The item about the ancestry of Bennett Eliot of Nazeing, Essex
(who has many descendants) is an important discovery.


Perhaps this is of interest:

An article by Douglas Richardson in TAG 68 (1993): 48-54 shows that
John Eaton of Salisbury, Mass. was from Hatton co. Warwick, his
children John, Anne, Thomas, Elizabeth and Ruth being of record there.
The identity of John Eaton's wife Anne was not discovered.

Ive found a good possibility in the will of John Davie of
Berkswell, co. Warwick (a nearby parish), proved
in the PCC in 1624 (42 Byrde) which mentions daughter Agnes
wife of John Eaton & her children John & Anne.

I have not checked local wills (Archdeaconry of Coventry)
because they do not seem to be in the FHL collection.

Thanks, Leslie, this is a helpful clue. Two of my great-great-

Unless there's a peculiar including Hatton or Berkswell, all the
Coventry wills were kept together in a single series for the united
diocese of Lichfield & Coventry, which is available on FHL films--I did
not think there was a separate probate jurisdiction for Coventry as an
archdeaconry, or at least the wills are not so kept now. The printed
index for all of Lichfield & Coventry down to 1640 does not list
testators' parishes (only surname, first name, and probate year)--the
manuscript index needs to be consulted for parishes.

For example, James Covell of Martha's Vineyard, was "in New England"
in his mother's will, proved in London by his brother Ezra.


Also, Abigail Salter, wife of John Hammond of Watertown, Mass.
was a daughter of George Salter of Dedham, Essex.
George appears to be the son of Edward Salter of Monks Eleigh,
Suffolk, Bachelor of Divinity.
Edward was the son of Blase Salter of Terling, Essex.

How do you know it's a family/person who has colonial ties? Do you
specifically only look for language in the wills? But even then, how
did you find the Salter connection to Hammond? Do you have an
encyclopedic memory for English families who came to North America?
I'm curious as to your methodology.

I have an encyclopedic memory, to some extent,
but Ive also made a database of my own,
which tells where many colonists came from

Here is the genealogical summary of descendants of my g-g-grandparents
I submitted to the Eaton webmaster a while back. He responded once,
had done some digging of his own and seemed concerned that a couple of
the children of Thomas and Eunice Cox were baptized under different
names (records I had not seen, but which I explained to my
satisfaction ... though perhaps not to his). Anyway, in case he
doesn't ultimately accept the information (which _he_ emailed me about
first, anyway), I'd like it to be available somewhere on the 'net ..

Merrimac, Massachusetts. (One daughter.)

A couple additions from other old letters that turned up:

Muriel Brooks was the daughter of William and Ella (Shaw) Brooks of
Northside, New York, and Enfield, Connecticut.

Unconnected to this family, but also of Eaton descent and in the Eaton
database was Grace Lillian Eaton who m. Edwin "Mosher." A letter from
one of my grandmother's friends from Merrimac, Louise Tucker Hardy of
Panama City, Florida, gives the name as Edwin B. MOSER, b. 1855 d.
1903, buried in Church St. Cemetery, Merrimac, Massachusetts. Grace
Lillian is buried in the same place; had died in 1942 at Amesbury,
Mass. They must have had at least one son in addition to daughter
Mabel, as Louise's brother Tom Tucker is stated to have married Dora
Moser, granddaughter of Edwin and Grace (Eaton) Moser.
