• Notes

  The name it is claimed by some genealogists, was originally spelled Brockett. The family came from Wales to England and Scotland. English history tells of a "William Brockett, an enlightened instructor at Cambridge College who received the honors of Knighthood." With Governor John Winthrop there sailed from Yarmouth, England, about nine hundred persons, most of whom came from the old city of Boston, England. Many of them were high-born, graduates of Oxford and Cambridge colleges. Among them were four brothers by the name of Brackett, Richard Brackett, who settled in Braintree, Massachusetts, now Quincy; Peter Brackett, who settled in Connecticut; William and Anthony Brackett, who went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with Captain John Mason, in 1631. Ebenezer Brackett, whose remains lie buried in the old Quincy burying ground near Boston, Massachusetts, came to this country prior to 1630, and from him are descended all the New England branches of this ancient family bearing the name of Brackett. On his tombstone appears the following inscription:-- "Ebenezer|Brackett. Nathaniel| He held many offices of church and State." (Taken from "Brackett" Genealogy at Lenox Library.) TGMB says parents were Peter and Rachel Brackett.
