STEPHEN SAWYER. Thomas Sawyer, one of the founders of Lancaster, Massachusetts, was the emigrant ancestor of Stephen Sawyer, of Worces- ter, Massachusetts.

(II) Thomas Sawyer, born in England about 1616, settled first at Rowley, Massachusetts, about 1643. He removed to Lancaster in 1647, when there were but three permanent settlers there: John Prescott, Richard Linton and Lawrence. John Ball had ap- parently left the settlement after being there for some time in behalf of the proprietors. In May, 1653, Thomas Sawyer was appointed by general court one of the prudential managers of the town. They had full powers to allot land, govern the town and admit freemen. The other members of the board were Edward Breck, Nathaniel Hadlock, William Kerley, John Prescott and Ralph Houghton. Thomas Saw- yer was admitted a freeman 1654, and was a pro- prietor of Lancaster 1648. Naturally he became one of the leading men. He was a blacksmith by trade. His farm was on the present grounds of the Seventh Day Adventists, between South Lancaster and Clin- ton. There is a stone to mark his grave in the old graveyard in Lancaster. He died September 12, 1706. about ninety years of age.

There is little of interest on the records about Thomas Sawyer until 1676, when King Philip's war was raging and Lancaster suffered greatly. His son Ephraim Sawyer was killed by the Indians at Pres- cott's Garrison, now in Clinton. Sawyer's house was one of the garrisons, and he was in command there. It was just behind the house now or lately owned by John A. Rice, of Lancaster. It is interesting to note that other heads of Worcester county families of note, written about in this work, were in the same garrison. In 1704 the garrison was at the house of Thomas Sawyer, Jr., the aged father in com- mand. Sawyer had nine men under him: Andrew Gardner. Thomas Sawyer, Jr., Mr. Gardner, Jabez Fairbanks, ancestor of the vice-president; Nathaniel, another son of Thomas Sawyer ; John Harris ; Daniel Rugg. ancestor of Arthur P. Rugg and most of the Worcester county Ruggs; Samuel Prescott, ancestor of the historian and of Worcester families of the name. These families all lived on the west side of the Nashua river, at what is now called South Lan- caster. In the following year Thomas Sawyer, Jr. was taken captive, as will be related later. Thomas Sawyer. Sr. lived with his daughter, Mary Wilder, while Thomas was a captive in Canada.

Thomas Sawyer, Sr., married, 1648, Mary, daugh- ter of John Prescott of Watertown and Lancaster. (See Prescott family). His will is dated March 6,

1705-6, proved April 12, 1720. The children of Thomas Sawyer and Mary ( Prescott) Sawyer were: I. Thomas, born July 2, 1649. 2. Ephraim, born January 16, 1650-1. 3. Marie, born January 4, 1652-3; married - - Wilder. 4. Elizabeth, born January, 1654. 5. Joshua, born March 13, 1655. 6. James, born March 22, 1657. . 7. Caleb, born April 22, 1659. 8. John, born April, 1661. 9. Nathaniel, born Novem- ber, 1670, mentioned in father's will; three of fore- going not living at time father's will was made- Ephraim, John and Elizabeth.

(II) Thomas Sawyer, son of Thomas Sawyer (I), was born in Lancaster, Massachusetts, July 2, 1649, the first white child born there. His capture by the Indians forms one of the most familiar stories of the colonial period in Massachusetts. He was a man of fifty-five when the event took place. and was living in the garrison as described above. Queen Anne's war was making the lives of the colonists unsafe especially on the frontier. Indians made frequent attacks and massacred men, women and children. On October 16, 1705, Thomas Sawyer, Jr., his son Elias, and John Bigelow, of Marlboro, were at work in his saw mill when they were sur- prises and captured by Indians. The Indians took their captives back to Canada, and turned Bigelow and young Sawyer over to the French to ransom. The Indians kept the other Thomas Sawyer to put to death by torture. Sawyer proposed to the French governor that he should build a saw mill on the Chamblay river in consideration of saving his life from the Indians and giving the three captives their freedom. The French needed the mill and were glad of the opportunity. But the Indians had to be reckoned with. They insisted on burning Thomas Sawyer at the stake. They knew him and knew he was a brave man, not afraid of torture and death. The crafty French governor defeated their purpose by a resort to the church. When Sawyer was tied to the stake a French friar appeared with a key in his hand, and so terrible did he paint the tortures of purgatory, the key of which he told them he had in his hand ready to unlock, that they gave up their victim. Indians fear the unseen more than real dangers, and doubtless the friar took care not to specify just what he would do in case the auta-de-fe was carried on. Sawyer built the mill successfully, the first in Canada, it is said. He and Bigelow came home after seven or eight months of captivity. Elias Sawyer was kept a year longer to run the mill and teach others to run it. The captives were well treated after the French found them useful to them.

