Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Jagger-107

Jeremiah Jagger was born probably about 1600-1610 in England or Holland.[1]

Jeremiah Jagger married Elizabeth and is said to have come to America in 1630 in the ship Arbella, one of Gov. Winthrop's fleet and settled in Watertown, Mass., from there he went in 1636 to Wethersfield, Conn. He fought in the Pequot Indian War of 1637 and he and his three sons were granted tracts of land in recognition of this service [1]

Per Torrey, the last name of Jeremy's wife, Elizabeth, was unknown. [2]

Because Jeremiah Jagger-Gager came to America with Gov. Winthrop's fleet which sailed from England does not necessarily prove whether he was born in England or Holland, or which country he started from on his voyage to America. [1]

Jeremiah Jagger came from Watertown, Massachusetts to Wethersfield in 1636. He was a soldier in the Pequot campaign of 1637, for which he received a lot for his services thirty years later. He removed to Stamford in 1641. He died Aug 14, 1658, leaving widow Elizabeth, and sons John, Jeremiah and Jonathan. His widow married second Robert Usher.[3]

Jeremiah/Jeremy was master of a trading vessel at Stamford, and went to the West Indies for years before his death Aug 14, 1658 abroad.[4]

He was a Capt and a sea merchant--- he was lost at sea.
