Historical records from Eckes family members suggest that the Eckes family was related to the famous Marshall Ney who was from near Wallhausen and one of Napoleon's four Marshalls. Rumors have it that Ney lived in Bad Kreuznack and Somerloch where he had a daughter named Anna Marie Joerg 1806 and a son named Christian Eckes born July 29 1804. According to history Ney was killed by a firing squad in 1815, but a book written later claims he came to the US and lived in North Carolina.Any help would be appreciated.
