  • Notes 
    • Thanks to the research of John Howard Sackett (TSFA Membe # 138), we were able to compile the information contained in these notes. - [Thurmon King]
      ------
      R. E. Sackett has Merrill C. as the younger brother of Harvey C. but the census information in 1850 and 1880 shows that Merrill was 3 years older than Harvey. Compare the census info below with that for Merrill's brother, Harvey.
      ------
      According to John S. Minard's HISTORY OF ALLEGANY COUNTY, p. 610, "... Merrill C., [Sackett] born in Rochester about 1802[sic][b. 1817], learned the carpenters trade of his father and married Sarah E., daughter of Alexander Rice, had 9 children, and died in March, 1886, his wife in October, 1893. Their son, Volney D. Sackett, was born in Whitesville, June 5, 1844. He was a carpenter until Septmeber, 1861, when he enlisted in Co. G, 46th Penn. He was in the battle of Winchester, Aug, 9, 1862, was wounded on the knee at Cedar Mountain, had his leg amputated, was a prisoner in Libby Prison 64 days, paroled and discharged Nov. 7, 1862."
      ------

      1820: Joseph Sackett Jr., age 26-45 (b. 1775-1794); Naples, Ontario Co., NY; 100 010 - 000 10
      For Joseph Jr. there is one son under 10 yrs who would be Merrill b. 1818.

      Census: 011 001 000 000 0 - 000 001 000 000 0
      The two sons would be 1) age 5-10, Harvey b. 1821 and 2) age 10-15, Merrill b. 1818.

      1840: Joseph Sacket Jr.; age 40-50 (b. 1790-1800); Independence, Allegany Co., NY
      Census: 000 110 100 000 0 - 000 100 100 000 0
      The sons would be 1m 15-20 would be Harvey b. 1821 and 1m 20-30 would be Merrill b. 1818 and one unknown female (probably Joseph's step-dau) age 15-20.
