1683. Anson Sackett, 1785–1869, son of (711) Richard and Martha Benedict Sackett, was married at Poultney, Vt., the place of his birth, Jan. 31, 1810, to Docia Ruggles, daughter of Denison Ruggles, of Hampton, N. Y. He was by occupation a farmer, by religious faith an Episcopalian, and in politics a Democrat. About the year 1812 he moved to Volney, Oswego Co., N. Y., and from there, in the winter of 1838, to Villenova, Chautauqua Co., N. Y., where he resided until his death in 1869. Jacob Kendal, an aged and respected citizen of Volney, writing in 1899, of by-gone days, says that Anson and Jonathan Sackett came there in 1812, bought a farm and worked it together for a time and then divided it: Anson taking the west part and building a house for which he, Jacob Kendal, working with his father's ox team in the woods, helped get out the timber, and adds: "The Sacketts as citizens were counted number one." He writes also that Anson was one of the officers of the Episcopal Church at Fulton, four and a half miles from his home.
