    3. Hi Gang, Here's some answer's to all. SAWYER HILL is just west of the town of Newburyport.---- It is lovely hill and cemetary, with a lot of our early Sawyer's buried there. The oldest grave we found was Lt. Samuel Sawyer who died 11 Feb, 1718 at the age of 72 years.--------------------I have a copy of a old map that shows where most of the settlers lived, and when I got home, (here in Palmdale, Calif.), I found that the road that runs by this Hill, going west, past the creek and old bridge that was in ruins, was the place of the first William Sawyer's home----and we miss it !!! My hubbie lineage is this; William Sawyer b. 1613 d. 1702-----2nd Lt. Samuel Sawyer b. 1645 ----3rd Samuel Sawyer-----4th Edmond Sawyer---5th Joseph Sawyer-------6th Joseph Sawyer and with 7th John Sawyer, who was born in Newport, N.H in 1771 the Sawyer's begin their western migration------ending here in California just prior to WW2. Allan the new Sawyer lineage is from "Bitfied Sawyer"----which is very interesting. I had copied from a old history from a hand-written book some of this lineage, found it mentioned that they think that our first William Sawyer may have been from the family of " Wil Sawyer" radicals of Cromwells days in England. Ok----I'm off to a square dance ! Noni Sawyer
