William Hughes, believed to have been of the third generation in America, possibly son of Jesse Hughes of Powhattan and Hughes Creek, Virginia, and grandson of Hugh Hughes, an early comer to Virginia, was born in Virginia late 1680s-1697. He died 1767 in Hampshire County, Virginia.
Thomas Sayre came with his family from England to Lynn, Massachusetts, in the early 1630's. Among descendants of Thomas were clergymen, surgeons, attorneys, ambassadors, and representatives of almost every profession. Francis B., cowboy, professor of law, and ambassador, was son-in-law of former President Woodrow Wilson. Zelda was the wife of American novelist, F. Scott Fitrzgerald, and subject of one of his books. David A. was a silversmith, banker, and founder of Lexington's Sayre School. Many Sayre descendants were taken by wars in service to America and never had the chance to win recognition for their abilities. SAYRE FAMILY another 100 years, in a large part, focuses on the early pioneers who came to or passed through the Ohio Valley of West Virginia and Ohio. At least three direct descendants of Thomas had made settlements in that area by the Nineteenth Century. One, David Sayre, came from New Jersey about 1778, and left many descendants who still lived in that area at the beginning of the Twenty-first Century. The bulk of this genealogy covers those, while other Sayre families whose ancestral links were not discovered are also included. The three generations of ancestors above each family block makes tracing easier.
Jacob Blessing I (d. 1790) emigrated, probably from Wurttemberg, Germany, to Berks County, Pennsylvania before 1764, and married Elizabeth Ritschard Blessing, a Swiss immigrant. It is also possible that Jacob also came from Switzerland. The family moved to Dunmore (later Shenandoah) County, Virginia by 1780. Descendants and relatives lived in Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere.
