 Notes & Citations

  1. Date of birth based on age at death. A calculation of their dates of birth from their ages at death suggests that Sarah and her sister Patience were twins. However, the witness statement of April 1683 when she gave evidence in the court action Sackett v. Haite gives her age as 26, suggesting she was a year or two younger than Patience.
  2. Monumental inscription on the grave of Sarah Sacket (St Mary's Church, Sandwich, Kent), "Here Lyeth Buried/ the Body of Sara/ Sacket Daughter of/ Cap Jeffrey Sacket/ one of the Jurats of/ this Towne Died the/ 22d of July 1683/ Aged 28."
