Hello Howell, I also would like to have a copy of your research. Please send to: Bill Brown 4682 Martinez Drive Orlando, FL 32839-2025 USA Please let me know of any costs you incur and I will gladly reimburse you. Thanks, Bill Brown

To: Mr. Howell C. Sasser I'm probably going to get in deep mud for this reply but here goes. I totally empathsize with you on being bombarded for hardcopy requests. Ocassionally, I have an item that I would very much like to post to the list for informational reasons but, in the end, I will just stick it in my files. In years past, before the electronic age, we searchers, would reference a book & page number, or a book name and the receiving party would then send for that record themselves or use the abstract you assembled. Research is hard work, mentally, and it is costly at times especially if, like I, you must pay a researcher for these items most of the time. In past years, I would send off for a record and possibly wait a month on it. Or have a wish list saved for my next trip to the library. At some point you mention these records and then have tons of people wanting copies immediately. So, you are looking at these pages, that you have spent many months or years collecting not to mention the $$ involved, you take your time to copy them, mail them, and in my experience hardly ever receive a thank you from the receipient and very seldom do they reimburse for the costs involved of mailing & copy. With the introduction of the computer, genealogists have become a spoiled bunch. If I wish to share an item with someone, I have found myself repling directly to them rather than posting to the list. Mainly because I do not mind sending a copy to someone who is researching my line but do not have the time and money to make 15 or 20 copies of my hard earned documents. This is sad because the list loses valuable information in the end. I've also noticed myself becoming a little cynical and untrusting of the people that tell you they have such & such and will trade. In my experience so far, I'm the one doing the contributing and I have yet to receive much in return that is worth a flip. I do not mean only the Sasser list but the other lists that I subscribe too as well. It seems to be a common trait in this computer age. So, in the future, I plan to ask for Book & page number, book name & author, where did you find this so I can send for it, etc. for any records, or information that I see posted to the list that I am interested in. I think it was very generous of you to post your original message and I appreciate the information. I hope others on this list have thanked you as well.

To all who expressed interest in the geneaological research concerning John Sasser of Essex, England: There have been so many who have asked for hard copies of the records I hold. If you read the message carefully you will note that it was a retransmission of a message I originally sent to Robert Earl Woodham offering him a hard copy as he has also done research into relatives in Essex, England. It was not my intention to offer everyone a hard copy of the research I have in hand, but to share what information I could with anyone who might be interested. Due to expense, time, and the logistics of getting these documents reproduced, wrapped and shipped from Portugal to the United States, I won't be able to respond to all your requests. I will, however, endeavor to put as much of the information developed, with appropriate referencing, on the Sasser network for all to share. Thank you all for your interest. For those who would like to pursue research on their own, the following reference are given: Legal and Convict Sources: Treasury Money Books: 25 May 1742 - 26 June 1745 Essex Assize Sessions (at Chelmford): Midsummer 1742 and Lent 1743 Parish Register Sources: Essex Record Office Rawreth Rayleigh Great Burstead Hadleigh Boyd's Marriage Index: Essex Sections: The International Genealogical Index, 1994 edition: Essex Section Probate and other Sources: Indexes to Wills at Chelmford, Essex, 1620-1720 Essex Wills Beneficiaries Index Essex Wills: 1709 John Crosse 1716 Gilbert Garrard 1724 Andrew Hobbard (These wills are listed because in each 1729 Henry Lucas of them a Sasser is a beneficiary) Index to Essex Marriage Licences Howell C.

Hi Michele: I was wondering if you could give me more information such as which line you are descended from. This will give me an idea if I need more information on your particular line.

Hello Gail here, I have the names of the ships that landed in Isle of Wight Va. So many families that ended in NC started out in Isle of Wight. I do not have dates just ships. Some of the surnames that went to Johnston Co NC from Va. are Talton's,or Tarleton's , Stallings, Pearce. When the land grants opened up they went to NC.

Howell, Thanks for taking the time to research our family history. I, too, would like a hard copy to share with my immediate family. My address is Sue Lynn Sasser 201 Saint Louis Avenue Fulton, MO 65251

Dear Gail, You write that you have certain information concerning names of ships coming to Virginia in the 17th/18th century. The only way I know of obtaining the information you want is to hire a geneologist to go and search the appropriate records to try to obtain the info you want. It would be helpful if you could let me know the names of the ships and dates of passage, if possible, as I am currently undertaking that very research to try to identify Sassers moving to the colonies. I might be able to find something for you as long as it is in the Sasser line. Howell C. Sasser Porto, Portugal

Hello everyone, I'm a "newbie" here and have just been standing on the sidelines getting a feel for the territory and I really like what I see. The recent posting by BILL BOULINEAU was the first concrete piece of information I've been able to uncover on my g-g-g-grandmother, Sabra Sasser, B: Abt 1750 in Dobbs (Wayne) County, NC. She was married to James Boyette about 1768 but that information might not be correct. Sabra died in Screven County, GA after 1833. I have a great deal of data on the Boyette line backward and forward but nothing on Sabra either way. If anyone can help point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful. Of course, what I have is available to one and all. Bill Brown Wilgeese2@aol.com Orlando, Florida

