Jim, I can't help much in solving the Elizabeth Sasser puzzle, but here's what I do know. The first wife of my dad's uncle Clabe Jones (b 12/25/1872), s/o Thomas Jefferson Jones & gr s/o Malinda Sasser Jones (w/o Milton B. Jones) was Susan D. Smith (b 4/23/1874), d/o Thomas Smith & Elizabeth Sasser. They married 1/8/1892 in Laurel Co, KY, at the home of Thomas Smith. According to Clabe's daughter Martha from his 2nd marriage who is still living in Manchester, Susan's grandfather was "Uncle Bart" Sasser, Malinda's brother. My data show that her mother was their daughter Elizabeth (b. 1843). Also my data show that another of Bardin & Pherbe's daughters was Mary Jane. Vietta ------------------------------
