Alvin's father was Martin Tower; he had the following children, Alvin, Calvin, Orrin, Fanny & Phila (twins), Lucy, Harry, William J., Warren Fuller, Calista, William, Houghton, Eli, Sidney, Miles & Minor (twins). In Vol. I of the "Descendants of John Tower of Hingham, MA" by Charlemagne Tower, Edgar is listed as Edgar Stergie, the son of Alvin's brother Sidney and his wife, Lucinda M. Phelps of Monroe, MA. Edgar's older sister, Rosea Malvina Tower married Homer Shippee of Readsboro, VT. Their daughter married my maternal grandfather's brother, Harry Oaks/Oakes, and their son married my grandfather's sister, Jeannie Leanell Oaks. Edgar's younger brother, Sidney Burton Tower married my maternal great-grandmother's sister, Jennie Phelps, originally of Austerlitz, NY. Unfortunately in the above mentioned book, the Tower line of Edgar ends. If you have any info, would you consider sharing it with me. Thanks in advance.
