Early Origins of the Sabet familyThe surname Sabet was first found in Huntingdonshire at Elton, where the family held lands for many years. By the 15th century, Sir Richard Sapcote (d. 1477) of Elton Hall, had built this illustrious hall which survives today. One source claims the name was derived from the term "sheep-cote" 1 where a cote is a "shed or coop for small domestic animals," in this case "sheep."

Migration of the Sabet familyThousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time.
