The root of the Tawier name is from "taw", to dress skins. Thus it is likely that originally the family members were tanners or leather workers. The "h" was added when the emigrants came to New England.
There is a stage direction in the first folio of Act 5 of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream":
[Enter] Tawyer with a trumpet before them.According to Furness's Variorum, this refers to William Tawier (or Tawyer), an associate at the Globe Theater Company in London.
