Laurence Hager was the son of David Hager and Elizabeth Fonger.
After the Revolutionary war Laurence's Family left their homes in the American Republic and migrated overland to the British Colonies, "Upper Canada" entering Niagara. The Hager's made a halt at the village of Clinton and later took up land near where the village of Grimsby now stands, or on the 30 mile Creek. David Hager drew 200 acres of land from the government in 1804, the land being in Trafalgar Township in Halton County. This is where David and his brother Charles later called, "Hagerville". This he sold to his son Laurence in 1806 and continued to reside on this homestead near Grimsby until his death. Lawrence Low Hager was a Methodist Preacher and served in the 4th Lincoln Regiment during the War of 1812.
