Do you know where your family came from originally?. I have some information on Eagar's who went to South Africa from Co Kerry Ireland in the early 1820's. It's a little sketchy as its difficult to access BMD there.

Let me know and I will help if I can

I am very interested to know how you are related to John & Alicia Eagar. I know they had four children. Rowland, John Emily & Alice.
Alicia emigrated to the USA with her dau Wilhelmina in May 1854. John had emigrated in 1849. They married in NY in 1855. I'm sure you already know this.

It was Frederick John Eagar wrote the 1860 Eagar book. He was a brother of Alicia.

My great-grandparents were John Rowland Eagar and Alicia E. Eagar (cousins). Their share Alexander Eagar and Typhena Browne as great-great grandparents. Federick Eagar (married Alice Mason)is Alicia's grandfather. John F. Eagar and Sarah Benner are her parents. Is she related to Frederick John Eagar who created the revised edition? I'm very interested in John R. and Alicia's life in Ireland. They moved to the USA around 1855.

obit fyi: Bonnie Belcoe Eagar. 1955-2007

Nanatothree — 2007-10-31 23:30:20Z

PLEASE NOTE, THIS WAS POSTED FOR REFERENCE ONLY. I AM NOT RELATED TO, NOR AM I RESEARCHING THIS FAMILY, I’VE ONLY DONE A COPY AND PASTE FROM OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER FYI.

THIS INFO HAS BEEN POSTED WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE EDITOR OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD.

Bonnie Belcoe Eagar
Posted: Wednesday, Oct 31, 2007 - 10:04:32 am PDT
COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD, MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON STATE

Bonnie Belcoe Eagar passed away at home on Oct. 28, 2007, due to complications associated with breast cancer.

Bonnie was born Nov. 1, 1955, as Virginia Susanne Korten in Bremerhaven, Germany. She became Bonnie Belcoe when she was adopted as an infant by M.V. Steve and Amelia Belcoe. At the age of four, Bonnie left Germany with her new family and traveled to a new home in the United States. Bonnie was the daughter of a naval officer, which resulted in many moves across the country. After her father's retirement, the family settled in the Columbia Basin, first in the Royal Slope area and then in Moses Lake. Bonnie graduated from Royal High School in 1973. The following fall, she entered Brigham Young University (BYU). She received her B.S. degree in 1977. It was while she attended BYU that Bonnie met her husband, W. Dale Eagar. They were married on June 30, 1977. Bonnie and Dale were blessed with four children. The first two-Amber and Brianne-were born while the couple lived in Utah. They moved to Moses Lake in 1980 and were blessed with two more children-Kara and Zachary.

Bonnie was an active and admired member of her community where her involvement was spurred initially by her love and dedication to her own family. She began volunteering in the schools and classrooms of her children, and was later hired by the Moses Lake School District to serve in several positions, including Volunteer Coordinator, Community Resource Director, and finally School-to-Work Coordinator. After years of service with the Moses Lake School District, Bonnie accepted a position at the Columbia Basin Job Corp as their business-community liaison. She retired due to health reasons in June of 2007. Regardless of her position, the thing Bonnie enjoyed the most about her work was the chance to serve and interact with the wonderful people of Moses Lake.

Bonnie was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in April 2004. In spite of her diagnosis, she refused to let the cancer control her life and remained active and vibrant. Often when Bonnie was asked how she was doing, she simply replied, "I'm looking at the right side of the grass." Bonnie viewed her diagnosis as another opportunity to educate and serve. Following her retirement, Bonnie became involved with the Moses Lake Cancer Foundation.

Bonnie is survived by her husband, Dale; daughter, Amber Smith and her husband, Delmar, of Kirkland, Wash.; daughter Brianne Climer and her husband, Edward, of Vancouver, Wash.; daughter Kara Redd and her husband, Nathan, of Santa Clara, Calif.; her son Zachary Eagar and his wife, Lindsey, of Provo, Utah; four grandchildren, Joshua Climer, Julie Climer, Jessica Climer, Hannah Redd; and her brother Steve Belcoe of Casper, Wyo.

Funeral services for Bonnie will be held at 10 a.m., Friday, Nov. 2, in the Moses Lake Washington LDS Stake Center, located at 1515 S. Division St. Public viewings for the community and friends will be held 5 p.m. to 7 pm, Thursday, at Kaysers Chapel of Memories, and from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. immediately prior to the funeral service at the church.

In lieu of flowers, it was Bonnie's wish that memorial contributions be made to the Moses Lake Cancer Foundation, P.O. Box 1337, Moses Lake, WA 98837.

You have probably gotten many responses on this. I am John Eagars G.G. grandson, and have a lot of material on him, plus photos, a legal docket from his court in Manti, Utah, etc. Let me know the type of stuff you need, and I can probably supply it.

Thank you,

Re: Eagar family tree

peag1 — 2007-03-28 18:46:16Z

Its 3 years since you asked the question. By the mystery of the internet here is a reply.

The book you are asking about was called The Eagar Family and was written by my grandfather Edward Frank Eagar. It was privately published in the UK in 1958 (200 copies). It was a revised edition of the Eagar Memoir written by Frederick John Eagar which was published in Dublin in 1860.

Robert & Hannah Eagar Descendents

SandraHrncir — 2006-08-30 16:39:45Z

For any descendents of Robert and Hannah who aren't aware of it, there are portraits of both of them hanging in Lauren Rogers Museum, Laurel, MS. These portraits are originals with original frames and were passed down through their daughter, Medora Eagar Williams', family before ending up in Osyka, MS and donated to the museum from there.

I am interested if anyone has ever located information on Robert's death records and grave site in Tennessee.

Hi Frances,

Sorry I couldn't respond sooner. I've been having computer problems.

Please send your request directly to cottage4@msn.com. Then I can send you some Eagar genealogy, which is too long for this post.

I was wondering if your Eagar's ever spelled their name Agar? As you probably know their are variations of Eagar surname: Agar, Egar, Eager.
