        THE SAWYER FAMILY. The SAWYER family came to America from England
     during the Colonial period and settled in Vermont. JAMES SAWYER was a
     soldier of the Revolution, and fought as a Lieutenant at the battle of
     Bunker Hill. His son, DAN SAWYER, removed to Windham, Connecticut,
     after the Revolution. He married MISS DENISON. Their son, JAMES
     DENISON SAWYER, was born at Windham, Conn., in 1813. In 1840 he re-
     moved to Buffalo and the same year married MISS CHARLOTTE OLIVIA
     FIELD, a daughter of PLINY A. FIELD and OLIVIA BABCOCK. MISS FIELD's
     elder brother, GEORGE PLINY FIELD, was an infant at the time of the
     burning of Black Rock by the British and Indians in 1813. Escaping
     from the catastrophe with her child, MRS. FIELD fled from Black Rock
     to Batavia by the way of Williamsville, taking with her her household
     goods, which she had loaded on a cart. Her home was burned, but after
     the invasion was over she returned to Black Rock and built a house.
        PLINY A. FIELD served with the Patriot army in the defense of the
     Niagara Frontier. GEORGE PLINY FIELD, the son of PLINY A. and OLIVIA
     FIELD was educated at West Point. He served in the Mexican War and was
     killed at the Battle of Monterey.
