Seeking family of origin info on my great-great grandfather, JOHN BARNUM SAYLER. He was
born on January 2, 1862 in Indiana, probably Warren, Huntington Co. I do not know his
parents names nor those of any siblings.
It is possible, however, that he might have descended from SOLOMON SAYLER (b. 1825, d. AFT
1898) of Whitley Co. IN. Solomon migrated to Whitley Co. IN after 1860 from Preble Co.
OH. His wife was Catherine Brandenburgh. I am particularly interested in their sons -
JOSEPH B. (b. 1846) and JOHN (b. 1853).
My JOHN BARNUM SAYLER left Indiana for Arkansas sometime before 1883. He ultimately
settled near Fort Smith. There, he married MARY ELIZABETH GRAY of Georgia and fathered
five children: RICHARD MADISON Sayler, HATTIE Sayler JAMISON, AL HENRY Sayler, MAUDE
Sayler McCARTY, and MATTIE F. SAYLER. He and his wife both died at the home of their
daughter Maude in Warsaw, Benton Co. MO - Mary on May 8, 1934 and John on March 25, 1940.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
