John Sackett, son of John Sackett and Mary ___, was baptized at St Peter's Church, Thanet, Kent, on 16 March 1627/28.1 He died aged 50 and was buried at St Lawrence Church, Thanet, on 28 July 1678.2 He married at St Lawrence Church, Thanet, on 5 December 1664, Judeth Evers.3
John made his will on 1 April 1678 St Lawrence, Kent,, naming as beneficiaries his wife Judeth; his brother Thomas; and his sisters Anne Sackett, Martha Sackett, Katherine Mumery and Joane Overy.4
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 1678.4
