Research Notes

Her name was recorded as Mary Hannah on some Baptism records for her children (and other minor variations). Middle name was recorded as Honor on some records. Last name was recorded as Alger on some records.

Both James and Mary had fathers whose occupation was grocer and draper. Maybe this is how they met.
