TliP rocky slopes for cincnild had clmnKcd their Kurb of Krny
When the vessels from ("oiinccticiit cniiu' HiiilinK up the liay;
TliiTt! wtTP (liaiiioiidH oil every wiive Ihiit drc^w the Htraiitfers on,
And wreaths (if wild at biitim decked the brows of Hloinldon.
Five years in desolation the Acadian land had lain.
Five golden liarvcsl inootis had wooed the fallow llelds. in vain.
Five times the winter snov.s <'aress<Ml, and snniiiier sunsets miiilcil
On lonely cliinipH of willows, and fruit t recs Krow-injj wild.
There was silence in the forest, and alnn^ the Miima shore,
And not a habitation from Cnnanl to Heaiisr.jour,
Hut many a ruined cellar, and many ii broken wall,
Told the story of Acadia's prosperity and fall.
And even in the sunshine of tlmt peaccfcl day in ,Junc,
When nature swept her liarp and foniM her strings in jierfcct tunc,
'I'lie land seemed (iilliiij; wildly for i'.s owners, far away.
The exiles scattered on tlie coast from Maine to Charleston Hay.
Where with many bitter loiiKinKs fcT their fair liomes and their dead.
They Imwed their heads in aiiKiiisli, and would not be comforted,
And like tlie .lewisli exiles, loiiK a^o, beyond the sea
They could not siuK the soups of home in their captivity.
Hut the simple Norman peasant-folk shall till tlie land no more.
For tlic vessels from {"onnecticut have anchored by the shore.
And many a stunly I'uritun, his mind with .Scripture stored,
Uejoicea ho has found at last "the garden of the Lord."
There arc families from Tolland, from Kiilins^worth and Lyn'-,
(lentlc mothers, tender maidens and stronj; men in tlieir prime.
Tliere are lovers who have piiglited their vows in Coventry,
And merry children dancin(i; o'er the vessels' decks, in t;lee.
They come as cnnie the Hebrews into their promised land.
Not as to wild New-ICiiprland's shore came first the Pilgrim band ;
The Minas llelds were fruitful, and the Oaspereau had borne
To sea-ward many a vessel with its freight of yellow corn.
They come with hearts i.a true as are their manners blunt and cold.
To found a race of nolilcmcii of stern New-Kn(;land moidd,
A race of earnest pi^ople whom tlic comiiiK years shall teach
The broader ways of kiiowledKc and tlie gentler forms of speech.
They come as Puritans, but who shall say their hearts are blind
To the subtle charms of nature and the love of humankind.
The nine Laws of Connecticut have shaped their thought, 'tis true,
Hut human laws can never wliolly Heaven's work undo.
And tears fall fost from many an eye long time unused to weep.
For I, cv the llelds lay whitening the bones of cows and sheep.
The faithful cows that used to feed njion the broad (iraiid Pro
And with their tinkling bells come slowly home ut close of day.

INTRODUCTORY SKETCH.
Written by Rev. William Hadley Eaton, D. D.. of Keene, New Hampshire.
FIRST OKNERATION.
John KatoS, vith his wife AxxE and six cliiMron, two sons and
four duuyhteis, is known to have hvvw in Cokhester, now Suli.sl)ury,
Mass., ns early as "ye 2nth of ye Gth nio. 1640," wlu-n tliero were
granted to him " 2 fttres, more or h'ss, for liis house lott, lyinj; between
the house h>ttR of Mr. Samu«l Hull and Rulfe Rlesduh'," said to he
ahout eciually distant from thr Atlantic and the Merrimack. Ho
remained here ahout six years from the nhove date, when he removed
to Hav(^rhill, about fifteen miles uji the river where he rec«'ived a deed
of land dated Nov. 25, 1046, from Rev. Nathaniel Ward of Iiiswich,
for which he gave " the full sum of twelve pounds of wheati; and pipe
staves, six pounds worth of one and six pounds woitli of the other."
He resided here the remainder of his life. Anne, his wife, dic^d Feb.
5, 1G60. He married for his 2nd wife Mrs. PhelK! Dow, Nov. 20,
1661. He died, te.state, Oct. 29, IOCS.
John Eaton was a cooper and farmer, and dealt considerably in reul
estate. He was a man of strong will power, tempered by a .sound
practical judgment, who believed in liberty of conscience and tolera-
tion in society. Endowed with these (lualities of mind lie was well
fitted to act a highly useful part in this new country.
