Don, In looking at my message titled "Mt. Ararat" (sent 13 October 1997), I noticed something that did not seem right. January 31, 1891 was of course not the date of birth of William Franklin Sasser. Instead, this was the date of his marriage to Mary Ellen Humfleet (whose birth date was 11/25/1873, not 1/25/1873, as I miscopied it in that message). I do not have the date of William Franklin Sasser's birth. Sorry. By the way, I notice that Mary Ellen Humfleet and her husband are not included in the list of children of Arthur Humfleet in "Sassers of laurel Co., Ky" (the second page of p. 6). I also wanted to add that Joyce Cottingim might be able to tell you more about the list of people in the Mt. Ararat Church, as she grew up practically in the shadow of the church. Her family lived up the branch that runs into the main creek at the Mt. Ararat Church. Daisy Cobb lived further up that branch, as did--among many others--Wallace Sasser and later his son Tom Sasser (the "attorney from Sled Road Branch" that I keep promising to write a profile of). When I was down there in August, my brother Michael and I drove up that branch with our father to have him show us the site of Uncle Wallace's house. We wanted to get a picture, especially for Sue Lynn and other descendants of Uncle Wallace who have not been there, but did not have a camera with us. We will try to do better next time. During my trip down there in the spring of 1997, an elderly relative gave Michael and me a picture of some unidentified people. Somebody later identified the people in the picture as Uncle Wallace Sasser, his second wife, Cora "Cory" Perry Sasser, and their son Champ (all of whom I mentioned in an earlier message). I want to have some copies made. Let me know if you would like to have one. There is a good road now up the branch I am referring to. It goes all the way from Highway 1803 at the Mt. Ararat Church and over the hill to Highway 229, not far from Mt. Olivet. I have referred to this as Sled Road Branch, but this term is sometimes used for a smaller tributary of that branch ( also called Billy's Branch). Perhaps somebody on the list can tell us which is correct. I suspect that--especially for those who have lived in the Plains for generations--my way of referring to people living along creeks, branches, and hollows (or hollers) must seem quaint. But that is an important part of our ancestral culture in the Knox/Laurel area. Glenn ***************************************** Glenn E.
