I'm researching some Sackett lines that run through Indiana. Yesterday I
found an entry for Lois A. Sackett (5/7/1890-1/31/1895) in the Jay County,
IN, cemetery records at
http://www.dollsdotcom.com/jaycounty/JaySearch.asp .
I checked the Sackett Family Association data and could not find this
individual.
Checking WorldConnect I found a couple of databases that had entries for
Lois A. Sackett (5/7/1890-1/13/1895). [I suspect that someone transposed the
31 and 13 in the death date.] Both databases indicate that the parents were
Franklin N. Sackett and Emma O. Wright. Per an obit at
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jstevens1&...,
Emma's father, Elisha Wright, was born 25 Dec 1831 in "Washington (now
Green's Fork,) Wayne County, Ind." and died 17 Apr 1894 in Portland, Jay
Co., IN.
This is from the 1880 census.

The next closest Frank Sacket/Sackett b. abt 1862 is 255 miles away in
Tallmadge, Ohio.
Based on this circumstantial evidence, Franklin N. and Franklin M. Sackett
are the same individual.
Can anyone shed further light on this couple? Do they appear together in a
later census?
