TACKETT Name Meaning
Altered form of northern French Tacquet or Taquet: nickname from a diminutive of Old French tache 'hook, buckle, loop; distinctive mark' (see Tache ). Altered ending reflects the Canadian and American French practice of sounding the final -t. See also Tacket , compare Tackitt or Tackett .
Most of the Tackett's surname came from Lewis Tacquett (1675-1743,44) a French Huguenot (protestant). Came to the Colony of Virginia in 1686. He was born in Franch but moved to England as a young boy.
Thomas Tackett landed in Maryland in 1661. Thomas was transported from England but he didn't leave any blood relatives that have been found.
