Surnames: EAKIN, GORDON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0dB.2ACI/4221 Message Board Post: One of William Eakin/Phebe Perry's sons was Samuel Eakin who married Susan Gordon. Samuel and Susan had a son William who was listed age 7 in the 1850 census and age 17 in the 1860 census for Scrubgrass Twp. My question: was he the same as the William D. Eakin who perished (with two of his sons) in the Oil City fires of June 5, 1892?
