The Sacketts of America

By Charles H. Weygant
1907

Introductory Notes:
Please Read

Other than the first few pages (Introdutory 1-11 and First Generations 12-19) I have divided the book into 10 page segments with each segment linked to the previous and the next page of the book.

I have run across errors in some of the text and numbering. I have shown those I have noted with my corrections and comments enclosed in square brackets [thus]. The copy of the book I have has some handwritten comments and notes in it and I have indicated those enclosed in [brackets].

Weygant used CAPS and SMALL CAPS for the parents and ancestors. He also used them for individuals in the different family groups who had further information in subsequent pages. However, he was not totally consistent in this; i.e., some whose names were in SMALL CAPS had no further inormation and some who were not so indicated had more information in the next generation. In the pages I transcribed I have not used the CAPS and SMALL CAPS. Instead I and have put the names in Bold print and relied upon the color of the links to indicate when there is more information on an individual. Most of the pages from the near the middle of the book were sent to me by another researcher and they have the CAPS. I did not change these, although I did put them in BOLD print to be consistent with my use of bold in the first part of the book.

I have attempted to make it easier to trace three different descendant lines found in the book. To do this I have introduced some color coding:

1. The descendants of John the Colonist.
2. The descendants of Simon, Jr. (son of Simon the Colonist)
3. The descendants of John, of Westfield, (son of Simon the Colonist)

As with the proof reading, I will welcome any corrections to the individuals I have identified with the different lines.

This transcription of Weygant's book is presently in "Beta" form. By this I mean to say that it still needs to be subjected to some proof reading to assure that it is an accurate presentation of the book. With this in mind I encourage anyone with a copy of the book to assist me by downloading some (or all) of these pages and check them over for errors and send corrections to me.

While I have had suggestions that I eliminate the page numbers and divide the material into generations; I have retained the page numbers and page divisions (even the divided words which result from the page divisions). I did this for researchers who might want to use the page references in source notes.
