Dear Gabriel, SARAH ELIZABETH SASSER was the daughter of JOHN DALLAS SASSER and SARAH ANN ELIZA HALL. JOHN DALLAS SASSER was born 23 Dec., 1857 in Henry County, Alabama and died 2 Nov., 1912 in Geneva County, Ala. He married Sarah Ann Eliza Hall, daughter of JOHN HALL about 1879 in Geneva County (marriage records in Geneva County for that period were destroyed in a courthouse fire). They had at least nine children. Sarah Elizabeth was the oldest. JOHN DALLAS was the son of LEWIS MARION SASSER and his wife MARY CATHERINE (don't know her maiden name yet). LEWIS MARION SASSER was born in 1838 (also listed as 1832) in Georgia. His wife MARY CATHERINE was born in 1841 in South Carolina. He moved to Henry County, Alabama sometime in the 1850's and first appears in records there on the 1860 US Census. At that time, Henry County included most of what is now Houston County, so I don't know whether he was living in what is now Henry County or part of Houston County. He later lived just south of the "arm" of Houston County which juts west of Dothan and just inside of Geneva County. Both Lewis M. and Mary Catherine died sometime between 1880 and 1900. His son John Dallas and his wife are buried at Bay Springs Baptist Church, which is located in northeast Geneva County, near the Houston County line. His parents Lewis M. and Mary Catherine MAY also be buried there but their graves are not marked with a tombstone. A street which runs several miles on the western side of Dothan is named "John D. Sasser Street" for him. Dothan is the largest city in southeast Alabama. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you who the parents of LEWIS M. were as yet. I am convinced that Lewis M. was a grandson of LEWIS M. SASSER, who was born in Wayne County sometime in the 1770's and died in 1823 in Pulaski County, Georgia. He had two sons by his first marriage: JOHN and NOAH as well as a daughter; and five sons by his second marriage. Your Lewis M. was apparently a son of either JOHN or NOAH. His widow, Elizabeth and children settled in Stewart County, Georgia, which borders Alabama, sometime before 1850. His youngest known child, LEWIS HENRY SASSER, moved to Henry County, Alabama sometime in the 1850's at the same time that your LEWIS MARION moved there also. To complicate matters worse, there was ANOTHER LEWIS SASSER, who died about 1840 in Twiggs County, Georgia. His widow, Jane, and her children also settled in Stewart County, Georgia. More later... Your cuz, Robert Earl Woodham
