Eaker Journal
Line
Peter Egger (Eaker), a Swiss shoe cobbler, arrived in America in 1741.  Like many German speaking immigrants of the time, the family settled in Lancaster County, PA.  When the migration to the Catawba River area of North Carolina began, the Eakers were among the first to move in the early 1750s.  This journal is about the Eaker and related families who settled in Lincoln County, NC in the mid eighteenth century and traces a line which remains in the area of Old Tryon to this day.
