1755–1852

Henry Hawes and Sarah (Dyer) owned a farm near Brandywine, WV., (then Augusta County), on what is known as Haws Run. Henry died prior to 22 August 1755, when his wife Sarah posted bond as Henry's administratrix. Sarah (Dyer) Haws was taken captive by the Indians during the Massacre at Ft. Seybert on 28 April, 1758, and she remained in captivity for 3½ years until rescued with the help of her brother, James Dyer. Following the Ft. Seybert massacre in 1758, while Sarah was still in Indian captivity, Matthew Patton became guardian of little Hannah, their daughter born shortly before Henry's Hawes death in May, 1755. Court records for May 15, 1758 show that Matthew Patton being appointed Hannah's guardian.

Later, Sarah Dyer Hawes, then married Robert Davis in 1762 or 1763. shortly after her escape from the Indians and return home. She and Robert were buried in the back yard of the home where they lived near the mouth of Hawes Run. Sarah may well have been the best looking of the Dyer girls. she had been married to Henry Hawes in 1753 and he died in 1754 or early 1755. Sarah was as independent as could be, a trait that served her well during the four years with the Indians. Her red hair and green eyes and fine figure of a woman may have well saved her from massacre. The fact that she had a fine bone spoon which she brought home also shows she faired better than most squaws. She and Robert bought back her land from Matthew Patton. The fact that she had 1/5 of Roger Dyer's estate as her share of her fathers money and her own property she had inherited from Henry Haws, made her a wealthy person in her own right.
