This Tract by Ensigns Survey began at the NW Corner at the West 4 corners, thence South to the SW Six Corners, thence East to the South 4 Corners, thence North to the Center of the Township, then West on the Center Line to the place of beginning containing about 965 acres. [2:17]

It is believed the next settler on Tract 10 was Clark Sackett, in 1814. Clark Sackett was the 6th child and 4th son of Benj. and Betsey (Eldred) Sackett, and was born in Warren, Litchfield Co. Conn Feb. 4th, 1793. His education obtained in the Common Schools of his native town. He remained at home on his father's farm until he was 21 years of age. After War was declared in June 1812 against Great Britain, the legislature passed an act to raise two full regiments to be denominated "States Guard". …
     Mr. Sackett, being an able bodied man, and subject to military duty, he enlisted into this corps of troops and went to New London. In the spring or early summer of 1814, he left his native place for Ohio. His eldest sister was married to David Hine and resided in Canfield, and his uncle Salmon Sackett and his family had previously settled in Tallmadge. He came to Tallmadge and found employment and becoming acquainted with the people and thinking it a desirable place to make a permanent home, he bought of Esq. Wright off the south side of Lot No. 6 100 acres extending from the south west six corners east to the west Starr or proprietors line. Mr. David Preston Jr. had girdled the timber on a few acres on the west end of the lot in the spring 1813 with the intention of making his home there but he gave it up. Esq. Wright sold the land to Mr. Sackett, he cleared some 20 acres at intervals while he was at work by the month for others. He was married to Miss Cynthia, daughter of David and Cynthia S. Preston, May 2nd, 1816, by Rev. Simeon Woodruff. And on the 4th day June 1816 she died of typhus fever, aged 19 years and 34 days after her marriage. Her death cast a gloom over the community, being one of the singers in the congregation, amiable and the life of the circle in which she moved. Having but a few days previous, stood at the Hymeneal Altar, and soon taken down with the fatal disease, she passed from earth universally respected and lamented by a large circle of friends. … Mr. Sackett, after the death of his wife, returned to Conn where he remained until early summer of 1818. He left his native place and returned to Ohio and began working on his farm. He was married the 2nd to Miss Laura Melissa Aikins, Nov. 25th, 1821 by Rev. Simeon Woodruff. [2:40–41]

FROM THE CONNECTICUT EVANGELICAL MAGAZINE
The writer about 1844 heard Mr. Hanford in the Cong. Meeting House remark that the first sermon he preached in Tallmadge was at the funeral of a young bride. This was Mrs. Cynthia Preston, the wife of Mr. Clark Sackett. They were married May 2nd 1816 by Rev. Simeon Woodruff and she died June 4th 1816, aged 19 years. [9:22–23]

—Charles Cook Bronson, History of Tallmadge and the Western Reserve 1804–1886

Clark Sackett, father of Clark A., was born at Warren, Connecticut, in 1793. He was still a young man when he joined a colony of pioneer settlers who came with their possessions to make early settlement and secure homes in Summit County, driving their ox-teams through forests where they had to cut a path. They purchased lands of the great Connecticut Land Company, which, at that time, had control of the lands of a large part of the Western Reserve. Clark Sackett was a true pioneer, accepting all the hardships incident to establishing himself in a new country, and through his industry and sterling virtues, becoming a man of substance and prominence. He lived to advanced age. He first secured 100 acres of land in Tallmadge Township, to which he later added seventy-five acres, lying just west of his first purchase. He put up a log house which stood for a number of years, but was later replaced by the substantial residence which is occupied by his son, Clark A. A portion of the old house Mr. Sackett utilized to house his bees, as he took a great deal of interest in the bee industry for many years. He cleared all his land, and also assisted greatly in promoting the civilizing agencies of this section.
     In 1816 Clark Sackett was married (first) to Cynthia Preston. He was married (second) to Laura Aiken, and (third) to Jane Pierce. The mother of Clark A. Sackett, Laura Aiken, was born in 1800, at Norwalk, Connecticut, and was married in the fall of 1822. She was six years old when her father, Asher Aiken, removed to Vernon, Ohio. There were the following children born to Clark and Laura Sackett: Hiram, who died in Tallmadge Township, married (first) Eliza Treat, and (second) Mabel Fenn; Cynthia, who married Luther Heath, is survived by children residing at Genesee, New York, and also a son, Theodore, residing at Cuyahoga Falls; Edwin, residing at Genesee, New York, married Susan Pierce; Amelia, deceased, who married the late Dr. George Chapman, of New York; Benjamin, who died in infancy; Benjamin (2), who died in infancy; Clark A., residing in Tallmadge Township; Charles, who married Flora Treat, and Darius.
