Hi Listers, I have know for years that I may be a Thayer and a Sawyer through the marriage of William Sawyer and Lydia Thayer in or around Boston circa 1800. An Evelina Sawyer married a Thomas Atkinson circa 1832 at Cambridge and had a still born child and then Henryetta Evelina Atkinson who married Edwards Whipple Green of Westboro and Worcester. I have copied a note and a short family history as I see it. Can anyone Identify William Sawyer? Lydia Thayer? or their daughter, Evelina Thayer Atkinson or her husband, Thomas Atkinson? Thanks so much! Jon Normandin Burlington, Vermont >Hi Carol, We know that Thomas Atkinson and Evelina Sawyer filed marriage intentions at Cambridge, Ma. October 29, 1832. We know they had a still born male child July 22, 1833 We know that Henryetta Evelina Atkinson was born February 10, 1834 at Cambridgeport? Ma? VT? NY? We know that Evelina had a relationship with Alexander Lorimer and had 5 more children. Helen Alexander Jr. Isabella Emma E. William Sawyer all sir-named Lorimer We know that the parents of Evelina Sawyer are William Sawyer and Lydia Thayer. We know that Evelina's last born was named William Sawyer Lorimer. Maybe we should search locally instead of globally. In the 1830 head of family census I find Two Thayer Families in Cambridge: One William Sawyer lives in Waltham in 1830 and has daughters that fit into the age bracket of Evelina. Maybe I should be investigating the Sawyer and Thayer families to see if Evelina is a daughter and if anyone in those families can trace her to Thomas Atkinson. I will post a note to both family lists at rootsweb.com and see what happens. Best.
