Biographical History
Indian trader, who together with Godfrey Harding received a license in August of 1739 from South Carolina governor William Bull to trade with the Chickasaw Indians.
Complying with instructions from Charleston, the traders had assisted and were with the Chickasaw during French Louisiana governor Bienville's second campaign against the Chickasaw forts. Eggin and Harding later travelled to Bienville on the Mississippi in an attempt to regain horses lost in the attack. There, upon news of a formal declaration of war between Britain and France, they were detained and transported to a French prison in Brest, where they remained in 1746.
