    3. Dear Gina and others, Henry Sasser (1784) was married first to ANN BOYETT. They had at least four children: Elisha, Stephen, Allen (female) and Elizabeth ("Lizzie"). After the death of Ann, he married ELIZABETH whose maiden name may have been GRANT (not confirmed by me yet) with whom he had at lreast 11 children, including LEWIS. My problem so far in properly identifying LEWIS is the fact there were THREE differenc Lewis Sasser's shown on the 1860 census of Wayne County all born in the early 1850's. With three of them of about the same age, it is hard to tell in later records "which is which". What we need is to locate descendants who KNEW kinfolk with personal knowledge of Lewis and his parents. Henry left a will when he died in 1872, naming most of his children by his second wife. You said you were going to Lenoir County. If you want more on HENRY, then go to the Wayne County courthouse instead. That is where his will was probated and where you will find his estate records and deeds on him. The Wayne County cemetery survey does not show a tombstone for him so his grave is unmarked. I have no idea of the name of the cemetery where he is buried but I have been told he is buried in the New Hope community of Wayne County. More on this later. Robert Earl Woodham
