> Hello Sackett Searchers;

> I found another problem with Weygant's information as I continue to sort
through the emails from the end of 2003 and early 2004. On 19 Nov 2003 Jill
Hernandez posted this information from:

John and Ann, children of decedent.
> Dec. 6, 1760, bond of William Bush of Greenwich, guardian of William,
Elizabeth, Charity and Justus, other children of decedent.

> Sackett, Nathaniel, late of Greenwich, Jan. 12, 1761, letters of
administration on his estate granted to Joseph Sackett, page 215.

> Sackett, Nathaniel, late of Greenwich, inventory taken Jan. 20, 1761, by
Jabez Mead and Nathan Reynolds, and filed May 5, 1761, by Joseph Sackett,
page 285.

> Sackett, Nathaniel, and his wife Elizabeth Sackett, both deceased, late of
Greenwich, Apr. 24, 1769, William Bush the guardian of the minor children
William, Elizabeth, Charity, and Ann, asked the court to appoint
commissioners for the purpose of partitioning said estate, page 329.

> Observations:
> 1). On Page 69 Weygant gives the death year for 118-Nathaniel as 177_?.
and has this for his marriages:
> "[He] was married about 1739, to Anne Bush, daughter of Justus Bush, Jr.,
oldest son of Justus Bush and his wife Anne Smith, of Rye, Westchester
County, NY. Anne Bush Sackett died about 1746 and Nathaniel Sackett was
married to his second wife, Elisabeth, who died May 1, 1757. On May 10,
1760 he was married to his third wife, widow Sarah Lockwood." [Note: One
transcription of Barbour's Colledtion gives the date of Elizabeth's death as
May 1 1758]
>
> On 6 Dec 1760 Nathaniel is listed as "late of Greenwich" and guardians
were appointed for his eight children. The letters of administration for
his estate were granted in Jan 1761. From this it is evident that Nathaniel
died before 6 Dec 1760
>
> 2). It is interesting to note that the petition filed 24 Apr 1769 mentions
"Sackett, Nathaniel, and his wife Elizabeth Sackett, both deceased, late of
Greenwich" with no mention of Nathaniel's 3rd wife, Sarah. This 3rd
marriage would have been a rather short one [pardon the pun; "May to
December"]
