About
Born in southern Ohio, Nancy has lived in Roswell, NM for nearly 15 years. Nancy has worked in the computer field for 25 years; mostly in educational institutions both in Ohio and New Mexico. For twenty of those years, she’s worked with her husband, Bill. Nancy, along with Bill, raised three children (presently, a Wildlife Biologist, a Principal Financial Analyst and a Physics PhD Professor) before beginning her college education. Nancy grew up on a traditional type farm in Highland County, Ohio. While other teens across the US played sports, Nancy slopped hogs, gathered eggs, handmilked cows, cleaned the hen house with a shovel, and swatted flies hoeing the garden.
Although she had been doing genealogy research since 1967, Nancy’s hobby exploded with the capabilities of the Internet in 1995. She collected correspondents rapidly and in 1996, she created the COUNTRYMAN-L Mailing List to manage her large distribution list easier. Little did she know that she had created a routine that would be hard to break. In 1997, she created the SACKETT-L list; the LETSON-L list in 1998, the SIDERS-L list in 2000 and the MCKAY-ELKENNY-L in January of 2003.
She attributes the success of SACKETT-L as much to the founding subscribers as to herself in doing the actual work. They have been her invaluable support network.
Nancy also enjoys reading mysteries, doing crossword and jigsaw puzzles, crocheting, bird watching, hiking and gardening (especially herbs). Her major interest of late is playing with her five grandchildren located in Ohio, Utah and Florida.

About
Well it all started when I was about 15 and my parents got me interested in genealogy. When I was 18 I went into the Navy, where I was a photographer. For several years I had my new career, and then my new family, to keep me busy and I didn’t do any genealogy. One day I got an email from a person researching my maiden name, and the next thing I knew I was bit by the bug again.
I am married and have a son who is 18 years old, who went off to the Navy Aug 25th, first for boot camp and then their intensive Nuke training. My family thinks I'm a bit loony because I spend time in cemeteries and tracing history. My husband loves to learn about history just not his own. At this point I have been mostly finding documentation for the information I have gathered from many other sources to make sure that all the information that has been gathered is accurate.
Work takes me to DC several times a year, where I started copying my family's military records. I have most of my direct line so I have started on getting all of the Sackett military records. Even though I will eventually get them all I am willing to look for any specific ones if any one has any requests. I take digital pictures of the documents so there is only a minimal cost for each record.

About
Some have referred to me as being a world traveler. I have been in 46 states and 13 countries and I'm still adding to it. I was born in Atlanta and grew up in Stone Mountain, Georgia. After high school I attended technical school on electrical technology.
I then entered the Navy and spent 4 years aboard the Aircraft Carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt CVA 42. I made two Mediterranean Cruises. Whenever we went into a new port, I would always sign up for whatever tours were available for that port. In doing so I got to see a lot of the countryside and how the people over there lived.
After I left the navy, I went to work in a cabinet shop building cabinets, and helped my father with his hardware store. I then worked as a Heating and Air Conditioning Tech for about 7 years. I am an outdoors person and like to be able to move around. I went into farming and found out what work was really like. Sun up to sun down and then a lot more.
I am a licensed Private Pilot, Real-estate Sales Assoc, and Pre Paid Legal Sales Associate. I have run a sawmill and planer mill. My wife and I Sawed and Dressed all the lumber in our home. I was captain of a 47 ft. motor yacht. I own property in 5 states.
My Wife of 30 years this year is a school teacher. My Daughter attends the Medical College of Georgia and is studying to be a physical therapist.

About
Chris Sackett, of Guernsey in the Channel Islands, is a Chartered Management Accountant and was, until enforced early retirement in 1998 when the business was taken over, chief executive of the Guernsey Press group of companies, which amongst other things publishes the island's daily newspaper.
He became interested in the Sackett family history in about 1990 when a hitherto unknown Australian cousin wrote asking generally for information on his branch. Realising he knew next to nothing, he set about finding out, and a mild interest gradually developed into a major enthusiasm. His enquiries led him to discover cousins in the U.K., not least Marion Sackett of Reading, Berkshire, who has carried out an enormous amount of primary research on the English Sacketts.
Chris is compiling the English data into 'book' form. He has been involved with the Sackett Discussion List since its inception and is delighted to have had the opportunity to meet some cousins from the List in Salt Lake City and in Boston, and to help with the work of the Sackett Association. He is a member of the Guild of One-Name Studies.
Amongst his other interests are history, especially political and military history, and local history where it relates to places settled by Sacketts, skiing and mountain walking, and trying to play the alto saxophone.

