(VII) Israel, son of Thomas and Abigail (Dodge) Palmer, was born at Bennington, Vermont, March 29, 1801, died at McGraw- ville, New York, March 29, 1870. He went from Bennington to Cortlandville, New York, in 1804, with his parents, who were among the early settlers of that section. He was a staunch temperance advocate and anti-slavery man and an ardent and prominent worker in both causes. His activity in the cause of tem- perance led to attacks of many kinds upon him and to much personal abuse. At one time his horse's tail was cut off and the har- ness and buggy top were slashed to pieces by those he was opposing in the liquor traffic. In the period before the war he was active as an Abolitionist, and was among those who constituted the so-called "underground road," by which escaping slaves were helped on their way to Canada. He was one of the founders of the New York Central College, the first educational institution of its kind where whites and blacks were educated together, and gave liberally to its support. At this college worthy students were permitted to work out their board and tuition on the col- lege farm. The old "Farm House," so-called, is still standing on Academy street, McGraw- ville, New York, and has remained in the hands of the descendants of Israel Palmer for fifty-two years, being now occupied by four of his daughters.

There is good reason to be- SAWYER lieve that the three immigrants of the Sawyer family, Edward, William and Thomas, were, as tradition tells us, brothers.
They were born in England and
came to America about 1642, all three settling first in Essex county. Edward Sawyer, born in 1608, married Mary -, and died in 1673, leaving one son, John, who was a set- tler at Rowley, and perhaps Ezekiel, who was killed in King Philip's war. William Saw- yer was a proprietor at Salem in 1642; he removed to Wenham, and thence to Newbury ; had eleven children.
(I) Thomas Sawyer, immigrant ancestor, was a yeoman. He settled first in Rowley. but in 1643 or soon afterward he located in Lancaster, Massachusetts. He took the oath of allegiance in 1047, and was on the list of proprietors of Lancaster in 1648. Ile was one of the first six settlers and was one of the pru- dential managers of the town in 1047. In 1654 he was admitted a freeman. Ilis house was on the east side of what is now the Main street at South Lancaster, and next south of the home of his father-in-law, John Prescott. He was one of the leading men of the town all his life. There were only five full-fledged freemen in Lancaster in 1654-Edward Breck, Richard Smith, William Kerley. John Whit- comb and Thomas Sawyer. He was a promi- nent member of the church, and held many town offices. During King Philip's war he left town with all the other survivors of the massacre, but he returned and helped to build up the town anew. He married Mary, daugh- ter of John Prescott. He died about 1719. His will was dated March 6, 1705-06. He be- queathed to his wife Mary; sons Thomas, Joshua, James, Caleb and Nathaniel ; and daughter, Mary Wilder. The latter testified that she had her father and mother during eight or nine months while her brother Thom- as was in captivity. Her name and that of her mother was spelled generally Marie, not Mary. Children : Thomas, born July 2, 1649: Ephraim, January 16, 1650-51. killed February 10, 1676; Marie (Mary), January 4, 1652-53: Elizabeth, January, 1654. died young : Joshua, March 13, 1655; James, men- tioned below: Caleb, April 20, 1059: John, April, 1661; Elizabeth, baptized January 5, 1663 : Deborah, born 1666, died young ; Han- nah ; Nathaniel, November, 1670.
(II) James, son of Thomas Sawyer, was born in Lancaster, March 22, 1057, and moved to Pomfret, Connecticut, among the first -et- tlers, where in 1709 he bought a mill privi- lege on a small brook running into the Quine- baug, known as Bark Meadow brook, and
1546
NEW YORK.
built thereon the first grist mill in the set- tlement of Pomfret. In 1710 the military corps was organized, and though he was about fifty-three years old he was elected cornet of the company, a distinction implying previous service. After that he was called Cornet in the public records. The company consisted of fifty men of all ages from sixteen to sixty, under Captain John Sabin. Cornet Sawyer was a selectman in 1714, and was elected Feb- ruary 16, 1714, on an important committee to locate the meeting house at White's Plain. in Pomfret. He is given as a resident of Pom- fret in 1731. He married (first ) February 4. 1678, Mary Marble, probably of the Stow family. She died at Pomfret in 1708, leaving four children. He married ( second) Mary Prescott, of Pomfret, and had seven children. Children: James Jr., mentioned below ; Ben- jamin, called a "first settler" in the early Pom- fret records ; Ephraim, had a grant in the ad- jacent town of Scotland: Captain Joseph : John, one of the first grantees of Reading, Vermont, in 1761, then residing in Pomfret. Connecticut.
(III) James (2), son of James ( 1) Sawyer, was of Pomfret, and in 1731 lived in the East Purchase.
(IV) Major James (3) Sawyer, son of James (2) or Benjamin Sawyer, was born in 1738, according to "Aunt Sally" (Sawyer) Post, of Goshen, Orange county, New York. and died in 1782. "Aunt Sally" lived to be ninety-seven years of age, and she was a granddaughter of Major James Sawyer. She said that he was born at the Drowned Lands district, known as Gardnerville, near Goshen, New York, and that he died there also. As the Stewarts and Ludlums live there, and as they intermarried with the Sawyers, this seems to prove that he did live there. She said that he was a young man when he died and that his wife had a hard time to support the chil- dren. He served in the French and Indian war and in the revolution. He is described as follows, on the roll of the French and In- dian war: "James Sawyer, carpenter, 5 ft. 71/2 tall, black hair, and in 1758 was a member of Capt. Peter Smith's Orange Co. company." When the war of the revolution broke out, he was living on his farm in the Drowned Land district near Goshen. His name. "James Sawer," is on the list for New York in the revolution from Albany county militia, Sec- ond Regiment, Colonel Abraham Wemple's
regiment. Captain T. B. Bancker's company. He was made a captain in Colonel William Al- lison's regiment. February 6, 1776, and Feb- ruary 28, 1776, he was appointed quartermas- ter with rank of major, being reappointed February 28, 1778 (see page 291, in "Arch- ives of the State of New York"). He was with his regiment in the Minisink campaign, and according to family tradition he was wounded at that time. He also served at the engagements of Fort Clinton and Fort Mont- gomery, October 7, 1777. From December, 1776, to April, 1778, the regiment was called into service twelve times and spent two hun- dred and ninety-two days in the field (see "Our County and its People." a memorial his- tory of Tioga county, New York, page 635). Major James Sawyer also was a member of the Goshen exempts ( in Vol. 4, public papers of George Clinton, first Governor of New York state, another reference is found). Ma- jor James Sawyer's will was proved in 1782 at Goshen, and in it he mentioned his wife Elizabeth, sons Benjamin, Moses, and Ma- thew, and daughters Sarah, Mary and Tem- perance. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. John Bradner. Her will was filed at Goshen, dated August 14, 1794. proved De- cember 25. 1802 ; she mentioned her sons, Ma- thew, to whom she gave his father's sword, Moses and Benjamin, and daughters Mary and Temperance and granddaughters Eliza- beth Jones and Elizabeth Knapp. Children : I. Temperance, married, December 26, 1780, Nathan Jones. 2. James Jr., served in the revolution and was taken prisoner at the en- gagements of Forts Chester and Montgomery, October 7. 1777, and never returned ; supposed to have died while a prisoner of war; his name is in the "History of Orange County," among the names of those taken from Colonel Allison's regiment in the engagement, spelled "James Sardyer." 3.
