In the Feb. 1 issue of The Old Tryon County NC Gen. Soc. bulletin, there is information about a man named Bayles Eaves. "Petition on Behalf of Bayles Eaves", 1821-24. He had been convicted of mayhem "in biting off a small part of the ear of one John Vicars." The petitioners were hoping to get him released. My question is: who is this Bayles Eaves and how does he fit into the Eaves family of Rutherford County?
