  • 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
