About William Hagar, Jr.

From Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of the ... - Google Books Result by William Richard Cutter & William Frederick Adams :

William Hagar, or Hager, immigrant ancestor, resided in Watertown, where he died January 10, 1683-4. His will was dated January 10, 1683-4. and proved April i following. He married. March 20, 1644-45, Mary Bemis, who died "an aged woman" in December, 1695.

Born: About 1620, using 25 years before date of marriage.

Immigration: Before 1645. There is apparently no record of him before his 1645 marriage record.

Spouse: Mary Bemis, sister of Joseph Bemis (1619-1684). Their marriage is recorded in Watertown Vital Records on March 20, 1645. If she were twenty, which seems reasonable since she had children for up to twenty-five years afterwards, she would have been born approximately 1625. They had ten children from 1645-1670. She survived William and died December, 1695, in Watertown, Mass, estimated age: 70.

Occupation: I've not seen him associated with any trade. He likely was a landowner and farmer.

Residence: Watertown, Middlesex Co, Mass

Death: January 10, 1684 in Watertown, Middlesex Co, Mass. Probable age about 64.

Will / Estate: Dated Jan 10, 1683/4, proved Apr 1, 1684.

Associations: Mary Bemis was the sister of Joseph Bemis, and an immigrant on her own account, as she likely accompanied her brother to the New World.
