Clearing land, raising families, building a nationThe Beginning
In 1630, Simon Sackett, the first American Sackett, sailed to the Massachusetts Bay Colony aboard the ship Lyon, arriving in Boston around December 1, 1630.
As part of the Great Migration, Simon and his family were ordinary people with extraordinary determination — clearing land, raising families, and laying the foundation for a new nation. His descendants spread across New England, embodying the pioneer spirit that would define generations.

His quiet courage and cunning wit laid the groundwork for the nation we know today. Washington's actual letters to Nathaniel — preserved by the Library of Congress — are in the slides at left.

This poem was the first to establish the lore of Santa Claus that we love and cherish today.

Col. D.B. Sackett (1822–1885), a brave Union soldier in the Civil War, embodied courage and frontier spirit. His heroism inspired Louis L'Amour's iconic Sackett novels — later adapted into films featuring the very first cowboy roles for Sam Elliott and Tom Selleck.
His legacy lives on in the rugged, heroic Western archetype. That's him at far left in the famous Antietam photograph, standing with President Lincoln.
