To Whom It May Concern: I am interested in knowing more about my mother (Vera June Eaton Nelson)'s paternal family history. Her grandfather was Robert William Eaton, born in Pittsburgh, PA on 27 June 1846. He came to California in 1874 with his wife, Anna Loretta Van Tries to whom he was married at Black Jack, Kansas on 27 December 1870. They had seven children; the second son, Orrin Oakley Eaton, was my mother's father. He was born at Baldwin City, Kansas 16 May 1874, the year the family came to California, settling in Watsonville, CA in 1875. The following five children (four boys and a girl) were all born in Watsonville, CA. My mother, Vera June Eaton Nelson, was born in Watsonville, CA on 9 June 1901. Her mother was Maud Skinner Tuttle, a young widow, having married Orrin Oakley Eaton around 1896. My mother will be 97 years old this coming June 9; but unfortunately, she has lost most of her memory and can not help me very much. I would appreciate any help or advice you can give me. Thank you very much, Marilyn Nelson Clark marilyn533@aol.com
