Robert Sackett, yeoman of Herne, Kent, son of William Sackett and Joan Parker, was baptized at Ickham, KentG, on 17 June 1610.1 He died aged about 52 and was buried at HerneG on 13 August 1662.3 He married there on 15 June 1643, Mary (___) Woodward.2 She was probably the widow Sacket buried at HerneG on 12 November 1669.4
Robert was named as a beneficiary in his father's will made at Ash next SandwichG on 27 June 1639.5
He was left (with his brother Thomas) his father's dwelling house, malthouses and the residue of the estate after other specific bequests. He was also left a share in an annuity which was the subject of a law suit.
Robert made his will at Herne on 14 November 1658, naming as beneficiaries his wife Mary, his brothers Paul, Jeffery, Thomas, William and John, his nephews John Sackett and Thomas Sackett, and his niece Mary Sackett.6 From his will, it would appear that Robert and Mary were childless, although the bequest to his wife's granddaughter indicates that Mary had at least one child from her previous marriage.
