Thanks, Lyle, for sending along the English ancestry of Wm. Eaton who m. Jane Hussey, father of Nicholas who was father of John b. 1611, the original immigrant in America. This is my line down through son John, Thomas, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Barsheba who m. Benjamin Russell. And their son Wm. Eaton Russell who m. a Hepburn had a son who founded the Pony Express, Wm. Hepburn Russell. Previously I had even seen birth & death dates and spouse surnames attached to some of William's ancestors. I have not seen the Eaton genealogy compiled by Nellie Moluneux but am both amazed and dubious that she could trace back this line so many generations...back to a Banqui Thane of Lochabar in 1000. Can this really be research that is based on accurate evidence? Is there anything more in the book other than a listing of these many generations?
