To the group: This is a collection of some information I gathered at the library a few weeks back. It lists some Sassers in NC who had (or might have had) Revolutionary involvement. It is not exhaustive by any means. 1. NC Pension Roll (Copied from the US War Dept., Report on Pensions, 1835) County: Johnston Co. Name: Abel Sasser Rank: Private Sum Received: -- Description of Service: NC Militia Commencement of Pension: Mar 4, 1831 Age: 71 Laws under which they were formerly inscribed on the Pension Roll: Act of Mar 18, 1818. [Side note: Abel Sasser had property adjacent to William Sasser (Henry's father). If the age listed above is at the Commencement of Pension, then Abel was born ca. 1760. Could he have been William's brother?] County: Columbus Name: Benjamin Sasser Rank: Private Sum Received: $54.15 Description of Service: NC Militia Commencement of Pension: Mar 4, 1831 Age: 79 Laws under which they were formerly inscribed on the Pension Roll: Act of Mar 18, 1818. From "Roster of Soldiers From North Carolina in the American Revolution" by the NC DAR, 1932, pp. 440 and 426, respectively. 2. "Roster of the Patriots in the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge" by Bobby Gilmer Moss, 1992, pp. 187-188. Moss says the battle took place on 27 Feb 1776 and lasted only 10 minutes. It was described as "one of the first clear cut victories for the American rebels." This was an attempt by the British to establish a foothold in NC. a. Benjamin Sasser and Joel Sasser of Duplin County *may* have been in the Battle. Both served under Capt. Wm Taylor and Col. James Kenan. Kenan was in the Battle. b. Stephen Sasser of Dobbs County *may* have been in the Battle. He served under Capt. Wm Fellow and Col. Abraham Sheppard. [Unfortunately, I did not note which of his commanding officers was in the Battle, but one of them was for sure.] Doug Sherman dougsherma@aol.com
