Dear Brother I once more take pen in hand to let you know that
through the goodness of God we are all well at present as I hope
this may finde you. I received a letter from you by Doc Droun which
gave me the sad inteligence of the loss of your Wife and that of
your Son. for which I Console with you it might be a great breach in
your family especially that of your Wife. but you might be consider that
it is the Lord that has done it and therefore we ought to be Submissive
under frowns and put our trust in him at all times whither in prosper-
-ity or adversity ----- I also received another letter Dated the 5th April
which I received with joy to hear that the remnant of your family were
well and I hope may Continue So --- You say that your family is much scatred
and you have reason to beleave are doing well and I am glad to hear of their
prosperity of which I no doubt is the case of their doing well as to this world is
good but I want to hear if they live in places where the worship of God is kept up
or where they keep the Saboth or whither there is any thing of a serious nature
where any of them live, or whither they live only to themselves and are not
rich atoward God. now I donat know but those enqurieis will be strange to you
but as they have of the most importance I want to hear, for I hope I have
a regard to the prosperity of Sion -----------------
as to our relations Sister Aner lives in her house with only one little
boy about 13 years old. her situation is rather lonely tho she has property so
she can support her self comfortably. She keeps one horse and one cow and that
is all she pretends to winter. She is not very healthy but has a feble Constitu-
-tion ------ Lusindas health has not been well this summer as usual nor
Brother Fullars. they have two daughters married of which one lives at
Sharon. the other lives near the Susquhannah on Doc Roses purchace in
the Town of Rush, She married a man by the name of William Barton ---
the rest of their children are not married and live at home (viz) two girls then
two boys. one boys name Cyrus the other Willaim. as for Violittys family
they all live with their Father. Brother Gates is not a vary healthy
Man but is a Man that is doing well and Makes property, his second Wife
does vary well in the family. I beleave they are all well as usual --------
Unkle Justus is living and intended to go to New Connecticut this next fall
but has yet to see his Son Salmon who lives there he lives in the town
of Tallmadge but Unkle has net with a great misfortune. in the month
of February last (I think it was) he was walking just out of doors when his
feet Slipped from under him and as he fell he broke one of his thies so that
he has not been able to walk one step on that leg Since nor is it likely that he
ever will again for the bones do not unite and the soreness is gone so there
is a large place in the thy, he can walk with Crutches if some body will
Steady him. he has been to meeting several times this Summer They lift him
in and out of the Waggon and So they Convey him to the Meetinghouse and back
again, Unkle retains his Mental faculdies remarkably well. Unkles Children
are all living, except Lydia, and well except Minervy. She has a feble Constitution, they
are doing well -- it is a general time of health here tho there is some
Exceptions and some deaths

Note: The reference to Reuben residing in East Greenwich comes from the founding of the East Greenwich Ecclesiastical Socity in 1756, which later became Warren. - [Thurmon King]
------
Weygant spelled his name as "Sacket." However, in a letter written by him, dated September 5 1792 to his son Dr. Samuel Sackett, he signed his name as "Reuben Sackett."

There also seems to be conflicting dates for the death of Reuben Sackett. Some have June 5, 1803 while others have July 5, 1803. Reuben's will is dated in 1800 and was presented for probate on 25 July 1803. Therefore, the answer to the conflict would be whether or not the heirs waited for almost two months to present the will for probate.The Warren Cemetery Association uses the June 5, 1803 date. - [Thurmon King]

Notes:

of Westfield, Mass., and of the towns of Hebron and Kent (now Warren) in Conn.

Jonathan Sacket was born and grew to manhood in the town of Westfield.
Immediately after his marriage to Abigail Ashley he took possession of a small farm at Hebron, Conn., which he had purchased the previous year. There is some uncertainty as to just when he removed from Hebron to Kent. The records of Kent show that in the year 1745, "Jonathan Sacket, of Hebron," purchased from one Joseph Fuller, certain lands in that town, and that in 1749 he purchased from one Joseph Phillips another tract in same town. These records also show that in 1749 he conveyed certain lands in the town of Kent to his son, Jonathan Sacket, Jr.

