History of Otsego County, New York, 1740-1878: A David Alger is listed on pages 223-224 as being a pioneer blacksmith in 1811 in Oneonta. A David Alger Jr is listed as serving in the Civil War (injured 1865).
Old Time Notes by Willard Huntington: David Alger is listed as having been a contributor to the Presbyterian Church in Oneonta. He is also listed once again as having been a pioneer blacksmith.
New York State Census Index: 1810-not listed; 1820-no listed; 1830-Two David Algers listed, one in Hartwick and one in Milford (both in Otsego County).
Have Delos' death certificate that states that David Alger and Elizabeth (Beams) Alger are the parents of Delos. However, just recently recieved from the the Oneonta Daily Star (Thank You so very, very much Besty Sullivan) a copy of both the Death Notice of Aug 2, 1912, and Obituary dated Aug 3, 1912, that shows David Alger and Catherine (Beams) Alger as the parents of Delos. It further stated that Delos' Grandfather was Stoughton Alger who came to the Oneonta area just after the Revolutionary War. Stoughton settled on the "BULL farm at the Plains" and was buried there in 1816. Stoughton's wife was believed to be Ruth Taylor.
Also Very Important:
1. Have recieved word that a Paul Douglas Alger (son of Alonzo Alger and Letitica (Brooks) Alger) had the Family Bible with much info in it. It is thought that Paul and his wife Agnes Hemmings, along with their two daughters move to California somewhere. Any one knowing of this branch of the family PLEASE contact me ASAP. Thanks...
Frank A. Alger, Jr.
