Most of my Gager info came from relatives & Harry G. Gager's information that he posted in the NYC Public Library. I was able to get some copies at my library. They will send them for a fee. Higginson books also has a small book that helped get me started. This all started with a piece of one of the books my mother had of her father's a part of a copy of Harry G. Gager genealogy study which told of him placing info there. Natan was my ggg grandfather , his son Thomas Walter was my gggrandfather, he had 5 children Freeman Ellsworth Gager (MY Greatgrandfather was the 2nd youngest b 1855 & Harry Garfield Gager was the youngest b 1877. He never married. I guess that's how he had time for all this family history. Anyway if I can help let me know. Happy hunting. Linda

Freeman Gager is my Great-Great-Grandfather and Thomas is my GGGGrandfather. I have Thomas married to Delia Hatch (m. (5/27/1841) with Freeman being born in March 1855. I found your information facinating. I wonder if the information I have about Thomas' parents was correct -- I have Thomas' Father as Nathan and his mother as Phoebe Wood. I noted in your second post on 18 Jan 2003 that Nathaniel was married to Mary Griffen 5/27/1798 without a Thomas as a child (omitted? 10 listed). Just a little confused.

I am related to Freeman's son Edward, Edward's son Wallace, My dad, Warren born in Babylon, NY 1925.

Thanks for any other information you might have...

Linda, I was wondering if you have ever come across an Ira Gager, born about 1824 in New York. He lived in Michigan most of his live, but I do see two of his children born in New York and two born in Canada. I think he is the father of my gg Grandfather Caleb Gager. Thanks for reading this.

Hi Jerry, Sorry I haven't replied before now. Any way you are a little confused the names can be at times as I discovered. Nathan & Nathaniel Gager are brothers. not the same person as you might almost assume. They are 2 of the 10 children of John (Jagger) Gager & Mercy Brown. This is where it gets tricky for some reason the name Jagger which in "dutch" is Gager was changed. All of their children went by the name of Gager.
Their children are Robert b 1760 d 1852
Nathaniel b1763 d bef 1849
Hannah b 1764 d 1857
John b 1767 d 1850
Phebe b 1771 d 1851
Thomas b 1774 d 1846
Sarah b 1776 d?
Joshua Reuben 1781 d 1855
Nathan b March 4, 1787 d. May 5,1872 M. Phoebe Wood Dec. 17, 1809 m again after 1847 ? Anna M. Holden
Noah b 1789 d 1864

Now their son Nathan had 10 children
Betsey Lorinda b 1813 d 1819
Thomas Walter b August 4,1817 d July 5, 1875 m Delia Hatch May 1841
Oscar Griswold b 1818 d?
Andrew Wood b 1821 d 1883
Timothy Gilbert b 1822 d 1890
Sarah Orinda b 1824 d ?
Orilla Marie b 1827 d 1903
Alson Wheeler b 1829 d 1896
Orlow Clinton b 1831 d 1880
Orvil Harvey b 1815 d 1872
I hope this helps cousin, my great grandfather was Freeman Ellsworth Gager, my Grandfather was Charles Smith Gager
Happy Hunting Linda

Hi. Thanks for the great information. You're right, Wallace Ellrich Gager is my grandfather. He was married to Irene Twombly (not Sophie). Their children were Warren (my father), Audrey, Doris and Dorothy. Doris and Dorothy are twins.

Linda,
I'm looking for Sarah Gager who married Caleb Fobes-d-8/25/1710. Their children were Mary Gager Fobes, Sarah, Caleb, John, and Elizabeth. These are all ancestors of Gager Smith who was my GGGgrandfather.

Sarah Gager was born February 1651 probably in Norwich Connecticutt. She was the daughter of John Gager and Elizabeth Gore. Her father, John Gager was born May 25 1620 in Little Waldingfield, Suffolk, England and he came to America in 1630, with his father Dr William Gager on the ship Arbella with John Winthrop (Massachusetts Bay Company). Sarah's father John Gager is the progenitor of most Gager's in America. Caleb Fobes is also spelled as Forbes. He too was from the Norwich Connecticutt area. I hope this helps.