5 Thurmon King
(2009)
Rev Thurmon Eugene King, son of James Duffield King and Grace Mabel Sackett, was born in Marietta, Love County, OklahomaG, on 30 July 1930.1 He died aged 92 on 30 December 2022. He married in Yuma, Yuma County, ArizonaG, on 29 May 1950, Sylvia Irene Brumley.1
     Thurmon King was a founder member of the Sackett Family Association, attending the inaugural gathering in Salt Lake City in 2003. He had been involved with others since the late 1990s with the Sackett mailing list and had already accumulated a large database of Sackett genealogy. In recognition of this, he was asked to take on the role of Association Historian, with a focus on the American lines. He continued this work until "retiring" in 2015 when he handed over the database to Ted Smith. Thurmon served on the Sackett Family Association Committee from its founding in 2003, was President from 2005 to 2007, and continued as an active researcher until 2019.

Thurmon E. King
30 July 1930 - 30 December 2022
Survived by his wife Sylvia (of 72 years), 4 daughters and spouses, 2 sons and spouses, 12 grandchildren, 32 great grandchildren.
     Thurmon was born in Oklahoma, then moved to Yuma AZ in 1940 where he graduated from Yuma High in 1950. He then attended Arizona Bible College. For 30 years he was the pastor of several small churches in Nevada, California, and Washington. One of Thurmon's nephews said that "Uncle Thurmon was the one I most respected. He revealed Jesus to me, and I knew I needed to know the Jesus he revealed."
     Since the churches he served couldn't provide a full salary, Thurmon took on additional jobs to support his family. He was a skilled metal worker and two of his projects were on lift gates on dams in Washington. His last major job was making the guides for the cable bridge built across the Columbia River between Pasco and Kennewick. When he retired from active pastoral ministry he had a trucking business until he retired in 1995. Thurmon used to say that he didn't leave the ministry, but rather, he "took it on the road."
     A teacher with a love of history, Thurmon began researching his ancestry as a direct descendant of Simon Sackett, who came to America in 1630. He was one of the original founders of the Sackett Family Association and served as the historian until 2019. He helped many find and document their ancestry plus teaching how to do the research.
     He was an amazing person, a wonderful husband and father. We miss him.

—Sylvia King, Feb 2023


I breathed my first breath on July 30, 1930 in a little farm house near Marietta, OK. My first memories are from age 2½ years. Between then and our move to Yuma, AZ in 1941 we lived in 9 other places.
     From the year I started school through the 4th grade I had repeated one grade, missed 1½ years of school and changed schools 7 times and occasionally made the honor roll.
     In high school I majored in agriculture, was a member of the FFA and the Yuma Criminals football team. During my junior year I became a Christian and met the girl I married 4 days after we graduated from high school. I felt called to the ministry during my senior year and my education plans changed. Beyond high school: Arizona Bible Institute in Phoenix, AZ, 1 year; Western Baptist College, Salem, OR, 2½ years; and extension courses from Fuller Theological Seminary.
     I was a "jack of all trades" working as a heavy equipment operator, mechanic, welder, farm hand, hard rock miner, "powder monkey" (high explosives), and truck driver. Most of my work from 1956 to 1974 was "bi-vocational." I worked in secular employment while serving 17½ years as pastor of 5 different churches in NV, CA, and WA. I owned and operated a long haul truck 1977-1994.
     In 54 years of marriage Sylvia and I have lived in 34 different places in Arizona, California, Nevada, Washington, and Oregon. And were successful as parents of 2 boys and 4 girls.

"For those that didn't have a chance to meet Thurmon in person there is no way to explain the person he was, but he had some great stories he shared with us all in our newsletters. I think we called them "stories from our childhood". i know they are still out there so if you haven't had a chance yet to check them out you should."
[These were Thurmon's Tales From My Childhood. See Newsletter Index.]

Chris Sackett #4 —
"Thurmon was a regular attendee at Sackett family reunions, endearing himself to all who met him there. Other family members could only wonder at his apparent photographic memory of names, dates and places of multiple branches of the family. Genealogical questions were answered with an amused smile, as was a more personal question about his reasons for retiring early from the ministry. His self-deprecating reply, "I wasn't a good minister", was accompanied by a knowing chuckle at the ambiguity of his answer: did he mean the quality of his ministry or his qualities as a man? There was no need for a follow-up question. We all had already formed our opinions of this good and remarkable man."

