Stiles Minister."
3. Weygant records a marriage to Samuel Moulthrop.
4. A marriage record in New Haven Vital Records, 320, reads "Samuel Gilbert
& Sarah Sacket of New Haven were Joyned in Marriage upon ye Second Day of
July 1750 by John Prout Esqr Justice of Peace." This marriage is unassigned.

Does anyone have more data on Sarah Sackett? I have two issues -
1. I am puzzled by the three possible marriages. Dean Roe's line includes
Jemima Barnes b. 1761, daughter of Daniel Barnes & Sarah (Sackett) Barnes.
This confirms that the Sarah Sackett of the Barnes/Sackett marriage was of
childbearing age. But were there other Sarah Sacketts in New Haven at this
time? As far as is known, there were only two Sarah Sacketts of
childbearing age in New Haven at this time - this Sarah and Sarah (w259),
daughter of w74 Jonathan Sackett & Ruth Hotchkiss. The latter Sarah is ruled
out as the subject of any of the three marriages as she was married to
Elisha Booth and had borne him a son in 1747, and was to bear him a daughter
in 1755. It would seem that the Sarah Sacketts of the Moulthrop and Gilbert
marriages were either additional Sarahs for whom birth records have not been
found or were widows of Sacketts. I do not have records of any Sarah Sackett
widows in New Haven at this time. Does anyone have any data/thoughts on
this? Anyone know of any Moulthrop or Gilbert children?
2. I picked up from somewhere a death date for Sarah of circa 1801. Any
ideas where this may have come from?

Regards,
Chris
