With three children, William and Martha sailed from Sandwich, June o, 1637. and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts, of which he was a proprietor in 1642. and a freeman in 1653.

(VI) Benjamin, eldest child of Willianf and Ruth ( Bradley) Eaton, married Anna Worthen, and resided in Candia. They had fourteen chil- dren. He was a soldier of the Revolution and served under Stark at Bennington. He died in 1835.

(VII) Lyman, son of Benjamin (2) and Anna (Worthen) Eaton, was born in December, 1812, in Candia, New Hampshire, where he was reared and. received a commion school education. Soon after attaining manhood he purchased a farm of one hun- dred acres in the town of Auburn, on which he settled and resided through life. He was an ac- tive citizen of the town, taking a prominent part in the conduct of its affairs. He was a regular atten- dant of the Methodist Church, and in political con- tests adhered to the Democratic party. He married Lucy Rich Brown. daughter of James Brown, of Wellfleet, Massachusetts, and they had seven chil- dren. Carrie, the eldest. is the wife of Charles Bowers, of Sanbornton, New Hampshire.

(VIII) Dr. Frank, son of Lyman and Lucy R. (Brown) Eaton, was born March 8, 1851, in Auburn, New Hampshire, and grew up on his father's farm there, receiving his primary education in the district school adjacent to his home. He was subsequently a student at Barnard Academy and entered Dart- mouth College in 1872. graduating in the medical course in 1876.

insane. He married (first), 1875. Luclla P. Know]- ton, daughter of Ezekiel Knowlton, of Stuckley, Province of Quebec. She died, 1889. He married (second), Lizzie Hoit, daughter of Horace Hoit, of Weare. Although there are a large number of Eatons in New Hampshire, the subject of this sketch is the only physician by that name in the state, a remarkable fact.

(V) James. third son of Rev. Benjamin and Anna (Rand) Eaton, was born August 25, 1735, in what is now Candia, New Hampshire. He settled on lot thirty-nine of third division of lands in ancient Chester, where he engaged in farming. His death was the result of a fall from a horse. He mar- ried, in 1760. Abigail Wood, daughter of Nathaniel ()) and Elizabeth ( Powell) Wood. She was born about the same time as himself and died in March, 1833. at the age of ninety-eight years. Their chil- dren were: Alexander, John. Sarah. Ebenezer, James, Betsey, Phoebe and Benjamin. Chase's History of Chester says that the first two and the last were soldiers in the Revolution. This seems hardly possible, as the last was not born until near the close of the Revolution. Chase's list of the children does not agree with the family record, but it is probable that this information related to some other family. The eldest son died in Londonderry. Chase says the second resided in Maine and others of the family lived in that state; this is probably true. The eldest daughter died in infancy. The third son is the subject of the succeeding paragraph. James died at Temple, Maine. Betsey died in Ches- ter after 1820. Chase says she married first a Baker and second a Webster.

(VI) Ebenezer, third son and fourth child of James and Abigail ( Wood) Eaton, was born Feb- ruary 13, 1768, in Candia. New Hampshire, and set- tled in Wilton. Maine, where he died October 19. 1838, in his seventy-first year. He married, Novem- ber 21. 1792, in Candia. Apphia Perley. She died at Wilton, March 15, 1828. . He married (second). at Jay, Maine, January 28, 1829, Patty Rowell. She died January 24. 1830, at Wilton. She was the mo- ther of two children, namely: John Rowell and David Perley. The children of the first marriage were: Sophia. Tappan, Jacob Perley, Ebenezer (died young), Joshua Perley. Apphia, Daniel. Ru- hamah, a son and daughter stillborn, Sally, Abigail and Ebenezer.

(VII) Ebenezer (2), youngest child of Ebene- zer (1) and Apphia ( Perley) Eaton, was born Sep- tember 27, 1814. in Wilton, Maine. He grew up there and subsequently resided in Lowell, Massa- chusetts, and Boston, Massachusetts. Supposed he fell a victim to cholera in 1849. He married, at Lowell. August 10, 1844. Cynthia Miles, born Sep- tember 13, 1813. in Sheffield, Vermont, a daughter of Thomas and Hannah Miles, and died in Bedford, New Hampshire, September 28, 1873. They had only one child, Cynthia Anna.

(VIH) Cynthia Anna, only child of Ebenezer (2) and Cynthia ( Miles) Eaton, was born Septem- ber 1, 1845. at St. Charles, Illinois, and became the wife of Silas Warren Bullock, now of Manchester, New Hampshire. (See Bullock VIII.)

(V) Major Jesse, seventh son of Rev. Benjamin and Anna (Rand) Eaton, died December 23, 1808. He was an early settler and lived on No. 61, second part, second division in Chester. He married Sarah Worthen, who died June 3, 1801. Their children were: Nancy, Mary, Sarah. Hannah, Jesse, Susan, Eleanor, Ebenezer, Love and Asa.

(VI) Nancy, eldest child of Major Jesse and Sarah (Worthen) Eaton, was born in Chester, April

30, 1775, and died January 19, 1857. She married Joseph Chase. ( See Chase, IX.)

