Origion of the name "Brackett"
White Winter Premium Oak Brackett. This stuff elevates beer drinking to a new level. Brackett is a style of mead, which is an alcoholic drink made from honey,
water and yeast. Mead-making pre-dates beer and wine making, having origins dating back 8,000 years. Brackett originates from
ancient Scandinavia and is made by adding malt to mead. It's a stout, full-bodied drink with a slightly thicker viscosity
and higher alcohol content than other fermented grain beverages. Legend has it that sweet mead promotes fertility. Ladies,
this mead's for you!
It is now quite certain that my ancestor is Anthony Brackett an early 1630's Maine settler possibly born in 1613 in Norfolk, England or
Scotland. He died 1696 in Sandy Beach (Rye), NH . Reccords from my cousin Warren
in Jan 06 confirm this . I am still looking for the exact link in the 1770 to 1800 generation. my confirmed ancestor
Jacob Brackett was born 8 nov 1800 Berwick,York, Maine There are several possibilities as to
which Brackett was his father.
Any help would be helpfull.

At a general meeting of the Burgesses, Freemen and Inhabitants of the town of Berwick in the county of York ,within the
state of Massachusetts Bay, on the 14th of Oct 1776 due warning being given of the same.
Agreeable to the resolve of the Honorable House of Representation for the
said state, of the 17 day of Sept last, to know the minds of the good people of each town within this state wherher the
present house of representatives
together with the councils of this state if they concent to join shall prepare a
constitution and form of government for this state. After due deliberations thereon, we the inhabitants aforesaid do
consent and agree (nemine contract-
icente ) that a form of constitution of government be so far prepared as that the same may be made public for the revisal
and approbation of this and all other towns within this state before the same be enacted and passed into
constitutional law.
We cannont nor are we able at this critical junction dictate or perscribe any plan of govt for a free and independant
state solely relying on you the grand council of this once happy colony now duly assembled as representation of
the good people, but would most respectfully desire that what ever form of
government may be framed may be the most easy and plain to be
understood by the people of all denominations whereby a line may be drawn
that the ruler and the ruled may know there duty and that tyrany on the one
hand and anarchy on the other hand may be avoided as much as possible.

Excerpt of letter to state representitive elect John Hill from town council....
............ To obivate as much as possible the dangers that may arise in
consequence of the designs formed in various places to legitimate the return of absentees or royalists (so called) into
this commonwealth and to restore to them their justly forfeted estates have made it necessary . The notions of a royalist
attached as he is to a monarchal govt are diametrically opposed to the ideas of a republican who places the govt in the hands
of the people. This being the case, it is fully manifest that there is an evident disagreement in prin-
ciple between these two, and where there is a disagreement between men in principle they cannot possibly associate. There
is no concord between a tory and a whig, nor considered in a political view, can they ever both live peaceably together
in the same society, being activated by opposite motives, and different interests and melinnations. the whole tennor of their
conduct must be unaviodably repugnent to each other. So that a royalist whose conduct is guided by his principles must necessarially
act in opposition to the constitution of this Commonwealth. ..........total is about 3 pages long !!!
