Excerpt from Ancestry and Descendants: Of Sylvanius Eaton, Jacob Swetland and Christopher Reynolds

The earliest known ancestor of the family was William Eaton, of Dover. Eng, who died before theyear1584, probably not long before. And left a will which has not been found. His widow, Jane Eaton, died'that year. She made her will August 27. 1584, and it was proved December 29 of the same year. She was the executrix of the will of her late husband, William Eaton. Her body was to be buried in the churchyard of St. James at Dover. She gave special directions for the education of Peter and Nicholas. That they shall be kept one year or more in France, to learn the French tongue, and shall after wards be put to some science or occupation. She makes her son-ih-law, Jacques Huggenson, her sole executor. And mentions my other children. The wife of Jacques or James Huggen son was Joyce Eaton, and one of the other children was Barbara, wife of Allen. Barbara Allen received letters of administration on her father's estate January 27, 1584-5, a few weeks after her mother's death.

Excerpt from Ancestry and Descendants: Of Sylvanius Eaton, Jacob Swetland and Christopher Reynolds

The object of this record is to preserve the material collected by many years of research in tracing my ancestry in the Eaton, Swetland and Reynolds families, and their descendants from certain individuals. In order to make the record more complete, I have copied from pamphlets, manuscripts and various historical sources, and especially from genealogical manuscripts by the late Prof Daniel C. Eaton of Yale University.

If the Records here given shall aid others in making a complete genealogical record of the Eaton family, then my object will have been fully realized.
