Don, Thanks for the obituaries for Joseph and Charles Sasser. Do you have copies of the originals? I highlighted the section above for Charlie Sasser. There is a Lewis County, KY, but no Lewisville County, KY. Would you please double check the spelling? I'm guessing it is not Louisville, which is in Jefferson County. So far, I have not been able to find a town named Lewisville either. I was also wondering if you sent me an e-mail awhile back with an obituary for Iva Sasser. I can't seem to find it, but I thought I read it. If you still have it, would you resend it to me? Thanks also for the copy of the letter that Etheda Jo Sasser sent you. I would be interested in learning more from her, and would appreciate whatever you can pass along. I'd be particularly interested in knowing if she would send you a copy of information out of Joseph's Bible. Thanks again, Doug

Debbie, I think this is YOUR--and MY--uncle (g g g uncle, at least in my case)--and an uncle to all the living descendants of Henry Sasser (except for Arthur's own descendants). Arthur, the son of Henry Sasser and Nanny his wife, was born in 1818, according to both the Henry Sasser Bible and "Sassers of Laurel County, Ky," and would have been 77 in 1895. Unless there is information showing that Arthur died before 1895, I would assume that this is he. At age 77, members the younger generations would have called him "uncle" regardless of whether they were kin to him. The date 1841 is particularly interesting. That was the year Arthur's first child was born and presumably only about a year or less after his marriage to Levina Weaver. It is natural that the seed potatoes would not have been presented to Arthur until the next potato-planting time (early spring), which indeed would have been in 1841. I am sure somebody knows the name of Levina Weaver's father--and thus of the person with whom the red potato originated. Also note that Arthur Sasser was the uncle of our great grandfather, Arthur Humfleet, and obviously the brother for whom Great Great Grandmother Piety Sasser Humfleet named her son (something that I had not thought about until fairly recently). Sorry to write so many memos not containing new information. But one usually can learn more by analyzing old information than by collecting new facts. I hope I am not dwelling too much on trivia.

Dixie, In a discussion with me last month, one of my father's brothers, Gibb Perry, corrected one piece of information that my father had given me. He said (and my father seemed willing to concede the point) that Cora "Cory" Perry Sasser--second wife of Wallace Sasser--was a daughter of William R. Perry and Susan "Sukey" Tuttle Perry. My great grandfather, Tom Perry, was a brother of William R. Perry, while his wife (my great grandmother) was a sister of Susan Tuttle Perry ("Aunt Sukey"). Thus instead of being my grandfather, Alex Perry's, aunt (as I had thought), Cory Sasser was his double first cousin. I hope I have this straightened out now. The William R. Perry I am referring to is the one buried at Mt. Olivet (b. March 24, 1854, d. Mar. 15, 1929). I suspect that his father, Ranse Perry (my great great grandfather), is buried next to him, for I now am pretty sure that my grandfather once told me (about forty years ago) that he is buried at Mt. Olivet. I would tend to think that this is the same William R. Perry you have in your database. Do you have the date of death for Rhoda Sasser? Could she have been his first wife? According to the tombstone at Mt. Olivet, Susan Tuttle Perry (b. Aug. 1, 1852, d. Dec. 14, 1933) outlived her husband. I am still not quite sure how Nancy Jane Perry was connected to the other Perrys. My uncle might know. Also, I have a living great aunt that I should ask about this. The "Doc" Gilbert I referred to was Solomon "Doc" "Sol Doc" Gilbert, son of Wallace Gilbert (b. 1802)--and a "country doctor." Perhaps I should explain that the side of my family that I know least about is the Perrys. Ranse Perry (I have recently found out that his name was Ransil), according to tradition, came from Tennessee, where he had supposedly been a captain in the Confederate Army. I have recently learned that he was from Hancock County, TN. After coming to Knox County, KY, he apparently lived on Sled Road Branch (at the mouth of which Wallace Sasser's farm was located), just across the hill from the Jesse Sasser place on Blackwater and probably very close to the Adin Sasser place. All these Perry-Sasser connections notwithstanding, my Sasser lines are on my mother's side. Both my maternal grandfather, Claiborn "Clabe" Taylor, and my maternal grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Humfleet Taylor, were great grandchildren of Henry Sasser and Nanny his wife. That is why I say that although I do not have the name, I am a "double Sasser." The two lines are as follows: Glenn E. Perry (me) Mazie Pearl "Pearl" Taylor Perry (my mother) Claiborn "Clabe" Taylor (my grandfather) Susan Sasser Taylor (my great grandmother) Jesse Sasser (my great great grandfather) Henry Sasser and Nanny his wife (my great great great grandparents) Glenn E. Perry (me) Mazie Pearl "Pearl" Taylor Perry (my mother) Sarah Elizabeth Humfleet Taylor (my grandmother--the one I got all my information from when I was about fifteen years old) Arthur Humfleet (my great grandfather) Piety Sasser Humfleet (my great great grandmother) Henry Sasser and Nanny his wife (my double great great great grandparents) I am sending a copy of this to the whole list in order to correct the information on Cora Perry Sasser--and also in the hope that others will post their lines.

I am confused about my SASSER line (and seem to stay that way). I thought that a Charity Whittle married John B. Sasser. This Charity was born in GA and John B. Sasser was born in 1826. They were in Barbour Co. and Covington Co., AL and Charity was from Pike Co., AL. Could this be the same Charity as listed below and married to a Henry Harrison Sasser? Please try to help straighten out my confusion. Thanks.
