It is stated that hewas born in Fulkers, Dusseldorf, Duch of Neuburg, Germany.  Nicholas wasborn about 1678 in Germany; emigrated to Virginia in 1717 with his wife,Mary, and two children, Adam and Mary.  Nicholas' second wife wasSusannah (presumed to be the widow of Jacob Crigler) whom he married inVirginia.  No issue.

Later there were many marriages betweenYagers and Wilhoits.  Nicholas was nicknamed "Old Nick".  He died April6, 1764.
