Biography - from a posting on Onondaga County, NY biographies by Kathy Crowell from 1998 of an original biography published in 1896 Onondagas Centennial : "The ancestral home of the Sager family of Syracuse was Amsterdam, Holland. The American ancestors of George J. and A. Park sager came over in the ships of Patrone Killen Van Rensselaer, and were among the earliest settlers of Albany Co., NY. They are of the stock of sturdy Dutch traders, employed by the West India Company, who settled New Amsterdam and later in the beginning of the 17th century, worked their way up the Hudson to the head of tide water at Albany for the purpose of adventures and commerce with the Indians. The family names appear in the annals of Albany as early as 1642. The struggles of the people at this period with the French and Indians present an interesting history and produced conditions which tended to develop the Dutch character along natural lines and made a fearless, sturdy, honest and industrious people...The first official recognition of Sager, as the family name occurs in the case of Thomas and John Sager, cousins, is on the company rolls of the Revolutionary War. .. Jacob Sager, son of George, and a descendant of Cornelius Segers and father of George J. and A. Park Sager, came to Syracuse 6-1-1847 with his wife and six children...Evert Seager, grandfather of Jacob Sager, was a private in Co. John Harper's regiment of NY militia in the Revolution in 1780. Thomas Seager, uncle of Jacob, also served in that war in the 6th company of the 1st regiment of special levy for frontier duty and died while so engaged 10-18-1778. In consequence his heirs were entitled to 500 acres of the military tract and on 9-13-1790, lot 19 in Tully was issued to his sister, Syntie Sager. George J. and A. Park Sager received a common school education, and early entered upon their business career. George J. enlisted in the 149th NY Volunteers in 8-1862 and served until the closed of the war, being connected part of the time with headquarters, 3d Brigade, 2d Division, 12th and 20th Army Corps. He was a member of the Army of the Potomac, the Army of the Cumberland and the Army of Georgia and was brevetted 2nd lieutenenant of NY Vols. for gallant and meritirious service. To A. Park Sager belongs the credit of starting in Syracuse and industry which today employs nearly 3000 people, mostly women in and about the city in the manufacture of fine hand made knit goods in silk, Angora and worsted. They are also engaged in the importation of goods in their lines and have a trade extending from Boston to San Francisco.
