  • Notes 
    • Her name is also spelled Hassin and Hessen. Although her name indicates that she may be related to to the German Hessian soldiers who came to America during the Revolutionary War, her name is more common in Scotland than Germany.

      After her husband's death in 1887, Sarah made her home with her eldest son
      William until her death in 1891 at the age of 82 years. That would place her
      birth in 1809. Info from Lee Family History and IGI.

      Spelling is found on IGI as Hassen and Hessen.

      An IGI birth record indicates that Clara Lehman was a relative. Perhaps
      Sarah's mother's maiden name was Lehman. Another IGI record spells Sarah's
      middle name Thorsa.

      According to the 1880 US Census (transcribed and indexed version) her father
      was born in Ireland. The name sounds Germanic but a complete search of the
      1880 US indexed Census yielded 152 individuals who were born in Ireland with
      the name Hassen (or variants Hassin, Hasson, Hassan.) A similar search for
      individuals born in Germany only yielded 29. Thus, we are confident that her
      father's birth place was Ireland. This census also indicates that her mother
      was born in Pennsylvania.

      The 1880 Census gives her age as 70. If that is exact then she was born in
      1810. According to this census her husband, Alexander, was then 64, six years
      her junior.However, Lee family records provide a 1814 birthdate for him. If
      that is true then he was only four years her junior.
