Biography

Immigration

"Further research has also disclosed that the Egger family originated at Adleboden and Frutigen in Canton Bern, Switzerland and left there before 1720 for Alsace where they remained for at least 21 years before arriving at Philadelphia on Ship Lydia on 29 September 1741. The families were listed at Muddy Creek in Lancaster Co. Peter, Sr. and the Mani family seemed to have remained in PA until about 1762 before moving to NC. It is now proven that Eaker sons Christian and Peter, Jr. arrived west of the Catawba River in what is now Lincoln Co., NC about 1751-52. The large Mani/Mauney family arrived on the same ship with them and was also from Canton Bern."[2]

The Gastonia Gazette (1954) did a piece on an old (then) home in what is now Gaston County (Old Lincoln County) supposedly built by another son named Phillip.
