SAWYER.
The name of Sawyer was numerous in B. abt. 1790 to 1810. Several large families of chil. were raised in town of that name at abt. that period. It is impossible from any data which has come into my hands to determine the relationship of the early members in B. They may have been brothers, but from the number of heads of families, marrying within a few years of each other, I would be inclined to the opinion that they were more likely the sons of two families, coming here at nearly the same time and settling. They were evidently all related and came from Newburyport and that vicinity.
1 Jonathan, b. Mar. 6, 1749, with his wife, Sarah, b. Nov. 4, 1752, set. in B., at the Harbor, before 1768. He died Oct. 21, 1809. He was clerk of B. from 1794 to 1806, and the most artistic penman that has ever filled the office. Their chil. were: Sarah, 1768; Phebe, 1770; Jonathan, Jr., 1772; Anne, 1775, m. Edward Emerson; Betsey, 1780, m. George W. Merrill; Clarissa, 1791, m. Amos Carlisle; Alfred, 1794.
2 Jacob Sawyer, who d. Mar. 9, 1821, and Elizabeth, wife, d. Nov. 7, 1813, lived at Sawyer's Is. He was brother to Jonathan. She was Elizabeth Herrington.
3 Allen Sawyer, who m. Sally Hodgdon, Edge., 1780, also thought to have been a brother to the two former.
4 Samuel Sawyer, nothing recorded of his fam. if he had one, built the first tannery in town, on the main, opposite Hodgdon's Is., and afterward sold to Thorpe Bros.
5 Aaron Sawyer, whose wife was Sarah, was brother to Samuel, but their relationship to the others unk. Chil .: Aaron, Jr., 1781, m. Nabby Kenney; Benjamin, 1783; Joshua, 1785; Sally, 1787; Jonathan, 1789; Jacob, 1791, m. Martha Linekin.
