12720. William Sackett, 1800–1863, son of (714?) Aaron, was born near Rutland, Vt; was married, Sept. 3, 1828, to Mercy Sleade Earle, 1808–1867, a distant relative. In 1839 he removed to Rochester, N.Y., and the following year from thence to Eden Township, La Grange County, Ind, where he settled permanently, on what has since become known as the Sackett Homestead Farm.

William Sackett
Brother of Charles Sackett and son of Aaron Sackett and his wife, Phebe Hart Sackett. He was born at Litchfield, Connecticut on September 2, 1800. He was married September 3, 1828, to Mercy Sleade Earle, 1808–1867, a distant relative. In 1839, he removed to Rochester, N.Y. and the following year from thence to Eden Township, La Grange County, Indiana, where he settled permanently on what has since become known as the Sackett Homestead Farm. According to his grandson, Schuyler Sackett of Ligonier, Indiana, family lore has it that his wife was quite well-to-do whereas he inherited no money or property at all. He judges that this is true because of the fact that she left a quantity of excellent old furniture and so on which could only have been owned by someone who had means in those pioneer days. Apparently this led to some friction in the family. There was nothing overt but one day William, when he was in his forties, quietly walked out of the house and his family never saw him again. They did learn that he died at Logansport, Indiana in 1864.
