Six Generation Cyrus Sackett
Cyrus Sackett fourth son of Reuben and Mercy (Finney) Sackett, was born at
East Greenwich, Connecticut, January 5, 1764.
Cyrus Sackett, was born in Connecticut about the year 1763. He enteredtheRevolutionary War at about the age of 18 years. He was released onfurlough
subject to being recalled if needed. On returning home on foot he was take
up on Suspicion of being a deserter, but was soon released and he returned
home unmolested.
He remained in Connecticut with his father until he attained majority,when
he set out to try his fortune in the Wilderness of the great southwest,
halting for a time in the "Redstone" region. He reached at last what wasto
be for a time his home, Kentucky. This country was then in a greatly
troubled and unsettled condition through Indian Wars. Indeed, so numerous
and bloody had been their attacks and slaughter of white settlers that it
had become known as "the Dark and Bloody Grounds." Mr. Sackett was living
with Col. Smith, the famous Indian fighter, when St. Clair began raisinghis
army of 2,000 men to attack the Indians of the Northwest.
He joined the expedition, which set out from Fort Washington, now
Cincinnati, and which pushed it's way with great difficulty to the head
waters of the Wabash. The trials of their wilderness march were too great
for many of the Kentucky Militia, and like with Gideon's Band many turned
back, so that when they reached a point where old Fort Recovery was
afterward established by victorious Wayne, but fourteen hundred remained
with St. Clair. Among these Mr. Sackett remained faithful.
Here, however, they suffered an inglorious defeat, being attacked suddenly
by Little Turtle and his warriors in the early morning of November 4th,
1791. The army was thrown into such a confused stated by the sudden attack
of the Indians with their hideous war hoops, that although the American
officers bravely endeavored for about three hours to repulse them, thearmy
became disordered, suffered great loss and fled in confusion. Mr. Sackett
ran for a distance of nine miles expecting all the time to fall into the
hands of the merciless red men. He halted once into an open glade andseeing
his pursuers were gaining on them and greatly fatigued, he took his knife
out from his belt and cut his blanket loose from his body, leaving it with
all the food he had left, a hard dry cake and ran with renewed vigor until
out of reach of the savages. He, with his weary companions reached Fort
Jefferson about dark on that fatal day. He returned with the rest of the
disappointed army to Fort Washington from whenca they had set out, and
thenca back to Kentucky.
Here about the year of 1792, he was married to Miss Nancy Stapleton, unto
them were born eight children.
The subject of our sketch moved from Kentucky to Ohio in October 1799, and
settled on the land owned by Alexander Sackett and Benjamin Vaughan. Hewas
among the first settlers of this region of the county (Greene CountyOhio,)
The only home then built, where Bell Brook now stands, was an old frontier
tavern.
He bought 160 acres of land at $2.00 per acre; it being all timber land he
cleared off a space near a spring, large enough to put up a tent, thesides
of which were covered with bed clothing, while the wagon cover served as a
roof. Here they managed to live and "keep the wolf"(real living wolves)from
entering their door, until he could build a log cabin.
He paid for his farm chiefly by raising hogs and raising and driving themto
Cincinnati market. There being no mills nearer than that place, he
frequently went there on horse back, sometimes taking two horses when
needing both flour and corn meal.
The old deed which Mr. Sackett received for his land, was given by Thomas
Jefferson, March 6, 1806, and contains his signature as President of the
United States and together with that of
James Madison as Secretary of State, both in their own handwriting. Italso
bears the seal of the United States and is plainly written on a very fine
skin, supposed to be groundhog skin. The rare parchment in now in thehands
of Alexander Sackett, who still lives on the farm. It is treasured as acurios
and valuable heirloom.
Cyrus Sackett was an earnest and devoted Christian; he joined the Regular
(Old-Style) Baptists and afterwards went to what was known as Carmine's
Church, which stood on the site of the old burial ground one mile south of
Bell Brook. A few years before his death he became a member of what hasbeen
long known as Owen's Church, founded about 1835 - 1836. He remained amember
of this Church until his death, which occurred 13, October 1846, at theage
of 83 years. Nancy, his wife departed this life September 18 1855, aged 88
years, 6 months, and 12 days. They were both laid to rest in the Carmine
burying grounds above mentioned.

Sackett Farm, in one name, from 1799 To 1899.
