SAYLOR DNA PROJECT

GROUP #3
Mathias Sailor/Saylor Lineage

 Test # N13550
From various sources, this marker sequence traces it’s ancestry to a Mathias Sailor/Saylor and Magdelena Harry that lived in or near Hagestown, Maryland, between 1750 and 1795.  The best documentation I have for this family was compiled by Connie (Saylor) Shaw in a book titled Climbing the Family Tree.
However, the DNA sample tested here is that of a descendant that can only document his ancestry from Isaac C. Sailor, born about 1818 in PA; but; living in Wayne Co., IL, in the 1860 Census, married to Lucetta ?, born about 1821. They had 8 known children.

Theodore Seiler/Saylor Lineage
 Test # 81128
Ancestry contributed to the Project Administrator traces ancestry to Theodore Seiler with a son Friederick Sailor born 12 Mar 1701/02 in Binningen, Switzerland. One of Friederick's sons was named Matthias Sailor, born 16 Dec 1738 in Bottmingen, Switzerland and died 02 Sep 1826 in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland Co., PA. Thus, Mathias appears to be a recurring name in this Group. Matthias' brother, Jacob Sailor, born 17 Apr 1746 in Bottmingen, Switzerland and died 19 Jun 1816 in Buffalo Twp., Washington Co., PA., is the ancestor of 81128.

Canadian Branch of the Family
 Test # 100884

This test was reported 24 Oct 2007 and 05 NOV 2007 with a surprise result. It was expected to be a match with test #62606 in Group #2.
This test comes from a male living in Ontario, Canada, who descends from a Samuel Saylor b. about 1750 and who arrived, at age 8, in Burlington County, NJ from Germany. This result comes through his son Charles Saylor (b 1786, NJ) who, along with a sister, emigrated to Upper Canada about 1810. DNA testing confirms a problem with the paper trail for this lineage and that of Group 2. Additional DNA testing and detective work is required to solve the paper trail mystery.
 Test # 154198
This test is also from the Canadian branch of the family is a 12 of 12 match with Group 3. Test # 154198 is a 36 of 37 with Test # 100884 and a 35 of 37 with tests # 81128 and # 138625.

THIRD SAYLER/SAYLOR Family in early Somerset County, PA
 Test # 138625
(12 of 12 match to N13550, 36 of 37 match to 100884, 35 of 37 match to 81128)

This test and the quality research of the paper trail is a surprise! The earliest ancestor of this family, as of this time, is found in the History of Bedford and Somerset Counties Pennsylvania, Volume III, by Blackburn, Welfley and Koontz, pages 82 - 84.  Before this test, I believed the ancestor George Michael Saylor belonged in DNA Group 4. No so, because of ANOTHER  George Michael Sayler.

This first match for the Saylor DNA Project was reported 07 FEB 2007. N13500 and 81128 did not know each other before this report. They are now working together to find their common ancestor.
