Oh yes, it has helped. I had not been able to connect Gaylon with my line until now. That being John Sawyers, son of David Sawyers, and brother of George W. John married Narcissa Wilson in TN around 1827. They did migrate to Hill County TX. I have lost all trace of John and Narcissa Wilson Sawyers. They not liking Hill County left. Many of the children stayed in TX. John and Narcissa were not young when their intentions were to leave TX. I was told this by an aunt but was just to young to remember where she thought John and Narcissa moved to. Forever grateful to you for this information. Gaylon now fits into my line.

If Gaylon was the son of George W. Sawyers and George W. was the son of David Sawyers, born 1722, and Elizabeth PAXTON, this is my line. Can be traced back to Norman French in origin. Had never been able to connect Gaylon to these Sawyers, so will just put him aside for now.
