In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies.

Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Eaglins to arrive on North American shores: Robert Eglan, who settled in Maryland in 1737; and James Egland, who arrived in New York, NY in 1823.
