Kristy,I do have some connection to EATON family, but did not recognize the name James Madison EATON. Another researcher sent me a note on info she found while "surfing" that says James Madison EATON b. 2 June 1849 Springfield IL m. Elizabeth SMART/HUFFMAN b. 31 March 1854 "in Bandera TX, where she was from." My EATONs were from IL, so if I find anything more on James,I'll post it. Carole in California
