Sackett, Simon (otherwise written Saket), was one of the first company. His name appears on the Records before Aug. 1633, and for the last time 20 Aug. 1635. He res. on the northerly side of Winthrop Street, between Holyoke and Dunster streets. Administration on his estate was granted by the General Court 3 Nov. 1635 to his wid. ‘Isabell Sackett.’ She is named on the Records 8 Feb. 1635-6, after which the name disappears.

What is now called Winthrop Square was granted to him for a house lot; but, as he did not return, it was devoted for a Market Place, and has always remained public property.
