Excerpt from A History of the Sapp Family
The definite verifiable history of the Sapp family in its differ ent branches begins about 1765 to 1775. From that time down the lines are definitely traceable and errors that appear are due to a fail ure of memory or a date entered wrongly. Previous to this time, however, all the connected history of the family is assumed. Facts on record such as wills, deeds, land grants, marriage licenses, etc., stand out alone and serve only to guide the searcher after truth in breaking new paths from one to another, and who shall say these paths are not correctly laid out? Given certain facts as premises, if we follow them logically who shall say our conclusion is wrong until he has facts that shall contradict it?
It is purely tradition as yet, that John Sapp came over from England with Lord Calvert in his second or third ship load of im migrants in 1650, but we have seen fit to assume it as a fact as it fits in well with what we know of the family. We must account for Sapps in different sections of the country as early at 1776 and we must account for two Sa'pps appearing on records as early as 1743. We stand willing to be corrected, but until some one can adduce proof against us or offer a more feasible theory, we are willing to accept this one we have assumed.