Thomas Sawyer married three times: First, Sarah -, 1670; second, Hannah -, 1672; and third, Mary White, 1718. He died at Lancaster, and his grave there is marked by a stone. He died September 5, 1736, in the eighty-ninth year of his age (so said), but was probably eighty-seven, if the records are correct. His will mentions four sons and two daughter. He bequeathed twelve pounds to purchase a communion vessel for the Lancaster church. Children of Thomas Sawyer were : I. William. 2. Joseph 3. Bazalies. 4. Elias. 5. Mary, married Joshua Rice, of Marlboro. 6. Hannah, married Jonathan Moore, of Bolton. 7. (perhaps) Sarah, married Rev. Nathaniel Whitman, of Deerfield. Massachusetts.

(III) William Sawyer, son of Thomas Sawyer (2), was born in Lancaster, where the family lo- cated during Indian troubles. He married, 1700, Hannah, daughter of John Houghton, 2d. They settled in Lancaster. in what is now the village of Bolton, in the southerly part. Their garrison as- signment near the centre was with John Moore, near Fryeville. He owned land in other places-a

hundred acres on the west slope of Gates Hill, now called Sawyer Hill, and one hundred and twenty acres on the east slope of the hill.

Deacon Josiah Sawyer, son of William Sawyer (3), born in Lancaster, 1714; married Sarah Fair- banks. a descendant of the Lancaster branch of he descendants of Jonathan Fairbanks of Dedham. ( See Fairbanks.) She was the daughter of Jabez Fair- banks, of Bolton, granddaughter of the famous Indian fighter, and brother of Esquire Ephraim Fairbanks of Berlin, Massachusetts, whose home in 1738 was on Wheeler Hill. Josiah Sawyer was one of the charter members of the Berlin church, and its deacon. His Bible and the stand on which it rested during his daily family devotions have been preserved by his descendants. The Indians were still a menace to the inhabitants of Worces- ter county towns when he was a young man. In 1735 he was living with his father at Bolton, but was clearing the land on Sawyer Hill and was pre- paring to make his home there. While returning home one evening afoot, as was his custom, an Indian waylaid hm, just as he was descending the hill north of Quaker meeting house. Sawyer dodged the upraised tomahawk and took to his heels. For- tunately for him, he was a good runner, for he was unarmed. The savage soon saw that he was outclassed and gave up the pursuit. By measure- ment next day it was found that one of the leaps, as the foot prints showed, was sixteen feet. That Jeap is famous in Berlin history.

He married Sarah -, who died 1762. He married (second) Mary Tooker. The Tooker fam- ily preceded the Chase family on the Acre in Clin- ton. She died March 25, 1799, aged seventy-one years. He died July 3, 1805, aged ninety-one years. He was deacon of the church from 1770 to 1799. The children of Deacon Josiah and Sarah Sawyer were : I. Josiah, born November 24. 1738, died young. 2.

Susan, born 1819, married Edward L. Brigham, of Worcester, in 1844; she died 1871.

(VII) Stephen Sawyer, son of Alvan Sawyer (6), was born in Berlin, Massachusetts, February II, 1813. He worked on the farm in summer and went to school in the winter, and obtained an excellent education. At an carly age he began to teach school, but preferred a mercantile life and went to work in the general store of Haman Hunt in Berlin. After a year there the outlook did not seem to him wide enough to accord with his aspirations. Most of his youthful friends elected to settle in their native town. Against much sin- cere and kindly advice he concluded that a larger field would be more promising to his hopes. In ac- cordance with this conclusion, which he has called an inspiration, he left Berlin in 1841 and came to Worcester, he at once found employment in the dry goods house of H. B. Claflin & Co., there.

At that time H. B. Claflin & Co.'s was the live- liest business house in the commonwealth outside of Boston. A few years later, when Mr. Claflin sought the larger field for business afforded by New York, Mr. Sawyer was retained as salesman by the succeeding firm of Hardon, Hunt & Brown, which was soon reconstructed under the title of B. L. Hardon & Co., with Mr. Sawyer as one of the partners. Through his connection with this well known business Mr. Sawyer became well known in mercantile circles; his ability was generally recog- mized, and he acquired a thorough knowledge of business that must have been a large factor in his greater successes in later life. He was a member of the firm for fifteen years, retiring in 1856 on ac- count of ill health. Like many others who have lived to an advanced age and won large successes in the business world, he met ill health in middle life and retired, built up his health and strength. and went back to work with renewed vigor and courage. He re-entered business in Worcester with T. H. Clark and E. W. Ball, in 1866, under the well known firm name of Clark, Sawyer & Co. They bought the stock of crockery, glassware, etc., of

267

WORCESTER COUNTY

John Firth & Co., and rented the store, their pre- decessors had occupied in the Flagg building, Main street. The business prospered and they soon out- grew their quarters, and they rented two large stores in R. C. Taylor's building on Main street, opposite the Worcester Common. A few years later Mr. Ball retired and George Richardson took his place in the firm. They had to increase their store space again, and moved to their present stores at 478 to 482 Main street. No mercantile house in the city has shown a greater and steadier rate of growth. They have constantly added to their store by taking rooms in the building above and adjoining and occupy more floor room and transact a larger wholesale and retail trade than any other house of the kind outside of Boston in Massachusetts. Besides all kinds of glassware, silverware and crockery, the firm deals in a mul- titude of housefurnishing articles, and has for years had a practical monopoly of the business in Wor- cester. They import extensively staple goods and novelties, toys, etc.

