Hi Gang and Janet, My Sawyer line is direct from William Sawyer whom arrived in Salem, Mass. - and married Ruth Bitfeld. William help found the Town of (West) Newbury and there is a plaque there with his name on it. I, and my sister in law, drove to all the places that our line lived in about 25 years ago. In Newburyport we found a record that stated William came from Bedfordshire, Co. England. We tramp around on Sawyer Hill,Cemetary followed the dirt road and washed out bridge where the "Sawyer House" was and so on. Anyway, my line is thus; !. William Sawyer (Ruth Bitfield) 2. Lt. Samuel Sawyer (Mary Emery) 3. Samuel Sawyer (Abigail Goodridge) 4. Edmund Sawyer (Sarah Rowell) 5. Joseph Sawyer (Judith Kelly) 6. Joseph Sawyer (Ruth Page) 7. John Sawyer (Judith Copp--- who descends form the Copps who Cemetery is by "Old North Church) 8. Charles Sawyer ( Frances Green) 9. Charles Sawyer (Thelma Dove) and 10. Charles Sawyer and Noni----whom are old, but alive & kicking!!! If anyone is related to the "surlines", let me know. Still Digging, Noni Sawyer
