Hello -

I have the Joshua Eaton family in my Marion & Union Counties, OH
tree. My paternal grandmother's sister, Laura Bergandine married
Omar Eaton. I do not show a Clara, James or Oliver in my tree.

In my vertical, off-line files of misc. data I have collected over
the years, I see an e-mail from one Dave Eaton who says his gdfa.
Walter Eaton, son of Roy, m. Viola Watts and moved from Waldo &
Marion, OH to Tennessee. They had two sons Gary and Richard. This
e-mail is dated 18 Aug 2003.

The Eaton's are the only Mayflower name I have and as you can see it
is not in my direct line.
