The Eatons came to Limestone Co. TX with the Parkers in 1833. I know that is way early for your bunch but could be some earlier connection. My Lindleys were in Shelby/Coles Co. IL before coming to TX in 1833 I think with the Parkers but no proof of this only that they left IL at the same time & got to TX at the same time as the Parkers. Samuel Washington Lindley my ancestor had a bro. that was Simon Lindley who went to Sangamon Co. IL & he was a Minister in the same church the Eatons & Parkers were in. Lots of connected names & places here. Pat Oates in TX. At 05:11 PM 7/11/2001 -0400, you wrote: >Pat, I am currently researching the Wilson Family however not the names you >mention at this time.
