Lydia Weller (1739-1828)

Royal Sacket, son of William Sacket and Lydia Weller, was born in Westfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts^G, on 12 June 1769^1,2,3 and baptized at the Church of Christ, Westfield^G, on 18 June 1769.⁴ He died aged 34 in Westfield^G on 5 May 1804.^1,5 He married at the First Church, Westfield^G, on 30 January 1794, Catherine Noble, daughter of Gad Noble.^1,6,7,8 Catherine married second at the First Church, Westfield^G, on 3 June 1806, Amos Bush.^9,10 Catherine was born in 1769. She died in 1818.
Royal was listed in the 1800 census as a householder in Westfield^G.¹¹
Royal was named in his father's will made in Westfield^G on 24 January 1797 and proved on 2 March 1802. He was to inherit an equal share of the estate with his five brothers after specific bequests of lands to their two sisters. In a codicil to the will, in June 1799, Royal's share was reallocated in equal shares to his children, perhaps indicating that Royal had been taken ill by that date.¹²