Wills of Jonathan and Anne Sacket.

In the name of God AMEN. I Jonathan Sacket, of Kent in Litchfield County, Colony of Connecticut, in New England. ... give unto Anne my beloved wife the use of the half of my dwelling house and the half of my barn and the use of the half of my lot that I now live on during her widowhood, and I also give unto my beloved wife to be at her disposal as she please, two cows and ten sheep and my riding mare and side saddle and bridle, and all my household goods and beds and bedding, pots, kettlesand co.

Jonathan Sackett (1696-1773)
by Thurmon King

As was the case with his father William, I have been unable to find much information concerning Johnathan beyond the bare statistics. Jonathan was the youngest of four children born to William Sackett and Hannah Graves. He was born 20 Mar 1695/96 in Westfield, Hampshire Co. (now in Hampden Co.), MA.

By the time he married Abigail Ashley Feb 1721/22 he had appearantly relocated to Hebron, Tolland Co., CT. Abigail appears to have been the daughter of Joseph Ashley of Springfield, MA and Mary Parsons of Northampton, MA. She died in the year she was married leaving no children.

Jonathan then married 23 Jan 1724/25, Anne Filer (Fyler), daughter of Samuel Filer and Abigail Phelps, in Hebron, Tolland Co., CT. Between 12 Jun 1726 and 14 Apr 1743 Jonathan and Anne had eight children born to them. Some researchers show that in the period between 22 Sep and 18 Oct 1749, three of their youngest children died. Weygant shows that the four youngest "probably died in childhood". Their deaths were probably due to an epidemic of measles which afflicted the states of Conneticut, New York and Pennsylvania starting in 1747.

Jonathan and Anne moved from Hebron, Tolland Co., CT. to Kent, Litchfield Co., CT. sometime before 22 Sep 1750 when Jonathan Sackett signed as a witness to the will of Thomas Beeman (who died in December, 1750) in Kent.

Jonathan died in Kent 1 Sep 1773

William married Graves, Hannah on 27 Nov 1689 in Westfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts, USA. Hannah (daughter of Graves, Sgt. Isaac and Church, Mary) was born on 24 Jan 1666 in Hadley, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA; died in Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Thomas Graves, colonist the grandfather of Hannah Graves Sacket, came to New England accompanied by his wife and several almost or quite grown up sons previous to the year 1631, presumably in one of the vessels of Governor Winthrop's fleet in 1630. Very soon thereafter he erected a dwelling house a few miles inland from Boston. It is recorded in the ancient records of the Colony that when, on March 6, 1632-3, the "line of division between Newtown and Charlestown" was established, it was determined that "the neck whereon Mr. Graves' house standeth shall belong to Newtown."

When in 1636 Mr. Hooker and the larger number of the inhabitants of Newtown removed to Hartford, George Graves, one of the sons of Thomas, joined the migrating company. An account of their memorable journey has been given in the biographical sketch of (1) Simon Sackett, colonist, and his wife Isabel.

The name of George Graves appears engraved on the monument erected, some sixty years since, to the memory of the "Founders of Hartford," in the ancient burying ground of that city. A few years after the date of the Hooker migration, Thomas Graves, with his wife and several children - including his son Isaac - removed from Newtown, then called Cambridge, to Hartford.

Isaac Graves, son of Thomas, the colonist, was married at Hartford about the year 1645 to Mary Church. In 1656 they removed to Hatfield and later to Hadley, where in January 24, 1666, their daughter Hannah, who married William Sacket, was born. [Ref: Proprietors Records, Page 53, Births, Deaths, Marriages of Families 1660-1825.]

Richard Church, colonist, and his wife Annie, were at Hartford in 1637, and removed from there in 1660to Hadley, where he died in December, 1667. In his will he mentions his daughter "Hannah, wife of Isaac Graves."
