They have listings of books available. Some info dates to 1650. Well worth looking into. My line went to IL, but I know other lines went to TN, TX, SC, etc. It would be great if we could all work on finding the original immigrant of pre-1650. Please post if you score a huge success with the book.
I have researched the early Sawyer's in the Chowan and Pasquotank area from about 1680 to about 1750 and I have pulled a lot of info from the archives. I am wondering if you are talking about the John Sawyer line in Pasquotank, that went into I believe Illinois. I believe an Elisha Sawyer was in this line. Sorry my computer crashed and everything is on disc. I have not worked on any eastern N. C. Sawyers for a few years. I am looking for a connection for a John Sawyer who is found in Onslow County 1750s or so with Williams and Powells. Also I believe in Duplin County, but records may be found in other counties. Of course these Powells probably do trace back to the eastern N. C. areas. Have not gotten that far as yet.
