Palmer, Your Hattie Jane Sawyer was the daughter of John Asa Sawyer and Lavincey Jane Auld. The census taker must have mistakenly put James on the 1900 census. I found the following record in the Succession Book 11 Page 667. Before me, the undersigned authority, personally came and appeared J. A. Sawyer, Sr., who when sworn deposes and says: That he is 83 years of age, that he has been three times married, that he was married the first time to L. Jane Aulds, who died almost 40 years ago, and that by said first marriage 5 children were born, namely: A. B. Sawyer, Farmerville, LA,; Willis Sawyer, Colson, LA, Mrs. Ella Sawyer Chapman, Colsons, LA; Mrs. Hattie Sawyer Dean, Colsons, LA,; J. A. Sawyer, Jr., Colsons, LA; and of which five are living namely; and that his second marriage was with Mrs. Ellen McGough Sawyer, who died in the year 1924 and that by said marriage he had only one child, namely; Mary Sawyer Chapman, and the said child is now living, is a major, and married to W. A. Chapman, and the third marriage was to Mrs. Alice Hughest who is now living and undivorced from him. This was recorded on January 29, 1929. I found a marriage record for John Sawyer marrying Lavincey Jane Auld on December 31, 1872. There was also a record for John A. Sawyer marrying Elizabeth E. McGough on June 19, 1888. John Asa Sawyer was the son of Daniel Sawyer and Loucinda Thomas. In Daniel Sawyer's probate papers filed on November 14, 1856, it lists Daniel's children as Caroline E. by wife, Emely Fredrick, Willis 11, Asa 9, James 7, and Sarah E. Sawyer 5, by wife Loucinda Thomas, now deceased. When the final settlement of the estate was filed in January 1870, Asa signed as John A. Sawyer. Daniel died on October 6, 1856 according to the probate papers. Daniel Sawyer was the son of Willis Sawyer and Mary McQueen. Willis Sawyer's probate papers are on file in Union Parish also. There were 10 heirs to Willis' estate. Daniel, Thomas, Susanna, Annis Sawyer Goyne, Elizabeth Sawyer McQueen, Ally Sawyer McQueen, James J., Mary Jane Sawyer Taylor, John, and Samuel (my gggrandfather). Now on to Lavincey Jane Auld's family. Lavincey was the daughter of John Jordan Auld and Louisa Ann (LouAnn) Lee. Louisa Ann's parents were Martin Batte Lee and Lavincy Louisa Albritton. John Jordan Auld was the son of Elijah Michael Auld and Margarette Jane Ward. Elijah Michael Auld and Margarette Jane Ward were also my ancestors through their youngest son, Asbury Cason Auld. I have extensive information on the Auld line, back to James Auld who came over from Scotland. I will be glad to share that information with you also.
