To: The Sasser-List Someone was saying in an e-mail message on the Sasser-L that towns in land grants were numbered not named. Is there any way to know where "Section twenty three in Township Seventeen North of Range seventeen West of the fifth principal meridian in Arkansas" where that would be??? Cordially, Earl Sasser ewsass@writeme.com

To: Don and the SASSER-L The latter part of April Don wrote a story from the Smithfield Herald dated August 17, 1906 about a girl named Mittie Sasser daughter of Isaac Sasser who married this guy that her father didn't like and the father came and got her but she run away again after years of being keep at home. Has anyone been able to hook them up with any of us??? I've looked over all the info I have and can't find an Isaac Sasser. Cordially, Earl Sasser ewsass@writeme.com

To: the Sasser List From: Glenn E. Perry I am almost a year late with this obituary of my mother's brother, Raymond Taylor, a descendant of Henry Sasser and Nancy Kirby Sasser on two sides. His father was Claiborn Taylor, son of Isaac Taylor and Susan Sasser Taylor, daughter of Jesse Sasser, son of Henry Sasser and Nancy Kirby Sasser. His mother, Sarah Elizabeth Humfleet Taylor, was a daughter of Arthur Humfleet, son of William Humfleet and Piety Sasser Humfleet, daughter of Henry Sasser and Nancy Kirby Sasser. He and his brothers and sisters were born about halfway between the Sasser-Glass Cemetery and the Sasser-Dixon Cemetery, presumably on the land that once belonged to Henry Sasser.

Trying to sort out the family - -does anyone know who Howell married or the names of his children. Are John B and William brothers? Thanks Suzanne

Dear Don and all, Please change the URL address for the Sasser Family Association's Home page. The new address is: http://www.geocities.com/~rewoodham/sasser.html I moved the site to GeoCities so we could have much more web space for less cost than at SwiftSite. I now have a "jump" from the old site to the new one but will probably phase out the old site completely by the end of this month to save money. Hope you like the new site. Your cuz, Robert Earl Woodham

I had seen on postings that the Saucer name was a variation on the Sasser name. If this is correct, does anyone have any info on Sarah Ann Saucer who married Etheldread Boyet Sept. 5, 1821?-Bill

Thanks, Don! I'm almost certain this is my great grandfather! There has been some confusion as to whether his first name was Sidney or Albert. I always thought it was Sidney but found the cemetery record that said Albert. Is there anyone in the Sasser list related to this line??? -----Original Message----- From: Don L.

Dear Don, You asked in an earlier email who RUPERT SASSER (born 5 Jan., 1910) was. Rupert was the son of WILLIAM WALTER SASSER and MAGNOLIA MOORE. He was born in the Little Horse Creek Community of Screven County, Georgia. Rupert and his wife RUBY EDENFIELD had at least six children, including a son, RUPERT WAYNE (Wayne) SASSER Senior. WILLIAM WALTER was the son of WILLIAM M. SASSER and EUGENIA McBRIDE. More? Sorry to be so late on this but I am STILL trying to catch up on my email that got way behind while I was in the hospital. Your cuz, Robert Earl Woodham

Dear Cousins, Now that I am at home for a few weeks, I decided to get back to work on the SASSER FAMILY INDEX. For those of you who didn't hear about this when I posted the message a few months ago, this is a type of family index that I invented several years ago and long before I ever used a computer. This is a single family name index and does not include descendants of Sasser girls (such as myself). Everyone in the Index is a Sasser (or the wife of a Sasser). It looks like this: FIRST MIDDLE MAID/NICK BORN WHERE BORN FATHER FATHER MID FATHER ID The first two columns are obvious. The third is for the maiden names of wives (in all CAPS) or nicknames. Born is for the year born. Where born is always a county name and sometime a state. Johnston is ALWAYS Johnston County, NC. Any other county with the same name has the state added. Father is for the father of the person or the husband in the case of a wife. The ID is a combination of the father's father's initials and the year the father was born. This ID is to help "identify" WHICH relative you are talking about when you have a common name. For instance, my ID for ARTHUR SASSER of Laurel County, KY. would be (H)18. This indicates that this is the Arthur whose father's initial is H and that this particular Arthur was born in 1818. It works great when you have say, a John, with no middle name. We have had several hundred John's in our family in the last 400 years so WHICH John are you talking about. I started on the Sasser Family Index several months ago but then lost it all when I had so much trouble with both my old and then a new computer. Now, I have started over and already have more than 4,000 names in the Index. Someday, I hope to get all the family records on the computer and be able to create an Index of descendants as well. More on this good news later... Your cuz, Robert Earl Woodham

