Hello, I am new to this list. I am searching for the parents and siblings of my gggg-grandfather, Henry YEAGER/YAGER. He was born Jan. 5, 1775 in Troy/Albany area, NY. I have recently learned that there were a lot of YAGERs in Columbia Co. I also have seen listed some Henry YAGERs in the 1800 census in Columbia Co. Does anyone have any info on these YAGERs? My Henry married Mary DINGS sometime before 1802, but I don't know where. Mary was born March 1, 1779 in Sullivan Co, NY. They lived in Schoharie County at one point and they moved from Schoharie County to Moscow, Lackawanna Co, PA in 1828, where Mary died March 23, 1829 and Henry died June 26, 1861. Their children were: 1. Catherine (1802-1885), wife of Michael LATOUCHE (they lived in Washington Co, NY till 1832), 2. Maria, 3. Elizabeth "Betsy", 4. Margaret, wife of Spencer GAIGE of Albany, NY, 5. Peter (b April 11, 1814 in Schoharie Co, NY, d Nov. 1905 in Moscow, Lackawanna Co, PA), 6. William (April 3, 1816-Feb. 23, 1901), 7. Henry H. (Aug. 11, 1818-Aug. 10, 1896). I have already looked through Henry Z. Jones books on Palatines and seem to be one generation short of making a connection with my Henry. Can anyone help me?

If you have any luck with this let me know. I'm searching for information on a Caroline W. Yager (my grandmother), daughter of Valentine Yager. My other ancestors are mostly from Columbia County but I haven't asked about the Yagers here since I know of them only in Wayne County.

Jim, I'm curious about your Yager family. My 3g-grandfather, Philip Sours was born in Columbia Co. He was the son of Teunis Sours/Sauer and Maria Jager/Yager. Philip and his family moved from Columbia Co. to Huron, Wayne Co. about 1833. Several of their other relatives moved nearby.