Of his two sons, John and Thomas, John settled in Salisbury and
became the head of a numerous race which for convenience sake we
call the Salisbury Branch.
Thomas settled in Haverhill and became the head of a long line of
descendants which we call the Havkriiill Branch.
John and Anne Eaton, it is supposed, were married somewhere in
England about 1618, as their first child seems to have been born in
1619. It is thought that their six children were all born in England,

THE NOVA SCOTIA BATONS.
In the fiftli generation from John and Anne, was T)orn of James,.
Bon of Jonathan and liis wife [{afivci (Ayer), David Euton, tlie eldest
of nine children (David, 1'imothy, Sarah, Rachel, James, Susannah,.
Nathaniel, Ebeneztsr, Enoch.)
David Eaton was born in navcrhill, Mass., the family home, 1st
April, 1729. He married first, in his 23rd year, Deborah White, oi
Coventry, Conn., 10th October, 17i>I, having renioved from Haverhill
to Tolland, Conn., a short time before, i)robably in the same autumn.
Connecticut had attractc-d an increasingly large number of settlers
from Massachusetts during several generations, and the town of Tolland
near the boundary line of Massachusetts, now nearly forty years old,
was the centre of a steadily growing population. Whether David
Eaton had friends tliere or what may have directly moved hin> to migrate
to Tolland we cannot know; one of the earliest settlers, and the founder
of a numerous and intluential family in that i)art of the state woi*
William Eaton, but since he was of another line — that of William and
Martha, of Heading, it is unlikely that the young David was ac(iuaiuted
with the family. Deborah White, whom he man-ied so soon after his
arrival in Tolland, was a native of Coventry, the adjoining town. She-
was the daughter, and one of 13 children, of Thomas White, a great
grandson of Elder John White, one of tlte first settlers of Cambridge,
Mass. and afterwards of Hartford, Conn, ami Hadley, Mass., who left
England for Boston in the ship Lyon, Capt. Peirce, the 22nd of June,
1632 and arrived Sept. IG, of the same year. He was closely con-
nected in Cambridge and in Hartford with Rev. Thos. Hooker, who
came from Chelmsford, Essex, Eng,, and it is probable that he had
lived also in that vicinity.
Elder White's first house in the new world was at Cambridge, tlient
called Newtown, where he had at first three-quarters of an acre of
ground allotted him in what was known as " Cow Yard Row." After-
ward he obtained three-cjuarters of an acre more for a cow yard, and
on or near this spot now stands the handsanie library building of
Harvard College, Gore Hall. He was admitted a freeman the 4th of
March, 1633, and made one of the first selectmen in Feby., 1635 (the
11
ethers were John Haynes, Simon Brnclstreet, John Talcott, William
Westwood, \\'illiani Wordsworth luul piohably James Olnistoad, all
prominent men). Finally he sold his property to Nicholas Danfbrth
an<l Nathaniel Spairo\vhawk(!, luul in 1036 removed to Hartford, Conn.,
with R(^v. Thos. Hooker and atiout a hundred other persons. There he
became as he ha<I been iii Cambri<l<,'e very prominent in the affairs of
the settlement, but after Mr. Hooker's death he removed to Hadley,
Mas-s. for a time, ri'turniiiy to Hartford and becoming an elder in the
South Church in 1670. His wife Mnry died in the Winter of 1683.
His eldest sou, Cajjtaiu Nathaniel White, was like his father, a public
man, being electel to tlie lej^islatun; from Middletown for very many
oonsf'cutive years.
A son of Captain Nathaniel was Ja<x)b, the father of Thomas, and
grandfnthifr of Deborah, wife of David Eaton.
