Is your source family lore or a document from that time frame?  Also, 
are you assuming that Sawicki is in the Lublin region or did they 
move there after these events?

A general search in all of Poland yields only one reasonably close 
spelling / pronunciation - Zawyki - but it is not in the Lublin region.

Note also that if the spelling is Slavic, the c would have a tz sound 
to it so the pronunciation could be something like Sawitzki.  I found 
nothing similar to that either.
