My sister, Michele received this from a Sasser in Denmark. Any comments? Hey Michele Thanks for the mail. Yes you are right. I am from Denmark, so I do clearly understand why you cannot read my homepage. I am 17 years old and I study at at college in my home-town, Herning. I think it is very interesting that you try to put "the old Sassers" into a family tree. I have talked to my grandfather Axel Sasser, to get some further information, and he was able to give me some facts. He is born and grown up on the Danish island Bornholm. He said that there exist two runic stones near the chirch in the town Hasle located on Bornholm, and one near a chirch on an other Danish island called Taasinge. On these gravestones there is descriptions of some old Sassers. He also said that there exists an old proverb which says: "A Sasser is a person who pursues and kills" Probably the name Sasser is a very old name from Scandinavia, which includes Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. The name also appears in the following variants: Sasserson (sounds Swedish) and Sassersen which is Danish. Axel Sasser had originally the name Sassersen, but he changed it many years ago. So the cusin of my father has kept the name "Sassersen". I hope that this can be valuable in your research process. You are welcome to write if you collect other pieces of information which are interesting. I would be glad if you will send a message about where you live etc. Here you can see where Bornholm Taasinge and Herning is placed in Denmark. Good Luck! Dennis Sasser

THE 47TH KENTUCKY MOUNTED INFANTRY (The following information has been excerpted from "Union Regiments of Kentucky." The 47th Mounted Infantry was organized under an act of congress that authorized the governor to organize 20,000 troops for the defense of the state. The people of the mountains of KY were mostly Unionists, and their area, which was poorly protected, was exposed to inroads from SW VA. Most of the men were mustered into service at Irvine, KY, on Oct 5, 1863. The rest at Camp Nelson in Dec, 1863, & Jan, 1864. The officers instrumental in recruiting this regiment were Andrew W Clark, Alfred C Wilson & Thomas H Barnes. On Nov 6, 1863, before it was fully mustered into service, the 47th was included in the military organization of North Central KY, under the command of Gen S S Fry, whose headquarters were at Camp Nelson. On Nov 25, 1863, Gen Boyle sent the 47th to Big Hill along with several other units. The 47th was later included in the organization of the Army of the Ohio. On Dec 31, 1863, it was under Col Andrew H Clark, in Gen S S Fry's command. It remained so during that winter, doing duty in scouting by detachments through Eastern KY. In the organization of the Department of the Ohio, on April 30, 1864, the 47th was under Major Barnes in a brigade with other KY regiments that was commanded by Col John Mason Brown. The regiments were all in the division commanded by Gen Hobson. In June, 1864, the 47th was under Gen Hobson at Paintsville when Gen John Morgan came into KY with the object of destroying the KY Central Railroad, and then the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. Morgan came through Pound Gap, which is in the extreme eastern part of the state. He had passed Gen Hobson's forces and made his way toward Mt. Sterling before his purpose was known. Once Morgan's target was known, Gen Hobson hurried to Lexington in person by way of Cincinnati, hoping to reach Lexington in time to organize a force there before Morgan could reach that part of the state. However, Gen Hobson and 300 of his troops were captured at a place called Kellar's Bridge near Cynthiana. In the meantime, the troops Gen Hobson had left in eastern KY were hastening quickly toward Lexington under Gen Burbridge & Cols John Mason Brown, Charles S Hanson & others. They encountered Gen Morgan shortly after Gen Hobson's capture & severe fighting took place on June 12, 1864. Morgan was defeated and all the goods he had captured were retaken. Morgan was then pursued out of KY, through the mountains and across the Cumberland River. The 47th under Col Clark bore an active part in this endeavor. After Morgan had been pursued out of KY, the 47th was stationed at Camp Nelson under Gen S S Fry where it continued to protect the state. In the summer of 1864, the father of Col Clark, who was provost marshal of Owsley, was murdered by a band of the enemy. Col Clark petitioned petitioned to be allowed to use his regiment to bring the murderers to punishment. In Sept, 1864, it was on the line of the KY Central Railroad. On Dec 26, 1864, Companies A, B, C, D, E, F, G, & H were mustered out of service at Lexington. Companies I & K were mustered out on April 12, 1865. Veterans were transferred to Battery E, and to the 4th KY Veterans Infantry. (Continued Part 2...Personnel Roster)

I posted this yesterday, but I never received a copy and was wondering if there was a problem with the mailing list. I also caught a glaring error on some birthdates, so I am reposting it with corrections. Today (11/7/97), I received some new information from Rita Samocki on Eli Sasser, the son of Adin Sasser. I am most confused about Margaret Sasser. According to Rita, she is listed as Margaret Elizabeth Sasser, and she was married to John Cobb. I have also heard it suggested that Eliza Jane Sasser was married to John Cobb. I have other information to suggest that Margaret "Nannie" Sasser was married to Charlie Attaway. I have pictures of both couples, and I don't think the women in the pictures are the same person. In letters I have from Rachel Sasser to Mahala Sasser Cheek, she often mentions Charlie and Nannie. Does anyone know what the real story is? In addition, Rita lists Eli as marrying Nicy Hampton on May 18, 1907, in Laurel Co., KY. Did he make a special trip back for this? She is remarried to James M. McBee on 18 May 1909 and they appear in the 1910 Laurel County Census as being married for 1 year. Does this imply that Eli died between 1907 and 1909? I have also heard it said that Eli married Nicy, but no one before has given a date. If anyone can help me with these questions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Today, I received some new information from Rita Samocki on Eli Sasser, the son of Adin Sasser. I am most confused about Margaret Sasser. According to Rita, she is listed as Margaret Elizabeth Sasser, and she was married to John Cobb. I have also heard it suggested that Eliza Jane Sasser was married to John Cobb. I have other information to suggest that Margaret "Nannie" Sasser was married to Charlie Attaway. I have pictures of both couples, and I don't think the women in the pictures are the same person. In letters I have from Rachel Sasser to Mahala Sasser Cheek, she often mentions Charlie and Nannie. Does anyone know what the real story is? In addition, Rita lists Eli as marrying Nicy Hampton on May 18, 1907, in Laurel Co., KY. Did he make a special trip back for this? She is remarried to James M. McBee on 18 May 1909 and they appear in the 1910 Laurel County Census as being married for 1 year. Does this imply that Eli died between 1907 and 1909? I have also heard it said that Eli married Nicy, but no one before has given a date. If anyone can help me with these questions, I would greatly appreciate it.