Mr. Sawyer devoted himself zealously to busi- ness. As head of the firm, for most of the time he was responsible directly for its great success. He enjoyed his material advantages modestly. He was elected a trustee of the Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank in 1867, and vice-president in 1876. His position in the business world was shown soon after the firm of Clark, Sawyer & Co. was formed, by his election in January, 1867, as a director of the Mechanics' National Bank, a posi- tion that he filled until his death in 1904. He was a director of the Worcester Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Worcester, elected December 8, 1886, and served in that office seventeen years, during ten of which he was chairman of the board. He was not especially active in politics. He was a Republican, and served the city as alderman during the administrations of Mayors Clark Jillson, Charles B. Pratt and Frank H. Kelley. He attended the Congregational church, and contributed liberally to its charities. He always took an interest in Berlin, his native place, and often expressed his af- fection for the town.

Mr. Sawyer died January 2, 1904, after a short illness. The estimation in which he was held gen- erally by his fellow citizens is perhaps best ex- pressed by extracts from the formal actions of the various boards of which he was a member. The trustees of the Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank in their memorial said: "His long business life of over fifty years in this city made him familiar with most of its leading business men, and his good judgment as to the value of property eminently fitted him for usefulness in this bank. He carried the burden of his years with the vigor of a much younger man and was rarely absent from the stated meetings of the bank." In the memorial of the Mechanics' National Bank the following statement was made: "He was a director for thirty-seven years. During that time he has taken an active in- terest in its affairs, and has been constant in his attendance at its meetings. While he was always careful and conservative in his views on the various questions that might arise, and in his judgment of men, he was at the same time willing to lend as- sistance and credit to those whom he felt were en- titled to receive it. He exhibited the same traits in his own affairs, and from a small beginning he built up a strong and substantial business. He was a gentleman of the old school, and his pleas- ant manners and genial ways made friends of those who met him or were associated with him." The directors of the Worcester Mutual Fire Insurance

Company expressed their appreciation of Mr. Sawyer as follows: "His business experience in Worces- ter, covered a period of about sixty years, during which Worcester grew from a town of some '6,000 inhabitants to a city of multiform activities, with a population of nearly 130,000, and he had much to do as a public-spirited citizen in furthering its growth and prosperity. We record our high ap- preciation of his loyalty to duty, his upright char- acter, his pure mindedness, his thorough integrity, his uniform kindness, his honest purpose to serve well his fellow men, and his rare example of carry- ing to ripe years the cheerfulness, courage and hope which pertains to young manhood."

He married Lucy Fairbanks Sawyer, daughter of Deacon Oliver Sawyer, granddaughter of William Sawyer, the son of Deacon Josiah Sawyer, whose family is given in this sketch. She died December 29, 1847. He married (second) Mary W. Bigelow, Worcester, December 2, 1857. His children were : 1. Lucy Fairbanks (by first marriage), born De- cember 29, 1847, resides in Worcester, unmarried. The children by the second marriage were: 2. Mary Sophia, born at Worcester, November 1, 1858, died March 9, 1859. 3. Harriet Louise, born in Worces- ter, September 26, 1862, died March 19, 1868. 4. Stephen, born October 29, 1868. 5. Grace May, born in Worcester, March 6, 1871, resides with her mother and brother Stephen at 31 Chestnut street, Wor- cester.

(VIII) Stephen Sawyer, Jr., son of Stephen Sawyer (7), was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, October 29, 1868. He attended the public schools of his native city, and graduated in due course from the Worcester high school with the class of 1887. He immediately went into the Clark, Sawyer & Com- pany store to learn the business and was soon after- ward admitted to partnership. The firm was in- corporated in 1890 under the laws of Massachusetts, with a capital of $100,000. During the latter years of his father's life the son assumed his share of the work in the store. The present officers of the company are: President. Charies A. Fletcher; treasurer, George Richardson; secretary, Stephen Sawyer. Mr. Sawyer has devoted his attention to business exclusively. In politics he is a Republican He is a member of Quinsigamond Lodge, F. and A. M., and of Eureka Chapter, R. A. M., and of the Tatassit Canoe Club.

Oliver and Hannah (Hunt) Barrett, of Bolton, January 10, 1764. The Barrett family has always been prominent in Bolton. William Sawyer settled on part of his father's homestead in Berlin, now or lately owned by M. Reed Tyler, known as Lakeside. He died February 28, 1822, aged eighty years; she died February 8, 1830. aged eighty- eight years. He was in the revolutionary war in Captain Benjamin Hastings' company, Col.