Darlene Sackett #6 —
"I have been working with Thurmon since before we started the association. He was a wealth of knowledge and a wise leader. I will miss his wisdom, kindness and Christian heart."

"I was soooo hoping, for these many years, as founding members that one day Thurmon and I would yell out! We connected Jill’s Elizabeth SACKETT married to IRS Howe to her Family! I know that Thurmon will be watching all of us. Hey! He just might whisper to me ! She’s been right there all this time! Then tell me where to connect her. Love you my friend."

Wendy Sacket #10 —
"I have wonderful memories of meeting Thurmon and his wife Sylvia at the first Sackett family reunion in Salt Lake City. His research efforts in compiling his database and his many acts of kindness to other researchers will not be forgotten."

Carroll M. Lawson #28 —
"Having corresponded with Thurmon since the 1990's about records at Yuma and our mutual Ancestors, it is with great sadness I hear this news. He was always gracious and a joy to correspond with. I will miss knowing he is in our world. My prayers are for solace for the family at this time."

Don Hertzler #45 —
"Glenna and I were fortunate to get to attend a number of the early Sackett Family Reunions starting with the second one. It was at those events we came to know and love Thurmon and Sylvia King. They were spiritual, loving, and caring people. The thing that stood out when talking to Thurmon was his ability to recall extensive genealogy data and make interconnections across a wide range of information. He may not have had a photographic mind but he certainly made you wonder if he didn’t. He loved to solve a puzzle or mystery – especially if it involved real people – past and present.
     When he and Sylvia retired they purchased a rural 5-acre "farm" north of Pasco, WA – a town of about 80,000 at the junction of the famous Snake and Columbia rivers. The farm was located on an arid but fertile plain in south central Washington that was made productive by irrigation from the two rivers. They loved the rural life in their modern triple wide prefab home. At one reunion, Thurmon was muscled up. I asked him if he was lifting weights. He said he wasn’t in the traditional sense. The "flower" beds around their home had been filled with round river rocks by the previous owner. Thurmon and Sylvia wanted real flowers and vegetables in their gardens so Thurmon dug up the river rock, filled 12 five-gal plastic buckets with the rock, lifted them into the back of their Dodge SUV, and transported them to place at the edge of a road along a drainage canal. It took him seven loads of 12 buckets!!! He was in his 80’s. That gives you a measure of his work ethic.
     When Thurmon started working on the Sackett Family database, he had only a land line with dialup internet. Remember the bzzzzzzz, "You’ve got mail!" response? When the connection was successful, it was VERY slow. It took a lot of patience to communicate this way. In later years he had access through a faster satellite connection.
     When Sylvia developed mobility problems, they moved to a one story home in Pasco. Thurmon and their children helped remodel the home. The new home was closer to family and medical services. Sylvia still insisted on cooking the evening meal even though she required a wheelchair to get around.
     In July of 2018 Thurmon gave a brief update of their situation on TSFA list. It had been several years since Glenna and I had seen him, so I sent him a private email to "catch up." He responded with a wonderful and extensive email. I will end by quoting him from a part of that thread."
From Thurmon's 2018 email
"Due to the fact that I have always been something of a "research nut" I enjoyed working as the Sackett Historian. I actually started the database to help Chris Sackett. He had started on a project to update Weygant's book by 2001. Members of the mailing list were sending in their information faster than he could get it entered into his database. He asked for members to stop until he could get caught up. After a month or so, I felt that interest in the project was fading. I posted a note telling the members to send the information to me and I would send it to Chris when he got ready to enter more information. Chris encouraged me to continue developing the database, concentrating on Sacketts and descendants living in North America and he could continue developing information about Sacketts in other countries.
     As you probably know, it becomes quite interesting when you discover that something was done incorrectly after quite a bit has been entered. Well, I had used 3 different genealogy programs before I got Legacy. And information entered into the other programs didn't always agree with one another and Legacy was no exception. Thankfully, I had other TSFA members who worked with me on the database and other projects. That really helped get things into a better format.
     I was glad when Ted Smith volunteered to take over the Sackett Database. He immediately moved it to its present site and has done most of the work on it. The program he uses allows him to permit other researchers to edit and add their (ancestry) line as long as they follow the rules of the program he uses. And he has added plenty of individuals and information to the database. Ted is still finding things that need to be changed.
     So, I am happy, and proud, of all the work that has been done in the Sackett family research since we started around the time TSFA was founded."
"May you rest in peace Thurmon King. You were a good man."

