Robert, If I get a chance sometime, I'll look at some general history books on migration patterns through colonial North Carolina at the library. I've only scanned them in the past, so I can't give an educated report at this time. This discussion makes me want to get back to my local library again (Durham, NC), because I remember reading some book about a year ago that listed a Fredrick Sasser possibly coming to NC from MD. I think he may have been in a MD army regiment. Best wishes, Doug Sherman ------------------------------
