Genealogy Connection of Richard L. Soash  John William Weber, an early traveling minister in Westmoreland County, PA, who had recorded the baptisms, marriage and deaths of many of the early Sowash family, wrote in the front of his church record book:         "I am giving this book to be kept by this church forever that the children whom I have baptized and their children's children and all their children might know who they are."                     I hope to leave that kind of legacy to future generations.

There are two interesting articles about the early Sauvage/Sowash families.  Both are full of generic information about unrelated Savage/Sauvage families and often have incorrect information about our Sowash family, but both are interesting reads.  The first is from a Westmoreland County, PA newspaper.  Soash_1179  The second is from the HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF BERKS COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA (p. 1622) Soash_681.  The information given about Johannes Sauvage is all accurate, but there seems to be a missing generation between Johannes and the "grandsons" listed in the history.  Early descendants of this line remained in Berks County, PA.

All known descendants

It should be noted that there is another Sauvage/Sowash family in the United States that are unrelated.  The original immigrant seems to be Konrad Sauvage, born in Germany and died about 1869 in Kentucky.  Most descendants retained the Sauvage spelling, but descendants of Konrad's grandson Alfred Sauvage later used the Sowash name.  It is remarkable that both lines morphed from Sauvage to Sowash.
