HI!
Apparently there were two separate legs of Gager's that originated in the colonies in 1630.One was from a William Gager and one that came from a Jeremiah Jagger.Jeremiah came from Yarmouth, England to Salem, Mass. in 1630.He settled in Watertown for a few yeasrs and then was start of the colony of Wetherfield.He and 27 other men left Wethersfield in 1641 and began the new Puritan colony of Stamford, Conn.He married his wife Elizabeth and started a family that later took the name of Gager.That family is the family from Duchess County of New York.Nathan Gager was the gggrandson of Jeremiah.
I hope this helps.I have a lot of other info.
