I am looking for any and all information on SACKETT, Curran and d'Amboise.
Simon Sackett, John Sackett and family came on the Ship Lyon to America February of 1631.
I am also looking for information on Shaw and Gilliam that came to Oregon via The Oregon Trail in 1844.
I am also looking for information on Haley, Eli, Davis, Curran, d'Amboise, Zuber, Bergeron and Booth.
Come and take a look at my family and see if you fit in some where!
Sackett Family Motto. -- "Aut nunquam tentes, aut perfice",
