Sorry it took awhile to put together, I've been sick. I put together a very basic webpage concerning Johannes AEGENDER (AGNER). If anyone would like to Johannes' signatures, please go to the following website.

With him was his wife Catherine, age 75. Mathias Egner's son Solomon is said to have married Lydia Schuler in Lehigh Co. The Solomon Egner in Lawrence Co. had a daughter Lydia, born c. 1806, who m. Montgomery Miller and had 8 daughters. He also had a son named John Egner, b.c. 1821. John's census records show no children. The gap between Lydia's birth and John's suggests that Catherine ___ was a second wife and probably John's mother. In 1860 John was enumerated next to Solomon and Catherine. Lydia Egner and her husband Montgomery Miller are enumerated in the 1850 census of Lawrence Co., and then they disappear. Their children were still in Lawrence Co. in later census records, so it appears that one or both died between 1850 and 1860. Ann -- Ann Avery Hunter Richmond, Virginia mailto:annh@erols.com

We now have Rootsweb boards for both the AGNER and the EGNER surnames. You may wish to post on both, unless you definitely know your surname is not a variant of the other. For AGNER: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/a/g/AGNER/#gc For EGNER: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/e/g/EGNER/#gc I administer both sets of boards, so if you have any questions, just email me. Don't forget we also have boards for both surnames on GenForum o. ---Celia H.

Hello listers, Here is another article from the Eygner Eagles. This one July 1986. There is more in this particular issue that I will share another time. >From time to time I will post more of the articles that I think may be of interest. Please remember any information that these articles may contain should be treated as CLUES to your own research. =========================== (begin article) EYGNER EAGLE, VOL. I, NUMBER 2 ......as you have seen from that first issue not all of the lines are descended from that early PETER EYGNER. Another family was started in Pennsylvania by a JOHN MATHIAS EGNER/EIGENER according to an article on the EGNER family in The history of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania (1914) which was sent by DOROTHY SWEZAK of Bethleham, PA. JOHN MATHIAS arrived in Philadelphia on September 30, 1727 on the ship "Molly" supposedly the third ship on record "in the lists of arrivals of Germans at the port of Philadelphia". He is believed to have settled first in Lancaster County where sons JOHN and MATHIAS were baptized in 1733 and 1735 respectively. By 1739 he secured a warrant for land in Macungie township where he raised a family as a member of the Lutheran congregation at Lehigh Church. Dates aof birth and death are given as 1693 and June 20, 1771 and burial was in the Lehigh Church. 1 JOHN MATHIAS EGNER and his wife, ANNA ELIZABETHA had the following children: JOHN, b. 15 June, m. CATHERINE ?, d. 20 July 1796 Children: ANNA ELIZABETHA 1756, MATHIAS 1762, PETER 1765, JOHN 1769, MARIA 1772 MATHIAS, b. 29 June 1735, m. MARIA BARBARA KNAPPENBERGER (1742-1801). Children: MATHIAS 1762, PETER, HENRY 1767, JOHN and CONRAD?, twins 1771; DANIEL 1774, SOLOMON, CHRISTINA 1761, CATHERINE, EVA, ELIZABETH LUDWIG (**1/89 now believed to be son of JOHANNES AEGENDER ) HENRY, b. 8 January 1739, m. SUSANNA ROMIG (1745-1835), d. 2 November 1835. Children: ELIZABETH 1767, CATHERINE 1769, SUSANNA, MAGDELENA 1772, ANNA MARIA 1775, ESTHER 1777, SALOME 1779, CHRISTINA 1780, LYDIA 1783, RACHEL 1787, JUDITH 1791 This is the HENRY EGNER mentioned in the D. A. R. "Patroit Index" who according to this article had eleven children all daughters. I would be interested in seeing any service records or the D. A. R. application if it is available. ============================== (end of article) Note from the list owner: Anyone researching this line, please note there is WRONG or incomplete information listed above. If you feel you have a connection to this family, PLEASE goto the following site for more accurate information: http://www.kerchner.com/des735.htm There is still work that needs done on the Johan Mathias Egner--not all sons and grandsons are yet accounted for. Anyone who feels they have a connection to the Ludwig Aegender (who is listed above and often mistaken to be Johan Mathias Egner's son), PLEASE contact me at Gen_Searchin@yahoo.com as he is my ancestor. --Celia H.

AGNER, Raydah (ROWE); 89; Lynnwood WA; Port Angeles D-N; 1999-10-15 For more info one would need to get ahold of the Port Angeles D-N newspaper to get the obit from the Oct. 15, 1999 newspaper.

