  • Birth*: 1811, MD
  • Marriage*: 17 January 1839, Vermilion Co., IL, Bride=Lorinda Browning
  • Census 1840*: 1 June 1840, Vermilion Co., IL
  • Death*: April 1870, Henry Co., IL, Another death from small pox, - James Eaton of Munson, who has been for several day dangerously ill with the small pox and erysipelas combined, died on Monday afternoon last.
    Mr. Eaton was a well meaning, hard working, sober, reliable man. He has reared a large family, nearly all of whom have passed thought the ordeal to which he has succumbed. He settled upon the piece of land upon which he died eighteen years ago. An examination of the records in the Recorder's office reveals this entry: "Township 16 North, range 3 east. "Section 32, southeast quarter. United States to James Eaton. September 14 1852.
    No other scratch of a pen appears against any part of that quarter section. No clearer and simpler title to property has ever been transmitted by any man to his children than this. It illustrates something of the steady unwavering purpose that characterized the man.
