FEAGIN

The name Feagin is found to be spelled in various ways.  Fagin, Fagan, Fagans.

Richardson "Richard Feagin lived in Covington County, Alabama, and was married to Mary Anne (Uncertain).  They would have at least eight children, three boys, and five girls.  The sons would all be named after presidents:  Andrew Jackson, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson Feagin.  Of the eight children, at least three would make the move to Brazil, sailing on the "Margaret", in July 1867, as part of Lansford W. Hasting's attempt to form a colony at Santarem, Brazil.  They were part of the approximately 34 passengers who set sail from Mobile.  Those that made the move were:  Andrew J Feagin, Thomas J. Feagin, and their sister, Emily "Emma" Feagin Piec-howski.  The boys were unmarried.  Emma had married in 1863 to Louis Piechowski in Mobile and they had one daughter in 1865 "Annie that made the move.

 

The father, Richard, would die young at the age of 36 in 1851, leaving a young widow with eight small children.  Mary Anne, the widow, would marry secondly in 1858, Andrew J. Coward, a widower - his first wife dying in  1855.  Andrew brought into this marriage five young children.

 

The Piechowski family was back in the United States shortly after 1875 and it is assumed that the two Feagin brothers came back about the same time.  We know that Thomas died in 1924 in Alabama.  It is not clear where or when Andrew Died
