w TN The following is from Elizabeth Cate Manly: Benjamin Wasson, b. 1822,
is believed by Mr. Owen Wasson, of Dayton, to be the son of Edward Wasson, who
m. Sarah Chapman, and lived in Rhea Springs, Rhea Co. The Wassons were French
Huguenots and some of them are still prominent Rhea Co. citizens. (Trying to
contact Mary's and Benjamin's descendants, I called a Benjamin Wasson, listed
in the Spring City, Tn. telephone directory in 1969. He courteously told me
he was a black man! Elizabeth Cate Manly)