-------------Forwarded Message----------------- From: Howell C. Sasser, To: INTERNET:woodham@leo.infi.net, INTERNET:woodham@leo.infi.net Date: 19/08/98 08:11 PM RE: Sasser, John [Essex Co.] Dear Cousin, Here is what I have found so far in the Essex records: With the reference to John Sasser in P.W. Coldham's book, Bonded Passengers to America, vol 4: Home Counties, 1655-1755, as a starting point, the trail led to the British government Treasury records which are held in the Public Records Office in London (Money Warrants), which were issued to those who organized the shipping and transportation of prisoners, usually listing the names of individual convicts up to the year 1744. From that source it was learned that John Sasser was one of 100 prisoners transported on the shop Justitia, seven of whom were from Essex. Treasury Money Book, 25 May 1742 to 26 June 1745 Public Record Office ref: T53 41 fol 228: List of Transports from the Home Circuit after Lent Assizes 1742 from Essex: John Sasser (and six others listed) Records show that John Sasser was sent to Gravesend, Kent to be put aboard the Justitia under the command of Captain Barnet Bond. Essex Assize Sessions, 28 July 1742 (Midsummer) at Chelmsford Public Record Office ref: ASSI 94 689 List of Persons now in His Majesty's goal at Chelmford: John Sasser: committed 26 April 1742 by Chas Smith, Wm Kingsman and Wm Dawtrey Esqs. and charged upon oath of Thomas Howlett on suspicion of stealing a mare the property of William Royse." John Sasser was tried on 28 July 1742 and found guilty of the crime. "Above prisoner, John Sasser, attained at the last Assizes by virtue of the late Act of Parliament and pursuant to HM's pleasure signified by the Lord Carteret, one of his principal secretaries of state, is ordered by the Court to be transported to some of HM's colonies and plantations in America for the term of 14 years." In evidence given, John Sasser was decribed as a labourer of the parish of Rawreth in the south of Essex. A check of the records of the parish or Rawreth revealed no information about any Sasser. An examination was undertaken of the registers of parishes adjoining or close to Rawreth and some information on Sassers was discovered in the parish of Rayleigh, which adjoins Rawreth on the south-east. However, these Sassers records (baptisms, marriages) were in the mid 1700's A check of the parish of Great Burstead, which lies about 7 miles west of Rawreth was more productive. Great Burstead, Essex Baptisms: 10 Feb 1693 Thomas son of John and Hannah Sassa 5 Nov 1696 John son of John and Hannah Sassa 23 Jul 1712 John son of Bernard and Mary Sasser 15 Apr 1714 Bernard son of Bernard Sasser 20 Apr 1714 Bernard son of Bernard and Mary Sasser (there are more Sasser Baptisms, but later in the 1700,s) Marriages 25 Oct 1711 Bernard Sasser and Mary Lewin, both single person of this parish Burials: 25 Apr 1694 Mrs Sassa (?) nurses child 24 Apr 1706 William Sasser 24 Mar 1709 Hannah Sasser wife of John Sasser (there are more burials but most later in the 1700's) It is interesting to note that the name Sasser suddenly appears in the register of the parish of Great Burstead in the late 17th century, with no records before about 1685. It is as if they were suddenly there, which may indicate that they may have move to Great Burstead from some other area of Essex. One good indicator of this is the fact that IGI records reveal information about a Sasser in the north of Essex in the late 16th century. On 30 June 1594 Parnell son of Thomas Saser was baptised at Mistley, in the far north-east corner of Essex, a considerble distance from Rawreth. Is it possible that the Sassers originated in the north of Essex and moved south in the late 17th century? Is it also possible that some of these Essex Sassers took passage to the colonies during the same time period (mid to late 17th century). That is my next project: to search the records of ships leaving ports on the east and south coast of England to try to identify Sasser names if they exist. If they were in America they had to come over by ship and with a bit of luck we can find the ship. I am also undertaking research to try to trace the movements of Sassers within Essex. I'll keep you posted. My research on this matter in in hard copy. If you would like the complete record (the above is only the highlights) let me know and I can mail a copy to you.

Hi. My name is Elaine. I am re-starting my father's work into the Sasser Family. My dad researched his family in the 1960's & 70's. I am trying to locate Sassers who are in my family line. They are mostly from Laurel and Knox County, KY. Dad and family attended the Sasser family reunions back in the 1960's and 1970's, they were held at Levi Jackson National Park in Kentucky. I don't know if these are still held, but I would love to find out! My line is as follows: Elaine Helton Lorinczi -Robert Wayne Helton (1929-1979) & Catherine Mary Hayes --Mabel Avis Sasser (1905-1991) & William Robert Helton ---James Madison Adams Sasser (1872-1948) & Minnie Myrtle Humfleet ----James Henderson Sasser (1825-1852) & Martha Hubbard -----Henry Sasser I would appreciate any assistance at all. I have lots of information to share with others, also. I may be reached at two different email accounts.... quinten@iols.com or elorinczi@elcamino.com Thank you!

My wife is a SASSER decendant, I have just started research on that line and have downloaded a WFT file that contains the following information: JAMES HENDERSON SASSER b August 10, 1825 Smithfield, Johnston Co., NC m August 11, 1852 in Knox Co., Ky, son of JOHN HENRY SASSER and NANCY KIRBY. JOHN HENRY son of WILHEIM " WILLIAM " SASSER b 1745 Heimersheim, Germany who m MARTHA BISHOP March 19, 1718 in Johnston Co., NC. I have no proof of any of this but perhaps it's a start. Hope this helps. Hal Jordan
