 Includes NotesNotes for James Eagle:
James Eagle, the eldest child of Joseph Eagle, was eighteen years old when he left No. Carolina for Tennessee, where he lived ten years. Coming to Arkansas in 1839, he first located in Pulaski County, now Lonoke, Lonoke Co., Arkansas, about twenty miles northeast of Little Rock, and there opened up a farm, which he followed all his life with success. During the Civil War he went to Texas as a refugee, and died near Austin, TX in the fall of 1863. James Eagle was a man of remarkable energy and perseverance, as was illustrated by his career through life. He started a poor man, but by using good judgment in his financial transactions and stock deals, slowly built up a competence and then a fortune. At the opening of the Civil War he owned about thirty slaves, besides valuable farms, stock and other property, and was one of the most substantial men in this section of the country.
