To: The Sasser-List, I received this message from Michele and replied to her however it should have been sent to the list. >You mentioned that there was a listing of settlers. I don't suppose any of >those names remotely look or sound like Sasser. I know that the name Saussure >is a Swiss name. > >Michele Sasser Young Hi Michele, In June I was in La Grange, NC at the Library there. I made copies of 25 pages from a book kept at the Liberians desk and it is a book one can not remove from the library. It hasn't until I got home that I read in the footnotes of one chapter that a complete list is in the appendix of this book. If it is a complete list that would be 600 names, for that is the number that de Graffenried had in his Swiss/Palatine party. If anyone would find themselves in that neck of the woods and could go to La Grange and make copies and put them on the List that would be great. --==Earl Sasser==-- Cordially, Earl Sasser ewsass@writeme.com

Earl, do you know the name of the book ??

[Here we see the granting of land in lots of 250 acres. The same as was willed by the early Sasser's from father to son.] 5# WHO WERE THE PALATINES? In the country in Germany known as the Palatinate on both sides of the Rhine River lived followers of Martin Luther and John Calvin who founded the "Palatine Catechism", and were called Palatines. A prolonged series of wars over the years had left their region devastated and impoverished; persecution by the Catholic king of France worsened matters. Finally an incredibly harsh winter which killed their grapevines and fruit trees and prevented planting grain led them to migrate to England. Here it was even hinted Queen Anne would assist them in securing transportation to the bountiful land in the New World. The proprietors agreed to sell ten thousand acres between the New and Cape Fear Rivers and bestow upon anyone of the Swiss company who purchased five thousand acres. Christoph van Graffenried bought five thousand acres for 50 pounds and assumed direction of the Swiss company. He agreed to transport 650 Palatines to America if the commissioners in London would pay the passage. In turn, the company agreed to set aside 250 acres for each family, furnish provisions and other necessities for a year. The lords proprietors directed Christopher Gale, one of their officials in North Carolina, to furnish the colonists with whatever he could, and the Swiss company would repay the proprietors a portion of their worth. An agreement was entered into between De Graffenried and Michel (his fellow Swiss), members of George Ritter & Company on the one hand, and seven commissioners and trustees appointed by the Crown for the assistance and settlement of the Palatines, on the other hand. The agreement provided for the transportation of 600 persons from England to "the part of her Majesty's dominions in America known as North Carolina".The agreement stipulated that within three months after their arrival each family was to receive 250 acres of land to be held the first five years thereafter without any acknowledgment for the same, and rendering and paying unto the said De Graffenried for every acre the sum of two pence every year after the said term of five years." Before the end of January in mild weather the colonists accompanied by Lawson departed. Graffenried remained to complete plans for a colony of Swiss to follow shortly. HARSH CIRCUMSTANCES When they finally reached the site of the colony, Graffenried heard distressing tales of Death and suffering Winter storms at sea had delayed them and they were thirteen weeks in crossing. Lack of adequate supplies, salty food, and close confinement had taken a heavy toll. In the mouth of the James River, they were boarded by French Privateers and plundered. When they finally reached North Carolina in desperate need of assistance to make their way overland to Neuse River, they called on 001. Thomas Pollock on the Chowan River, who charged dearly for supplies. Finally at their journey's end, they discovered that Lawson and Gale had made no provisions for them at all. Too weak to work, they even had to sell their clothes to their neighbors for sustenance. They were located by Surveyor-General Lawson on a tongue of land between the Neuse and Trent Rivers, called by the Indians. "Chattooka." Graffenried did send to Pennsylvania for flour and to Virginia for other supplies. He had already paid the lords proprietors for the land he claimed, but as a step toward insuring peace he also paid the Indians for whatever claim they might have. The new town was named for the river on which it was located and for his home city in Switzerland: Neuse-Bern. To the English this sounded like New Bern and that is what the place was called. Only twenty of the families lived in town; they were the artesian locksmith, mason, blacksmith, tailor, miller, butcher, weaver, potter. title maker. carpenter, shoemaker and a schoolmaster. The remainder of the colonists were settled on farms of 250 acres each on the Trent River and its tributaries, extending to the present town of Pollocksville. The setters set to work to build houses and managed to make themselves comfortable. They arranged wheels on the streams to grind their grain and made progress in the business of living. INDIAN MASSACRE But tragedy followed. Yellow fever ravaged the colonists. Then without warning. at dawn on September 22,1711, the formerly friendly Indians fell upon the unsuspecting settlers' plantations. As a result of the massacre, numbers of children were left orphans. Many were apprenticed in foster homes, and among them appears the name of George Koonce. Graffenried became bitter and disillusioned returned to Europe in 1713. He blamed the colonists for his difficulties, but they said "he carried off from our Settlements all that he could come at." He failed to supply the colonists with the livestock, tools, implements. other things required of him in the contract. But their great and bitter grievance against him was that he never game them titles to their lane. The settlers justly regarded the 250 acres allotted to each as their own. Notwithstanding. Graffenried had mortgaged their land to 001-one Pollock, he said( to assist them through the first winter. In 1733, Cullen Pollock. Colonel Pollock's son, came into possession of all his father's property so he foreclosed the mortgage and ordered the eviction of the colonists in the dead of winter. Upon being petitioned. the crown mercifully came to their rescue and issued a land grant to each petitioning settler. Among these settlers were the Francks, Koonces, Shelfers, Kornegas, Nobles, Millers, Rhems, Islers and others. (A complete list is in the appendix.) [I did not read this until we returned to California or I would have made copies of the appendix.] THE PALATINE CHARACTER Lillian F. Wood who researched the Palatines states that "although the settlers are spoken of as 'poor Palatines' they were not debtors trying to escape their debts; they were not indentured servants of apprentices trying to escape their masters; they were not peasants weary of the exactions of landlords. They were cultured, deeply religious people, the best that Europe had to offer, driven from their homes by religious persecution. According to Dr. Charles Holloman the Palatines and Swiss were a large element in early Kingston and Lenoir County. Mrs. Caswell (See Heritage) John Heritage, Mrs. Jesse Cobb, William Martin Heritage, The Franks, Islers, Koonces and many more were descendants. Cordially, Earl Sasser ewsass@writeme.com

