My ancestor Fred Dohse (Dose,Doose) bought a 3 acre parcel of land from Davis in the town back in 1873, and was wondering if it might be the house that is pictured on the WSH Societies website under Middleton.

Many thanks, Joe, for transcribing passages from the Dane County history pertaining to James, Thomas and Homer Sawyer. Historical biography is so much more interesting than census records. If you or anyone reading this is connected to these families, I would be happy to share what information I have and a few photographs.

There is a biographical sketch in the "History of Dane County, Wisconsin-1880", under the 'Town of Blooming Grove' for James P. Sawyer, farmer, Sec.36; P.O. McFarland; was one of the first settlers in the south part of the town of Blooming Grove; he was born Dec 3, 1823, in Windsor Co, VT; came to Wisconsin in September, 1845, and lived in Walworth Co till the 1st of January, 1846; then came to Dane Co and located on his present farm, where he has since resided; his father, Thomas Sawyer, came in October, 1847, and died May 20, 1848. Mr Sawyer was married, in 1856, to Margaret J. Evans; she was born in Knox Co, Ohio, Feb 11, 1848; daughter of Sidney Evans, who came to Wisconsin in the summer of 1846. Mr Sawyer has no children of his own, but has an adopted daughter, Daisy Myrtle. Mr S. is a Republican, and has 172 acres of land. -----Original Message----- From: widane-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:widane-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of C.

My monthly appointments to Madison for state research has been very helpful. I use the Norwegian website you mentioned along with Family Search through the Mormons. I also have microfilms of Norwegian church records at the Family History Library near me which has been a great resource. Good luck with your genealogy pursuits. Lynn

Alleen-Marie Thank you for your message. Thomas Sawyer died in Blooming Prairie, Dane County in 1848. His wife, Clarissa Bigelow, died in Reading, Windsor County Vermont in 1835. I have no record that Thomas remarried. Cemetery records indicate that Lucy B. was Jerome's only wife. Their first three children died. Bertha and Benjamin were the fourth and fifth children born to this couple. The line I am tracing is through Benjamin's daughter, Lura Sawyer, b. 1890. All descend from Joseph Sawyer of Pomfret CT. who was an early settler of Reading, Vermont. I am sorry to say, I have not encountered Prescott Sawyer in my research. If you have any Reading connections, I may be able to help since I live in Vermont. Best regards. Constance

Seeking information re: the family of Thomas Sawyer of Reading, Vermont who migrated to Dane County with his children circa 1842.

Hi, I have many SAWYER family members from Dane Co. WI. I am descender from Prescott SAWYER, who went to Green Co, WI in the1840s. I am curious to know about your information regarding Thomas A.'s death and burial. Eleanor Grace Sawyer's "Sawyer Families II" on p 201, gives his death as May 1848, Reading, VT. These mysteries always seem to pop up, demanding answers. Sorry that I don't have any info about Lucy B, but have you checked VT Vital Records? Do you think it possible that Lucy was a second wife? The above source gives a child, Bertha J, born ca. 1862, in MN, which would have made Jerome Osgood 40 years of age.There is another child mentioned, Benjamin J., born ca. 1866 in MN. E. G. Sawyer cites this information as having been taken from the Bigelow Genealogy. Don't know if this helps any, but good luck. Alleen-Marie Coke C.

Someone actually did find his death record but thank you for your offer to help. Since you said you do Norwegian research, you probably know about this site, but just in case, the Norwegian digital archives site has a large number of digitized parish registers and other things.. a great resource for Norwegian genealogy.
