Charlotte Sackett Orleans Co., NY > Kent Co., MI
I've recently found a new clue about Charlotte Sackett, b. abt. 1834 Carlton, Orleans Co., NY, dau. of Joseph and Lucy (Rice)(Allen) Sackett.
On the 1850 census (see below) she was living with her older sister, Emily Sackett, and Emily's husband, George Lyman in Plainfield Twp., next door to her older 1/2 sister, Lucretia Allen, and her husband, Erastus Knickerbocker, and family.Her mother, Lucy (Rice) (Allen) Sackett was living with another older 1/2 sister, Lucy Allen, and her husband, Edward Firster in Plainfield Twp., Kent Co., MI.
The new item is a deed that I believe is this Charlotte Sackett.I have never found a marriage record for her to a Hays, so with just the census to go on, I didn't know the given name of her Hays husband, but if this deed is her, his name is Edward Hays.They would have married between 1850 (the census), and 1852 (the deed).She was listed as Charlotte Hays on the 1860 census.
Deed
Hays, Edward & Charlotte (wife), Vergennes, Grantor
Curtis, Susannah, Campbell Twp., Ionia Co., Grantee
convey land in Sec. 29, 40 acres, Vergennes Twp., Kent Co., MI
22 Nov., 1852, Liber V, pg. 442.
On the 1860 census, Charlotte Sackett is listed in Plainfield Twp. with her older 1/2 sister, Lucy (Allen) Firster, and family, and living with them is her mother, Lucy (Rice) (Allen) Sackett.
Is there an index to the 1870 census for Kent Co?I can't find them on the Library of Michigan 1870 on-line site.
In 1878, in Courtland Twp., Charlotte marries, John Haggerty, and falls off the face of the earth.I've never found anything additional.
Is anyone researching Hays in Kent Co., or can think of any other angles to follow?
Thanks,
