Greetings, Phil:
According to census data...
WILLIAM SAYLES was born in New York in about 1837.
His father was born in Rhode Island, and his mother was born in New York.
William served in the Civil War.
William settled in Lodi, Medina County, Ohio (date unknown).
He married Irena Albina Sargent in Medina County on December 31, 1868.(We have their marriage license/certificate).
William and his wife, Irena, homesteaded in Dakota Territory in the spring of 1869.The area in which they homesteaded was later designated as Union County, South Dakota.
William Sayles served as a board member of School District # 25 (Dakota Territory; Union Co. SD), as did another pioneering neighbor, Solomon Maynard.In later years, Frank Sayles (son of William Sayles), also served as a board member; as did William's son-in-law, Otis Maynard -- who married daughter Charlotte "Lottie" Sayles
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
We have one or two (good quality) photographs of William Sayles and his wife, Irena Albina SARGENT Maynard.
One of these is a formal "family" photograph, which includes William and Irena; and, several other extended family members.Unfortunately, we cannot definitively identify some of the individuals in this photo; however, another handsome gentleman that can be identified in the old photograph is Mr. Harry A. Sargent, brother of Irena Albina [Sargent] Maynard.
A later photograph shows the wedding party of Otis Maynard and "Lottie" Sayles. The wedding party included the brother of Otis Maynard; and, Miss Hattie Sayles, Lottie's sister.