Thomas White was born in Middletowu, Upper Houses, 14th Aug.i
1701. He setth'd as a farmer iii Kast -Middletown, (Chatham), but in
ll'til removed to the north part of Lebanon, Conn., witlun the present
town of Andover. His farm lay on I cjth sides of the Hop River and
was partly in Coveiitiy. AlK)ut 1748 he removed to Coventry east of
the Skungamug Ri.er, and died probably after 1773. His first wife,
the mother of Deborah, was Sarah Miller, probably daughter of
William Miller, of Glastonbury, who died 10th August, 173G, aged o6
years, and wa.s buried in Chatham. By her he had six children, Sarah,
born 13th Sept., 1720, m a Rentoji ; Tliomn.s, born 7th Feby., 1728,
died unmarried : Samuel, born 30th Nov. 1729, m. Rachel Tilden •
l)eboriih, born 19th May, 1732, m. 10th October, 1751, David Eaton,
of Tolland ; William, born 21st Feby., 1734 ; Jacob, born 20th Jany.,
173G, m. Anna Lothrop. By his second wife Hannah Woodward,
whom he married 3rd Feby., 1 737, he had seven children, Hannali,
Henry, Lemuel, Elizabeth, Silas, Abigail and Joel.
The Wliites an; and liave always bci-n one of the most prominent
families iu Conn<'cticut. In the same line with our ancestress, in the
present gaueratjon is the distiiigui.shed scholar and author, Richard
Grant White, recejitly deceased.
In the otlice of the Registry of Deeds, Salem, Mass., are the follow-
ing records :
" Janies Entmi of Hflvcrhill, yeoman, to Dnvid Eaton of Haverhill, cordwainer,
his son, fir ti(i.£-(!-8 (whicli sum afori'said 1 give hd. David as part of his portion),
S acres in Havvrliill." Dated 2 Feb 1751.
" David Eaton of Tolland, Conn., cordwainer. to Joseph Eaton of Haverhill,
liU.sbaudiUun, lor titJ.£-13-4, .9 acres in Haverhill." Dated 20 May, 1752.

12
The Joseph Eaton mentioned in this latter e^xtract is Deacon Joseph
Eaton of Haverhill, who marritnl Sarah W«'l)ster and had ten children,
one of whom named Peter, graduated at Harvaril College in 1787,.
received the degree of D.D. in 1820. and was [)astor for more than fifty
years of the church in Boxford, Mass. Joseph himself was for many
years deacon of the Congregatioufil Church of th& West Parish, Haver-
hill, and a second cousin of David.
The same spirit of enterprise which impeliefl our ancestor to leavo'
that part of the country w here his early honif^ had been, in time led
him to migrate still further, and in the spring or early summer (proba-
bly) of 1761, between the births of their sixth and seventh children,
David and Deborah with fivt; children, Susannah, Stephen, Elisha,.
Timothy and Elijah, removed to Nova Scoti.i. Of these five children,.
Susannah, the eldest, born 25 Sept., 17.") 2, died 18 Oct., 17G1 ; Elijah,
born 29 May, 17G0, died 1") Aug., 17(51. They had lost a son, Timothy,,
born 17 July, 175."), before the birth of the .second Timothy.
There are few more touching incidents in histoiy than the expulsion
of the French from Acadia, and the l)urning of tlu^ir pnxsperous village-
of Grand Pro on tlmt ever memorable 5th of September, 1875. Hut
the forcible removal of the disloyal Norniandy peasants left unoccupied
large tracts of fertile land about and liear the shores of the Basin of
Minas, some of it in a high state of cultivation. "At the river
Canard," as Beamish Murdoch tells us, •' was a fine country, full of
inhabitants, a beautiful church, abundance of woi-ldly goods, and
plenty of all kinds of provisions," but after that last sail gathering in
the French church at Grand Pro, this "tine country" remained un-
inhabitetl, until "on the 12th of October, 1758, a proclamation was
adopted in council relative to settling the vacated lands in the Pro-
vince, in conformity with the diitetions the governor had receivedl
from the Board of Traile." In accordance with the foregoing procla-
mation, a description of the lund was oixleied to be publisiied. wl ich
reads : "these lands consist of upwards of oiv; hundred thousand acrf*
of intervale plow land, producing whciat, rye, barley, oats, liemp, flax,
etc. These have been cultivuti; 1 for more tluin a hundred years past,.
