I am a descendant of Levi Alger who was born in 1781 and died September 11, 1820. His wife was Grace Coffey. She and Levi had two children - Charles Coffey Alger, born July 4, 1809 and Emily F. Alger, born about ten years later. Charles had two wives - Sarah Palmer (they were married December 27, 1831 at a Methodist Church in Manhattan and divorced early in 1868) and Marie Louise Molt. Emily married Cyrus Pratt and she is also buried in the cemetery. She died when she was about 25 years old and left a husband and a young daughter, Sarah E. Pratt. Cyrus eventually married Emily's first cousin, Harriet Coffey, and they had at least one son. (Emily and Cyrus are buried at this little cemetery here in the Central Valley shopping center known as Woodbury Commons.) Charles Coffey Alger and Marie Louise Molt are buried at the Yantic Cemetery in the area of Norwich, Connecticut. Sarah Palmer Alger is buried in the Hudson City Cemetery at Hudson, New York with the two children that she had with Charles Coffey Alger. The two children were Charles Alger (1836 - 1897) and Grace Alger (never married) (1833 or 1834 to 1899). Charles Coffey Alger had one daughter by his second wife - Lucile Alger. She was born at Norwich, Ct. in October of 1870 or 1871 and died unmarried at her estate at 100 Beach Road in Great Neck on Christmas Eve of 1936 and her body was cremated. Mrs. Grace Coffey Alger remarried. Her second husband was the widower Col. James Young(s) of Blooming Grove, Orange County, New York. He had a daughter and a son, James Madison Young(s). Charles Coffey Alger bought the home of the architect A. J. Downing in Newburgh in late 1852 after Downing died. He and his first wife Sarah Palmer Alger and his daughter and son by her are listed in Newburgh on the U. S. Census of 1860. The marriage started to have severe problems about 1861. The richer C. C. Alger got, the less satisfied he was with his marriage. His second wife was 30 to 40 years younger than he was. Hi, there.
