My grandfather, Asa Jordan SAPP was born in 1849 in either Caldwell or Claiborne Par. (His older brother, John M. SAPP was born in Minden ca 1837, but the family were in Caldwell by 1850. Can't ID them in 1840, so don't know where they were.) I do not know the name of Asa's father, who was dead by 1850; Asa's mother's name was Clarinda, surname unknown, but probably married Asa's father in Claiborne Par. ca 1835. Besides John M. and Asa, they had Nancy SAPP and Catherine SAPP, whom I have been unable to find marriages for, therefore unable to trace. In Mar. 1850, Caldwell Par., Mrs. Clarinda SAPP m. Wm. JENKINS. By him she had two sons; she was dead by 1860. Several SAPP families were in Claiborne by 1830, but I cannot positively single out the correct one. Would like to exchange information on these families.
