    20 Apr 1791: Partition of real estate, to Abigail Sawyer her thirds; to Cornelias Sawyer son of deceased a double share; to Asa Whitcomb Esqr & Bettey his wife daughter of the Deceased; to Israel Moors and Catherine his wife Daughter of the Deceased; to Silas Houghton Jun'r heir of Silas Houghton & Eunice his wife Deceas'd Daughter of the Deceased; to Joseph Sever & Abigil his wife Daughter of the Deceased.

  4. ↑ Thomas' father's first wife Mary died at an undetermined time between 1709 and 1715, so it is impossible to know who Thomas' mother is. It is assumed until evidence is presented, that Mary is, influenced by the fact that she had a brother named Thomas.
  5. ↑ Source:White, Almira Larkin. White Family Quarterly, Vol.3, p. 113, says Thomas m. 1733 Anna Ross. Anna, w/o Thomas Sawyer died in 1753, aged 73, so born about 1680, so this seems extremely unlikely. Further it overlaps the marriage with Abigail White which appears to agree with leaving a widow named Abigail.
