Does anyone have any of this information?
I am attempting to find information about a Nathan Sawyers, who married Elizabeth Roberts
in Johnson County, Indiana in 1840. They resided in Morgan County, Indiana and had four
children that I know of: William, Eli, Jemima and Eliza. Apparently Elizabeth died soon
after the 1850 Census. I find that Nathan Sawyers married Jemima Roberts on August 12,
1853, in Morgan County. However, Jemima (Roberts) Sawyers married Joshua Boardman on May
24, 1854, in Boone County, Indiana. (I do not know if these are the same people or
different people with the same names.) About 1857 in Indianapolis, A James (or John)
Wesley Sawyers was born -- to Nathan Sawyers and Jemima Roberts. There must be more than
one Nathan Sawyers, and probably more than one Jemima Roberts (she is in my line). I
believe that Elizabeth Roberts and Jemima Roberts were sisters, both daughters of William
and Jemima Roberts who first came to Morgan County from Kentucky and than moved to Johnson
County. Jemima was born !
in Morgan County about 1834. Elizabeth was born in Kentucky about 1822.
I will appreciate any help I can get with this problem. If I have any information that I
can share with you, I will be happy to do so.
Thank you.
