Early roots of the ​​​​​​​SADLER branch of our family tree date back to 1702 with the birth of our 7X Great Grandfather, Henry Sadler, in Great Horkesley, Essex, England. Henry's father was Thomas Sadler (1676 - 1752) and his grandfather was William Sadler (1638 - 1717). Neither man ever left England.​

Although Henry died in North Carolina, he spent part of his life in the Sussex area of Virginia as evidenced by the Blackwater Quaker Meeting records which include his name.

The first member of the Sadler branch of our family tree to arrive in Perry County, Missouri, highlighted in red, was our 4X Great Grandfather, Zachariah Sadler.
