Rev. Ezra and Sophia (Westfall) Sayre Bible Family Record
The Bible is oversized and was published in 1839 by Thomas Mason & George Lane, for the Methodist Episcopal Church, at the Conference Office. James Collord, Printer.
Bible is in the possession of Thomas Wesley Sayre, Medford, OR. tsayre@charter.net
The Sayre Bible was originally owned by Rev. Ezra Sayre and his wife Sophia Westfall.
An associated
document was written by Rachel Westfall Whitney in Republican City, NE
sometime in the 1890's prior to her death in 1899. Rachel was the younger sister
of Sophia Westfall who became Rev. Ezra Sayre's first wife. After Sophia
died in 1832, Rev. Ezra remarried to Mary Whitney, sister of Rachel's husband
Oliver Whitney.
Sophia was born in Guilderland, Albany Co., NY and Rachel in Knox, Albany Co., NY
to Solomon and Eva (Warner) Westfall.
That original document is held by Sharan Newman of Portland, OR, the 3rd great-granddaughter
of Rachel. It was written on the letterhead of the State Bank of Republican City where her son
C. W. Whitney was employed as an Ass't. Cashier.
