I agree with John, this may well be a variation on the Sapsford surname
which may derive from the old name for Sawbridgeworth. There were
Sapsfords in Hatfeld Heath & Hatfield Broad Oak, not far from
Sawbridgeworth also in White Roding, all during the 16th century.
The ERO's online catalogue SEAX has details of some of them.

but they might be brothers or cousins.
