     This Elizabeth Sackett is identified with parents Stephen Sacket and Hannah Bancroft on the assumption that she would have been the grandchild Elizabeth Sacket named in the will of Stephen's father Stephen Sacket Sr. Elizabeth's death record does not state her father's first name and gives her mother's name as Elizabeth, not Hannah.
