Biographical History
Jonathan Sayward (1713-1797) of York, Maine, rose from uneducated, working-class origins to assume social and political leadership in his town prior to the Revolution. He became a wealthy mariner, trader, and property owner and served as: town clerk, 1736; constable, 1741; representative to the General Court, 1766-1768; Justice of the Peace, 1761; Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, 1772; Judge of Probate for York County. He took an active role in his church and corresponded with and entertained numerous notable public men including Thomas Hutchinson (1711-1780) and John Hancock (1732-1793). A Tory, Sayward's political status and wealth declined during and after the Revolution.
