FatherWilliam Sackett (1577-1639/40)
MotherJoan Parker (c 1580-1636/37)
Thomas Sackett, maltster of Ash, Kent, son of William Sackett and Joan Parker, was born on 25 December 1618 and baptized at St John in Thanet, KentG, on 3 January 1618/19.1 He died aged 47 and was buried at St Nicholas, Ash next SandwichG, on 3 October 1666.2 He married at St Mary, Sandwich, KentG, on 19 May 1642, Mary Coleman, by licence.3,4
     Thomas was named as a beneficiary in his father's will made at Ash next SandwichG on 27 June 1639.5 He was left (with brother Robert) his father's dwelling house, malthouses and the residue of the estate after various specific bequests.
     Thomas was named as a beneficiary in his brother Robert's will made in Herne, KentG, on 14 November 1658.6 He was left a sum of £1.
     An inventory of Thomas's estate was taken at Ash next SandwichG on 30 October 1673. His livestock, crops, and household goods were valued at £54.7,8 The date of the inventory, seven years after Thomas's death in 1666, is puzzling, but no other candidate to whom the inventory could relate is found. It may be assumed that the Jeffery Sacket Jnr who signed the inventory was Thomas's brother, although the suffix "Jnr" is also puzzling. Jeffery, the brother, had a son Jeffery, but the son would have been only about 13 at the date of the inventory.