4# EARLIEST SETTLERS More than fifty years was to pass from the time Harlot wrote of his explorations, before the first known permanent European settler was to come to North Carolina. He was Nathaniel Batts who settled in the Albermarle section about 1645. By 1663 when the Lords Proprietors received from King Charles II their famous charter including the Kinston area, there were about a thousand settlers most of which were in what is now the Perquimans County. The first Europeans to explore the Kinston area were John Lawson and Baron Christopher De Graffenreid. The latter met Lawson the surveyor-general, who was in London seeing about publication of his book, Lawson's Histoiy of North Carolina. The supplementary title was "Containing the Exact Description and Natural History of That Country, Together With the Present State Thereof And a Journal of A Thousand Miles Traveled Through Several Nations of Indians, Giving a Particular Account of Their Customs, Manners, etc. etc." The first edition was published in London in 1709, and it proved to be so popular it is still being used today. Lawson had 'built a house about a mile from an Indian town at the fork of Neuse River, where "I dwelt by myself, excepting a young Indian Fellow, and a Bull Dog that I had along with me." This Indian town, the future site of New Bern, was called Chattooka, and he owned about 600 acres. He was asked by the Lords Proprietors to assist DeGraffenreid in establishing the colony of Palatines and Swiss in North Carolina. Some of these Palatines and many of their descendants, were later to become settlers in the Kinston are. Cordially, Earl Sasser ewsass@writeme.com

3# LENOIR THE COUNTRY OF THE NEUSIOK The first reference to the area that was to become Lenoir County was found in the report made by captain Arthur Barlowe and Captair Phillip Amadas to Sir Walter Raleigh. They had landed in 1584 on the North Carolina coast between Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout and took possession in the name of the Oueen Elizabeth. The region Captain Barlowe referred to a secotan consisted of what now is Dare Count and "the country of the Neusiok" as the present Kinston area on ''a goodly river called Neuse". The Neusiok were part of the Tuscarora Nation. They were the nomadic sixth of the Iroquian Six Nations. They marveled at the tall red cedars, the abundance of wild grapes, deer, rabbits and birds. The Indians gave them fresh fish in exchange for a shirt and hat and some wine and food. Barlowe commented to Raleigh on the deer and buffalo skins, they received in trade from the Indians, on the meat, fish, corn, pease, pumpkins, melons and grapes, and the Indian methods of farming. The Indians were excellent farmers and among their crops was "an herb which is sewed apart by itself and is called by the inhabitants upponwoc. Thomas Hariot, one of the early English explorers, wrote. "The Spaniards generally called it tobacco. The leaves thereof being dried and brought into powder, they use to take the fume or smoke thereof, by sucking it through pipes of clay, into their stomach and head, from where it purges superfluous phlegm, and other gross humors and opens all the pores and passages of the body, by which means the use thereof not only preserves the body from obstructions, but also (if any be, so that they have been of too long continuance) in short time breaks them, whereby their bodies are notably preserved in health and know not many grievous diseases, wherewithal we in England are often afflicted." Cordially, Earl Sasser ewsass@writeme.com