(Third Family).

The present branch of the Eaton fam- EATON ily, although it is one of the oldest in country, embracing eight generations, does not appear to be connected with the two branches whose history has previously been written. Doubtless all are descended from a common Eng- lish stock.

(1) Jonas Eaton was one of four brothers who came to this country from England, but date of immigration is uncertain. He lived at Cowdrey Hill, Reading, Massachusetts, during the first half of the seventeenth century. He was in Watertown, Mass- achusetts, as early as 1643, for he bought and sold land there during that year. He was made freeman in 1653, served as selectman and held other town offices. He was a member of the first church in Reading in 1648. Jonas Eaton married Grace -

whose family name is unknown. According to one record they had eight children: Mary, born 1043. died unmarried in 1732; John, mentioned below ; Jonas, born 1047, died that same year; Jonas (2). born 1648; Joseph, 1651; Joshua, 1653; Jonathan, 1655; David, born and died in 1057. Another record gives Sarah, who married Joseph Dodge, in 1671. Jonas Eaton died February 24, 1674, and the inven- tory of his property shows him to have been a man of means for his day.

(If) John, eldest son and second child of Jonas and Grace Eaton, was born in Reading, Massachu- setts. September 10, 1645. He was called "John of the Plain," from the farm and house at Pine Plains. which he inherited from his father. He married Dorcas Green, and they had a family of twelve children : Jonas, born and died in 1677; Grace and Noah, born 16,8; Thomas, born 1679; Jonas (3), born 1680; Joseph, born and died 1681 ; Benjamin and Mary, born 1683; Joseph (2), whose sketch follows; Dorcas, born 16SS; Stephen, born 1689: Phebe, born 1690. Of these children, Grace married John Boutwell in 1695; Jonas (3) married Mehitable Gould, and removed to Framingham: Phebe mar- ried Jonathan Nichols in 1715. John Eaton died in 1691, at the early age of forty-six : his widow subse- quently married a man named Bryant.

(III) Joseph, seventh son and eighth child of John and Dorcas (Green) Eaton, was born about 1685. probably in Reading, Massachusetts. In 1709 he married Mary Pearson, of the adjoining town of Lynnfield, Essex county, whose family name ap- pears frequently in the names of her descendants, and is variously spelled in the different records. They had five children: Joseph (3). born 1711; Mary, born 17144, married Nathaniel Upton, 1734: Benjamin, born 1720; Sarah, born 1722; Pearson, whose sketch follows.

(IV) Pearson, third son and fifth and youngest child of Joseph and Mary ( Pearson) Eaton, was born in 1725, probably in Reading, Massachusetts. In early life he moved to the neighboring town of Lunenburg, where on March 6, 1758, he was ap- pointed fire warden, being chosen by his townsmen "to take care of fire and burn the woods." Pear- 11 (I), his eldest son, Pearson (2), and his fourth son. Benjamin, all served in the Revolution. Pears m Eaton (1) served from April 20 to April 30, 1775. Two months later, beginning May 29, he was en- rolled under Captain George Kimball. He served for two months and eight days of that year in Captain Tosinh Stearns' company, with Col nel Ephraim Doo- little's regiment, and was probably at Bunker llill. He re-enlisted in the same company in the fall of

1488

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

1775. In 1776 he served in Captain Zachariah Fitch's company, Colonel Samuel Brewer's regiment, from August 23, to September 14; and September 14, 1777, he enlisted in Captain Nathaniel Carter's com- pany, Colonel Job Cushing's regiment, and was at the battle of Saratoga and the surrender of Bur- goyne. While on the subsequent march to New York City he was taken sick and was sent home by the surgeon. After recovering he again enlisted, under Captain Carlisle, in Colonel Stearns' regi- ment, and served for six months; July 22, 1778, he enlisted under Captain Samuel King in Colonel Thomas Marshall's regiment, and served for nine months more. Pearson Eaton (I) married Anna Bryant, and they had ten children: Rebekah, born April 17, 1753; Pearson, born June 10, 1754; Joseph ; Anne; John; Benjamin, whose sketch follows; Wil- liam; Sarah; Ebenezer and Calvin, born November 5, 1774. Pearson Eaton (2) served in the Revolu- tion and part of each year from 1775 to 1780, ill- clusive. He was one of those who responded to the Lexington aların, and it is thought that he was the Eaton who was sergeant-major of Colonel Theo- philus Cotton's regiment in 1783.

