Palmer, Welcome to the list! I spoke with you a few days ago about the Sawyers. I checked on the 1900 Union Parish Census. Harriet Jane Sawyer was shown in the household of James A. and Elizabeth E. Sawyer. Her birthdate was shown to be January 1886. Siblings were shown as James W born 7/1880., Jordan A. born 3/1889, and Mary L born 10/1890. There was another sister born 10/1883, but I couldn't really make out her name. James A. was shown to have been born in LA in January 1849. Elizabeth E. born in LA in April 1852. Both of their parents were shown to have been born in AL. James may have been the son of Daniel Sawyer. I will try to check that out more for you. I plan on making a trip to Union Parish Courthouse either tomorrow or Monday. Daniel Sawyer's estate was settled there. I descend from Daniel's younger brother, Samuel Sawyer. I'll let you know what I find out.

Is there anyway to determine if the A in the head of the Sawyer families name stood for Asa? Could the girl born in 1883 have been Ella, or Eller? Can you find out if Elizabeth was Janes A.'s second wife? Thanks!
