1748. Chauncey Sackett, 1798–1863, of Windsor, Astabula County, O., son of (729) Skene Douglas and Hannah Sexton Sackett, was married, Oct. 23, 1828, to Sarah Gladding, 1811–1882. Mr. Sackett learned the trade of carpenter and joiner, which he followed for a number of years with success, when he purchased a farm to the cultivation of which he turned his attention, living first in a log house, and later building for his family a commodious frame dwelling. He was for many years an active abolitionist, and his house was known as one of the stations on the so-called "underground railroad," by means of which runaway slaves were conveyed in safety from their southern plantation homes to Canada.
