Family Genealogy & History

window dressing Savery/Savory Family Group of Vermont, New York and Michigan

 

Family Description (the Savery/Savory branch)

The American Savory/Savery/Severy family (sometimes spelled phonetically) begins with Solomon Savery, born in 1761 in Sutton, Worcester County, Massachusetts, and resided in Orwell, Vermont. The Savorys must have first known the Rowley family in Orwell, Vermont before 1810. Solomon had four boys: Asa, Preston, Stephen and H.O, and one daughter, Elizabeth (Savery) Douglas. My ancestor Myron Hale Rowley the country doctor married Jerusha Savery (1808-1852). I have identified her as one Solomon Savery's granddaughters, probably Stephen's daughter. He is the most likely father because his residences all match Rowley residences as she grew up: 1810 - Orwell, Rutland, VT; 1820 - The next door neighbor to Daniel Rowley in 1820 Leroy, Genesee Co, NY; and 1830 - Chautauqua Co., NY. Sister Elizabeth Savery was married Luther Douglas and lived close by the Rowleys in Leroy, NY, as well. The Rowleys went a separate ways about 1828 in Chautauqua. Myron and Jerusha went to Indiana then Pennsylvania. The other adult children of Solomon Savery family went to Sturgis, Michigan. One of the brothers, Asahel Savery led an interesting life as a postmaster running from Vermont to his final home in Michigan, and I can imagine he is responsible for the letters that passed down in our family carried from Vermont to New York.
