p 57 John, William, Lewis, Josiah Sasser

Page 57 (page 366) John Sasser of Johnston Co., NC deed of gift to his brothers, William Sasser and Lewis Sasser, for land situated in Wayne Co; his father, Josiah Sasser, deceased, had devised this same land to his son, Josiah Sasser, witnessed by Betsey Sasser, Feb. 23, 1803.

Meaning:The deed abstract describes a complex land transaction that clarifies the estate of the deceased father, Josiah Sasser (d. 1782):

1. Father Josiah Sasser (Sr.) devised (left in a will) a specific tract of land to his son, Josiah Sasser (Jr.).

2. The son, Josiah Sasser (Jr.), has since died or conveyed the land, and it has fallen into the hands of his brother, John Sasser (likely via inheritance or purchase).

3. John Sasser then deeds this land (which he possessed, but which was originally intended for his brother Josiah) to his other brothers, William and Lewis.

This 1803 deed confirms that the grantor, John Sasser, had brothers named William, Lewis, and Josiah (who was the son of John’s father, Josiah).
