Plymouth is presumed to be the locale of birth due to the Eaton family's settling in Plymouth up to Francis Eaton's death prior to 8 Nov. 1633 as the "25 Nov. 1633 court... declared... insolvent." |

|
One is percieved to have been developmentally disabled and/or challenged according to William Bradford's discription as "an ideote." |
| Death[1][2] |
Aft 1651 |
Massachusetts, United StatesMassachusetts was likely the locale of death, because ones mother [Christian Penn] resided there the rest of her life - up to her death, whom one was dependent upon as "an ideote [idiot]" according to William Bradford's mention of the Eaton family member in his list of "increasings and decreasings," - "written early in 1651." |
Unfortunately, William Bradford never mentioned or implied, in his 1651 list of "increasings or decreasings," the sex of the offspring that he critically referred to as "an ideote;" resulting in the loss of the individuals name for the succession of history and generations. However, given the custom of patriarchy to marry women off as soon as possible in the time, logic highly assumes that one was probably a male.
