John Sackett, of St Lawrence in Thanet, Kent, son of John Sackett and Mary ___, was baptized at St Peter in ThanetG on 16 March 1627/28.1 He died aged 50 and was buried at St Lawrence in ThanetG on 28 July 1678.2 He married at St Lawrence in ThanetG on 5 December 1664, Judith Aeirs.3 After John's death, Judith married at St Lawrence in ThanetG on 17 July 1679, John Maxted.4
     John made his will in St Lawrence in ThanetG on 1 April 1678, naming as beneficiaries his wife Judith, his brothers Thomas, his sisters Anne, Martha, Katherine and Joane.5 He left each of his sisters and brother the small sum of one shilling, with the residue of his goods and chattels going to his wife. There is no mention of a tenement or lands and it would appear that John was not a man of any significant wealth.
     John's will links as siblings six of the eight children baptized at St Peter's between November 1622 and June 1642 attributed to parents John Sackett of Buddles and Mary/Margary. The two missing from the list in the will are Sarah and Elizabeth. Elizabeth is known to have died in childhood and it may be assumed that Sarah had also died before 1678. The match between the will and the baptisms is strong evidence that the John Sackett of the will was the same man as the John Sackett baptized in March 1627/28. The will was proved on 3 August 1678.5
