Surnames: Sager Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VRB.2ACE/2511.1.1 Message Board Post: Thank you for your good ideas. I am doing my research from Canada and not yet come up with a map of the earlier versions of Columbia County. I understand the Sagers may have lived at one point in Hillsdale, not far from the MA border, making Shay's rebellion a possibility for their move. Apparently they also lived in Ghent, Claverack, and Churchtown, closer to the Hudson R. I have found Adam Sager's name on a list of 'Claimants for Losses in the Province of Quebec' , but have seen no other indication that they would have been Loyalists.
