Hello, Sorry it took me so long to write back, we've been out of town..... I haven't been working on my family tree for too long so any information you would like to share with me would be so appreciated. My line of the Eakers goes: My Dad, William Dewey Angel. My grandma, Velma Edith Eaker. My great-grandpa, Dewey Roosevelt Eaker, then Thomas Sherman Eaker, then Thomas Andrew Jackson Eaker, then Lorance Eaker. I have all the information on Velma, including her siblings. If you have any, the information I'm missing is: 1. For Dewey Roosevelt Eaker, his marriage date, siblings, and any other information of interest that might be listed for him. I have his birth and death dates, but no cause of death or where he's buried. 2. Thomas Sherman Eaker. I have his birth, marriage and death dates. But I don't know any of his siblings. I know he was blind and had his eyes removed after they became diseased. I have a picture of him, he always wore aviator goggles because of that. Family stories say that he was well known for being able to always guess the weight of hogs even though he couldn't see. People would always try to fool him, but he was always right to within a pound. They often made bets on him. If you have any other information of interest on him I'd love to have it. Also anything like cause of death and where he's buried. 3. Thomas Andrew Jackson Eaker. I have his birth, marriage and death dates, but I don't know any of his siblings. Also any other interesting info., cause of death and where he's buried. 4. Lorance Eaker. All I have is this name and who he married. I have no dates, siblings or any other information on him at all. 5. Emma Idella Fowler. I know she married Thomas Sherman Eaker. I have her birth, marriage and death dates, but absolutely nothing else. 6. Bakers. I know I'm related, but I haven't figured out where they come in at in my ancestry. I remember my grandma, Velma, always saying that we were related to the man they named Sam A. Baker state park after. She never said how though, or if she did, I was young enough and at the time not interested in family history enough, to remember it. Thank you so much for anything you send me. How are you related to the Eakers? I'm finding that it is a Huge family. I still keep in touch with relatives who still live in and around Marble Hill. I don't know much myself, but any information I have that you might need I'd be happy to share. My grandma just died last year and she lived several of the last years with my parents, so I can tell you a lot about her. I know bits and pieces about her siblings but I only usually share info about the deceased ones unless I get permission from the ones still alive. Most of her family lived far enough away that I knew them and saw them several times in my life, but I didn't really know them very well. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Take care and I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi, Cousin, I am kin to all of the above. My father is Melbern James, his mother is Hollie Jane Eaker who is sister to Uncle Dewey. I am not sure just how to start answering all of these wonderful questions so I have printed them and will answer them one at a time. I have our family history on the Eakers back to the dark ages thanks to a lot of good cousins working on our family. I have the Ford and Fowler families back some generations. I will send you a little bit at a time. Where do you live? I live just over the hill from the cemetary where Lorance Eaker and his families are buried. We will have to see about getting to gether for a trip to the cemetary after the weather gets a lot better. I must get busy.
