CC> Hi Folks Still looking for the whereabouts of Samantha Sackett.


CC> First:
CC> IGI shows Samantha born to unknown parents 1795/6 in Saratoga
CC> Springs, which did not exist until later, except as a summer
CC> gathering spot of men and no Sackett men listed.

CC> Saratoga Springs historian suggests looking at Saratoga or
CC> Schuylerville which was called Saratoga during rev war. Does anyone
CC> have access to Census records for either location that could look
CC> for her?

CC> Question: How accurate is Weygant's book?

CC> #730 Hon. Jehial Sackett 1768-1832 son of 280 Samuel and Thankful Wood
CC> Sackett married Semantha Knapp 1773-? daughter of Phineas Knapp. I
CC> hear they were the first white settlers in Duchess Co NY.
CC> Their daughter 1752 Sally was born abt the time of my Samantha. A 1761
CC> Semantha is last entry. Could the names have been reversed??

CC> Does Census data exist that would show when their Sally and Semantha
CC> were born? 1810 or 1820?

CC> Samantha Sackett married a Lovejoy and gave birth to Andrew 23 Dec 1816-- IGI
CC> shows birth Saratoga and Painesville, Geauga, Ohio. Then she marries
CC> Gideon Crofoot as a widow and gives birth to Sophia 14 Feb 1818.
CC> Andrew's name is changed to Crofoot. Gideon's mother was Sophia
CC> Knapp, so a connection between the Knapps and Sacketts would help
CC> explain the quick marriage to Gideon.

CC> Where can I find marriage records for 1816-1818 for NY?

CC> I am grasping at straws trying to piece this puzzle together. Can
CC> anyone help me?
