SACKMAN, SECKMAN, WRIGHT, FIKE, BABB, KENNEY, TAYLOR, BAKER, OWEN, FAIRCHILD, WOOD, PRICE, TYRE, BROWN, PRATHER:

William SACKMAN/SECKMAN/SECKMON, b. 8 Jan 1787 PA. We think his father must have died when he was very young. His mother then married a George FIKE and they had a son John FIKE ca 1792/95.

In the 1810 Census William was in Somerset Co. PA. By 1820 he was in Dearborn Co IN; then to Morgan Co IL before 1830; to Schuyler Co. IL about 1836, and to Harrison Co. MO about 1865. William's half-brother, John FIKE, went to Morgan Co IL about the same time period in which William went there.

William's first marriage was to Susannah WRIGHT. Susan may have been from Perry Co, OH -- at least that is where her parents were living when she died (ca 1816, prob in Dearborn Co. IN) and at least one (maybe more) of the children was sent to grandfather WRIGHT in Perry Co. OH.

Think William and Sarah had these children:
Catherine, m. _____ BABB.
Elizabeth m. _____ KENNY.
Susan
James W., b. 1812 PA, m. Matilda _____, lived Hancock Co. IL.
Jonathon W., b. 1814, VA, m. Nancy TAYLOR, lived Brown Co. IL.
William W. b. 1816 VA, m. Elizabeth BAKER Matlock, lived Hancock Co. IL.

Then William SACKMAN married Mary "Polly" Owen (b. 1798 MD) and they had children:
John Wesley, b. 1823 Rush Co. IN, m. Sally FAIRCHILD, lived Schuyler Co. IL.
Sarah, b. 1828 IN, m. Nathan WOOD, lived in Schuyler Co. IL.
Leonard Owen, b. 1830 IL, m.1 Sarah PRICE, m2. Malinda TYRE, lived in Schuyler Co. IL.
George W., b. 1832 IL, m. Nancy TYRE.
Mary, b. 1834 IL, 1m. Isaac FAIRCHILD, 2m. James T. BROWN, lived Harrison Co. MO.
Matilda, b. 1838 near Beardstown IL, m. Riley PRATHER, lived Harrison Co. MO.

Mary, his second wife, died after the 1860 census and in 1864 he married Caroline Elizabeth TACKETT Prather, the widow of Darius PRATHER (Darius was father of Riley PRATHER who had previously married William's daughter, Matilda.) William & Caroline SACKMAN moved to Harrison Co. MO, along with the families of his daughters, Mary & J.T. BROWN, Matilda & Riley PRATHER, and several of Riley's siblings.