Dear Don, The first two men on the Texas Confederate pensions, W. P. (WILLIAM P.) and JAMES LINSFORD (JAMES LUNSFORD), were both sons of RICHARD HENRY SASSER and JANE JOHNSON. James Lunsford married LAVINIA E. BRIDGE in 1871 and later moved to Texas. I don't have anything on his descendants though. His brother William P. also moved to Texas. Don't have anything on his descendants either (my records are very sparse on Texas records!). The "J. F." was JACOB F., born in Barbour County, Alabama (on the Georgia border) and son of SAMUEL D. SASSER and his wife ELIZABETH JANE. SAMUEL D. was a son of JOHN S. SASSER Sr. and grandson of BRITTON. Again, I have no info on Jacob's descendants. I don't have a clue as to the identity of BERRY BRYANT. But will keep trying. Your cuz, Robert Earl Woodham

Tell Frank Williams' wife that her father is a stopping with me a few days and that he is well and hearty.Where does Joe Gregory and his wife live?

They are to give me $1700 for the place with my part of thecrop.Fred McCarty is a herding sheep for Luther. Fred stayed last week with me. Luther McCarty has bought him a farm. He paid $1200 for it. Jim Jones hassold his sheep. He got about $4000 for them. He talks some of going back toKentucky, but I don't think he will. I have sold two of my farms and I havetwo unsold. I have been a sowing grain for the last few days. It will takeme about a week longer to get through sowing my grain yet.The Baptists had a protracted meeting at Mitchell this fall. They got abouta dozen joiners. Two of W. H. Sasser's children joined. I have not been tochurch since the Sunday I was at Rough Creek last May.John Black has bought him a bunch of sheep.

>From Smithfield Herald, Aug. 17, 1906Four and a half years ago, Ira Jernigan, a son of Louis Jernigan, married Mittie Sasser, a daughter of Isaac Sasser, who lives near Mount Olive. The license was obtained and the marriage took place in Sampson County. They lived together from Sunday until the following Thursday. Her father visited them and before leaving asked his daughter if she would not like to go home with him and get her clothes. She went with him but was not allowed to return to her husband. About a year ago her father got a divorce for her. For the past three years she had heard nothing from Jernigan until a few days ago. When she heard that he was living in Bentonville Township, Johnston County, she arranged to slip away from her father a second time and come to him. She arrived Saturday evening, Aug. 4th at 5:30. On Monday they were married again and are now happy together. She is now nineteen years old.

Does anyone know who Rupert's parents were? Rupert Sasser b.Jan 5, 1910 d.Jun 29, 1976 married Ruby Edenfield in 1929. Date of birth: Jan 12, 1911 Date of death: Thanks, Don

Found on another list........Can anyone help him?? Debbie M ---------- From: "Wayne & Jennifer"@interaxs.net[SMTP:"Wayne & Jennifer"@interaxs.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 1998 6:25 AM To: KYLAUREL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [KYLAUREL-L] Tuttle/Williams/Sasser/Taylor I have found more info on John Tuttle and am hoping it will help connect me to someone out there that can help me. I still haven't found his father, but I did find his mother in the 1900 Laurel Co. KY census. Here is what I found: Bush Precinct, sheet 19: John Tuttle, b. June 1857 in KY, married 2 yrs., both parents b. KY Barbra, wife, b. Feb. 1876 in KY, married 2 yrs., both parents b. KY, gave birth to one child, one child still living Martha, dau., b.

March 1832 in KY, widowed, gave birth to 11 children, 5 still living, both of her parents b. KY If anyone can connect to any of the above listed people -- please let me know. I am also looking for John's first wife. She could be either Eliza Sasser or Sarah Taylor. I am leaning towards it being Eliza based on the oldest child's birth date and the marriage date that I have for John and Eliza. In the 1850 Laurel Co. Census there are many Tuttles listed. I am especially interested in Peter (b. 1815), Thomas (b. 1793), P. (b. 1832), Thomas J. (b. 1829), Adam P. (b. 1831), Joseph (b. 1833), and James M. (b. 1837 from Illinois). Any Tuttle researchers in this area please contact me. Thanks, Jennifer Bernheisel Ohio ______________________________