The following is taken from the "Bell Brook Moon:" "One hundred years ago
Cyrus Sackett, accompanied by his wife and three children, came toKentucky
and settled on what has been known in later years as the Alexander Sackett
farm. Mr. Sackett bought this farm of one hundred and fifty acres at two
dollars per acre. They arrived there on October 17, at three o'clock inthe
afternoon. The land was then covered with dense forests. He, however,
cleared a small spaca, where they pitched their tents made of bed clothes,
in which they managed to live for some time. Mr. Sackett then built a log
cabin, which was called a round-log cabin, in which they lived for several
years. He then built a large hewed-log house, which was at that time
considered very fine. Here Mr. Sackett and wife spent the remainder oftheir
lives. After their death the farm was divided into two parts and sold.
Alexander Sackett bought the eastern part containing eighty acres, and
Preston Poague (Pogue) bought the remainder of the farm, which is nowowned
by the heirs of the late Benjamin Vaughan. Alexander Sackett held thisfarm
in his possession until his death, which occurred April 10, 1893. The farm
was then purchased jointly by Phineas Wilson and Emily Sackett,
grandchildren of Cyrus Sackett. The farm remained in their possessionuntil
the end of the year 1899, when they sold it to Jacob Carey. Thus it passed
out of the Sackett name after being in their possession one hundred years,
two months and eighteen days. This is a very rare occurrence."
In the old Baptist graveyard about one mile south of the village of Bell
Brook lies all that is mortal of Cyrus Sackett, Sr. Many more of historic
worth also are buried there; among the number are Rev. Josiah Carman. The
veteran pioneer Baptist preacher, Captain Ammi Maltbie, who made a namefor
himself in the war of 1812, Andrew Byrd, Sr., and others. Mr. CyrusSackett,
Sr., died at his home July 13, 1846, aged eighty-three years, leaving his
wife, Nancy, and the following
children: sons, Alexander, Joseph, Samuel and Cyrus Sackett, Jr.;daughters
Sarah Hand, Mrs. Anna Goblet and Mrs. Poague (Pogue).
Cyrus Sackett was in this battle.

The St. Clair Massacre
Major General Arthur St. Clair, Governor of the Territory Northwest of the
Ohio River, was immediately summoned to Philadelphia by President
Washington, and ordered to proceed in person to destroy the Indians.
General Charles Scoff, with 800 Kentucky cavalrymen, was sent up theWabash
as a decoy, to raid Ouiatenon, near the present-day location of Lafayette.
This town, and several others, were destroyed by the troops of Gen. Scott,
Gen. James Wilkinson and Col. John Hardin, and many Indians were killed.It
was obvious, from the papers taken, that many of the inhabitants were
French-Indian, in close touch with the British at Detroit.
Gen. St. Clair, back at Fort Washington, near present day Cincinnati,
readied his forces to proceed to the confluence of the St. Marys and St.
Josephs Rivers, and build a strong fort there.
President Washington was highly desirous of "decisive measures." He got
them, but not exactly as he wished. After many delays, the troops got
underway on Sept. 17, 1791. They built Forts Hamilton and Jefferson asthey
proceeded north, stopping on the banks of a tributary of the Wabash River
near the present-day town of Fort Recovery; the night was Nov. 3, 1791.
About 1,400 soldiers, both regulars and militia, and 86 officers remained.
The weather was bitterly cold, Gen. St. Clair was ill with gout, and
estranged from his second in command, Gen. Richard Butler, who had wishedto
advance with a detachment of 1,000 men, and build a fort at the confluence
of the St. Marys and St. Josephs Rivers.
Meanwhile, the Indians, under Little Turtle, who had massacred LaBiame in
1780 and defeated General Josiah Harmar in 1790, were assembling. Rex M.
Potterf, former Allen County Fort Wayne librarian, in addressing the
dedication of Little Turtle Memorial Park in Fort Wayne June 12, 1960,wrote
the following:
"Little Turtle, in the two previous successes, had based his strategy on
ambush and surprise. He now sought to defeat St. Clair's forces similarly.
. Little Turtle, through his scouts, was aware of the fact that St. Clair
lacked scouts, and hence that he had no sources of information about the
activities of the Indians.
"With rather great confidence in the outcome, Little Turtle approached his
problem. He first assembled the Indians, who had come from different
quarters, on a plateau long the St. Marys River some ten miles southeastof
present-day Fort Wayne. He divided his men into several different groups,or
messes. He designated about
one-fourth of these messes to hunt for game or vegetables; they were to
assemble the food in the late afternoon, when the Indians were to be fed
these provisions. He thus employed a very practical method of living offthe
country."
