Sayre(1830-1880) who was married to Katherine Anderson(1830-1912) had a daughter, Ruth Sayre (b.1865), who married Elias Alexander Slaughter, the son of Asa Slaughter and Elizabeth Dewees (daughter of Samuel Dewees and Edith Battin). Apparently the Dewees family had several connections to the Sayre's and this was another that just so happens links to Abel and Ruth (Parsons) Sayre.
