Dear Cousins, The only "book" published so far on our family is titled "OF ONE DOZEN SASSERS". This is on the descendants of THOMAS SASSER Senior of Wayne County, North Carolina and Screven County, Georgia. His descendants are mainly in Georgia, Alabama and Florida but now scattered all over the country. The title is a misnomer. The author began doing research in the 1970's and I provided her with all the oldest information in her book. I asked her to give me more time before she printed the book because there was still a LOT of work to be done and many records I still hadn't checked yet that I knew existed. As it turned out, instead of 12 children, Thomas Sr. and his wife CLARISSA had 21 children [that's right, folks, 21 !!!]. Two of their daughters had a total of more than 40 children together [again--that's right more than 40 !!! between just two girls]. Altogether, he and Clarissa had AT LEAST 200 grandchildren !!!!! However, the book has nothing beyong Thomas Sr. because at the time, I could not prove anything beyond him. I have been gathering info and records for many years now and if I can live long enough, some day I will have a book for us on ALL the family. Be patient with me. Your cuz, Robert Earl Woodham

could you furnish ordering information on the thomas & clarissa sasser book? thanks. > -----Original Message----- > From: Denise (Kirkland) Smiley [SMTP:MDSMILEY@prodigy.net] > Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 1998 7:14 PM > To: SASSER-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [SASSER-L] sasser family book > > Hi Patsy, > > I am sorry to say that I was not able to find any information in the book > to > a Smithey Sasser.

Yes it does mention Clara Sasser and Norman A. Roberts so that family line is contained in the book. Good luck. Joel Sasser

Hi Patsy, I am sorry to say that I was not able to find any information in the book to a Smithey Sasser. The book is mainly on the descendent of Thomas and Clarisy Sasser in Screven Co., GA and the surrounding counties. Sorry that I was not able to provide you with any information. Have a good night and happy hunting.

Patti: We will be having a Sasser reunion on Sept 5-6 in Joseph Oregon. If you are interested, let me know and I will send you the low down. There will be Sasser's from Kentucky attending along with family members of Abraham & Margaret Hammack, William Henry Sasser and Mary Catherine Jones to name a few. There is a man in Wallowa County who is in the process of writing a book on the Sasser's. I do not know if he is including all or just those descended from Abraham and Margaret.

My name is Perry Joel Sasser, Jr. and I live in New York. My family is originally from south Florida, via South Georgia. I have a copy of the book that you are referring to. It is called "Of One Dozen Sassers" and was compiled and edited by Claudia Chitwood Weller. Her last known address was 3615 Shamrock Court, Orlando, Florida. This book traces the family back to the mid 1700's in North Carolina and then down through Georgia from where they spread out all over the country it seems. Good luck in your search. Joel Sasser

I have seen one recently but don't recall the author.....something about a dozen Sassers.

Hello everyone, I am new to this newsletter. I am Patricia Sasser Nilssen from Washington state. I was wondering if anyone on this list has got the bug to write a Sasser family book. Respond if there are any brave hearts out there. I saw one many many years ago at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, but I didn't have any way of connecting at the time. It seems that line had migrated into Florida. If anyone is near that library or will be going soon, perhaps they could look it up, or maybe does anyone else have a copy of that book? Write if you know anything! Patti Nilssen nilssen@msn.com

Greetings all, I figured I'd throw this out since everyone is always so helpful. It has come to my attention that one of my distant cousins, a SASSER of course, and a few others, may have some older photographs that I would luv to have copied and enhanced. Unfortunately, this "info" is a bit dated so I don't know if its still available. So of course, my question is; Does anyone know or maybe even related to the following individuals and could connect me with them or their heirs? 1) Mrs Juanetta J. Sasser of Camden, OH 2) Mr. Clayborne Moore of Barbourville, KY 3) Mrs. Nila H. Pickard of Barbourville, KY Hope to hear from someone soon, Thanks len taylor http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/t/a/y/Leonard--Taylor/
