     In 1860 he was living at Roscoe, Goodhue County, MinnesotaG, and was recorded as Alden Sackett, a farmer, aged 33, and born in New York. Living with him were his children, George, 11, and Sarah, aged eight.9

     Orlin made his will at Winnebago, Faribault County, MinnesotaG, on 4 August 1905. He left shares in his land to his children, Edward, Mina, Ella, and Emma, and cancelled a debt owing by his son Elton. Edward was to inherit 30 acres of land in Martin County, and the remainder of his land, comprising 80 acres, was to go to his daughters, Mina, Ella, and Emma. Orlin did not name in the will his eldest son George, of his first marriage, although his name was added as one of the heirs when the executors applied for probate. It may be that George had received the equivalent of his inheritance earlier, although his not being named at all may otherwise indicate that he was deliberately disinherited.13
