Thomas Sawyer, of Lancaster - Shouldn't UNKNOWN PARENTS be locked until actual ones found??

Mails sent, edits done.

Hi Managers,

In regards to the family of Thomas Sawyer, of Lancaster & Agnes May Sawyer

Family history is that 3 Sawyer brothers came to Mass from Lincolnshire on a ship commanded by Capt. Parker, but no records in England have as yet been found, and there is no evidence in any wills reviewed so far in Mass that would support that story. However, DNA has shown similarities between Thomas and William, so they could have been brothers. The fact that Edward and Thomas arrived in Rowley near the same time and lived near each other, and William lived in adjacent Newberry is why people accept the story as true (but it hasn't been proven).

So it’s only circumstantial evidence that Thomas Sawyer, of Lancaster, Edward Sawyer, of Rowley and William Sawyer, of Newbury were brothers.

Should be go forward and disconnect them from each other until better evidence can be found?

Correction:

Possible parents: John Sawyer & Agnes May Sawyer

Mother of the three brothers is also seen as:

Margery Sawyer

With a story:

As a widow she sailed from England to America seeking to escape religious persecution leaving family and friends behind. She had three sons, Thomas, Edward and William who had already sailed to America in 1636, just 16 years after the "Mayflower" had arrived at Plymouth Rock. She never remarried and passed away in 1677 at the ripe old age of 91. (wab)