[As I figure it the dates of the early settlers would be consistent with the dates of the birth of the father and uncles of Henry Sasser.] 2# THE COLONY OF NORTH CAROLINA The following story was taken from the Kinston Free Press, 1899. The colony of North Carolina was divided into three counties under the Lords Proprietors, viz Albermarle, to the north; Bath, in the center, with Clarendon, on the south. In 1709 Bath county was a wilderness, the few inhabitants being thinly scattered over its territory, but mainly following its water courses, the Neuse, Trent, Tar and Pamlico rivers, in their search of bottom lands. The whole colony had scarcely ten thousand settlers. Bath was divided into three parishes -Beaufort, Hyde and Craven - for purposes of taxation and sustaining the established religion of the mother country, the Episcopal church. Craven parish embraced the present counties of Lenoir, Craven, Pitt, Greene, Edgecombe, Nash, Wilson, Wayne, Jones, Johnston, Carteret, Pamlico, part of Beaufort and parts of some of the western counties, then in the undisputed possession of the Indian and the rattlesnake. FIRST PERMANENT WHITE SETTLEMENT IN NORTH CAROLINA The first permanent white settlement in North Carolina was made to the eastward of the Chowan river, by the English, extending in a few years down to and along Albemarle sound. It was probably made as early as 1650, and surely as early as 1660; but neither its exact date nor locality can be fixed with absolute certainty. In 1690, an offshoot of the James River French settlement in Virginia made a lodgment in this colony - following the course of the parent adventurers, and settled further south, a little to the north of the Trent and Neuse rivers. Then the Neuse was reached and passed by 1706. In 1707 another band of Frenchmen from the same James River settlement came seeking better lands and made their home between the Neuse and Trent rivers.

To the Sasser-List, This is the story of Lenoir County going back to the start of the Colony of North Carolina. I picked it up at the library in the County of Lenoir. In these pages we hear again the story of the Palatines. This is the area where old Henry was born. Later on in the story we will see land grants to Sasser's. I hope this is not to wordy for the list members if so let me know and I will try to cut it back some. This is directly scanned, you are getting it word for word. This is two pages scanned and I have 25 pages in all. Remember if it is too much just give me the word. Unfortunately what it does not do is give us marriage dates, birth dates, and children. P.S. The first attempt at sending was a failure. I will now try it bit by bit. 1# IN THE BEGINNING ... A GREAT ENIGMA The history of North Carolina seems as great an enigma as that of its first governor, Richard Caswell. Even though North Carolina was the site of England's first attempt at colonization with Sir Walter Raleigh in Roanoke Island in 1585, whose fate remains a mystery to this day, and by 1776 it was the fourth most populous of the colonies, no specialized study of its colony's history has hitherto been published. Due to its dangerous coast it has been described as a fortress, with the barrier reef of the coast line for its wall and the broad sounds behind the wall for its moat. The wall seemed to discourage frontal assault by settlers. From the beginning North Carolina was preoccupied with local problems - conflicts between settlers and Indians, between east and west, between assemblies and governors - combined with geographic and cultural isolation to give North Carolina a uniquely parochial character. North Carolina was from the beginning strikingly different from its southern sisters. It had few slaves, no plantation aristocracy, no center of commerce and culture, and despite the production of naval stores that were highly prized in Britain, was not closely bound to the mother country. Nevertheless, North Carolina was the first state formally to direct its delegates in the Continental Congress to vote for independence. How does one explain this paradox? The authors Hugh T. Lefler and William S. Powell suggest that in 1776 North Carolina was seeking independence not only from the mother country but from Britain's other mainland colonies, a status it did in fact secure a decade or so later by refusing for a year to join the other states in adopting the Federal Constitution.

