Jager is from 'Flemish Bynames from 1400-1600' ( http://www.s-gabriel.org/docs/bruges/ , 'der Jaeghere' 1400-1550'.

Draak is from Dictionary of German Names by Hans Bahlow (translated by Edda Gentry) p85 s.n. Draa(c)k. which cites a J. van deme Drachin 1363, C. Draache 1357, and notes the forms with a k (not a ch) as Low German
