INTRO
My DNA are connected to the Ward lines and into Salisbury c. 1710 at the earliest or to the extent of the DNA capability.

RESEARCH
Researching independently the Eaton line has been arduous to say the least. There were quite an extensive name sake in England.
My paper trail of documents recently unveiled a family in Wiltshire, England; source: 'Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials; 1656'. shows a Eaton baptized in Wilkshire, son of Thomas. [see attached]

Following this vital record paper trail shows a good fit to the EATON lines in Salisbury.

PROBLEM
Further vital record tracings show it a possibility that the London claim may be in error.

DISCUSSION
If Thomas Eaton was a 'copper' [metal craftsman, stoves etc.] then the references to him being of royalty in London does not seem logical.