Goto http://digital.library.pitt.edu/pittsburgh/search.html#simple and type in EGNER. Then click on the results (at this time only one, Theresa Egner Bierweiler). In brief there is an entry for the word EGNER in John Woolf Jordan's book, Vol. 2 Genealogical and personal history of western Pennsylvania; editor-in-chief, John W. Jordan. Summary of the entry: Charles Nock, son of Charles and Catherine (Becht) Nock, was born in Germany, March 29, 1857.............He married, in 1883, Bertha Bierweiler, a native of Germany, daughter of Peter and Theresa (Egner) Bierweiler, her parents born in Germany. Peter Bierweiler learned the trade of carpenter in the land of his birth, there married, and in 1870 came to Pennsylvania, making his home in Pittsburgh, later moving to Emsworth, Pennsylvania, where he and his wife died. Their children, all of whom they brought to the United States: Joseph, Clemmons, Rosa, Bertha, of previous mention, married Charles Nock; Catherine. Children of Charles and Bertha (Bierweiler) Nock: 1. Walter G.....2. Leona A. K.......3. Stephanie B., married Arkland H. Merry.......

Hey, fellow researchers, Forgive me if this gets to some of you more than once. I'm trying to reach every Agner/Egner researcher I know. I'm happy to say that after over 6 months of requesting, we finally have a GenForum for both EGNER and AGNER. The URLs are: http://genforum.genealogy.com/egner/ http://genforum.genealogy.com/agner/ So in addition to the sites at FamilyHistory.com and the mailing lists at Rootsweb, we now have two more valuable places to list our information! I encourage everyone to post information on your ancestors at both places on the GenForum, as some people do not know that Egner can be a variant of Agner -- and vice versa, or they can be totally different. Please do this at your earliest convenience, as they do monitor the new names and if there's no activity after the first 4 weeks, they remove them. I've already posted a bit on mine. Let's make sure they know we want our Forums! If you know of other researchers, please be sure they know about the new GenForums. I sent this to everyone on both of my lists, as well as a blind copy to 25 other researchers that I've been in contact with over the past year. That's a total of about 65 people! Happy Holidays and Happy Hunting, everyone! ---Celia :o)

Hi, I have a Joseph EGNERb 1856 d 1932 m Mary DREXLER. Father was Wenzel b 1824 d 1900 . Joseph and Mary came to the US in 1883. Wenzel was said to have followed in 1889 or 1890. On Wenzel's death Certificate his mother is said to be Maria AGNER. Joseph and Mary are listed as being from Hirschbergen, Bohemia, Austria. Does anyone out there have anyone like that? I am really stuck. Any help would be appreciated Cilla cilla@execpc.com

im looking for information about a Gustav Frederic AIGNER b. in TX. It is believed that his dad came from Germany. He was married to a Marie Reese b. in Austria. they had at least 3 boys. Thanks Kelly Williams

i had a question. who would i send my post to. do i send it to you and then you send it out or do i just reply to a Aigner letter member and it goes to all of them o do i just type in all their addresses in the send to box? thanks kelly

I honestly do not know about Aegerter. I have seen this name before, but not in association with our Agners. The only way we may ever know is to find church records on our Aegenders in Switzerland before they came here, which as far as I know, no one has attempted -- yet. It's on my someday wish list though. --Celia H. :o) ----- Original Message ----- From: Hope Peterson <HopePeterson@webtv.net> To: <EGNER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, December 02, 1999 5:12 PM Subject: Re: [EGNER] "My" Agners > I FOUND IT!

I FOUND IT! The name found in Zweisimmen, St.Stephan & Boltigen was Aegerter. I don't know ifthis could be same family?

My friend who goes to Switzerland every year gave me some names from the area the Agners came from. Alas, I thought I could just pull my "Agner" file and it would be there but it is not. I moved recently . Poor excuse. I may have to ask her to do it again in the spring. Thanks to all for the interesting info you are sending to me. I'm overwhelmed! Incidentally, I have a good deal of info on the Wirbel family - now called Varble. Dorothea Eigener m Philip Wirbel .

