Does anyone on this Board research or have info about Elkanah Sawyer,
born ca 1777, in Edgefield, S.Carolina. He married Mariam Belk, born
1780. I have names for twelve children for this couple. Their son
Wylie Sawyer, who married Sarah (Susan) Scroggin, moved to the area
that is now Monroe County, Alabama, probably by 1818. I am trying to
prove that my Robertson and Regan family were closely connected to
Elkanah's family in Edgefield, S.Carolina. I have been told that
they moved to Alabama together in a wagon train. I need
documentation.

There are several Elkanah Sawyers in this time period and they are
difficult to keep straight. I have "my" Elkanah as the son of John
Sawyer and Priscilla McPerhson?Keel Sawyer. John was born in
Pasquotuck County, N.Carolina. I don't know when the family moved to
Edgefield.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Freda
