This is an part of a article that was written by Douglas B Sherman. Doug is a member of out list. I will forward you query to the list. Perhaps Doug or someone can answer your query better than I Thanks, Don, Sasser %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% "The dates of death for William and Martha SASSER are unknown. One may speculate that they died between 1810 and 1820 on the basis of the Federal Census records. Since Henry SASSER had received property from his father in 1801, it is doubtful that there would have been any sale of estate upon his death. While it is true that a William SASSER died in Smithfield in March 1815 "of the prevailing Epidemic or Camp Plague," he was not Henry SASSER�s father. This William SASSER was instead the son of Elizabeth BLACKMAN, former wife of the deceased Josiah SASSER of Wayne County. Furthermore, one of the buyers at Edith SASSER's estate sale in 1816 was a William SASSER, which could suggest that Henry SASSER�s father was still alive at that time." ---------- From: ANN SUTTON Ables Sent: Saturday, November 15, 1997 9:44 AM To: Don Sasser Subject: Re: Hi Ann I am a Sutton lister, but I hope I am a Sasser too.
