This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Sawyer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kRFBAIB/1144.1.1.2.2.2.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: We have his death certificate and it is the memorial card that tells us his birthdate and where he was born. The rest of the information was gathered from the 1850 census and some from family folklore. He died here in Vancouver, BC where the daughter had children and started a new wing to the Sawyer/Tennant family which originated in new York. There is a lot of information on the Tennant family but Fredrick seems to have dropped from the sky. I actually can't find where Fredrick Sawyer and Emma Georgiana Tennant married either... there is quite a few mysteries.
