    1. RE: Sasser Migration to Oklahoma
    2. Don Sasser
    3. Your question has long intrigued me for a long time. I wish I had asked my Dad, Aunts and Uncles. But I did not, so now I have to research it. 1. My Sasser's first went to Marion Co. AR. 2. Henry B. Sasser's brother Joseph Sasser went to Marion Co. AR. in the spring of 1880. 3. Henry B Sasser went after 1877. His son Thomas Aden Sasser probably went with him as did his brothers Andrew Jackson Sasser, Henry Lee Sasser, James Nelson Sasser his sisters Elizabeth Sasser, Rebecca J Sasser, Mary Ellen Sasser, Mylisa Jane Sasser. And I suspect that your Eli Sasser may have been through there. 4. In Marion County at that time was: 4.1 Jesse Franklin Horner < Neal married into the Morrow family, his second marriage. He had a son by his first Marriage named George Neal Horner who married my aunt in OK> 4.2 Albert Benjamin Cicero Morrow < Married my great aunt Mary Ellen Sasser in AR.> 4.3 Thomas Aden Sasser's Mother-in-law and Father-in-law :Edward McCurry McCarty 5. Henry B Sasser moved to Christen Co. MO in 1898 6. James Nelson Sasser moved to Mo in 1899 7 Henry Lee Sasser moved to Christen CO. MO between 1901 and 1905. 8. Rebecca J Sasser moved to Christian CO., B4 December 09, 1887 9. Mylisa Jane Sasser She was in OK B4 August 10, 1901. I do not know if she was in MO 10 Thomas Aden Sasser went to Luther Ok February 1912. 11 James Nelson Sasser went spring 1912 12 George Neal Horner came to OK and married my aunt Alma there. He had a brother in Edinburg Hidalgo Co. TX. He went to Edinburg, TX around 1927. In 1928, Alma worked for a man named LLoyd Greever. In 1928, her sister Ola came to Texas for a visit and married LLoyd Greever on May 24, 1928 at Methodist Ch Edinburg Hidalgo Co., Texas. 13 Mary Ellen Sasser and her husband Albert Benjamin Cicero Morrow moved to Christain Co. MO in 1905. they moved to OK between 1912 and 1917 14 Thomas Aden Sasser came down to (probably the wedding) in 1928. He did not stay here. But bought a house that he sold to LLoyd and Ola. He returned to OK and farmed just east of Luther OK on HWY 66 15 Eventually, Floyd ( my Dad), Emil, Bertha, Alma, and Ola lived here in south Texas . One Brother lived in East Texas. The remaining 6 remained in OK. Gertrude being one of the. She is the one that is 100 years old that I sent the newspaper article on. Earl Sasser, Sue Lynn Sasser-Williams and T. Smith will have to fill us in on Campbell William Sasser, Leslie Earl Sasser, James Nelson Sasser. The note that Robert Woodham sent out is probably the basis for all this moving around. here it is Our Sasser kin migrated to Oklahoma for the same reasons that other folks migrated to all the other states--"new" lands. Throughout American history, our population has been growing. Until after World War I, we were an agricultural nation which meant that new generations had to get out and find land of their own to support their families. Since families were mostly much larger in pioneer times, that meant the settled land soon filled up. Under the old system of primogeniture, the oldest son inherited all the land and the younger sons were given money and other property. Younger sons had to head off to the frontier to look for "new" lands. Could the other SASSER's on the list post how there ancestors moved from KY to USA?