and never fail of croi)S, nor need manuring. Also, more than one
hundred thousand acres of ujdand, cleared and stocked with Knglish
grass, planted with oichaids, gardens, etc. These lands, with good
husbandry, produce often two loads of hay per acre. The wild and
unimproved lands adjoining to the above are well timbered and wooded
with beech, black birch, ash, oak, pine, fir, etc. All these lands are sa
iutonuixed that every single farmer may have a proportionate quantity
13
of plow land, grass land and wood land ; and are all situated about
the Bay of Fundi, upon rivers navigable for sliips of burthen." —
(From the report of the Secretary of the Council.) In April (1759)
agents from a number of persons in Connecticut and Rhode Island,
who designed to become settlers on the vacant lands in the Bay of
Fundi, came to Halifax. ... In May the agents, having viewed
the vacated lands and returned to Halifax, the four gentlemen from
Connecticut, who represented 330 signers, proposed to settle a town-
ship at Mines, "joining on the river Gaspereaux and including the
great maishes, so called, which township to consist of 100,000 acres
to 200 families," the grants to be in fee simple, subject to the proposed
quit rent. The block houses were to be built and garrisoned for their
defence. Fifty families of the number were to have from government
an allowance of corn of one bu.ihel to each person per month, or an
equivalent in other grain, for one year, and arms and ammunition for
defence. The people with their moveables, stock, etc , to be transported
at the expense of the government, l^he township of Camird, 100,000
acres, to be settled by 150 families, on the same terms, with protection oj
one block house, etc. All these propositions were agreed to by the
governor and council, on Thursday, 17 May, 1759, and the forms of
grants were ordered to be prepared accordingly. May 21st, the grants
of the townships of Horton and Coruwallis being completed and ap-
proved of by the agents from Connecticut, were ordered to pass the
seal of the Province."
The agents from Connecticut were. Major Dennison, Messrs. Jona-
than Han is, Joseph Otis, and James Fuller, and also Mr. John Hicks
from Rhode Island.
Among the hundreds of enterrrising and industrious families
attracted from Rhode Island and Connecticut to this new land of
promise was that of our ancestor. He was now in his 33rd and his
wife in her 30th year, they had been married le.ss than ten years and
their eldest child, Susannah, was not yet nine years old. He received
his grant from the government on the olst December, 1764, the fourth
year of the reign of King George III. It is signed by Richard Bulke-
ley. Secretary of the Council.
This docunuMit reads as follows :

date of his giant alienate or grant the right or any part of it except
by will, without license from the CJovernor, Lieutenant-Governor or
Commander-in-Chief, under tJie 8eal of the Province. The grantee
also bound himself to plant, cultivate, impro\e or inclose one-tliird
part of the land granted him, within ten years, one-third within twenty
years, and the remaining tliird within thirty years from the date of
his grant, a failure to fulfil this obligation, obliging him to forfeit such
lands as should not be under improvement or cultivation The terms
of the grant further compelled the grantee to plant within ten years
two acr(!S with hemp, and to keep up the same or a like quantity of
acres during successive years, and to settle at least one family with
proper stock and materials for the improvement of the lands on or
before the last day of October, 17G5.
In the office of the Regi.stry of Deeds for Cornwallis now (1885)
and for many years kept by the Hon. Samuel Chipman, an old and
15
greatly respected inhabitant of Cornwallis, whose memory goes back to
the time of David Eaton and his family, with all of whom he was on
terms of personal friendship, are recorded various purchases of land
made by our ancestor. These lots of land are numbered and described
and bear dates respectively, as follows :
24 April, 1761.
11 nnd 14 June, 1763.
24 Ffby, 1764.
l.S March, 1766.

The first deed of land given by David Eaton after his removal to
Nova Scotia, bears date 7 September, 1765. It is the thirty-fourth
deed recorded in the township, and reads as follows :
" This indenture made at Cornwallis, in the County of Kin<;'s County, in the
rrovince of Nova Scotia, Acadia, l)etween D>>vid P^aton of Cornwallis aforesaid,
yi'cnian, of tlie one part, and John Hurbridge of the sanii, place, Escjuire, and
AVilliiini Best of Halifax, in the County of Halifax anil Province aforesaid, master
niason, of the other part, witnesseth that the said David Eaton for and iu consider-
tioii of the sum of twenty jjounds current money of tlie said province, to him in
hand ])aid by the snid John Ihnbridge and William Best, the receipt whereof lie
i) hereby acknowledge, he, the said David Eaton (having obtained leave under
■ seal of the province, bearing date the seventh day of May in the year of our
ijord one thousand seven hundred and sixty-five), hath granted, bargained and sold,
aliened and coniirnied and by these presents doth grant, bargain and sell, alioa and
confirm unto the said John Burbridge and William Best, their heir* and assigns,
forever, all that piece of ground or lot of dike land containing six acres (little more
or less), lyiijg anil being iu the dike commonly known as the Bowing dike, in the
said township of Cornwallis, and recorded on the Proprietors' Hecord for the said
township by dike lot letter I, number 42, as the same was laid out to the said
David Eaton.
