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
Has anyone tried the Island of Wight, Virginia? Other related families seem to have been from there.
