Notes:

According to his headstone in Ten Mile Cemetery, Macon Co., MO.; Thomas Sackett was born 30 Apr 1787 and died 15 Sep 1871. His father was Aaron Sackett (1760-1827) and his mother was Dorcas Clark (1770-1857) Thomas was born in Fayette Co., PA., probably in Uniontown where his father had bought a lot in 1784.

It appears that in the year 1796 Thomas moved with his parents and siblings from Fayette Co., PA. to what is now Butler Co., OH. It was here that Thomas first married on 23 Nov. 1808.

There are some questions concerning the marriages of Thomas Sackett. Evidence points to him having married four wives while records can be found for only three marriages.

The first marriage, for Thomas, was to Catherine Chambers in Butler Co., OH on 23 Nov 1808. A marriage record from Warren Co., OH. shows that he married Elizabeth (Boyer) Dickerson there on 1 Apr 1832. A headstone in the Old Sackett Cemetery, near Salisbury, IL. shows that Elizabeth Sackett died 21 Sep 1846, age 58y 7m 2d. Then on 15 Apr 1847 he married Mrs. Mary Mckee in Sangamon Co., IL.

There seems to be evidence that Thomas had another wife between his marriage to Catherine Chambers in 1808 and his marriage to Elizabeth (Boyer) Dickerson in 1832. First there are two deeds by which Dorcas Sackett, mother of Thomas, sold the 80 acres of land which were left to her in the will of her husband Aaron Sackett who died in 1827.

In the first deed, dated 6 Oct 1827, Dorcas Sackett, widow of Aaron Sackett, sold the 80 acres in Butler Co., OH. Signing the deed with her were all of her children and their spouses. The wife of Thomas signed as Margaret. In the second deed signed 9 Mar 1830, which involved the same 80 acres in Butler Co., OH., Dorcas Sackett signed for herself and had a power of attorney for her children and spouses; with the exception of Christopher and Phoebe Mosteller and Thomas Sackett. There is no mention of Margaret, the wife of Thomas who signed the deed in 1827.

It appears that following the sale of the land in Ohio, Dorcas and most of her family moved to Sangamon Co., IL. "The 1835 Taxlist of Sangamon Co., Illinois" by Thomas and Temple, shows that Thomas Sackett purchased land in what is now Gardiner Township in 1828 and 1829 and paid taxes on the land in 1835. Thomas Sackett is also listed on the 1830 Census for Sangamon Co., IL.:

Now, in a biographical sketch for L. Marion Wells we read:
"In 1852 he [James H. Wells] wedded Margaret Jane Sacket, a native of Salisbury township, Sangamon county, and a daughter of Thomas Sacket, who was born and reared in Ohio. He was also married there but lost his first wife in this county and subsequently wedded Elizabeth Boyer, who became the mother of Mrs. Wells. For some years after his marriage Mr. Sacket carried on farming in Sangamon county, but later removed to Missouri, spending his last years with his sons in Macon county, that state." [Copied from the Past and Present of Sangamon County; pages 1121 and 1122. by Alyce Beggs 8/28/2000]. Note that it says that Thomas was married in Ohio and lost his first wife in Sangamon County.

In the book by J. C. Power; "Old Settlers of Sangamon County", page 633: "Thomas Sackett was brought up near Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio, and was there married to Peggy Martin. They had six children in Ohio, and moved to Sangamon County, near Sangamon, previous to 1830. . ."

These two sources indicate that Thomas moved to Sangamon Co., IL. with his "first" wife and that her name was Peggy Martin. That Peggy died and then Thomas married Elizabeth Boyer.

However, we have Thomas' biography as told in the Henry Co., Iowa Biographical Sketches from around 1900:
Thomas Sackett was a native of Pennsylvania, born in 1789. Thomas & Catherine Chambers had these children: Dorcas (m. Levi Batterton, Menard Co., IL); John (m. Rhoda Hart of Green Co., KY); Samuel, a farmer of Macon Co., MO; Phoebe, (m. Milas Goodwin, farmer of Coos Co., OR); Mary, (m. Rev. AC Gaines, Douglas Co., NE); Harriet (m. Thompson Crider).

Mr. & Mrs. Sackett removed to Butler Co. in a very early day, & at that place their three eldest children were born, there they improved a beautiful farm on which they resided until 1816. They then removed to Brookville, Franklin Co, IN, where their three youngest children came to make the household. Here as in Ohio, they cultivated a beautiful farm of 160 acres, but in 1826 he moved back to the old home in Ohio. In 1828 he removed to Sangamon Co., IL, and again obtained school land & made a farm of 140 acres. Thomas Sackett was a man always in advance of civilization. While in Sangamon Co., his life companion was called to rest. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church & taught her children that in the teachings of the Bible all were made better to live & better to die.

About 4 years after the death of his first wife, Mr. Sackett married Elizabeth Dickerson & by this union 1 child was born, Margaret (m. Harvey Wells, Sangamon Co., IL); After the death of his second wife in 1847, Mr Sackett married May McKee, who died in 1857 after which time he made his home with his children. He died at the home of his son Samuel, Macon Co., Mo. 1872.

In this account the "first" wife of Thomas is given as Catherine Chambers and indicates that in Sangamon Co., IL. the "life companion" of Thomas died.

The problem surrounding the marriages of Thomas Sackett is compounded by the fact that, to date, researchers have been unable to find a marriage record for Thomas Sackett and Margaret "Peggy" Martin in the state of Ohio, or any of the surrounding states. It has been speculated that Catherine Chambers might have been the married name of a Catherine Margaret or Margaret Catherine Martin and that her marriage to Thomas Sackett was her second marriage.

Thomas married Chambers, Catherine on 23 Nov 1808 in Butler County, Ohio, USA. Catherine was born about 1785; died before 1827. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The ancestry of Catherine Chambers is unknown. The only mention we have of her is the record of her marriage to Thomas Sackett on 23 Nov. 1808 in Butler County, Ohio. By 1827, along with his mother, his siblings and their spouses; Thomas and his wife Margaret Sackett, signed a deed. Thus far, we have discovered no death or burial record for Catherine Sackett. Nor have we discovered a marriage record for Thomas Sackett and Margaret "Peggy" Martin who is mentioned in the History of Sangamon Co., IL as "his life companion was called to rest." Peggy's headstone gives her date of death as 9 Jul 183?. If we assume that the year of her death was 1830, then she was married to Thomas at age 17.

One branch of the descendants of Thomas has Catherine listed as "Mrs. Catherine Chambers" but researchers of that line have nothing to show why she is so designated. This leaves open the possibility that Catherine Chambers and Margaret "Peggy" Martin were the same individual. If this were true, it would mean that Catherine was married and divorced/widowed by age 17. - [Thurmon King]