Dear cousins, When you all are passing around copies of family records -- PLEASE, don't forget to send in a copy to preserve in the Sasser Family National Library. I am trying to gather and preserve copies of EVERY kind of record ever written on our family. Perhaps in the future, no one in our family will have to ask the question "who were my ancestors" ...because the answer will be in our Family Library collection available to all our family. The rule of thumb about what to send to the library is -- if it is written, tape recorded or a photo, so long as it is about our Sasser family INCLUDING descendants! That includes old deeds, land grants, federal homesteads, military records of all wars, church records, census records, birth and death certificates, marriage licenses and bonds, court records, tax lists, newspaper articles, obituaries, bible records, cemetery records (tombsone inscriptions), burial records (funeral home, etc.), school records, old letters, (get the idea?. Even email copies will be a great addition to the Family Library but what is much more valuable for future generations are xerox copies of the original records. This is YOUR family library. Your cuz, Robert Earl Woodham

To date, I have not found a single document telling what the maiden name of CLARISSA ("Claracy", "Clarcy", "Claricy" "Clara" and various other spellings of her name and nickname). And I have been searching for MANY years! I am convinced they married in old Dobbs County. Unfortunately, the old Dobbs records were destroyed in courthouse fires. My Daddy's family was from there too. Double darn it!! And then my Sasser branch had to go and settle in what was then Baker County, Georgia. The problem there wasn't fires--but floods, MANY of them. No records before about 1875 or so. There are "branches" of our family all over Georgia, Florida, Alabama and from those states to every part of the nation today who are descended from this couple. They are undoubtedly one of the most prolific branches of our family. You just can't top more than 200 grandkids!!! (unless you are an Arab prince) I haven't given up and don't plan to. I admire Clarissa for her sheer fortitude in raising so many younguns! Robert Earl

Dear Earl and others, About the location of the family record at the end of the old Testamanet... actually, this is one of the most common locations for the family record sections. I searched for one particular bible for more than 25 years and when I finally located it, found that the first 30 pages or so had been lost. LUCKILY, that particular bible had a SECOND title page -- located between the old and new Testaments, where the family record pages were also. Had they been in the front, they would have been torn out also. The lady said she had no idea of what had happened to the missing pages. The title page showed it had been printed in 1815. The handwriting changed after the year 1820, when the ancestor died and his son and others assumed the task of entering info. Mama bought three huge, expensive bibles because she wanted "big" ones for family info. They were the large, fancy ones that folks display on their coffee tables. Mama ruined one that cost a fortune by putting obituaries, dried flowers from kinfolk's graves, hair clippings of the kids, news articles, wedding notices, etc. in it to the point it finally broke the back. Now the pages can come out. This is one of the primary causes of book bindings being broken on bibles--from folks putting their mementoes in them. The date of publication of a bible is one thing to always check on -- when a bible was printed. It will help you determine who might have done the writing initially. And if you find the title page has been lost, then check between the old and new Testaments and you might find a second one. Robert Earl

To: The Sasser-List, I would like to thank Glenn for the copy of the family record from the bible of Henry Sasser. After re-reading the messages from members of the list about the torn page revealing the Apocrypha. And looking over the few words showing from the second page, one notes the passage is from the Second Book of Maccabees. One can see the II M.... at the top most of the page. The biblical text we see is from Chapter 15 Verse 30. The Deuterocanonical books are included in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles. Anglican Bibles include these plus a few more Bibles which was pointed out by Doug, and they call them "Apocrypha." The Second Book of Maccabees is at the end of the Old Testament and Chapter 15 is the last Chapter, 37 is the last Verse. That would put the Family Record inside II Maccabees right in the middle of the Bible, not a place I should think a printer would put a family record page. I believe they are loose pages just inserted at random in a Bible. If I am not mistaken at some point there was this message saying the pages have been torn from "The Bible." However, would one take and invert a bible with loose pages in them to make copies or just take them out to copy? These pages are golden and the hand writing seems to be done with much flair, thanks again Glenn. Cordially, Earl Sasser ewsass@writeme.com