Ted Smith #55 —
"Thurmon is my late mother’s third cousin. Our nearest common ancestors are Samuel Sackett (1799-1856) and Julia Ann Heath (1810-1894).
     After corresponding with Thurmon for several years, I finally was able to meet him in Fort Wayne at a TSFA gathering. He was very personable and quite willing to chat about family connections. Over the years, I occasionally flooded him out with contributions to the database that he was compiling. I think he did a yeoman’s job for TSFA in putting that database together as well as responding to questions and helping others research their own ancestral lines. In the years after taking on the task of importing his database to https://Sackett-tree.org and continuing his work, I have found very few errors.
     In December 2019, my wife and I moved to Washington State, and I had intended to reconnect with Thurmon, but, alas, the pandemic made such visits unwise. I count that missed opportunity as a personal loss.
     Having said that, his genealogical work lives on and, hopefully, will be a continuing springboard for new researchers!"

Kari Roehl #77 —
"I am so sad to hear the news about Thurmon. He is the first member of the Sackett family we had met albeit only over the internet.
     My husband Steve and he were related but I do the genealogy in the family.
     We corresponded multiple times and for a while I worked on helping him fill in some gaps. I really wanted to prove and supply the maiden names of the women who married into the Sackett line and we were successful to some extent on that.
     He even called me his “assistant” for a while! We had tried to visit him twice when we were RVing but each time the fires kept us away.
     He was a great family man. Always speaking of his wife and children as well as the ancestors. He did this family a huge service and personally I will be thankful for it forever.
     My condolences to Sylvia and his family. We have lost a true gentleman and man of wisdom."

Rachel Stella #112 —
"I met Thurmon online in 2000 and had the pleasure of meeting he and his wife at the Fort Wayne, Indiana reunion which was held not far from my Indiana home.
     Thurmon was not only a mentor to me in the research and completion of my family history, but he was even more so, a wonderful mentor in my Christian faith. I will miss him dearly.
     I plan to print your comments and send them in a little booklet to Sylvia. I know she will appreciate each and every one."

John Howard Sackett #138 —

"I am saddened to read of the passing of Thurmon King. I am so very grateful to him for starting the on-line Sackett family group. I was able to verify the info my grandfather had given me as well as add to it.
     My sympathies to Thurmon’s family."

Marty Price #676 —
"I am sorry to hear of Thurmon's passing. My brother, Richard Price, who passed away in August 2021, received a lot of help from Thurmon when he was researching our Sackett lineage which will always be appreciated by our family. It is good to know that Thurmon was able to live such a long life up to 92 years."

About
Darlene Sackett, of Portland, Oregon is the only child of Howard and Donna Sackett. Though currently pursuing her master of arts in counseling, she previously was a residential counselor working with adolescent boys in residential treatment. After completing her master's degree she would like to continue working with adolescents as a counselor or case manager.
Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with both her parents and husband of almost three years. Though she and her husband do not yet have children, they do have two cats that seem to think they are human.
Darlene's search for her ancestors began in 2001 after she had quit her job and actually had time to do some research. Her grandmother had left her some family tree information and Darlene is now gladly continuing the work.
In addition to genealogy, Darlene also enjoys scrapbooking, gardening, reading, art, decorating, watching movies and traveling. Some of her favorite places to vacation are Disney theme parks, the Oregon Coast and Canada.

About
Patty Sackett Chrisman is one of the original members of the Sackett mailing list and of TSFA. She is originally from Portland, Oregon, but has lived on the East Coast for about 15 years and now lives in Maplewood, New Jersey with her husband Stephen and their sons James (10) and Thomas (6). Patty has a BFA (1982) and an MS (1990) in Historic Preservation from the University of Oregon. Prior to the birth of her children, Patty worked for four years as an Historian and Architectural Historian for the National Register of Historic Places at the National Park Service in Washington, D.C.
Patty has been involved in genealogy since her teens—predominantly as a way to find out about the ancestors of her much loved grandfather, Russell W. Sackett. Her grandpa’s parents divorced when he was very young, leaving him with no connection and no knowledge of his paternal family. Genealogy has proved to be quite compatible with her academic work—mostly studying the history and material culture of 17th and 18th century America. Patty truly enjoys research—particularly the use of primary documents. She is a big reader and knitting is a passion.
Patty serves as Vice Chair of the Maplewood Historic Preservation Commission and also does a bit of consulting. She is active in the elementary school as a volunteer and is a Deacon in the Presbyterian Church. Patty and her family spend weekends in the summer and fall hiking and biking and in the winter and spring all weekends are spent skiing.

