I have forwarded Miller's note to the group... He is now a member and you my get in contact with him via SASSER-L@rootsweb.com ---------- From: C. S. Miller Sent: Thursday, May 29, 1997 10:47 PM To: Don Sasser Subject: Sasser Family of NC I don't know whether or not you rec'd my memo of yesterday. Our server has been irregular lately. I am descended from the Sassers of Burke and Screven County, Georgia, in particular, a Thomas Sasser, whose father William was from NC. In Georgia, some members of this family carry the given name Howell. Do you know why this could be? Are they originally German, or is it an English name? Where were they from. Someone has told me to look in Wayne Co. records. I believe I read that there were 2 or 3 Sassers at the Battle of Moore's Creek. Above Thomas Sasser may have immigrated via Duplin County to GA shortly (within 15 years) after the Revolution. A book, somewhat full of errors, has been pub lished on his descendants. One additional Sasser name in Burke County, GA, Britton Sasser. Any idea where this given name as well as Howell could have originated? ------------------------------
