1. Sawyer Kill. Sawyer's Kill is a 7.0-mile-long tributary stream of the Hudson River. The stream enters the Hudson River at Seamon Park, just north of the village of Saugerties. Saugerties takes its name from the Dutch, “De Zaagertjes”, "Saugerje's Kill" or "Little Sawyer's creek". (Submitted on December 28, 2018, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
2. Sawyer's Mill. There is some disagreement on the mill site. Terwilliger's was a later grist mill. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.733534150058123&type=3 The SAWYER mill may have been located closer to the Hudson River for easy loading for transportation to Clermont and the Livingston enterprises. The later location of GLASCO also transported lumber from Woodstock to Clermont warehouses. (Submitted on September 29, 2024, by Chester T. Hartwell of Angier, North Carolina.)
