Henry Sapp

M, #12634
Father*John C Sapp b. 13 Oct 1804, d. 10 Apr 1896
Mother*Marium Sapp b. 16 May 1807, d. 28 May 1862
Residence* Henry Sapp lived at Ashland, Boone Co., Missouri: Henry is son of Mezzy and John Sapp, and needs confirmation that Marium and John Sapp had a son Henry.1 
Birth* He was born David Sapp, [djsapp1@mchsi.com] believes there is no Henry. He said:
First, to your question on the Henry Sapp mentioned in the "History of the Sapp Family" as a son of Mezzy and John Sapp and living in Ashland [Boone co., MO] ca. 1910 -- this reference appears to me to be wrong based on the following:
Like you, I have never found anything [else] that connects a Henry Sapp to the Mezzy and John Sapp family. In addition, the 1910 census of the entire state of MO has only two Henry Sapps in it, one in Boone co. and one in Jasper co. I have not checked the one in Jasper co., but the Henry in Boone co. was Henry William Sapp (22 Sep 1867 - 13 Jun 1948) s/o Christopher J. and Margaret Jane Feree Sapp. Since Mezzy died in 1862, she clearly could not have been this Henry's mother. In addition, this Henry was proven as the son of Christopher Sapp in Christopher's will, wherein Henry was the adminstrator.
I have the ability to dig into the "Henry" character a bit more if there is something especially critical about him to you, but I simply think the history is wrong. Notice that the history did NOT list any of the other numerous and prominent members of the Mezzy and John family -- that also tells me that whoever told the authors about Henry was off base.
