I can check Bastrop Co. tax records for an EAVES who owned property. If he
did, it would also show how long he was in the county. I can do that in
town, possibly tomorrow.

If he's on the tax rolls, I can check Bastrop Co. deeds at the courthouse,
but that will have to be after July 4th.

> I am researching our EAVES/EVES family line and have come to a real brick
wall. The furthest back I can find reference to our Eaves family is in the
1900 Bastrop TX census. Because the mother of this family (MARY EAVES)
reportedly died in 1902, all of the children were "farmed" out by their
father to any neighbor who would take them. The oldest child, Sedrix was 8
and remembered his father's name as JOHN EAVES and mother's name as MARY
ROBERTSON. We have not been able to verify either. The 1900 Bastrop, Cedar
Creek census (as far as one can make out) is:

>Z.? T.? EAVES-- head--w-- m-- Dec 1851?-- Married 7yrs-- born MS-- father
> born AL-- mother born MS
> Mary-- wife-- w-- f-- Oct 1855?-- Married 7 yrs-- 4 child-- 4 children
> living-- born TX-- parents born TX
> Frederick-- son-- w-- m-- Dec 1893-- 6 yrs
> Ethel-- daughter-- w-- f-- Sept 1895-- 4 yrs
> Bartlett-- son-- w-- m-- Oct 1897-- 3 yrs
> No name?-- son-- w-- m-- Dec 1899-- 7mos
