Sawle Family Ancestors of Ruth and Florence Paget by Ruth Paget
I used online public records in the United States to put together this virtual genealogy project on my Sawle ancestors from Cornwall, England. The Sawles were famous as ship captains of Celtic origin.
G1 refers to generation 1. David Sawle wrote a genealogy of the family in England, which I will add to this first step of information gathering.
G1 – Florence Paget
-daughter of Laurent Paget and Ruth Pennington
G2 – Ruth Pennington
-daughter of Clarence Pennington and Beatrice May Pennington
G3 – Beatrice May Sawle
-daughter of Frank Sawle and Daisy May Bardsley

-son of William Stephen Sawle Sr and Jeanette Scott Hodgson
Born: 1901
Died: 1996
G5 – William Stephen Sawle Sr
-son of Captain Stephen Sawle and Margaret Dunn Rowe

Margaret Dunn Rowe lived in Veryn, Cornwall and Gerrans, Cornwall before coming to the US with Captain Stephen Sawle. They entered the US at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I will consult David Sawle’s genealogy for further information about the Sawle family in England.
