Re: Jesse Eaton
I have noticed that there are some who believe that Jesse Eaton, or the son of Isaac Eaton and Phoebe Hall, and a third great grandfather of mine, was named Jesse Joseph Eaton and died in Bedford County, Tennessee. His name was, in fact, Jesse but there is no documented evidence to show that his middle name was "Joseph" or, for that matter, his middle name even started with a "J." Also, Jesse lived in Rutherford, Bedford, and Lincoln counties in Tennessee, and it was in Lincoln County where he died between 1860 and 1870. He was born about 1790 in Rowan County, North Carolina.