• *** • • * • •••••
Witness where"f he the said David Eaton hath hereunto set his hand and seal at
Cornwallis aforesaid, this seventh day of Sei)tember, in the fifth year of the reign
ol our sovereign lord George the Third, by grace of God of Great Britain, France
and Ireland, king, defender of the faith, and so forth, iu the year of our Lord one
thousand seven hundred and sixty-five."
That David Eatun was from the beginning a man of thrift and
enterprise is very clear. His father, James, had evidently acfiuin^d
considerable property, otherwise his children's portion could not have
been so large, and his eldest son David must have begun life under less
favorable conditions.
Jitar.ding very near where the first house belonging to our ancestor
stood, on Canard stieet, is now a pretty cottage owned and
occupied by Edwin Dickey, Esq., from which one has a fine view of
the broad, fertile diked lands, once owned by the Acadian French, and
afterward, in part, by David Eaton. Almost as far as the eye can
reach, the rich upland and meadow, dotted with comfortable farm
i
16
houses of tho host sort, with lawns and flower gardens about tliem, or
waving with tall grass for the mower, and tho sheltered hillsides where
richly laden fruit orchards perfume the June and the October air, were
the property of our ancestor. From him these rich possessions were
transferred little by little to his sons. His own innnediate farm, with
the house upon it (the first house had been burned and he Imd liuilt
again), passed into the hands of his sou David, who soon built another
house near the old one. Adjoining the homestead, to the eastward,
where now Leander Eaton's fine house stands, was until a few years
ago the house owned by his eldest son Stephen. This property was
the first separated from tho original lands of our ancestor, and the
house which we all remember well, was next oldest to the original
house built and occupied by him. David's house was bought after his
death by David Dickey, Esq., and torn down about 36 years ago.
The proi)erty transferred to Stephen and now owned by Leander,*
son of Ward, has been in the family almost but not i|uito continuously
from the begiiniing.
A1)out two miles and a half farther east is the homestead of Elisha,
Davi(i's third son. It is now owned and occupied by Leven.'tt Eugene
in the l)th generation, son of Levi, son of James, son of Elisha, '"' and
has been in the family continuou.sly.
Adjoining the farm of Stephen was that of Timothy, afterward for
many years the property of Dr. Charles Cotnam Hamilton.
James' farm lay ne.xt to Elisha's and has been until lately owned by
the family of the late David Rupert Eaton, son of David, son of
Elisha 8
John at first went to sea, then settled on a farm in what is known
as the " Smith Woods," near Canning, but moved afterward to the
place in Upper Canard, where his son Ward lived and died, and which
is now owned by James Stanley Eaton, Ward's youngest son.
Sarah married Abel Strong and lived at Brooklyn St. or Shadow St.
Cornwallis. Susannah married Capt. Harry Cox and lived below
Canning. Prudemie married John Wells and lived in Canning.
Deborah married John Manning and lived in Falmouth, Hants Co.
Both the husbands of Deborah and Prudence were for many years
members of the Provincial legislature.
Deborah (White) Eaton Senr., died 20 May, 1790.
David died 17 July, 1803.
There is an old cemetery — one of the two oldest in Cornwallis, near
what is known as Hamilton's corner, or " Jaw-bone " corner, as its
original name was, where David and Deborah Eaton are buried, and
I
17
likewise their children, Susannah, who died in 1761 ; Stephen, who
died in 1838, and his wife Elizabeth ; Elijah, who died in 17G1 ; James,
■who died in the Sja-ing of 1813, and his first wife Nancy, and Amos,,
who died in 1784. The first wife of Timothy, (Huldah) and the first
wife of John (Tabitha) are likewise buried here. For many years thiii
cemetery was unfenced, and if there ever were tonibstones erected at
the earliest graves, they have long ago tuml>h»<l down and been nMnovcsd.
