HAGERS
HAGERS OF HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, HUNTERDON COUNTY.
NICHOLAS Hager is said to have lived in Morris Co., N. J., but no trace of such a name appears in the family of German Valley, who all descended from a JOHN. Nicholas is also said to have had a brother who lived in Bucks Co., Pa., probably in Bedminster, and founded Hagerville. This brother had two sons, one a lawyer and another a doctor. Nicholas had at least three, JOHN, FELTEY and PETER.
JOHN, the first of these, b. 1748, d. 1810, m. Mary Troch and served in the Revo- Intionary war. He moved to Nochamixon, Pa., where he lived until 1800, when be came to Holland twp., upon the farm now belonging to Jacob Robbins, which he rented for ten years. This land was conveyed to his son, John, 1811, April 15 ; it was part of Parker's lot No. 26 ; John had children :

HAGERS OF BEDFORD COUNTY, PENN.
JOHN HAUGER, b. 1749, d. 1813, Dec. 6, m. Maria Barbara Miller, b. 1749, April 6, d. 1826, May 11 ; came from Hagerstown, Maryland, to Somerset Co., Penn., 1793 ; then rem to Bedford Co., Pa. His parents came from Prussia to Phila., then to Hagerstown, when he was 13 years of age (?); spell their name Hauger. The historian of Hagerstown says the first Hager to come there was Jonathan, who came from Philadelphia ; he knew nothing more about him. John's chil- dren were :
I. JOHN, m. Hannah Shultz.
II. DANIEL. m. Susan Cramer.
III. SIMON, m. Maggie Smith.
IV. LIZZIE, m. Michel Cober.
V. JACOB, b. 1785, June 4, d. 1862, Sept. 23, m. Elisabeth Knepper.
VI. HENRY, m. first, Barbara Horner ; second, Sarah Buckley.
VII. JOSEPH, m. Susan Baker.
VIII. WILLIAM, m. Barbara Hay.
IX. BARBARA, m. a Dunham.
The Hager family seems to consist of many branches, or more probably there are many families of the same name. Some came to this country before 1700, and settled in New England. There are many of this name on the list of emigrants, who arrive at Phila. from 1727-1776. Judge T. S. Hager, born in German Valley, who died in California, found that the name is correctly spelled, Hager, and sig- nifies "lean," "haggard." Families of this name are found in books of heraldry possessing rank and having coats of arms, and belonging to Austria, Bavaria and Prussia.
CAPT. JOHN HAGER, a Revolutionary soldier, went from Scholarie Co. to what is now the town of Hector, Schuyler Co., N. Y., about 1798. He was the youngest of nine brothers, and married Nancy Patchen. He had a son PETER, b. 1784, d. 1854, who was Sheriff, Senator and Judge of Court of Appeals in N. Y. State. He had a son, P. C. HAGER, now living at Suffern, N. Y.
