I am related to the Alger Line through Joseph Alger (1794-1868).He is a brother to the people you mentioned in your posting.Parents are Sarel (Serrill) Alger and Mary Polly Jackson. Joseph's first wife was Prudence Fosdick. Joseph's second wife is Elmira (Almira) Pierce.They are buried in Cobble Hill Cemetery, Boston, Erie County, New York.The Alger line was one of the earliest families settling Boston, NY.Joseph and Prudence had a daughter Fanny Alger, who married Mortimer C. Adams (Boston, NY).Sarel Alger probably came west from Rhode Island.Sarel and Polly had eleven children.
