I think my ggg-grandfather John Sager is oldest brother to your Philander. Do you have ready access to any probate records for Tioga county? Did James Sager leave a will? Daughter Rachel in 1850 census is the Rachel Sager in my Sagers 1870 household I believe. Saw a tioga index that had a Rachel Sager listed w/will. I also am interested in marriage & death records. 1879 History of McLean county bio for John Sager reports Tompkins county birth, move to Tioga, & 1 child born/died before move to Stephenson county, IL by 1850 census. I have recently been searching newspapers of the day for obits for family memebers. Unfortunately, John's was typical of the day; little family info, lots of sorrow for 'loss of this fine citizen'........ This is getting really long for a board posting! (I can get carried away w/family history stuff!) You can email me direct w/any replies. Thanks, Karen
