Never herd f this book by Fred Sawyer. What the name of the Tittle please.. Shannon Sawyer << I have been told that the main difference between her book and Fred Sawyer's is that Eleanor's book contains referenced sources wheras Fred's book does not and has a lot of unsubstantiated guesses and errors in it. I would never use the Fred Sawyer book for anything other than a guide for further research, not as a source for any genealogical data. >>

Re Eleanor Sawyer's encyclopedic work, I hope someone can help with the "William of Reading" problem. A kind lister passed on to me the information that Eleanor Sawyer wrote that she could not determine the parentage of William Sawyer of Reading. He is my ancestor and I'm wondering if anybody has established a link between him and any of the other progenitors. William of Reading was born 28 Jan 1707/08 in Reading, Middlesex, MA; married Margaret Wood, b. 1707, on 6 Jan 1729/30 in Reading. Their son Jonathan, b. 1739, d. 5 March 1823, married Susannah Flint, b. 30 Aug 1741, d 12 Aug 1819 on 15 November 1764 in Westminster, Worcester, MA. Their son Jacob, b. 15 June 1772, d. 15 Jan 1852, m. Polly Rice, b. June 1778, on 25 Aug 1801 in Westminster, Worcester, MA. Their daughter, Mary Almira Sawyer, b. 13 September 1814, m. on 9 September 1835, my great-great grandfather , William Chamberlain Jackson. If anyone has solved the "William of Reading problem," I would love to hear from them. If anyone on this list has any Jacksons, I'd like to correspond with them, too. Thanks.

Hi All, My goodness, my goodness-------there are a bunch of you Sawyer's lurking out there !!!! I recieved 23 emails in all----am going to try and answer them this way. When I saw "Jill's " date of 1613, I knew it was William Sawyer (of Newbury) who arrived in Salem, Mass. in 1642. My hubbie is a direct decsendant, and I have all kinds of data on the family, in fact till I got side track on other lines, I was gathering data on all his children and grand-children ( and yes Bud, there is a lot of proof !!) I ALWAYS like getting other Sawyer lineages, copy and file them. But, I know almost noting of the "Southern Sawyer's". For you that are related to William, try to go to Bosten, then Salem and pick up the trail of William as he went north, first to Wenham, then up to Newbury where there is a monument with his name on it, to West Newbury (get a map at Newburyport Historical Library-----where they have a painting of one of the Sawyer's)------go up to Sawyer's Hill Cemetary----------- Gosh, its such a wondiful history------ I went with my sister-in-law first------later years with my hubbie and friends-----so much to see. Keep in touch, Noni Sawyer of Palmdale, California

--WebTV-Mail-31549-50 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Hi Noni, I saw your reply to Jill and wonder which William Sawyer is being discussed. My husband is descended from William Sawyer and Ruth Crookum/Crookham through their son, Edmund. I have searched for years for William's parents with no success. Do you know who they are? We are fortunate (?) enough to have 3 Sawyer lines in this familly. Haven't found a common ancestor as far back as 1790. The other 2 lines are 1. Mathias Sawyer married to Fannie Williams and possibly the son of Elisha. 2. Thomas Sawyer, wife unknown, but the father of Archibald (Civil War soldier). Thomas is possibly the son of Pharoah Sawyer and Dorothy Riggs. As you can see, we need all the help we can get. Thanks for any information you may have.

Hi Noni, I have been having a problem on my Sawyer side. My grgrgrandmother was Susan Sawyer born Montreal Que. but lived at the Hogansburg reservation after she was widowed. She had married an Andrew Warner of which I have nothing, he died and she remarried Frank Robideau. I think Frank may be a brother to my grgr grandfather Joseph Robidoux from Que Canada. Sorry I am talking about Susan being born like in 1824 time period. I constantly check and recheck the Upstate New York HOgansburg Reservation and Canada.

She was the daughter of Joshua Sawyer and Laura Catherine Guy. Joshua's parents were Stephen Sawyer and Mary Scrutchfull. Stephen's father is still yet to be proven, but is thought to be David Sawyer of Tipton Co., IN. I don't have much on this Sawyer line. Jill Watters Rains

Funny thing is that I have Sawyers on both sides of my family. My gggrandmother on my father's paternal side was a Sawyer also. I am very much a Sawyer! Jill Watters Rains

I still think in terms of Native Americans as those who were born here. I think the writer of the letter was thinking in terms of American Indians who were born here. That leaves all the rest of us out. Sign me "Caucasion Native American" Sam

In a message dated 99-11-29 19:36:13 EST, [email protected] writes: << Are there any legitimate Sawyers on the Native American Rolls? Sandra Sawyer Banks >> In my Native American line I have a Rhoda Gertrude Sawyer who married David John Fraz(i)er Watters, their son, Joseph Raymond Watters married Dora Fields, and she was the great great granddaughter of Chief Richard Fields of the Cherokee Nation. That's the long way around for sure and not legitimate in any way shape or form, but a connection nonetheless. :) This above is from my father's line. My mother was a Sawyer, and I haven't seen much, if any, Native American blood in there so far either....yet. Her line comes from William Sawyer, 1613, of England. Jill Watters Rains Gadsden, AL

Would like to have info from the subject Land Record CD on this individual. Thanks. Jo Sawyer

Looking for the line that Arthur Sawyer was connected with in Pasquotank area 1770s and probably another Arthur Sawyer previous to this one. Thank you for a reply
