There is no mention of anyone by the name Egner up through 1850, at least.There are many Knuths in Sparsee, but none by the name Friedrich Wilhelm Lebrecht was baptized there before 1850.
The church record duplicates are available through the Family History Center for most parishes in the Neustettin area, usually from somewhere around 1800 through 1874.Then there are civil records from 1874 through 1880-something, depending on the town.
Some of the parishes to check right around Neustettin:
Sparsee, Persanzig, Wurchow, Gramenz, Gross Kudde, Eschenriege.
There are others.Have you tried finding your people in the Hamburg ship's passenger lists?They usually give the name of the town a person came from.
Good luck.
