I have been researching the Sawyer family in Essex Co. I still have not proved the connection to our Jennie Sawyer b 1828. From your information I can add. You list Truman as a cousin, in the home of Harry H Dudley. Harry was married to Roba/Roby Sawyer daughter of Chauncey Parks Sawyer with his first wife Lucena Dudley. According to information I received from Kathy Beals author of " Early Families of Unity, NH" from information she received from Mike Dudley after she published her book: James and Roxanne Nichols Dudley had eleven children. Alpheus, Hiram, Malinda, Ralph, Samuel. Sarah, Lucena, Ezra, Margaret, Mary H, and John. IN the 1880 census Hiram, 'father' is also in Harry's household. So I appears Roba's mother, Lucena , Hiram and Samual were siblings. Estella Dudley listed in Abel and Roxy Bailey home in 1880. Abel appears to be the next door neighbor to Chauncey P Sawyer in 1850. Chauncey's sister Mary married a Bailey and moved to WI. Rose Dudley in the household of Henry P and Ellen Sawyer in Ti. Henry P is the son of Chauncey P Sawyer and Martha Bigelow. Chauncey and Martha and their other son John are also in this household. Chauncey's first wife Lucena and their daughters Mercy/ Mary and Estella and Chauncey's Mother Polly are listed as buried in the Ironville cemetery in Crown Point. In Ingalls Cemetery in Ti are listed: Chauncey and Martha, His daughter Jennie and Albert J Gibbs, Henry P and Ellen Sawyer, and for the Dudley's: Ezra & wife Ella Huestis, John & wife Jane, Mary J Dudley and husband William Bradley, Sarah Dudley wife of Hibbard Ingalls and Alpheus. Also Nancy Rafferty. This is info from others, census and cemetery records. It is a starting point. However I can not document all of it. I have tried to contact Mike Dudley but the emails are returned. To me it appears the Dudleys and Sawyers are will connected. How does this fit in with what you have?