(V) Benjamin, fourth son and sixth child of Pearson (I) and Anna (Bryant) Eaton, was born in Lunenburg, Massachusetts, March 4, 1762. When a boy of fifteen he enlisted with his father in Captain Nathaniel Carter's company, Colonel Job Cushing's regiment, September 14, 1777, and served for one month and eighteen days, which period included the battle of Saratoga and the surrender of Bur- goyne. The lad evidently imbibed a taste for martial life, for he followed the service a part of each year during the continuance of the war. On September 15, 1785, Benjamin Eaton married Lydia, daughter of John and Lydia ( Farwell) Ireland, who was born May 6, 1767. They made their home with Pearson Eaton, father of Benjamin, until the death of the latter, when they moved to Maine, where most of their cluldren married and settled. Benjamin and Lydia (Ireland) Eaton had ten children: Asa, whose sketch follows; Benjamin (2), married Mary Moore, and died at Skowhegan, Maine, at the age of ninety-one; Aaron, married Mary Bent, and died at St. John, New Brunswick; John, died in the navy, May 11, 1818, at the age of twenty-six; Mary, married William Searles, and died at Putnam, Con- necticut; Calvin, married Cynthia Shoals; Joseph, died in infancy ; Nancy, married Benjamin Ireland, and died at St. Albans, Maine; Sarah, married Stephen Youngman, and died in Maine; Lydia, mar- ried Noah Pratt, and lived in Skowhegan, Maine; Joseph, married (first), Deborah Connor; (second), Mrs. Charlotte Webb; (third), Mrs. Sarah Jane Gambel. Benjamin and Lydia ( Ireland) Eaton had sixty-seven grand-children, of whom thirty-seven belonged to their sons and twenty-six to their daugh- ters. Both Benjamin and his wife lived to a good old age. He died in Maine, May 24, 1839, at the age of seventy-seven, while she lived till January 22, 1855, her eighty-eighth year.

( VI) Asa, eldest child of Benjamin and Lydia (Ireland) Eaton, was born in Lunenburg, Massachu- setts, November 29. 1785. He was the first of the family to come to New Hampshire, though he spent most of his life at Springfield, Vermont, just across the Connecticut from Charlestown, where his death occurred August 17, 1866. He moved from New Ipswich, New Hampshire, to Springfield in 1809. He was a cooper by trade. Asa Eaton married Deb- borah Marble, and they had eight children: Ellis M., born March 8, 1806, married Betsey Parker ; Emily P., married Timothy Putnam; Maria, mar-

ried Jonas Butterfield; Darius J., whose sketch fol- lows; John P., married Emily J. Graham; Arvilla ; Mary ; Tiley O., married John Tower.

(VHI) Darius J., second son and fourth child of Asa and Deborah ( Marble) Eaton, was born in Springfield, Vermont, July 25, 1812. He attended the common schools of his native town, and when a young man moved to Acworth, New Hampshire, where he bought a farm of two hundred and twenty-five acres, one of the best in town. He was a very good and successful farmer and raiser of Durham cattle, raising a flock of from sixty to one hundred Merino sheep. He also engaged quite extensively in lumbering. He was a strong Republican, but refused to hold office. Both Mr. Eaton and his wife were members of the Congre- gational Church. In 1837 Darius J. Eaton mar- ried Belinda Spencer, daughter of Benjamin Levi

and Spencer. She was born in Charles- town, New Hampshire. They had eleven children : Eliza A., married Daniel C. Walker, lives in Charlestown; Belinda D., married Orin E. Fisk (not living) ; Darius Asa, lives in Charlestown; Benjamin L., deceased; Helen L., married George Johnson, and lives in Acworth, New Hampshire; John T., died young; Mary E., married Orville Putney, and lives in Washington, New Hampshire; Lyman B., whose sketch follows; Mason W., mar- ried Sadie Putney, lives in Claremont, New Hamp- shire; Tyla T., married Frank Putney, lives in Unity, New Hampshire; Aaron S., died young. Darius J. Eaton died March 7, 1889, and his wife died December 5, 1874.

(VIII) Lyman Butterfield, fourth son and eighth child of Darius J. and Belinda (Spencer ) Eaton, was born in Acworth, New Hampshire, March 28, 1855. He attended the common schools of his native town, and at the age of twenty-one went to Springfield, Vermont, where he was em- ployed for six years by Jonathan Butterfield in farming. Mr. Eaton then purchased an eighty acre farm in Langdon, New Hampshire, where he remained for one year. Returning to Springfield, Vermont, he farmed at halves for seven years, after which he purchased the farm in Charlestown, New Hampshire, where he now lives, consisting of sixty-five acres. Besides the farm he ownes various other lands of pine lumber. He con- ducts general farming, cuts one hundred tons of hay, keeps five horses, and is extensively engaged in lumbering. He makes a specialty of breeding full-blooded Canadian horses (registered stock ), and always keeps one hundred sheep. Mr. Eaton is a strong Republican, and has held the office of road agent at different times, amounting in all to ten years, but he has steadily declined to hold' other office. He attends St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Charlestown, of which his wife is a member. He is a charter member of Charlestown Lodge, No. 88, Independent Order of Odd Fel- lows, and of Charlestown Grange, No. 204. He is very active in the latter organization, has been past master of the local lodge twice, and belongs to the Sullivan County Pomona and State Grange. Ly- man B. Eaton married Oraetta A. Clark, born in Acworth, New Hampshire, February 10, 1855, daugh- ter of Daniel and Pamelia (Cram) Clark. There are no children. Mrs. Eaton belongs to the Charles- town Grange and to the Daughters of Rebekalı.

There ean be little doubt that the EATON line herein traced is of the same stock as the previous article, but a diligent search has failed to discover the connecting link.
