Biography of Henry Sapp:
The earliest record that we have found of Henry Sapp (1775-1853) is the in 1820 Federal Census of Tattnall County Georgia. That census shows: Henry Sapp as head of household age 45+, 1 male age 10-16 ( William), 1male age to 10 (possibly Mark), 1 female age 26-45 (likely Mary),1 female age 10-16 (likely Rebecca), 2 females age to 10 (Ellen & Lucy). 1820 Census of Tattnall Co. Georgia p. 130. HH #303) We believe that this record is of the Henry Sapp (1775-1853) family based upon the children listed as being identical to the number of children Henry is known to have had and to Ceila Lee Sapp's statement in her Indian War pension application statmg that her husband, William Sapp, son of Henry Sapp, was from Tattnall County Georgia before he came to Florida. This same census also indicates that two members of the family were "foreign born not naturalized". This suggests that Henry and his wife, Mary, were not born in America.

On 12 December 1829 Henry Sapp bought Lot 71 in the 16th district of orignian Irwin, now Lowndes County Florida containing 490 acres from Andrew Williams. (Lowndes County Georgia DB E. p. 61). On 26 July 1830 Henry Sapp sold that same land to Ashford Parker, his son in law.

The next record we have is he is listed in the 1830 Lowndes Coujnty Georgia Census as follows:
Henry Sapp HH 50-60, 1 m 15-10( MarK), 1 f [40-50 ( wife Mary), 2 f. 10-15 (Lucy and unknown) and 1 f 5-10, (Ellen). The families of his son, William Sapp and son in law, Ashford Parker are enumerated on the next census lines indicating they lived next door. [1830 Census of Lowndes County Georgia. p. 86]

On 2 Apr 1837 Henry Sapp purchased 80.31 Acres from the Tallahassee Land Office. That land was located in Madison County Florida in the. W1/2NE of Section 12 in Township 2 N, Range 8E. On the same day he also bought 80.31 acres in the same section described as the E1/2NW of section 12 in Twp. 2 N, Range 8E. Then on 28 July 1838 he bought 40.15 acres from the Tallahassee Land Office described as the NENE part of Sect. 12 in Twp. 2 N, Range 8E. in Madison County Florida. Thus by 1838 he was established in Madison County Florida owning 200 acres of land new Cherry Lake in Madison County.

In 1839,1840, 1841 he served in the miltia as part of the Florida Indian War. He also applied for bount land due to that service.

The 1840 Census of Madison County Florida shows Henry Sapp HH 60-70, 1 m 40-50 (Unknown), 1 f 60-70 (wife Mary), 1 f 15-20 (Ellen) [Madison Co. FL Census, p. 36]

On 7 Nov 1844 Henry and Mary Sapp sold to Barton C. Pope the 200 Acres they purchased in 1837/38 in Twp. 2N, Range 8E, Sect 12. [Madison County Florida DB C p. 409]

On 26 May 1845 Henry Sapp listed as a voter in the first statewide election. [Michaels- Florida Voters in their First Statewid Election.p. 68]

On 31 Jan 1845 Henry Sapp bought 80 acress of land from Samuel T. Henderson known as the the E 1/2 of NW Secton 34, Twp. 2, Range 9 - 80 Acres [Madison County Florida DB D p. 4] This is likely the same eighty acres described in his 1847 will that he described as his land.

On 17 April 1847 Henry Sapp prepared his last will and testament.

We were unable to find the Henry Sapp family (or the Hugh Hadden family) in the 1850 Census of Madison Co. Florida. Several line by line searchs were conducted but these families were not to be found.

Henry Sapp likely died in January 1853 as on 17 Jan 1853 his son in law, Hugh Hadden and his son, William Sapp filed for probate, proved the will and recieved letters of administration. A transcription of the will and those court records is as follows:

On 22 Mar 1854 It appears that the exectors of the estate of Henry Sapp sold land to Benj. F. Wardlaw as recorded in Madison County Deed Book F, p. 53. The writer did not obtain a copy of that deed so does not know its content.

On 3 Nov 1859 Mary Sapp sold property to Nathenial Lovett as recorded in Madison County Deed Book G, p.298] This is likely land that was sold upon Mary's death and is the basis for her date of death as she was not found in the 1860 Census.
