This Micajah Lassiter, Sr., was part of the third Lassiter generation in America. According to the book The Saga of the Family and Descendants of David Vestal Henley and Eleanor Lassiter of Randolph County, North Carolina by Eleanor Parker Bell, Micajah bought land that became Lassiter's Mill and the surrounding neighborhood became known as Lassiter Community. He, his sons and some sons-in-law farmed many of the land in what is New Hope Twp. His family was active in Oak Grove UMC and other churches. Micajah also served as a Justice of Peace in 1811. He was the was the only child of Josiah and Sarah (Hill) Lassiter. However, he himself had 21 children with 2 wives according to his tombstone, though looking at the far right, Laster Family Genealogy mentions 3 wives.
NOTE: Don't get confused the Micajah Lassiters. The Micajah Lassiter to the right is father of both Micajah Lassiter, Jr., and Hill Lassiter (among 19 others). Hill Lassiter had a son named Micajah Benson Lassiter. So, there are 3 Micajah Lassiters: the one to the right - Micajah Lassiter, Sr., his son Micajah Lassiter, Jr., and his grandson via son Hill, Micajah Benson Lassiter.
