I am looking for any information on the Heaton family. Amos Heaton was an early settler of Davidson Co. and his son Robert, was in Cheatham,Robertson,Davidson,Dickson and other counties. Robert was the father of Free Will Baptist Denomination in Middle Tennessee. Robert kept a journal of his ministry and church records for several years. I am collecting any information on the Heaton family to be included in an article I am preparing for publication. If you are a descendant or have information on Amos Heaton and family I would greatly appreciate any help. The following is a Will I found on GenForum that includes list of Children: Will of Amos Heaton, 1795 March 4, 1795 I, Amos Heaton of Davidson County.... My daugher PRUDENCE EWRY(?).....also George Ewry.....My two sons Robert Heaton and Enoch Heaton all my lands lying on the east side of Lick Creek.... My beloved wife Elizabeth Heaton and my son Thomas Heaton all land lying on west side of Lick Creek .... My daughters Sally and Fanny.... My daughters Elizabeth Cain, Polly Heaton and Sally Heaton, 320 acres in Davidson Co on Harpeth and 400 acres on Bartons Creek and 214 acres on Parsons Creek both in Tennessee County ...sons Robert and Enoch Heaton Executors Witness Thomas Hickman, Benjamin Drake and Enoch Heaton. I also have a copy of Historical Marker in Davidson Co.: "HEATON'S STATION On this bluff in 1780, pioneers who came with James Robertson built Heatons' (also spelled Eaton's) station. It and two other forts (Nashborough and Freeland's) withstood all Indian attacks and saved the Cumberland settements. On the river below were successively a buffalo ford, ferry and Lock l. The home of Amos Heaton stood 100 feet north." Any Help would be appreciated: Jerry Whitworth Chipley FL. mizwhit@aol.com
