"Can someone help me? I am trying to investiage the Eager Family in St. John's New Brunswick. I have from EArly probate records by R. Wallace Hale, p. 254, that a Robert Eggar was a witness to the will of Frances Lawton in the city of St. John in 1818.......I am wondering who this Frances is and connection to this Robert??????? Diane Eager"

"I must say this site has been the most informative I have seen about St. John and its history. That is why I am asking anyone with St. John records at their disposal for help with EAGER family there. Again, we are a brick wall (for many years) with Richard EAger, whose birth certificate says he was born in St. John, New Brunswick and that his father (whoever that is) came from Ireland. I had that Robert Eggar lead, but am interested in any other mention of EAGER, EGGAR and other various spellings that you might have. I saw a map on this site that appeared to say Joseph Eager, but I couldn't read closely enough. Realizing this is an imposition to your own Lawton research, I hope that if someone has other EAGER info, they would let me know. THANKS.....Diane"

"I realized that I had not included a birth date for Richard Eager; it is 1819 and we know that he is in St. Louis, Mo in mid-1840's. So we are looking for the parents--and we know father came from Ireland. Thanks, again."