In the 1930's, the WPA (Works Progress Administration) had a valuable
historical survey in Indiana, which located and marked many historical
spots. While the metal signs had all corroded by the early 1960's, the
locations and messages were preserved in Quinn's "Short, Short Story of
Adams County." An article clipped from a news-
paper of the late 1930' records the following description of the same
event:
"A legendary tradition, known only to a few and handed down through three
generations, has become a matter of permanent record through the effortsof
French Quinn, local historian. Brought down by word of mouth, the legend
directly related to him by his grandmother, Letitia Long, one of Adams
County's early pioneers, has been placed in the permanent records of the
WPA's historical survey. The story tells of the largest single encampmentof
Indians ever to gather in one location which set up camp Just north of the
Adams County line in Marion Township Allen county.
"Little Turtle as commanding chief with his alliance of Miamis, Shawnoes,
Wyandottes, Kickapoos, Pottawatomies, Ottawas, Chippewas, and otherkindred
tribes after leaving only enough men to guard the camp, started that
memorable trip down the St. Marys through what is now Decatur. It was inthe
year 1791 that the band of redskins swooped down on Gen. St. Clair's army.
"The wily judgment in selecting the camp and route down the St. Marys is
credited to Chief Little Turtle, because of the natural drainage of theland
and the centrally located position it afforded. The words of variouspeople,
who have taken from the territory many Indian relics and other evidence of
their camping and the move down the St. Marys corroborated the statementsof
Mr. Quinn ..."
Actually, before the night of Nov. 3, 1791 Captain Slough had led a night
scouting expedition that reported Indians in large numbers nearby.
Unfortunately, Gen. Butler, to whom Capt. Slough reported, did not tellGen.
St. Clair of the report.
The army rose before dawn, and prepared to march toward the confluence of
the rivers to build their fort. Before it was light, the Indians with
bloodcurdling yells, commenced a fierce attack from all sides
simultaneously. For three hours they attacked, hidden by shrubbery andtheir
own smoking rifles.
Major Denny wrote: ''The ground was literally covered with the dead. The
wounded were taken to the canter, where a good many who had quit theirposts
unhurt were crowded together. It appeared as if the officers had been
singled out; a very great proportion fell. The men being thus left withfew
officers, became fearful, despaired of success, gave up the fight, and, to
save themselves for the moment, abandoned entirely their ground, andcrowded
in toward the center of the field, and no exertions could put them inorder
even for defense."
Simon Girty, the American renegade, had written to Col. Alexander McKee at
Detroit on Oct. 28, from Miami Town (Fort Wayne), that 1,040 Indians were
leaving that day to meet St. Clair. With Little Turtle were Blue Jacket,the
Shawnee; Buck-ong-a-helas, the Delaware chief, and Tecumseh heade; up the
scouts.
The Indians finally captured the artillery, and the army broke and ran in
headlong retreat back to Fort Jefferson.
The dead officially included 593 privates, 39 officers including Gen.
Richard Butler, one lieutenant colonel, and three majors. About 250 women
were with the army, 56 of whom were killed in battle, and most of the rest
on the way back. The first whites to return to the battle scene found the
corpses of many women pinned to the ground by large stakes driven through
their bodies.
Just 50 miles southeast of Adams County was fought this most bloody battle
of pioneer American history; the dead were not exceeded until nearlycentury
later when Custer's troops were slaughtered on the Little Big Horn.
Major Denny, whose journal covers this campaign as well as Gen. Harmads,
returned with the news to President Washington, who was reportedly soangry
that he threw his powdered wig to the floor with an oath, exposing his red
hair.

BURGHLEY, pronounced BUR lee, LORD (1520-1598), also spelled Burleigh, was an English statesman. Burghley directed England's foreign and domestic affairs during the reign of Elizabeth I, often called England's Golden Age.
Burghley served King Edward VI as secretary of state from 1550 to 1553. When Elizabeth became queen in 1558, she made Burghley her chief adviser. "No Prince in Europe hath such a councillor as I have in him," she said. Together, Elizabeth and Burghley ruled England for 40 years (see ENGLAND [The Reign of Elizabeth I]).
Burghley was born William Cecil in Bourne, near Grantham, England, and attended Cambridge University. His son Thomas became Earl of Exeter, and his son Robert became Earl of Salisbury.
