Born in Goshen, New York, in 1813, Robert W. Sawyer worked as a farmer and school teacher before entering the College of New Jersey in the fall of 1834…Graduating in 1838, he immediately entered the Princeton Theological Seminary, where he continued his studies for another three years… When his seminary classmate Jonathan Alward died in 1841 attempting to establish a Presbyterian mission near Liberia, Sawyer volunteered to take his place, and he soon set off for Liberia with his new wife on Oct. 6, arriving in Monrovia in December. Sawyer died 2 years later on December 1, 1843, probably of malaria or mercury poisoning from frequent use of something called "Blue Pill" (most likely calomel; used in order to stave off disease; for more info, see https://slavery.princeton.edu/stories/princeton-and-liberia.
