His father, Caleb Smith Sayres, was distinguished physician, who is mentioned by Dr. Benjamin Rush as being particularly skilful in the treatment of yellow fever during the epidemic of 1798. The son was educated at the University of Pennsylvania. He was appointed vice-consul of Brazil in 1841, of Portugal in 1850, of Sweden and Norway in 1854, of Denmark in 1862, and in 1872 honorary consul of Brazil for long and faithful services to the empire.
