Alexander T. Sackett's father was Dr. Davied F. Sackett of Wayne Co., IN. His grandfather was Dr. Samuel Sackett of CT. and Fayette Co., PA.
Alexander was lost at sea when an explosion led to a fire that destroyed the ship LYON in the Atlantic, off Cape Hattaras, NC. The marker in the cemetery in IA appears to be a memorial marker put up in his memory. The erroneous information that he died aboard the SULTANA on the Mississippi River came from a news paper article in the paper at Richmond, IN.
I have copies of letters written by Alexander's father, grandfather and gr-grandfather.
I have very little concerning Alexander's family and I would love to exchange info with any his.
