It would be difficult to estimate the value of all these organizations. The high ideals presented to these young people and the early instruction given must help them to become useful members of society.
History of Sutton
PART VI-GENEALOGICAL
"A people which takes no pride in the noblest achievements of remote ancestors will never achieve anything worthy to be remembered by remote descendants."
MACAULEY
T HE genealogical records of the families of the town are arranged as in Volume I of the History of Sutton. The women, however, receive more recognition. Only the men of a family, with children, are given separate paragraphs. The children of the married daughters are included in parentheses, except in those instances where they are listed under their father's family, in which case, the number of children is given in parentheses, with an asterisk at the right, referring one to the genealogy of the father's family.
We have not generally followed the descendants of families who have left Sutton, permanently, farther than their interests concerned Sutton.
The records have been compiled by Mrs. George F. Freeland, who has de- voted much time to the work.

EAGER
There seem to be few available early records of the Eager family in America. Sutton Eagers are said to have descended from Zerubabel Eager, a grantee, when Grafton was sold to the English by the praying Indians in 1728. The earliest mention of any Eager in Sutton appears to be that of Stephen and his wife, Sarah (Pratt) Eager both of Grafton, given as parents of Jasper Eager in the records.
