Mike Sellers, I noticed you have a Rachel SAWYERS. Could she be a SAYERS? Are they the same name? I have a Jane SAYERS, who was married to James BUCHANAN. They were the parents to Col. John BUCHANAN, my ancestor. There are SAYERS men mentioned in Chalkley's Chronicles, but I'm not sure who my Jane's parents are. Do you know who your Rachel's parents are? Thanks, Velma

Hi Velma, I rarely rule anything completely out, but I'm very doubtful that Rachel SAWYERS was SAYERS. According to what I have, Rachel's parents were James Sawyers and Rachel Ball, and she had 4 other SAWYERS siblings: John, Sampson, Rebecca, and James, Jr. I could be incorrect on the names of the above, but I'm 99.9% sure they were SAWYERS and not SAYERS. Interestingly enough, one of William and Rachel (Sawyers) Crawford's sons, John, married a Margaret BUCHANAN, the d/o Andrew BUCHANAN and Joanna HAY, on August 9, 1798 in Augusta County. Any relation or connection to your Buchanans?
