"[Christian Jr.] and his wife were buried on their old plantation knownas the old W. B. Dasher place about four miles south of Springfield;graves are marked. The early manhood of Mr. Dasher was spent in Savannahwhere he was a tailor by trade. He evidently lived there until after hismother's death in 1806 when he returned to Effingham and began life as aplanter. He was Sheriff of Effingham County two terms, 1811-14, 1816-18.He was also Justice of Peace in the 11th district, Effingham County,1819-1821, and served a term on the Inferior Court bench.

Velaria (ed. - spelling varies) Ann Dasher was the fifth generation ofher family in Georgia. The Dasher family from which she descended came toGeorgia in 1734. During the spring of 1734, Martin and Lucy ( ) Dasherlanded in Charleston, South Carolina along with a large group of Germanprotestants. They were met by General James Ogelthorpe who led them to apoint about 25 miles north of the city of Savannah. Here these Germanprotestants founded the city of Ebenezer and attained the group name thathas lasted throughout the years, "the Salzburgers".

The Salzburgers, as they became known, were actually Germans whoseancestors belonged to the Archbishopric of Salzburg, then the mostwestern district of Bavaria, but now a province of Austria. Because oftheir protestant beliefs, they had been forced to seek refuge from thepersecution of the Catholic Church and moved to the valleys and alpinepasses in Tirol and Salzburg. In this area of present day Austria theyenjoyed about fifty years of peace. However, in 1729 Leopold, Count ofFirmian and Archbishop of Salzburg, Began a campaign to reduce all hissubjects to the Catholic faith. By 1732, thirty thousand protestants hadbeen driven from their homes to seek refuge in the protestant states ofEurope. Most of the Germans who later came to Georgia had sought refugein Augsburg. In May 1733 an invitation was sent through the LutheranChurch of Augsburg for 78 persons to sign up for residence in the colonyof Georgia. Each person would receive free transportation to the colonyand 50 acres of land plus support until a first crop could be laid by.Every place was soon taken and the group left for America via Rotterdamand London.

The Ebenezer settlement was very successful and soon the entire area,which is today Effingham County, was thriving with German immigrants.Martin and Lucy ( ) Dasher lived in Ebenezer and reared their familythere.
