James,
As we now know that your great grandmother was Lizzie Sager, daughter of Samuel and Melinda Sager, I thought I could find him on US censuses prior to his marriage.
There were 2 men called Samuel Sager with similar profiles, one married Malinda the other's wife was called Eve/ Elizabeth.
I know that I have located the correct one, due to his younger brother who was called ELI. (Elias)

Your gg grandfather, Samuel Sager was the son of Peter and Eliza Sager

Moody Blue,
I figured out that attachments can be sent by PM.
Most of my stuff automatically saves as a TIFF but this format does not seem to attach to a PM.
I now re-save docs as a JPEG which attaches fine!

Eringobragh1916 dont undersell yourself.....without the leads that you provided I would still be (and am) flailing about all over the place. I think that you understand a lot more than I do. :-)

Turning out to be a decent outcome for James so far....
Anne and Moody Blue have provided most of the links..I am limited due to the fact I dont use/have access to lots of the sites....

If James is having as much trouble as me then he's got major problems...!

This family has gathered momentum at a rate of knots not sure who and where to be looking next...

Re Jane...Yes well I looked at the naming patern of the children of Alexander and Jane and played a hunch ..(not very scientific)...then noted that this couple Edward and Jane Laird also had a son named Peter...again not very scientific...!!
