| WHY I AM INTERESTED IN
THIS FAMILY: There are two male pioneer settlers in the Bay of Quinte area (Charles Saylor and Henry Chambers Saylor) and many people get confused about the lineages. Both were born in NJ and their realtionship is unknown at this time. Check my WorldConnect database to see what I have been able to construct. Love to add more. I want to thank Peter Johnson for his insight and expertise in helping to separate these two family lines. A male line descendant would be very welcome in the Saylor DNA Project. |

SOURCE NOTES BIRTH In the 1851 census Henry is stated to be 56 years old and born in the "US". Thus he was born about 1795. TWO SAYLOR LINES Is this Henry Chambers Saylor related to Charles Saylor of Bloomfield? Henry was born abt 1790 in NJ and Charles was born in 1786 in NJ as well. They both settled in the general area about the same time. The Saylor line in the Pioneer Life of the Bay of Quinte is the Charles line from Bloomfield. These two lines have caused difficulty for those trying to identify the Saylor lineage. There is no evidence to show that these two pioneers are related. If a Saylor male descendant of Henry Saylor had his Y DNA done it could be compared with the known DNA profile of Charles Saylor. LAND RECORDS The oldest record of Henry is his land purchase from his wife's maternal grandfather, Mathias Marsh, on Jan. 4, 1821, 10.5 acres, Lot. 4, Broken Front Conc. 1, Sidney. It was registered June 5, 1832. "Between Mathias Marsh Esquire, Township of Sidney ... Henry C.

Considerable effort has been made to find his burial location but no cemetery record or stone or obituary has been found. It is possible he was buried beside his wife but that the marker was lost or maybe never even made. He was mentioned in Phoebe's will and is assumed to have outlived her and thus died after 1867. |
