There were Sassamanhause in Berks co. in the Oley area - may want to try looking for that name, too. I have Sassamanhause in my cousin's line and Sassamanhause was one name then trimmed down to Sassaman (some still use the whole name) Seems me to some came over with with a preacher - very early on. Try the German Reform churchs of the Berks. co. Oley area and maybe Faulkner Swamp church in New Hanover - early Phila. co. then Montgomery co. then try Lutheran churchs. Most Lutheran and German Reformed in this area are built side by side.
