Smith b. 1/28/1810 in Lancaster, Co. Pennsylvania (we think). He died in Indiana on 12/2/1878. He was married to Elizabeth LARUE b. 12/21/1821, d. 8/22/1886. They had nine children that they raised in (near) Montpellier, Indiana. Family lore has it that Samuel H. Smith's father or grandfather was a Hessian soldier during the Revolutionary War (more likely, his grandfather) who stayed in the USA. (Any comments re: possible changes in the surname fr. german to english?).

From: Robert Thomas Strong <rtstrongjr@pog.iquest.com> Subject: FAIRCLOTH; NC,USA>GA,USA; 1800-1850 Seeking information about the ancestry and descendants of "Laney Faircloth", who married "Hilleard" [Hilliard] Powell in Dooly County, GA, on 14 FEB 1826, according to their Family Record of marriages and births. Laney Faircloth was born in Screven Co., GA, in SEP 1804. POSSIBLE ANCESTORS AND RELATIVES: The following Faircloths residing in Screvens County, GA, were registrants in the 1805 land lottery [a substitute for the 1800 and/or 1810 censuses, which were not preserved]: "Athael" [Etheldred], Benjamin, John, Richard, Robert, Thomas. Land grants in Screven County were made to "Ethelfred Faircloth" in 1816 and 1820 and to Thomas Faircloth in 1818. Allen Faircloth was granted land in Laurens Co., GA, in 1824. The following Faircloths, age 21 or older, were residing in Hardy Griffin's militia district in Laurens County, GA, in 1820: Etheldred, Caleb, Sr., Robert, Davis (two ?), John, William, Peter, Richard, Benjamin, Caleb, Jr., Joshua, Thomas, Frederick, Sr., and Jr. Allen Faircloth was residing in Capt. Smith's district in Laurens Co. [A number heads of households with these same names appeared on the 1800 census of Sampson and Greene Counties, North Carolina.] Etheldred Faircloth was thus a resident of Laurens County, GA, in 1820, as were Hilliard Powell's parents: James and Celia [Hilliard] Powell. There were four Faircloth households enumerated on the 1820 census of Laurens County, GA. One given name [Etheldred] was not legible; the other three were indexed as Allen, Benjamin W., and Peter Faircloth. Only Benjamin was under age 45 in 1820. In 1830, both the James Powell and Etheldred Faircloth families were residing in Dooly County, GA. In 1830, Etheldred Faircloth of Dooly County, GA, was 50-59 years of age. The Ann Faircloth household was also enumerated in Dooly County in 1830. CONCLUSION: Laney Faircloth was probably a daughter of Etheldred Faircloth of Screven, Laurens, and Dooly Counties, GA. [There was another Etheldred Faircloth, Sr. and Jr., in Emanuel County, GA.] Etheldred Faircloth was age 55-59 in 1830, thus born 1771-1775. Unity Faircloth of Dooly County, GA, was probably his widow. Her [surviving ?] children in 1844: Eldred(ge) Faircloth, [Mrs.] Mary Head, Mary [m. Meeks?] By 1840 some of the Faircloths who were in Laurens County in 1820 appeared to have migrated to Baker County, GA. Enumerated in Baker County, GA, in 1840 were [Jacob, Mathew, and Thomas were listed successively], John, Caleb, Jr., [Peter, William, and Davis were listed successivley], Benjamin, and Allen. The eldest were Thomas and Davis, who were 60-69 years of age. Hilliard Powell and his wife, Laney Faircloth, possibly migrated to Baker County to join her relatives there. Mathew Faircloth married Clarisa Sasser in Screven Co., GA, 24 NOV 1823. Before 1827, William Faircloth married Sarah Sasser, sister of Clarisa Sasser. Descendants of these two Faircloth families, who resided in Baker County, GA, in 1830 and 1840, have been traced by Claudia Chitwood Weller in OF ONE DOZEN SASSERS. Mrs. Weller theorized that Etheldred Faircloth may have been the partiarch of the Faircloths who migrated to Screven Co., Georgia, before 1805. DESCENDANTS OF LANEY FAIRCLOTH POWELL: The Hilliard Powell family resided in Dooly County, GA, in 1830 and in Baker County, GA, in 1840. Both Hilliard Powell and his wife, Laney Faircloth Powell, apparently died in Baker County before the 1850 census, when their four children were found residing in Randolph County, GA. There appeared to be two additional younger children in this household in 1840 but their names do no appear on the Family Record. Dates of death and places of burial of Hilliard Powell and Laney Faircloth Powell are not known. Hilliard Powell appears to have died before the 1847 tax became due in Baker County in 1848. 1. Martha Jane Powell, born Dooly County, GA, 25 MAR 1828 m.(1) about 1845, _____ Adams m.(2) between 1850-1853, William O. Livingston 2. Nancy Sandling Powell, born Dooly County, GA, 4 JAN 1830 3. William Ball Powell, born Dooly County, GA, 3 APR 1832 m. 8 MAR 1868, in Bossier Par., LA, Nancy Jane Houston, d/o Samuel T. Houston and Esther Martin. The writer's descent from this family has been documented. 4. James Thomas Powell, born Baker County, GA, 13 MAY 1835 Descendants of Martha Jane Powell [Mrs. William O.] Livingston, Nancy Sandling Powell, and James Thomas Powell have not been traced by the writer. I would like to communicate with anyone who can provide additional information about either the ancestry or descendants of Laney Faircloth Powell or her presumed father, Etheldred Faircloth. Can anyone link these Faircloths to Faircloths earlier in North Carolina? I will gladly exchange data, including GEDCOMs, with anyone who can expand on the genealogy of this Faircloth family.

I am very interested in my ancestors. I already have about six or seven generations on my mother's side (her maiden last name is Hotz and my great great grandfather, Gustav Hotz was born in Zurich, Switzerland, and Hotz is very common in Zurich today.) But, on my father side, I'm stuck with only three generation. I don't know what is my great grand- father's name is. My surname is Sasser, and I was told that that surname is German, which means a person who lives at or near a creek where willow trees are. but, in the geneaology book, it says that Sasser is English with that same meaning. I'm confused. And, also, my father just told me that Sasser was shorted surname from Sasservish. I have asked my German friend about that Sasservish, but it's not found in German phone book in his location. I got some info that that surname is possiblity from Polish or Russian. (I'm very positive that I'm not Polish or Russian!!!) Sasservitsh (darn I forgot to type those 't' in that name!!!) could be a misspelling, it could be Sasserwitch, Sasservitch, Sasserwitsh, and Sasservitch. Anyone, who have some info about Sasser or those Sasser*it*h please email to me. My email is JLS0598@ritvax.bitnet or JLS0598@ritvax.rit.edu. Thanks so much!!!