The family of this Agner/Agender/etc has been pretty well researched - probably because Phillipina married Daniel Little, Jr. Daniel and his brother, Peter were Revolutionary War patriots. Their descendants are able to jioin the DAR/SAR. My husband is the descendant, not I. He is not ineterested. I will put my notes etc on this list. It is long. If you don't want to read all that, just delete it. I am not a genealogist, I have relied on others. I have several books and excerpts will follow. Pat McAlister in AR Johannes Agner -They use Agner in the Rowan Co, NC Heritage book 1. Johannes* AGNER was born in 1687 in Gemeinde Boltigen, Switzerland. [I found a Gemeinde, Liege, Walloon Region, Belgium and a Boltigen, Bern, Switzerland.] He died in 1757 in Rowan Co, NC. Born in Gemeinde Boltigen in the District of Ober-Simmenthal in Kanton Bern, Switzerland. [That info came from the Little Bit - the newsletter for the Descendants of Capt. Daniel Little] M:Margaretha-(1718) had at least 6 children In 1731, when the youngest child was two years old, Johannes and his family migrated to Pennsylvania. They arrived in Philadelphia on Sept.21, 1731 on the Britannia sailing from Rotterdam, Holland by way of Cowes, England. See Little File.-and Heritage of Rowan Co Book The names of the family of Johannes Eigener as they appeared on the ship's list were: 1 - Katherina Eigenter age 12 (1719) 2 - Henricks Eigenter age 10 (1720) 3 - Dorothia Eigenter age 6 (1725) 4 - Anna Kreta Eigenter age 5 (1726) 5 - Ludwig Eigenter age 3 (1728) 6 - Magdelena Eigenter age 2 (1729) Johannes and his family settled in Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania and became members of the Jordan Lutheran Church. Four of the six children married at that church between the years of 1741 and 1748. The oldest sister and the youngest apparently did not marry. Children: 1 - Katharina Eigenter unmarried? b:c1719, Switzerland 2 - Heinrich Eigener m: Marta Catharina b:c1721 3 - Marta Dorothea Eigener m: Philipp Wirbel (20 Jan 1747) b:c1725 4 - Anna Marcretha E. m: Ludwig Zimmerman (15 Dec 1741) b:c1726 5 - Ludwig Eigener m: Christina Mahn (11 Oct 1748) b:1728 6 - Magdalena Eigener b: 1729 1747 - Johannes was naturalized in Burks (Berks or Bucks) County, PA, the same year that the first child of Henry and his wife Maria Catharina was baptized at the Jordan Lutheran Church in Whitehall Township, Lehigh Co, PA. Sometime within the next ten years Johannes joined his son Henry and his family and his daughter, Dorothea and members of her husband's family in a migration into Rowan Co, NC. We do not find records showing that Johannes took up land but Henry did. Henry settled on 320 acres in Tract #9 of the McCulloh Land Grant on the east side of the South Fork of Crane Creek. This deed was signed on 28 December 1761and his closest neighbor was Henry Grub, with a grist-mill and dam on Crane Creek to the east of Henry's land. 1757 - Johannes wrote out his will (recorded-1758-Will Book A) in Rowan County on 24 January 1757 at the age of 70. The will was probated on 22 April 1758 with Conrod Michael acting as Executor. The original is in German in the Archives in Raleigh, NC. We have on record papers showing that Johannes Agender, in the prescence of unnamed children assigned Conrad Michel (a close friend of Daniel Little) to collect his paternal and maternal inheritance in Switzerland. The witnesses were Georg Brunner and Conrad Michel. (We do not know whether this mission was accomplished since Conrod Michael returned to Germany in 1763 or 64 and Johannes had apparently died before this time. Conrad also died within a few years without returning to America. Heinrich Eigener m:Maria Catharina (c.1746) b:1721---d:17 Dec 1792-Rowan Co,NC 1761 - Another neighbor of Henry's was Jacob Wirbel whose son had married Henry's sister Dorothea in Pennsylvania so we might assume that these families came south together, and settled in the German settlement along Crane Creek. In the 1761 list of taxables made by Constable Michael Brown we see the names of Henry Agender and Philip Warbl (Wervill), proving their residency in that district. 1786 - Within this period of time those holding property adjacent to the plantation of Henry Agender included the father-in-law of his daughter Dorothea. Jacob Wervil, Frederick Fisher, Conrod Brea, John Williams, Anthony Salt, Jacob Frailey and the Dutch Meeting House (Pine Church) where Phillippina Eigernern and Daniel Little (Luttel) had taken their first communion. 1790 - On 20 January 1790 Henry Agender wrote out his will, which was probated in 1792. The diary of Pastor Carl August Gottlieb Storch notes that he buried "Old Eiginer" on 17 December 1792. see file for Henry's children In the Will Abstracts of North Carolina - Johannes Agender - Jan. 24, 1757 - 70 years old-in the presence of unnamed children assigns Conrod Michel to collect his maternal and paternal inheritance in Switzerland. Witnesses:Georg Brunner, Conrod Michel - Original in German At the Archives Eigener - Aegnor - Agender - Agner - Ignor - Using Agner - it's simpler

>From The Heritage of Rowan County - NC, Book: The Agners lived on a 300 - acre track of land on the northwestern frontier in what is now Lehigh Co, PA for more than 15 years. We know that Johannes Agner was there because of his sponsoring a baptism in Egypt Reformed Church; because of his name on a land warrant for 300 acres in present-day Lehigh County; because of the listing of his children on Jordan Lutheran Church records in Lehigh County; his advertisement in a newspaper to sell his land; and his naturalization as a British citizen in Pennsylvania in 1747. (Henry Agner's property-go down Bringle Ferry Road to High Rock lake. The property is situated between Union Creek and the creek now known as Church Creek) It is not known what caused them to leave beautiful Switzerland, but probably religious freedom and econmoics. Once situated on the beautiful 300 care tract in Pennsylvania, why did they leave and go to North Carolina? There was a land speculator named Henry McCulloh who had received a grant for 1,200,000 acres of land in Piedmont North Carolina providing he would settle 6000 foreign Protestants on that land in a ten-year period of time. It was choice land and it was not as threatened by hostile Indians as in Lehigh County, PA. The word got to Pennsylvania, Germany and Switzerland of this opportunity and the resulting migration was referred to as the "Carolina Fever."Johnannes son, Henry (Henriks), and with him probably two of his sisters and their husbands, went to Rowan County and settled on McCulloh's tract number one. The Agner family has been associated with Union Lutheran Church since its beginning, when it was known as the Dutch Pine Meeting House, which dates to the 1770s and possibly earlier. Many are buried in the Union Church Cemetery. Souces:In the Edith M.
