To: Sasser-L, More information from Johnston Co. NC. WHITFIELD, BRYAN, SMITH, and RELATED FAMILIES Book two Bryan Smith Compiled by Emma Morehead Whitfield (B 8) ELIZABETH BRYAN (William, Needham, William) Elizabeth Bryan was born May 2, 1751. She married (1) on Dec 10, 1770, in Johnston County, NC, Col. Josiah Sasser, of Wayne County, NC; (2) Col. William Blackman, in 1784; (3) Probert Collier. In 1843 when ninety-one years of age, she moved with her sons to Oglethorppe, GA. When Dobbs county, NC was divided and Wayne County was formed in 1779, the Act of Assembly provided that the first court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions should be held in January, 1780, at the home of Josiah Sasser on Little river. The oldest and probably largest clearing then in Wayne county was this farm of Josiah Sasser. In January, 1782, the court was held at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Sasser when the will of Josiah Sasser was proved and Mrs. Sasser qualified as his executrix. So we judge he probably died late in 1781 {foot note: Col. Josiah Sasser was wounded during the Revolution. (Hist. Of Georgia Biog., IV, 68. See also Daniels, history of Wayne County,)} (B 54) 1.
