EATON posted by Jacque Wallingford on Friday, May 1, 1998

The Eaton's listed in the 1795 Tax list of Woodford County, Kentucky is the children of George Eaton, Sr. George Eaton Sr. came from Pennsylvania to Rowan, North Carolina. Around 1787 some of the family moved to Woodford County, Kentucky. George Eaton Jr came with his brothers, James, John, and Joseph. In some records it shows that George Sr had a daughter Sarah, so the Sarah could be the sister of George, James, John and Joseph, but I have no proof. My line is George Eaton, Jr. who moved to Posey County, Indiana around 1812 from Kentucky. Which Eaton is your line? Would like to hear from you on what information you have on the Eaton's..

Rita, Elizabeth Francis SHIELDS, a daughter of John SHIELDS and Esther BLAKE married Henry C. THOMPSON, a brother of my GGFather. I found John and Esther in the 1850 Census for Woodford County.

I have checked three sources (one book of marriages and two Bruderbund CD's)for their marriage and have not found it. Do you know the names of John SHIELDS' parents? Are they James Shields and Martha Paul? I got Esthers' last name off of Elizabeths Death Certificate..
