Louella: I always welcome any Sackett related census information I can get. So, as long as you are willing to do the census lookups ... I really appreciate it. At the same time, I know what it is like to decipher some of the hand writing on some of those census images. I transcribed most of the 1790-1850 Sackett data while I had a subscription to Ancestry's census images online. And before the LDS put the 1880 census online at their website there were others who had the 50 CDs of the 1880 census, published by the LDS, and sent the Sackett information to me. And as you have noticed, I made some errors in my transcriptions and there are probably some errors in the transcriptions in the LDS index of the 1880 census. So it is nice to have another opinion of the data from the images. I believe it is still true that Ancestry.com does not have the 1860 and 1870 censuses indexed yet and looking for an individual without an index was very tedious to say the least. In one of your notes you said: "page 239a supposed to have a Phineas Sacket, age 64, born New York but can't read this page" Could you send me a copy of that image? There have been times I have been able to use my graphics programs to manipulate some of the images to make some of the data readable. I'm interested in a family I found in the 1850 census: Year: 1850; State: NY; County: Dutchess; Township: Stanford Roll: M432_497 Page: 206 137/137 Sackett, Phil? 52 m farmer NY Sackett, Emmy 44 f NY Sackett, Ann 20 f NY Sackett, Catherine B. 19 f NY Sackett, Elisa B. 17 f NY Sackett, Samuel O. 15 m NY Sackett, Stephen W. 13 m NY Sackett, William B. 12 m NY Sackett, George W. 10 m NY Sackett, Lucinda J. 9 f NY Sackett, Silas W. 6 m NY Sackett, Ada M. 4 f NY Sackett, Sara E. 2 f NY Sackett, Mary E. 2 f NY I don't remember what the problem was that I couldn't read the name of the head of household. But in my search of the Columbia Co., NY web pages I found a David Crego who married a Miss Anna H. Sackett of Dutchess Co. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nycolumb/crego.htm David Crego "Along with the history of the Van Burens, Hogebooms, Vanderpoels, and hosts of other statesmen, judges, and professional celebrities of Columbia county, it is fitting that some of the real representatives of the people should be noticed, -- that the men upon whose shoulders the burdens and responsibilities of this great republic chiefly rest should be assigned their proper place in these annals. And of these we may mention David Crego, of Claverack. He was the son of David Crego, who was born in Columbia county, and was married to Miss Susannah Poultney. They reared a family of nine children, named as follows: Polly, William, Fanny, Betsey, Thankful, Zubah, Clarissa, Emeline, and David. David Crego, Sr., lived to the advanced age of ninety-five years. Mrs. Susannah Crego died in 1848, at the age of seventy-one. After her death, Mr. Crego, Sr., was married to Mrs. Landrus; there were no children by this marriage. She also died several years before his decease. David Crego, Jr., was born in the town of Lebanon, on the 19th day of January, 1813; soon after his birth the family removed to Hillsdale, where they remained seventeen hears; they then sold out, and removed to Chatham Four Corners. David attended the common schools, and assisted in the labors of the farm until several years after he became of age. At the age of twenty-two, in 1834, he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Briggs, of Dutchess county. In 1834 he sold out in Chatham, and purchased a farm of two hundred and twenty-five acres in the town of Claverack, -- beautifully situated about one mile south of Claverack village, which has ever since been his home. Mrs. Crego died in 1851, at the age of thirty-six years, and two years later Mr. Crego filled the vacancy in his household by choosing another companion, -- Miss Anna H. Sackett, of Dutchess county. By his first wife he has two sons, Walton O. and George W., who are both married; and by his second wife he has two children, Charles S. and Sarah B., both at home with the parents." I found David Crego listed in the 1880 census: Census Place Claverack, Columbia, New York Family History Library Film 1254820 NA Film Number T9-0820 Page Number 119A David CREGO Self M Male W 65 NY Farmer NY NY Anna CREGO Wife M Female W 50 NY Keeping House NY NY Charles CREGO Son S Male W 22 NY NY NY Sarah CREGO Dau S Female W 18 NY NY NY From this census data Anna would have been 20 years old in the 1850 census and there is an Ann Sackett in the household of Phil? Sackett above. I haven't found another Ann/Anne/Anna in the data I have for Sacketts in Dutchess Co. in the 1850 census. Thurmon ----- Accurate information is our goal.
