The name of Alger has been variously written; sometimes Aulgar, Augur, Augre, Auger, Agur, Ager, Eager, and Agar, and were, perhaps, originally the same name. And although the family in Bridgewater have generally written it Alger, yet it was formerly invariably pronounced Auger. In Willis' History of Portland we find the names of Arthur and An- drew Alger, of Scarborough, in 1650; the latter is found on the court records as early as 1640. Both of these were killed in Philip's war 1675. It is remarkable that they were written often in the same variable manner, Alger and Auger. There was also a Sampson Alger, written Auger, in Old York, made freeman at Kittery 1652. These three last have been mis- taken by Farmer, in his Register, for Angier, and so was Thomas, ancestor of the Bridgewater family, on the Old Colony records as copied by Nichols, in consequence of being there written Auger, the u as generally written not being easily distinguishable from an n .- In Winthrop's Journal, p. 23d, we find " a vessel arrived from Bristol in 1631, and among the passengers the name of Augre appears. We find also the name of a Mr. Au- gur, at New Haven, 1667." The families of John and Hannah Aulgar, of John and Sarah Aulgar, and of Matthew and Martha Aulgar, appear from 1652 to 1682, on Boston records ; where also it appears John Alger m. Sarah Seely 1721 .- Farmer's Register also gives the name of Nicholas Auger, a learned phy- sician of New Haven, 1638, and his brothers, John and Robert ; taken from Dodd's East Haven Register. William Auger, or Agar, also was admitted freeman in Mass. 1631, and lived in Salem 1637, and d. 1654. Jonathan Ager or Auger was also of Salem in 1665. Jacob Auger was at Braintree 1689.
ALLEN .- Samuel Allen, of Braintree and his wife Ann, had Samuel 1632, Joseph, James, Sarah 1639, Mary and Abigail. His w. Ann d. 1641, and he had a 2d. w. Margaret ; whether she was mother of any of the children is not known; his will 1669, wherein the children are named in the above order .---- Sarah m. Lieut. Josiah Standish .- Mary m. Nathaniel Green- wood 1655 .- Abigail probably m. John Cary 1670.