About
Glenna’s mother-in-law, Viola Sackett Hertzler, sparked her interest in family history. Viola always had on a shelf above her dining room door, a goldfish bowl filled with pieces of old newspaper articles. Viola had inherited the bowl from her father Joe (Josiah Andrew) Sackett. About ten years ago on a visit to Colorado, Viola allowed Glenna and Don to “take down” the goldfish bowl and look through the pieces. A letter dated 1839 from a mother (Lucinda Sackett) to her son (James) was among the pieces. The newspaper bits became old family obituaries. No one remembered who any of the “newspaper” people were and thus the puzzle began.
Glenna practiced as a Registered Dietitian in western Oklahoma for almost forty years. She and Don have two daughters and four grandchildren. Family camping trips are a favorite part of their family stories. In addition to finding family connections Glenna enjoys reading, hiking and visits with family.

About
Although she's sure that her interest in reading has earlier roots, Wendy traces her keen interest in American history back to the fifth grade, when she had to write a report on a colony (she chose Connecticut, in honor of Skene Sackett). Her interest in family history was prompted by her sixth grade teacher's request for each student to create a timeline of his or her life along with a brief family tree. Wendy remembers hauling out the Weygant volume of The Sacketts of America and carefully reading the handwritten notes written in the margins by her grandfather Eugene Sacket and her great aunt May Belle Sacket Humphrey. It was then that she caught a brief glimpse of what efforts would be necessary to bring that volume up to date. What a privilege it is to participate in the activities of The Sackett Family Association to preserve and share Sackett family history with current and future generations!
A third-generation Californian, Wendy earned her bachelor's degree in history from UCLA and her master's degree in American history from the College of William and Mary in Virginia before entering the workplace in 1987 as a book editor. After honing her editorial eye working for a reference book publisher for ten years in Pasadena, California, she moved back home to Irvine to accept a position editing student guides and other instructional materials at a local community college in 1997. The books Wendy now edits are companion guides for college courses that are licensed and broadcast throughout the United States. While she loves the opportunity to learn something new every day, Wendy is especially gratified that her access to the college's computer network gives her the opportunity to indulge in her favorite hobby—genealogical research!

(1949–2011)
Dr Mary Lou Sackett-Penn, daughter of Lester Walter "Red" Sackett and Helen Beeken Miller, was born in Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, MichiganG, on 12 May 1949.1 She died aged 61 in Hillsdale, MichiganG, on 20 March 2011.1
     
TSFA vice president
Mary Lou was a founder member of the Sackett Family Association and served on the committee from its formation in 2003 until 2008, becoming vice president in 2007 and taking on the role of acting president in 2008 when president Fred Sackett had to step down for health reasons. She had been an active Sackett family researcher from a young age, and was a member of the Sackett mailing list from its beginnings in 1997.
     Mary Lou is remembered with great affection by those Association members who had the privilege of meeting her at the Sackett reunion in Boston in 2006 and again the following year at Fort Wayne, a reunion which she herself organized.

Mary Lou: in her own words (2008.)
I grew up in Monroe County, Michigan, and lived most of my life there and in Hillsdale County, Michigan, where I live now. I have two grown children, Samantha and Terry Lee Knoll II, and four wonderful grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
     My mother, Helen Beeken Miller Sackett, began researching when I was ten years old. I helped her over the years research her family, but she didn’t have much information on the Sackett line. In 1966 I graduated from Dundee, Michigan, High School and in 1976 from Monroe County Community College. After my divorce, I became a chiropractor, graduating in 1979 from Palmer College of Chiropractic. I am now semi-retired from chiropractic and currently very involved in helping people heal with lifestyle changes that include detoxifying the body and eating a raw vegan food diet, a lifestyle I follow since my discovery of having breast cancer in 2003. I spent three months the following winter at the Creative Health Institute in Union City, Michigan, volunteering, teaching and learning as much as possible. Later, I worked full time there for over three years. It has helped me tremendously, and I’m healthier now than I have been in years.
     Besides working on my genealogy research, I am a member of the Hillsdale County Genealogical Society, past acting President of The Sackett Family Association, VP of Woman’s Life Insurance Society Chapter 734, member of Unity Church of Jackson & its Prayer Team, the Michigan Association of Chiropractic, and The Planetary Society. I am a Star Wars fan and an avid reader. Currently I am founder, owner and instructor at Back to Basics Naturally, a center to teach the detoxification and rejuvenation of the body through healthy living, a lifestyle that allowed my body to cure itself from cancer five years ago.

