She does list parents on both. Are either of these two the one you search for?

Ronald, do you have a source for this information? Wonderful if it gave place names in Virginia. This is pretty much "old family stories" and I researched in Richmond years ago trying to locate a William Sawyer there that would fit the story and dates. Found a couple but were accounted for. So the mystery continues. Arcell Sawyer

Hi Freda, we have corresponded before.....and If you would show me proof of the Hancock-Wm. Sawyer connection, I would jump for joy! I have been unable to find this connection in North Carolina in the counties I have researched. You are correct in the Keel surname, discovered by another Sawyer researcher and the Keels lived in Onslow County, N. C. Evidently Lewis Powell (I believe him to be connected with the Moses Powell/ Conner/Williams lines) married the widow of Samuel Keele (Kelly pronounced). She was the daughter of Thomas Johnston/Johnson in Onslow County. Strangely enough there were Keiles, Nathaniel and John if memory serves me at all, and a Thomas Johnsons in the Pasquotank area very early but do not know if related to the Keeles and Johnsons in Onslow County. For right now I do not know where this John Sawyer originated. John Sawyers wife was Priscillar Keele and this is the close relationship of Lewis Powell and John Sawyer that had many buffaloed, as Lewis Powell was John Sawyer's step father in law. It gets confusing when you catch glimpses of the Sayer surname very early in Pasquotank area. So for now, it remains a puzzle. If you can pull a rabbit out of a hat.....and have a reference of William and Elizabeth Hancock.....as I said, it would make my day....and possibly year!

Surnames: Sawyer Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kRFBAIB/1471 Message Board Post: This obituary appeared in the Indianapolis Journal on May 24, 1902 on page 4. Death of Rev. Sawyer Something About His Active and Varied Life. He Was a Graduate of Princeton and Union Theological Seminary—A Familiar Figure. Rev. Samuel Sawyer, so well known to many people in this city, died at his residence, 325 North Alabama street [sic], about 3:30 yesterday afternoon after being confined to his house about three weeks. He was simply worn out. Few men have had a more active and varied life. He was born in Middleton, N. Y. June 20, 1821. He was graduated from Princeton and subsequently from the Union Theological Seminary of New York. His first pastorate as a Presbyterian minister was in Trenton, N. J. He went to East Tennessee in 1850, where he had charge of a school. In 1855 he debated the slavery question with Parson Brownlow. Soon after he left Tennessee to accept the presidency of a Presbyterian school known as the College of Indiana. When the war broke out in 1861 the school had 485 students, eighty-five of whom went with him into the service. He became chaplain of the Forty-seventh Indiana, Col James R. Slack. In the army he had a varied experience. When the Union forces captured Memphis it was determined to revive the Appeal, which had been abandoned by its publishers, and use it as an organ to arouse a Union sentiment in the locality. Chaplain Sawyer was selected for the responsible position of editor. The story of his experience would be full of interest. General Sherman, then in command at Memphis, had an idea that he could improve the character of the paper, so he wrote the chaplain a letter, which he (Sherman) deemed important enough to put into his memoirs. It is rather interesting reading. General Sherman was a frequent visitor of the newspaper office. The newspaper was a paying investment for the government. Chaplain Sawyer after editing the Appeal for a year was appointed commissioner to lease the abandoned plantations in Arkansas, Alabama, and Louisiana. The war over, Mr. Sawyer became president of a school in East Tennessee. After a few years he went to Missouri and edited the Chillicothe Journal, which had a large circulation. In 1873 he became pastor of a Presbyterian church in East St. Louis, and subsequently he was over a church in New Jersey. He came to this city about twenty years ago to become the pastor of the Eleventh Presbyterian Church. During fifteen years or so he had been a missionary under the Presbyterian churches of this city. Mr. Sawyer was a man of both physical and intellectual activity. Without display, he was a scholarly man and a much abler man as a preacher than he got the credit of being. As a pastor for those needing consolation he was most acceptable. Into the sick room he took light and cheerfulness; indeed, his religion was of the cheerful variety. He was chaplain of the George H. Thomas Post for years, where he was generally beloved. Those who have attended the funerals of veterans where he has officiated have been touched by the spiritual quality of his prayers. “Brother Sawyer took us very near to God in that prayer,” was the remark of a well-known veteran as he passed out from the service. While poverty seemed to be his lot and in his last years his environment seemed narrow and harsh, he was the most cheerful man one would meet in his walks. He never had a complaint to make and he never criticised [sic] his fellows. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon. His son, H. W. Sawyer, of Trenton, Mo., is here and his daughter, Mrs. L. P. Plank.
