Hi John:

Thanks for posting this list of children that you know to be of the marriage
of Josiah and Mary (Booth) Hackett, particularly the daughters and their
spouses. Do you know if sons, Charles and David died young? Those two do not
show up in Oxford censuses with the other sons. Also, have you ever seen a
son, Seth, listed anywhere other than in my recent research report on this
family? My report suggests that he was a son of Josiah, likely named for his
uncle, Seth Booth, brother of Mary Booth. Finally, from your research or
that of your informers of this family summary, do you have any source
citations for this information? What you have provided is an excellent
starting point for finding proof, but it would save me a lot of effort if
you can provide sources.

By separate email I'm sending you a copy of my recent, brief study of the
Joseph Hackett-Josiah Hackett line.

Thanks again:

Mac
