Seeking records of Benajah & Lydia Alger

Nicole Edwards Mar 8, 2021 12:03 PM

I am looking for early records for Benajah & Lydia Alger and their children: Josiah & Benajah Alger, twins, born 6-3-1782 in Uxbridge, MA; F. John Alger IV 1750-1800; M. Elizabeth Humes 1746-1791; The family relocated to Ontario County, New York in 1790s. Josiah moved from West Bloomfield, Ontario Co., NY in 1823 to Oakland Co., MI then to Genesee Co. MI - He had 10 children with Esther Scoville. Benajah moved from West Bloomfield, Ontario Co., NY in 1842 to Holly, Oakland Co., MI, and died around 1856. Benajah was married to Lydia Thompson b. 1786 Rhode Island. Hoping to find a listing of their children with birthdates.
