Thomas Eagar and Jane Spring had various children,one of whom was Walter Eagar, from whom the Ceylon Tea Planters descended,another was John Eagar,from whom Lt. Heny descended.They were distant cousins.
There name was originally spelt Eagar or Eager and at some stage this particular family changed thfe spelling to Agar.The are not connected to the Agar family of Normanton.The Eagar family came to Ireland in 1560.I always thought they came from Kent but I am not sure.
What is your connection with the Eagar family?
