Obediah, first son of Anthony Sarratt, married Sarah Bonner, daughter of Bryant Bonner and Annie Harris, who lived near Grassy Pond, Spartanburg County, S. C.
Obediah and wife settled first upon Sarratt's creek near Grassy Pond. Sarah, his wife, died there September 24, 1843, aged 48 years, 1 month and 11 days, and was buried there. After her death Obediah Sarratt purchased lands in York County, S. C., esta-blished a Ferry on Broad River and followed farming and other industries. He accumulated a considerable amount of lands, negroes and other personal property. He was a very perservering man, with large ideas. But for the disaster of the Confederate cause, and.much would scarcely have satisfied him in lands. He was an able advocate of the Confederate cause, and much of his means went in that direction. He was very liberal to the poor. He died at his home near Buffalo church, York County, S. C., Jan. 28, 1880, aged 81, and was buried in the grave yard of that church.
There was born to Obediah and Sarah Sarratt ten children. These were AdaLine, Emaline, Minerva, Mascellany, Lawson, John, Fidelo, Alie, Camillus, and Columbus.
