Simon Sackett, son of Simon Sackett the colonist and Isabel Pearce, was born, presumably in Thanet, Kent, in about 1630.1,2 He died in Springfield, Massachusetts, on 9 July 1659.1,3 He married in Springfield in about 1652, Sarah Bloomfield, daughter of William Bloomfield and Sarah ___.1,4 Sarah, Simon's wife, was born in England. In about 1633.1 After Simon's death, she married second Lambert(?) Woodward
Simon Sackett was, according to Weygant, taken to New England by his parents when he was a babe in arms. It is to be assumed that he was born in his father's native Thanet, in Kent, England, although a record of his birth or baptism has not been found. The failure to find such a record may indicate that his parents had disaffiliated from the mainstream Church of England and that this was a factor in the family's decision to emigrate to the New World. However, no corroborative evidence has been found for Simon the colonist's religious beliefs and such a theory can only be guesswork.
Simon junior was only five years old when his father, the colonist, died in 1635. The following year, the six-year-old made the epic overland trek from Newtown, Massachusetts, to Hartford, Connecticut, with his mother and younger brother John. The boys' mother Isabel married William Bloomfield in Hartford, and their stepfather's daughter Sarah, who thus became a companion during their childhood, was eventually (in 1652) to become Simon's wife.
The only "official" record of Simon in Hartford was that of a hearing of the Particular Court on 7 September 1652 when he was fined forty shillings (two pounds) for "keeping company" and "drinking excessively and unseasonably". He pledged his heifer as security for the fine. Simon would have left Hartford for Springfield (where he and Sarah were married) very soon after this incident, raising the question of whether this may have been a farewell party or, worse, the cause of his moving.
Simon acquired lands in Springfield, by grant and by purchase, in 1653. His brother John also moved to Springfield and became a landowner there in 1653. The brothers swore the Oath of Fidelity at Springfield in 1656. Simon died at the age of only 29 in 1659, leaving a son Joseph, then aged three years. It is believed that an older son, Samuel, died in infancy.
Administration of Simon's estate was granted on 14 July 1659 by the General Court in Springfield to his widow Sarah & her father William Bloomfield.8 An inventory of his estate was taken on 15 July.
