Egners of Erbach, Starkenburg, Hesse-Darmstadt

Has anyone done research on the Egner and/or Spatz families originating from around Erbach-im-Odenwald in the Starkenburg region of Hesse-Darmstadt? Many of the Egner men were butchers ("Metzgermeisters"), while the Spatzes were tailors ("Schneidermeisters) in that part of Germany. I know of least 10 Egners and 5 Spatzes who emigrated from Erbach to Manhattan between 1850 & 1885. Thanks to anyone who can share information on these families.
