Information concerning Edward Sayers, circ 1800, Kent England.
I am seeking information concerning the life of Edward Sayers, born in Kent(?) 1796. I believe that he was a master mariner. Family folklore tells us that he commanded a ship which called at an island (Indonesia?) and rescued one or two girls who the sole European survivors of a disease which had decimated the population. Later he and his wife, Julia Senior, adopted one of these, known as Antje Johanna Louise Kishman. Their son James later married her and my wife’s family results from this relationship. We are keen to validate this story and any information would be welcome.
