I have found a Simon Sackett and a Mahala Sackett mentioned in a book about the History of Goodhue Co, Mn - 1893 http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/mn/goodhue/goodhue.html I'm not sure who these two Sacketts are but I'm wondering if the Mahala Sackett could be the same one mentioned in MaryLou's family tree. The age seems about right. Pam Schuster Offerdahl
