MARY2 SAYRE (DANIEL1) She married JOHN OWEN. <snip> I'm not sure what you mean. I do not own the Sayre book, but it is available on-line at Heritage Quest. I have accessed the book again, and find the following: Banta, Theodore Melvin, Sayre family : lineage of Thomas Sayre, a founder of Southampton; New York: (1901), page 68 Sarah [not Mary] Sayre, daughter of Daniel Sayre (who was possibly the son of Samuel Sayre), and Rebecca Bond, married John Owen, a weaver of Elizabeth, N.J. John Owen's will was dated 21 Mar 1761; proved 6 Jun 1761 [NJ Wills, G 399], and in it he mentions 6 children: Mary, Rebecca, Hannah, Sarah, Daniel and Jedediah. No dates of birth/marriage/death are given for any of them. The line is not carried forward. Since you provided no dates or location in your query, I have no idea if this is a match (or even comes close). Regards, Pam Sears
