Sackett, of Cleveland, O., to whom it was recently presented by a kinsman whom he visited at Poultney, VT.  This Richard Sackett is not shown by public records to have been especially active in public affairs.  On the death of his father, in 1771, he came into possession of several pieces of real estate at New Milford, including the homestead farm.  In 1775 he disposed of the last piece of real estate at New Milford, and became a permanent resident of Arlington, VT., where he was an active member of a military company commanded by Capt. Ebenezer Wallace, in the ranks of which he participated in one or more campaigns during the war of the Revolution.  He died at Arlington in the spring of 1789, survived by his wife Martha, three sons and a daughter.  On June 24, following, Mrs. Sackett gave birth to a second daughter.

Thomas Benedict (or Bennydick), the colonist ancestor of Martha Benedict Sackett, was a native of Notinghamshire, Eng-

land, and came to Massachusetts Bay in 1638, and there married Mary Bridgman.  They lived for several years at Southold, and in 1662 resided at Jamaica, L.I.  Still later they were at Norwalk, Conn., where Mr. Benedict was made a deacon if the church.

John Benedict, one of the nine children of Thomas and Mary Bridgman Benedict, was born at Southold, L.I., and removed with his parents to Norwalk, Conn., where on Nov. 11, 1670, he was married to Phebe Gregory.  He was there sworn a freeman in 1680, succeeded his father as deacon, and from 1689 to 1699 held the office of selectman.

Joseph Benedict, one of the seven children of John and Phebe Gregory Benedict, was born at Norwalk, Conn., where he was married to his first wife Anne, previous to whose death, in 1716, they removed to Ridgefield, Conn.  There on Mar. 21, 1720, he was married to his second wife, Mary.

Jonathan Benedict, 1723-1800, son of Joseph Benedict and his wife Mary, was married to Lucy Castle, who was the mother of his ten oldest children, and who died at North Milford, VT.  Mr. Benedict shortly after the death of his wife Lucy, moved to Manchester and was there married to widow Margary Seelye (Pinnock).

Martha Benedict, 1756-1812, eldest daughter of Jonathan and Lucy Castle Benedict, some two years after the death of her husband, Richard Sackett, in 1789, was married to Jason Kellogg.
