• Notes

  Bradford tells us that on the Mayflower were "Franis Eaton and Sarah his wife, and Samuel son, a young child." and then in 1651 reports that "Francis  Eaton his first wife died in the general sickness, And he married again and his second wife died, and he married the third and had by her three children. One of them is married and hath a child. The others are living but one of them is an idiot. He (Francis Eaton) died about 16 years ago. His son Samuel who came over a sucking child, is also married and hath a child" [Bradford 443, 446-47]. Banks presents evidence than Francis Eaton may have been from Bristol in England [English Homes 52; see also Waters 1054]. ____________ From FindaGrave: 'Mayflower' passenger and 9th signer of the Mayflower Compact. Son of John Eaton and Dorothy Smith. Born in Bristol, Avon, England. Baptised on 11 SEP 1596 in St. Thomas, Bristol, Avon, England. Husband of Christina Penn. Father of Rachel, Samuel and Benjamin Eaton. NOTE: FRANCIS EATON DOES NOT HAVE A TOMBSTONE - BURIAL LOCATION SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Eaton_(Mayflower_passenger)
