• Notes

  Some descendants of Richard believe that he is the same individual as Weygant's 1904-Richard, son of 766-Rev. Nathaniel Sackett. However, the estate records in Yates county show that Richard is listed in the papers relating to the estate of Thomas J. Sackett: http://www.linkny.com/~history/estate_s.htm Name / Date filed / Locator / Persons mentioned in petition Sackett Thomas J / 1859 / 128C / Jeremiah Barber; Sina, Minerva, Mary A, Asa, Elcy, Charles & Richard Sackett Sackett Asa & Elsie 1859 122C / GDN; William W Tyler Sackett Charles / 1860 / 49C / GDN; Sina, Minerva & Mary A Sackett; William W Tyler Sackett Richard / 1863 / 50D / Lydia, Asel J, Anna M, Mahala A & Richard J Sackett Sackett Charles / 1865 / 49C / Asa, Sina, Minerva, Mary, Elcy, Anna, Minnie, Tyler, ---- & Richard Sackett There is an absence of members of 766-Rev. Nathaniel Sackett's family in the records in Yates county after the 1835 census when Nathaniel's widow, Margaret, is listed. By 1840 their son 1900-Cornelius Sackett was residing in Seneca county with a male in his household that matches the age of his brother, Nathaniel. In the 1850 census for Romulus, Seneca Co., NY; Nathaniel is listed in the household of his brother Cornelius and their brother Samuel L. Sackett appears to be in the neighboring town of Ovid, Seneca Co., NY. Some researchers believe that Margaret, widow of 766-Nathaniel, returned to Cornwall, Orange Co., NY after 1835.
