Notes

of the counties of Orange, Dutchess and Sullivan, in the State of New York.

When a mere lad he met with an accident which shortened one of his legs. This unfitted him for military service, and during the Revolutionary War was engaged in his father's store at Fishkill. At first under the direction of his uncle, James Sackett, who had charge of the absence of Nathaniel, whose time was almost wholly given up to public duties. But presently, James Sackett threw down his pen, shouldered his musket and marched away with the patriot army, leaving the lad to conduct the business as best he could. That he succeeded as well as could have been expected under the circumstances, is made apparent by the fact that his father, a few years later, made him a partner in the business. About the year 1800, Samuel Sackett removed from Fishkill to Moodna [Modena?], Orange County, where he had purchased a property with water power, and there engaged quite extensively in the milling business, and in the purchase of grain from farmers of Orange and adjoining counties, which he shipped in sloop loads to merchants in New York City. In 1813 he disposed of his mill and grain business and purchased a farm at Monticello, Sullivan County, N. Y., on which he remained for twelve years. He then returned to Orange County, N. Y., and in addition to conducting a farm, established a general store at Little Britain Square, New Windsor, which, with the aid of Samuel B., his oldest son by his second wife, Mary Bailey, he conducted in a successful manner during the remainder of his life. His death occurred September 9, 1841, in his 79th year.

It does not appear that Samuel Sackett ever held any public office of importance, but the records show that in the year 1897[sic] he was sent by the "National Appean Highway Company" to explore a suitable route for the proposed turnpike road from Newburgh, N. Y., westward to Cochecton. He, however, took and active part in public affairs and was a pronounced partisan and outspoken man of business. This is shown by the following extracts from a letter now lying before the writer, which is dated, "Windsor Mills, Oct. 22, 1812," and was written by him to his oldest son, Dr. John Sackett, who had a short time previously been appointed an assistant surgeon in the Regular United States Army and assigned to duty at Charleston, SC.

"Before this reaches you, you will probably be, and I hope safely, arrived at your destination * * * We have no news of consequence, only that the despicable Clinton faction are crowing loudly at the success of Federalists in the states of Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey, and are, as they pretend, calculating with great certainty on Pennsylvania; and of course, as they would have us believe, on the success of their infamous candidate. But as the election approaches such things are to be expected from such characters as compose that truly contemptible faction. Genl. Wilkin and Ross, who, as you know, are of the Clintonian State Committee of Correspondence, are, I am creditably informed, both ashamed of their conduct in this affair, and if I mistake not, are in opposition to their leader's wishes. The same day I received your letter I took one out of the post office for you, and knowing it to be from Dr. Little broke it open with the intention of reading it and informing you of the contents. But I have not been able to read it on account of the shamefully bad hand writing, however, I will endeavor to decipher it and inform you of the contents in my next. I think you had better acquaint him of our present situation in order that he may know where to direct to you in the future, and inform him that there is no occasion for sealing his letters. I am in much greater haste than I could wish, being under engagement to be at Newburgh before two o'clock, so that I have only leisure to add the assurance of my regard with great sincerity."

Your ever affectionate father,
Saml. Sackett. [Weygant, p. 135-136]