One large monument should, therefore, at no distant date, b(> erected
to these honored members of the fifth and sixth generations of the*
Eatons of Nova Scotia, by their loyal descendants ; and this old
cemeteiy where they sleep, now carefully fenced and guaided, is tho
proper place for it.
Of the remaining members of the imme Mate family of David and
Deborah, Elisha, who died in 1827, and his wife, Innie ; Timothy, who
died in 18o4, and his second wife, Sarah ; Sarah, who died in 1827,
and her husliand, A\n-\ Strong; and Prudence, who died in 1842, and
her husband, John Wells, aix^ buried in the cen>etery at Upper Canard,
in front of the Baptist Church.
Elijali, who died in 1816, and his wife, ElizaWth, lie in an old burial
place in Medfurd or Lower Pereau ; David, who died in 18JJ0, and his
wife, Eunice, sleep in the Upper Cmard <Jeinetery ; Susannali, who
died in 1841, and her husl)and, Harry Cox, lie in the burying ground
of the Congregational Church below Canning ; Deboraii, who died in
1829, and her husband, John Manning, are burietl in Falmouth, Hants
Co. ; and John and his second wife, Abigail, in the bui'ying ground of
the Congregational Church below Canning. There are ton)bstones at
the graves of Elisha and Irene, John and Tabitha, Sarah and Abel
Strong, Susannah and Harry Cox, Deborah and John Manning,
Prudence and Jolui Wells ; and it is earnestly hoped that tablets or
other fitting memorials may soon be placed in the churchos or cemeteries,
to tlie memory of the other mon^bere of tho family whose graves now
unmarked must otherwise, in time, be forgotten.
The earliest settlers in Cornwallis were principally Congregationalists,
although there were a few church people among them, and the first
church to be established was the Congregational " Church at Horton
and Cornwallis." It is said that the earliest church building erected
was that which stood at Chipn)an's Corner, neaily on the site of the old
French Church. But it is certain that the meeting house at Hamil-
ton's Corner was erected very soon after the re-settlement of Acadia.
The first minister of this church was Kev. Benaiah Phel])s, who
remained iu charge of the church until the time of the Revolutionary
18
war, wlipu lye rotnrncd to New England. The parish to which he
iniiiistorcd corM[)ris(!d tlie the townshii»8 of irorton and Coriiwalli.s, and
ho alternated betwcon the two, traveling from the North to the South
mountains in his ministrations. The jjreserved records of the church
whose meeting itlace iu Cornwiillis was at Hamilton's Corner, do not
<!xtend back of the year 1819, when the 1{<!V. John Pineo was jjastor,
£0 that we have no means of knowing how many of the fanuly of David
and Deborah Eaton were communicants of the church. Iu May of
that year, howevcir, both Deborah and Elijah were admitted to memlx^r-
shij), an<l on th(^ 14th May, 1820, John was bajitized by EUk'r Pineo.
On the 19th of Oetobor, 1778, a Daptist Church was formed in Corn-
wallis, with ten members, but there were no Eatons among them, nor
have the Eatf)U8 ever been very uumerous on its membership roll.
This church was, at fiist, an open communion church, but it adopted
in a short tinu; close communiou jjrinciples, and has always been a
pros[)erous and wealthy church. To it miuh of the Eaton inlluence
has been given, although there are among the descendants cf David and
Deborah, representatives of almost all the leading denomiuations,
Episcopalians, Unitaiians, Congn-gationalist-s, Methodists, and Baptists
of various sorts. ]Many of them have been viivy prominent in religious
and educational matters, and have occupied jjositious of trust and
responsibility.
Of David I'laton himself, or of his wife, there is no jjortrait nor like-
ness of any kiud iu existeui-e, nor ind(!ed so far as is known of either
of his sons or daughers. Nova Scotia was, a atntury ago, a remote
region, and while many persons had abundaut means, and many in-
herited refined instincts and traditions, life was primitive, and lacked
the accessories of art and the culture of jjolite society. It was to tlicni
a new country as New England had beeu to their auc(»stors a hundred
years before, and there was little time for anything except the culti-
vation of the soil, and the bare details of living
David Eaton is said to have been a man of genial character, good
form and features, ("some calle^l him a handsome man,'") and of
unusual physical strength. Of his wife, Deborah, there are few tradi-
tions preserved, but those in existence lead to the belief that she was
of a kindly, motherly nature, hospitable and cheerful and j)ossessed of
much native refinement.
