EATON: The Elmwood Eatons (Softcover)
by Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eaton. 29p
An antelope's head proper, gorged and attired gules, is the crest of the family. The motto "Invia virtuti peritia" is associated with them. The family history includes connections to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, with records found in the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston.
The monograph on the Olivebranch Hamilton published in 1894 is available in many libraries in the US and Great Britain. The family founder, William Eaton, was born in 1823 and passed away in 1893. He was known for his public service and held various positions in the community.
The Eaton family's lineage is traced through generations, with strong ties to Nova Scotia. The family's hospitality and social standing were highly regarded, with a notable connection to Judge Johnstone and other Tory leaders. The family's matriarch is remembered as a noble and kind woman, leaving a lasting impact on her descendants.