About
Gordon Adams was born and raised in Virginia and because of his career in the United States Air Force has lived in most of the states in the USA as well as "one year in Labrador and seven years in Europe." Gordon says he "started [researching] on my family about 1935, and have hundreds of ancestral surnames, primarily English, Dutch, French, and Belgian." Chris Sackett shares that Gordon is "unusual amongst American Sacketts in that he does not descend from either Simon the colonist or John of New Haven, but comes from a later arrival—his great-great-grandfather Henry Sackett who emigrated from Thanet, Kent, to New York City in about 1836." The reason he began researching his family history is because "my family had many, many snapshots. I felt a need to understand if and how I was related to all of these people; primarily an identification problem at first; is this guy husband of my first cousin standing with him? Which of my seven uncles was her father?"

20 TSFA president Tom Smith & Ramsgate mayor Kay Dark exchange gifts
(Thanet 2008)
Thomas Charles Smith, son of Lloyd Ezra Smith and Hazel Edith Devereaux, was born in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York StateG, on 29 October 1943. He died aged 66 in Clinton, ConnecticutG, on 31 March 2010. He married at PoughkeepsieG on 25 November 1964, Antonia Diane "Toni" Mancuso, daughter of Anthony Mancuso and Marjorie Sykes.

TSFA President

Tom Smith was a founder member of The Sackett Family Association and made a considerable contribution both to the research of the Sackett family history and to the successful formation and development of the Association. His own Sackett ancestry traces back, through his paternal grandmother, Edna Mae Sackett, to Simon Sackett (1595–1635), the colonist forefather of the major branch of Sacketts in America.
     Tom served as a committee member of the Association for many years, eventually taking on the presidency in May 2009. He was instrumental in setting up the DNA testing project in 2004 and continued to administer the scheme. Tom supported enthusiastically the Sackett family reunions, most recently at the Thanet, Kent, gathering in September 2008, when his courteous manner and gentle dry sense of humor won the hearts of friends old and new.

The following is extracted from an obituary in The Middletown Press (see Notes & Citations below for link to full text)

Obituary

Tom graduated from F. D. Roosevelt High School in Hyde Park, N.Y., in 1964, where he met and married Antonia "Toni" D. Mancuso.
     After moving to Connecticut in 1968, Tom was employed by the F.J. Dahill Structural Restoration and Renovation Company in New Haven for 42 years. He worked as an estimator and special projects manager, also representing his company as an officer in many trade organizations locally and nationally. In Clinton, he served on the Zoning Board of Appeals, Republican Town Committee, and also served as coordinator for the 2nd district congressman for two of his election cycles. Tom played an instrumental part in the construction of the new Clinton Police Headquarters. He was a member of the Clinton Historical Society. He attended the University of New Haven, studying business administration and history. He was also proud to serve with the Sons of the Union Veterans and the Sons of the American Revolution. Tom was very much a genealogist, researching with The Sackett Family Association, and had coordinated trips to Salt Lake City, Boston, and England, where the family originated. He was also DNA project manager, registrar, vice president, and, in 2009, became president of the association. He belonged to the Connecticut Society of Genealogists, New England Historical and Genealogical Society, National Genealogical Society and also sat on the Board of Trustees at the Godfrey Library Family History Center in Middletown; he also belonged to the Society of the Middletown First Settlers Descendants (1650-1700), and the Descendants of The Mayflower Society. He was affiliated with the Elks Club in Westbrook.
     Tom served in the U.S. Navy. He later became a scuba dive master and had certification as a master diver. He was a keen gardener, and was proud of the log home that he built as a family project in 1987.1,2

About
Jack is searching for information on Hannah Derby (Berg) Sackett. She was born 3 June 1816 in West Springfield, Mass, and died 18 April 1903 in New Haven, Connecticut. She was a remarkable woman who accompanied her husband Robert Wilson Hume to Bombay, India in 1839. After Robert's death in 1854, she took her seven children to New Haven. Somehow she put the five girls and two boys through college -two of the girls went to Mount Holyoke and the boys to Yale. She was very active in her church, United Church of New Haven County, and she was very active in the support of Congregational missionary efforts in this country and in India. Her two sons returned to India on mission work. Two of her daughters also became missionaries.