Of the few heir-looms iu the fauiily not the least interesting is the
ring which Deborah Wliite wore when she was married, and which
(descended to her daughter Susannah (Mrs. Harry Cox) and is now
worn by her grand daughter Paulina (Starr), Mrs. Leander Eaton,*

There IS no one Hvlnp wlio romrmbprs David Eaton, personally,
except the Hon. Samuel (.'liipnian, (now, 18^5, in his O'lth year.)
Until recently, most persons Imve supposed that David Eaton mar-
ried only once, hut a search nniong the earliest records of the Episcopal
parish of St. Jolin's, in Coinwallis, has revealed tlie fact tlmt on the
2t3rd Decemlier, 1790, seven months after the death of liis first wife
l>el)orah, he was married hy the Uev. John Wiswell. Rector, to Alice
Willoughby, piol)aldy widow of Dr. Samuel Willoughliy, If so, hor
maiden name was English and she was married to Dr. Willoiighhy
28th August, 1760. How long she lived or when she died is not
known, hut it is certain that Mr. Eat(rti was a widower during the ltt.st
years of his life. By whom he was cared for is not known, for his
three youngest daughters married within four years of their mother'^s
death, Susannah, who is thought to have been his favorite, last of all.
At the time of the burning of his hmise, probably not long after his
wife's death, he had, so it has been currently reported, a heavy box of
coin on which, when ic Avns removed from the burning house, he bade
his daughter Susannah sit, in order to secure it as the bottom was in
danger of coming out. Another tradition has it that he had laid up in
bottles for his children about rive hundred pounds in gold. But when
he came to die none of this money was found, nor did it ever come
into the hands of his descendants. Whatever foundation there may
be for this story, it is certain that David Eaton died possessed of an
enormous e.state, which he bequeathed to his children, his will, which
is very long and carefully made, bearing date only nine days before his
death. He was a man of importance in the affairs of the community
and in every sense a pioneer in the early settlement and subseijuent
refinement of the sunny Province of Acadia,

forty jjoumls inoro,
Aliout 1790 Daniel Ilaton, a yoiin^ iiliysiciim, son of Tiinotliy,"
lirotlicr of Duvid, niid of Al»ii,'ail (MiisM-y), Imru in Ifiivcrliill iStli,
April, 1701) ; cumt' to Nova Scotia to visit liis niu'In, and instead of ro-
turtung to MassiK.'Iiusiitts removed to Onslow, Coleliester County, Nova
Scotia, married Mrs. Estlier Cator, vidow of William Cater, youtliful,
attiaetive and with conifortahli! means, and founded a small family,
how priiu'iltally in Colehcster County, of whiih Cyrus Katon, now for
the second time Mayor of Truro, a successful merrhant, is a leading
tepresentativo. After Dr. Eaton's death, his wid<fw mairied again
Cai)tain Simon Kollock, a retired ofllcer in the ISritish army.
A full record of the fiiliiily of Dr. Daniel Katon will he yiven in its
proper place in the complete genealogy.
Some years after this, jtrohalily Ik t ween 1794 and 1797, David's
youngest .son, John, visitc 1 Haverhill, and after his return named liia
eldest son, born 28 Nov., 1797, Ward, after a cousin Ward — hiother
to Daniel, M. D., and son of Timothy.'' Ward, of Haverhill, was
born 2r)th ^lay, 177;'», lived in Ilaverliill, and is reported to have
shown his cousin John naich attention on this, probably the first and
only visit, ever made by any of the Nova Scotia Eatons, in the si-xth
generation, to the home of their New England ancestors.
A few only of the Nova Scotia Eatons have gained great distinction.
They have generally been people of intelligence and worth, often of
retinenicnt, and excellent social position, but the larger part of them
have been farmers, and few liave ever become rich. Some, however,
as will appear in the following record, have been successful business
men, some are making their mark in the several learned professions,
and some have been respectable tradesmen. Few families in Nova
Scotia can lay claim to gieater respectability and usefulness, and few
are so widely scattered.
KlfTH GENERATION.
