John Sackett

John Sackett was born in the early 1600s. He died shortly before the birth of his son Henry and was buried at St John in Thanet, Kent^G, on 2 May 1643.¹ He married before 1643, Elizabeth ___. Elizabeth was buried at St John in Thanet^G on 27 October 1653.²
     It has not yet proved possible to identify this John Sackett beyond the data found in his burial record and in the baptism record of his son Henry. Of the possible candidates for identification with this John, John Sackett born in 1586, the son Thomas Sackett and Martha Strowde, and John Sackett born in 1594, the son of George Sackett and Katherine Tompson, are dismissed as being too old. Although there is a better age match, he was also not the same man as John Sackett baptized in February 1607/08, the son of William Sackett and Joan Parker, as that John Sackett is shown to have been still living at the date of his brother Robert's will in 1658.
