Andrew Alger

M, b. 1618, d. 12 October 1675
FatherUnknown Alger b. b 1600
     Andrew Alger was born in 1618 in Dunston, South Norfolk District, Norfolk, England. His parents were Richard and Margaret Alger..1

In August, 1635, Andrew was a witness to a signature on Richmond's Island, (Maine?) and his brother Arthur is said to have been there too. In 1638, both Andrew and Arthur Alger resided at Stratton's Island, Maine where they employed a number of fishermen. Several dispositions in York Co. records indicate they came from a village named Dunstan in England. Per NEHGR, some years before 1659 Andrew Alger and his brother Arthur Alger purchased from the Indians a large tract of land at Blue Point (later part of Scarborough), and named this tract of land Dunstan.

Andrew was living in Saco, Maine as early as 1640 and was styled "Surveyor". In 1651, he and Arthur purchased nearly 1000 acres on the Dunstan River from an Indian sagamore. This purchase was confirmed in 1659 and again in 1674.

By 1654, Andrew and Arthur and their families were fully established at Dunstan. He was constable and selectman and in 1668 was commissioned lieutenant.

The Algers lived in peace with the Indians for 20 years. However, in the autumn of 1675, they were warned of an impending Indian war and moved their families to the garrison at Black Point. On October 12, 1675 Andrew and Arthur went back to their cabins to get some of their goods and were attacked by the Indians on the way back. Andrew was killed and Arthur mortally wounded in this attack.2,3

Andrew married Agnes [--?--] Alger before 1649.4 He made a will on 23 March 1669 at Scarborough, York Co., Massachusetts, (now Cumberland Co., Maine).. In the will, Andrew is styled "Fisherman". The will appoints his wife Agnes executrix and mentions his sons John, Andrew, and Matthew, and his daughters Elizabeth and Joanna. His brother Arthur and a friend Andrew Brown were appointed overseers. The will was allowed on 30 June 1676 with the estate inventory given as 78 pounds..5

Andrew died on 12 October 1675 in Dunstan, York County, Massachusetts, (now Cumberland County, Maine). Andrew was killed in an Indian attack when he returned to his home in Dunstan to remove some of his property after moving his family to Sheldon's Garrison at Black Point for safety..6,1
