Dixie, After posting my corrections to your post the other day, I realized it might have come across as being heavy-handed. I wanted to let you know I wasn't attacking you in any way. There's a lot of good stuff in article, and I only wanted to correct the misunderstandings that people have about John Sasser, Sr., William Sasser, and Henry Sasser. I made those very same mistakes when I first started researching the Sassers in Johnston, Wayne and Dobbs Counties. I spent a good year in the archives in Raleigh collecting data before I could begin to make sense of it all. I recently put up a post listing 5 William Sassers in NC between 1733 and 1820 so folks could see how easy it would be to confuse them. I have a question about the following quote in the article: > Son Eli b. 1849 married my mother's Aunt Mary Tuttle; they had 11 children; Mary > Tuttle Sasser died in the late 1880's and Eli Sasser re-married and > moved to Oklahoma. Adin died in 1869, age 53. Do you know if Edith Asher Gray was the one who referred to Mary Tuttle as "my mother's aunt?" I know this compilation is 14 years old, but I was wondering if you had any further information on Edith. I am a descendant through Eli's daughter, Mahala, and I am trying to learn more about Eli's other children and when Eli died. I'd also like to know to whom he was remarried. Can you help me here? Thanks, Doug ------------------------------
