His daughters Carolyn Shackelton, Charlene (Gary) Bedell, Sharon (James) Chapman, and Mary Scott; two stepchildren, Raymond and Jackie, and 16 grandchildren, Carrie, Kathy, Bruce, Michelle, Jaime, Jackie, Dale, Lisa, Brad, Tanya, Kristi, Danielle, Amanda, Ryan, Charlie Jr., and Christy as well as many nieces, nephews, and great-grandchildren.
     Chuck worked for many years as a master carpenter of which he was proud.
     Chuck had many hobbies including golf, cards, hunting, horse-racing, cooking, baking, bird watching and his dogs. He lived life to the fullest.
     May God watch over us and give us peace. May the Angels guide him to his new home.
     Thank you to all his friends and family that made his life complete.

Elizabeth "Betsey" Sackett

Birth21 February 1793, MassachusettsG,1,2
Death26 July 1868, Meadville, Crawford County, PennsylvaniaG
Marriage19 June 1817John Ellis3
Elizabeth "Betsey" Sackett was born in MassachusettsG on 21 February 1793.1,2 She died aged 75 in Meadville, Crawford County, PennsylvaniaG, on 26 July 1868 and was buried at Greendale Cemetery, MeadvilleG.4 Her parents have not been positively identified, but see below. She married on 19 June 1817, John Ellis, son of John Ellis.3 John Ellis Jr was born in MassachusettsG on 30 January 1796.1,2 He died aged 75 in PennsylvaniaG on 3 November 1871 and was buried at Greendale Cemetery, MeadvilleG.4
     In 1850 Elizabeth was living in MeadvilleG in the household of her husband John, 53, a farmer, and was recorded in the census as Elizabeth Ellis, aged 56 and born in Massachusetts. Living with them were their children, Shephard, 28, David, 22, and Wilson, 19, and Shephard's wife Frances, 23.5
     In 1860 she was living in MeadvilleG in the household of her husband John, 63, a farmer, and was recorded as Elisabeth Ellis, aged 66. Living with them were their son David, 29, and his wife Lucy, 22. A John Sacket, 16, also in the household, would appear to have been enumerated twice, also appearing in the household of his parents Rolin and Pamelia Sackett.6
Betsey's parents
     Betsey, listed as Elizabeth Ellis, was living in Meadville in 1850 and 1860 with her husband John. Sacketts also living in Meadville included Zavan Sacket Sr and his sons, Rolin, James, and Jabez, each with their families. These were all born in Massachusetts and had moved to Meadville by about 1820. John Ellis Jr was also in Meadville by 1820, as was his father John Ellis Sr. John Ellis Jr's 1820 household comprised one male 16-25, one female 16-25, one male under 10, and one female under ten. These would have been John and Betsey, their daughter Mary, and a son of whom we have no record.
     This circumstantial evidence suggests that Betsey may have been a daughter of Zavan Sacket, removing from Massachusetts to Meadville, Pennsylvania, with her father and/or one or more of her brothers sometime before 1820. (John and Betsey married in 1817, location not known, and had a daughter, Mary, in Meadville, in 1818).
     The 1860 census suggests a further link between the Ellis household and the household of Rolin Sacket. A John Sacket, aged 16, appears in both households. These entries would appear to refer to the same John F Sackett, enumerated twice. He would have been Rolin's son, and by the above hypothesis, Betsey's nephew.
     It may be further conjectured that Betsey was the same as either Emily Sacket or Ann Sacket, stated by Weygant to have been daughters of Zavan, but for whom no other records have been found.
