TWENTY-FIRST GENERATION William Eaton, of Staple, son of Peter Eaton, born 1604-, emigrated in 1637. John Eaton, of Canterbury, son of Nicholas Eaton by his first wife, emigrated from England, 1635 settled at Dedham, Mass. William Eaton, (X1X) of Dover died before 1584. His widow Jane Eaton died that year (1584). She made her will August 27, 1584, and it was proved December 29 the same year. From this will we understand that she was a widow and executrix of the will of her late husband William Eaton. Her body was buried in the church yard of St. James at Dover. She names her (eldest) son William Eaton, her sons John, Peter and Nicholas, then under age, and gives directions for the education of Peter and Nicholas, that "they shall be kept for one year more in France, to learn the French tongue and shall afterwards be put to some science or occupation. She makes her son-in-law, Jacques (or James) Huggenson,her sole executor, and mentions "my other children."
