"2 John2 Eaton (John1), of Salisbury, 'planter,' b. ab. 1619, commoner* and taxed, 1650 and '52, and later lists; member S. chh. 1677.† He m. Martha2 Rowlandson (Thomas1); d. Nov. 1,1682[S] [Oct. 30 probate]. Will Sep. 12, Nov. 28, Dec. 26, 1682. Wid. Martha member S. chh, 1687; d. July, 1712[S]."
*[footnote] "The earliest Eaton grants of land in S. were to his father, John Eaton, Sen. The John Eaton, commoner of 1650, was not 'Sen.' In his will, John,1 Sen., gave to his son John2 'all my living in Salis.,' and some land in Hv."
†[footnote] "He may have been in London in March, 1664-5, as John2 Hall (John>sup>1</sup>) wrote to his mother that he had then accidentally met there John Eaton, and said, 'I can discerne the face of a N: E: man though he forget mine.' Eaton told Hall the name of his 'new brother' [Rev. John Hale], who lived in 'Satto in N: E:' Hall quoted a saying of his 'Late father Worcester,' and seems to have sent the letter by Eaton. John1 Eaton, Sen., was living in 1665, but was probably too old to make the voyage to London."
