A while back someone was working on the Eaton's of Michigan and New York, just recently I decided to look up two Edward Eaton's and following there linkage back to their ancestor to disprove a connection to my line, John and Joan of Wales to Penn.
Edward 1, of Hilltown, Pa, I find several trees that claim this Edward b 1650 d 1706 son of Rev Joseph and Gwenlliam Morgan, was the same Edward who md Eliza Cole of NY. correction : Edward 1706-1778 spouce of Mary Howard widow Lewis, this marriage issued daughters, and this Edw was born to early to be the one in Michigan, with that being said the Edward who was married to Eliza Cole was the son of Edward the son of John and Martha Todd, this Edward b Bucks co 1769 d 1864 Ingham co MI. Now for the second Edward 2, of Macomb co Michigan, 1828-1901, born Connecticut to William Eaton 1793-1861 and Fannie Session 1795-1870, this linkage of Edward Eaton ancestor of John Eaton and Rachel Wright the son of Jonas and Grace Eaton of Staple Kent Eng. - NE
One thing that does not clear itself* Is the typed will of Edward of Hilltown, gives his children names and names Martha wife of James Shannon also spelled Sharon, while the will of Joseph Eaton husband of Jennet Ramsey names his daughter Martha not by her married name and she too was married to a James Sharon, still not proven as to the James Shannon Sharon , a typo? or two different James.
