John Sawyer (1648-1722) and John Sawyer (1647-bef.1705) are confused. The one born 1647 must have died in infancy, as the one born 1648 has the same parents. John Sawyer (1645-1688) is 1st cousin, although sometimes quoted as having same parents. Is it clear that any of them married Parrat, or that Mercy and Mary Parrat aren't the same?

Sawyer-497 and Sawyer-493 appear to represent the same person because: Although the birth dates differ by a few days, the same wife and same death date seem to indicate the same person.

Rowley birth records page 189 indicate the birthdate was 7 August 1648.

The mother that had been listed, Mary Peasley-7 was married to a different person, not to Edward Sawyer. She couldn't have been simultaneously having children with both spouses. Sources I reviewed showed that Edward Sawyer married a Mary Peasley born much closer to his birth year, and they came together to New England.

Please reinstate his mother as 15 was of marrying age then!

Sawyer-497 and Sawyer-493 do not represent the same person because: dates are different - more likely to be siblings.
