Hello Sackett Searchers; While entering information from the Federal censuses into the Sackett database I have run across a "little problem" concerning the family of 1764-Harry Sackett and Catherine Pulver. Weygant has: 1764. Harry Sackett, 1800-1874, farmer, of Hull's Mills, Dutchess County, N. Y., son of (731) Samuel W. and Anna Hammond Sackett, was married, first to Catherine Pulver, 1808-1839, and several years after her death to Mariah Pulver. They were the daughters of William W. Pulver, 1773-1861, and his wife Christean Page 269 Mullins, 1780-1826, and the granddaughter of Wandell Pulver, 1735-1826, and his wife Susanna, and the great-granddaughter of Peter Pulver, 1708-1794, and his wife Catherine, and the great-great-granddaughters of Johannis Pulver of Livingston Manor. <SNIP> Children. 4403. Jason Sackett. 4404. Edward B. Sackett. 4405. Alida Sackett. ----------- When I entered this information into the database I had shown Catherine Pulver as their mother. Census information indicates that this was an error on my part.

Sackett (b. c1833) which would make him a son from Henry's 1st marriage to Catherine Pulver who died in 1839. And Catherine A. Sackett (b. c 1846) with Edwin/Edward B., Alida, and Jason M. who were probably all the children of Henry by his 2nd wife, Mariah "Polly" Pulver. I do not have the census information for this family for 1860 and 1870. But the 1880 census has something interesting: 1880 census; Stanford, Dutchess, New York FHL Film 1254825 National Archives Film T9-0825 Page 371A Polly SACKETT Self F W W 70 NY Keeping House NY NY Edward B.

Perhaps the 1860 and 1870 censuses would help clear this up. Another question would be; are the SELLECK children related? Thurmon ------ Accurate information is our goal.
