Dear Vietta, It's funny you mention poring hot coffee into a saucer and blowing on it. My Mother and Dad as well as my aunts and uncles did the same... thanks, Don Sasser ---------- From: VKeith3711@aol.com Sent: Saturday, May 31, 1997 4:38 PM To: SASSER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: SASSER-L About our ancestors' name being Sasser. On January 17, 1841, when my gggrandmother Malinda "Lindy" and Millington (Milton) B. Jones received their marriage license in Laurel County, KY, her name was recorded "Saucer." That intrigued when I first saw it, because when I was a little girl living on Beech Creek in Clay County, the old folks used to pour their coffee out of the cup into the "sasser." They blew on it to cool it down, and then drank from the sasser. I'm sure those of them who could write would have spelled that piece of dinnerware "saucer." Vietta ------------------------------
