Our Sappington family history, in the United States, starts with Nathaniel Sappington/Sappenton. His name appears in 1695 on a tax list for Sepesutia Hundred in Baltimore County, Maryland. Nathaniel married Mary, maiden name unknown. They had four sons and possibly a daughter: Nathaniel II, who married Margaret Hartley/Huntley; James; Thomas, who married Mary Rutland; John, who married Sarah Sherbert;and Sarah, who married a Sefferson or Jefferson. From our early history, starting in Maryland, the Sappington family and their descendants have spread across the United States. From the formation of our country to the present day, we have been there to defend this Nation's right to freedom. We have had family members present as new Territories opened up, and as States were added to the Union. The history of our family, is truly a history of the growth and development of this great Country. I maintain a website titled "Sappington's of America" which is hosted by MyFamily.com. If you are interested in being added as a member please e-mail me direct. Let us work together in recording our history for future generations. Mary Ellen
