Jonathan Sacket

(say 1770-)
Jonathan Sacket, of Milford, New Haven County, Connecticut, was born probably in ConnecticutG in say 1770. He married in MilfordG on 25 June 1802, Lucinda Plumb, daughter of John Still Plumb and Elizabeth ___.1 Lucinda was born in MilfordG on 22 July 17852,3 and died aged 58 in Fair Haven, New HavenG, on 4 December 1843.4
     In 1790 Jonathan was living in Milford, New Haven County, ConnecticutG. He was living on his own.5
Who was Jonathan Sacket?
The parents of Jonathan Sacket who married Lucinda Plumb have not been identified, nor have birth or death records been found.
     Families of Early Milford, Connecticut6 states that he was the Jonathan Sackett who died in Milford in 1849. However, further research shows that that Jonathan Sackett moved to Milford from Newtown, Queens County, New York, sometime between 1810 and 1820, and therefore after the marriage in Milford of Jonathan and Lucinda and after the birth of their children.
     DNA test results of a known descendant of Gad/James Sackett (See New Haven DNA chart 2), now identified as a son of Jonathan, indicate that Jonathan and Gad/James were descendants in the John Sackett of New Haven line. This suggests that Jonathan was probably born locally.
     A current hypothesis is that Jonathan may have been the unnamed illegitimate child born in New Haven in 1766 to another Jonathan Sackett and Mary Ford.
     This older Jonathan, who died in New Haven in 1797, was a descendant in the New Haven line. He is recorded to have married (his wife’s name is not known) and to have had seven children from about 1767. His wife would not have been Mary Ford as she married a John Russell in 1771.
