Mr. C. K. Hill
Harriman, Tenn

Dear Sir		After much search I find some notes on
Eatons--copied from a Bible record in W. P. Eatons house
at Mrs Harveys in Harriman and confirmed by Mrs
Joe Fonte.  As I was working on the Donaldsons I
did not go into the Eatons very much and can not
say if there should be more or not--first Summers
book on South west Va gives a revolutionary soldier as one
Amos Eaton--I know no more.  Bible refered to has
Robert D. Eaton b. Nov 16, 1772 d. Jan. 31, 1854 Wife Jennet Eaton

2nd Ella Caroline Eaton b. May 27, 1837 m George Henry Boyd b___ d. 1886
he was a brother to Cornelia Narcissa B. above so double brotherinlaws
of Dr. Robt P. Eaton                        In one place I have one
Wm Donaldson b. 1822 m Amanda Worley; in another it says 

3
Wm Donaldson b 1822 m Amand Worley-Eaton         I can not
say which is right:  The Donaldsons were of Hamblin or Grainger
County; there may have been more Eatons born to Robert D. Eaton
1772-1854 or he may have had brother and Sisters
The Dr. R. P Eaton 1835-1905 may have been the one elected to
Senate from Roane Co Tenn about 1872.  I wish I could aid
you more but do not see that I can.
