This family is of German origin. In 1732 and 1734, three brothers, John, John Veit and Peter Yeager, came to America, and settled in a part of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, that later became Montgomery County.
He was one of the earliest settlers in Lykens valley, Pennsylvania, and his name appears in the first list of the inhabitants of Upper Paxtang. He served with distinction all through the Revolutionary War. He was a member of Capt. Albright Deibler's Company of Associators in 1776, of Capt. John Rutherford's in 1777-79, and of Capt.
