267. Richard Sackett, 1701–1771, eldest son of (75) Capt. Richard and Margery L. Sleade Sackett, was married to Mary ___. Immediately after the death of his father, in 1746, he purchased an improved farm at New Milford, Conn., and removed with his family from Dover, Dutchess County, N. Y., to this farm, which became henceforth his permanent place of abode. It is recorded in Dutchess County records that he refused to qualify as one of the executors of his father's estate, not caring to become involved in several suits at law then pending relative to title to certain extensive tracts of land, covered by his father's will. Not much has been learned of the life of Mr. Sackett at New Milford beyond the fact that he was a well-to-do farmer. He seems to have left a will that was not recorded, but several documents are extant, including an inventory of personal property and a memorandum, evidently prepared for the person who was to draw his will, and which undoubtedly cover the bulk of its contents. From these we learn that among his possessions, in addition to several pieces of real estate which he directed divided between his wife Mary and his children Richard Sackett, Jr: Margery, wife of David Green, and Mary, wife of Israel Camfield, there was a "Great" Bible, a sword and belt, a gun, a service book, household goods, farming utensils, and some tools for coopering. Also that said will was dated Jan. 1, 1771, and proven April 2, 1771, and that the larger share of said estate went to his son Richard.

Notes & Citations
- Birth date estimated based on John being the younger son but assumed included in 1703 census.
- Charles Weygant, The Sacketts of America, "268. John Sackett."
- The wife of John Sackett MD has not yet been identified. It has been suggested that she may have been Elisabeth Masten. This was based on records of baptisms in the Dutch Reformed Church, Kingston, Ulster County, NY of Ritsert Sekket on 5 May 1734 and Ezechiel Sekket on 19 Jun 1737, sons of Jan Sekket and Elisabeth Masten.
John Sackett MD is stated by Weygant to have had ten children, among whom were sons Richard born in Jun 1751, and Ezekial for whom he does not record a birth date. A birth date of 1737 for Ezekial would have made him 22 at marriage to Mary Atherton, recorded by Weygant to have taken place in 1759. The discrepancy in Richard's birth/baptism dates would have to be explained by there having been two Richards, the first dying in infancy or childhood before 1751.
There is no other evidence to support a theory that John Sackett and Jan Sekket were the same, nor is there any explanation why John Sackett who, according to Weygant, was living in Dover, Dutchess County, would have had his children baptized in Kingston in the neighboring county of Ulster.

Hannah Sackett
| Father | John Sackett (1699-1780) |
| Mother | Hannah Smith (c 1701-1776) |
Hannah Sackett, daughter of John Sackett and Hannah Smith, was born in New Haven, ConnecticutG, about 1725.1 She was baptized as an adult at the First Congregational Society, New HavenG, on 30 August 1761.2,3 She died aged 79 in New HavenG on 14 March 1804.2,4
Weygant, The Sacketts of America, states that Hannah married Benjamin Richmond. That marriage is recorded to have taken place at the First Congregational Church, Killingworth, ConnecticutG, on 17 September 1747, followed by Hannah's admission to that church a few weeks later on 11 October. But attributing the marriage to this Hannah conflicts with the records for an adult baptism in 1761 and a death in 1804 in New Haven, both in the name Sackett, not Richmond. Another candidate for the marriage record (or for the other records) has not been found.1,5,6
