A record of John Sackett in the Surman Index of Congregational ministers reads, "Presbyterian heretofore but now comformable. Mungeham Magna, Kent."

John was named as a beneficiary in his father's will made at Great MongehamG in 1664.4
He was left all his father's lands and tenements in St Peter and St John in Thanet, and was appointed executor of the will jointly with his brother Nathaniel.