D.W 1 1) KATON, thn AncoHtor of tho Nova Scotia Katoiis, was lK)rn
in llav<'rliill, Mosh., Ist A|ii'il, 1729. His fiithor wan James, and hia

and FjKN'h. He was in tlie titth generation from John und Anne of
Haverhill, the originators of this liranch of the Eaton family in
America: the direct descent heing David,'' .fames,* .lonathan,' Thom-
as,' John.' He removed to Tolland, Oonneoti<!Ut, prohaldy in the
Summer or Autumn of 17f)l, and the 10th October of that year married
I leUtrah White of Coventry, an adjoining town, a daughter of ThomaH
White in«l Sarah (Miller), and a great groat grand-daughter of Elder
John White, of ('and»ridge. Muss., and of Hartford, Connecticut. In
the Spring or early Summer (iirol»al)ly) of 1761, between the births of
liis Kixth and seventh children, he removed with many other Connecti-
cut people to Nova Scotia, that colony having'^been depopulated hf the
expulsion of the French in H/ir).
After accumulating a large and valuable property, wliich he divided
among his children on tlieir several marriages, he died in Cornwallis, on
what is now known as Canard Street, 17th July, 180.*}. His wife,
Deljorah, who was bom 19th May, 1732, died 20th May, 1790. Both
are buried in the old burying ground near Hamilton's comer, a few
nxis from their home, while they lived, but as yet no stone or monu-
ment marks their resting place.
He married (2nd) 23rd December, 1790, (Rev. John Wiswell, Rector,
officiating) Alice (English) Willoughby, widow of Dr. Samuel Wil-
loughby.

Rev. Wm. Twining, Rector of St. John's Church, to Marchant Eand,
whose son Thomas afterward married Eliza Irene Barnaby, daughter
of Worden Barnaby, and Lydia (Eaton) daughter of ElishaS.
2^
Rebecca was nianled lltli Noveniber, 1802, by Rev, Williarh
Twining, Rector of St. John's Church, to Alphaeus Harris, whose son
Thomas married for his second wife Mary Eliza Eaton, daughter of

Nancy married, l5th June, 1815, Richard Smith ; then William
Rand, by whom she had a son and a daughter. Then a Mr. Wood. She
was marri<!d first by Rev. Robert Norris, Rectot.
ELI8HA, Ixjrti Sth January, 1757, murried 31st May, 1779, Irene
Bliss, daughter of Nathaniel and Etinice (Fish) Bliss. He was a far-
Yner, and lived ami died m the okl house, which, with the farm, has
lieen owned and occupied by his descendants ever since. It is where
•James, ^ sofi of Elisha, reare'J his large family, and it has passed, since
•his death, 5th Febrnary, 18S4, to his grandson Leverett Eugene," son
•of Levi 8 He died 9th March, 1827. She died 2nd June, 1826.
Brenton Haliburton, son of James, Barrister-at-Law, writes, in 1884 ;
" The old Imuse, as nearly as I can learn, was liuilt upwards of 1 02 years
■ago. It appears that my father's father Elislia, moved into it after he
was married, and probably after his eldest son Dan, was bom. (He was
^)orn "-'nd March, 1780). Tlie old structure is of wootl — gambnsl roof
— onr story and a half high, 1 chimney, sn\all porch in front and one
at thf cast end, a low, miserable head-knocking and dark cellar.
In front of the house is the River Cananl, celebrated in old times for
the wild (Iwcks which frequented it, and gi'andfather Elisha is said to
3iave shot partridges from his bed room window. Those were days for
sportsmen. In the rear, to the northward of the old house, is the River
Habitant, in which I myself have seen 40,000 shad caught in one tide
in tlie seine set across the channel. It is said there was in those times
a magniticunt hartl woo<l forest on the South side of the main road.
■A century ago, when the old house was built, the country bon; many
traces of the long occupancy of the P^rench, and forests still al)Ound(xl
when; the Mic^Mac Indians had their small encampments. In those
•days the tide as it flowed from Minas Basin to the " Grand Dyke " was
specked with wild fowl that had little need to fear the sportsman's gun>
The old house itself — the oldest Eaton dwelling in Cornwallis t'xcept
possibly the house wdiere Uncle Ward lived and died, has seen more
than a hundred years. Two generations have been born in and have
gone forth from it. Grandfather Elisha and grandmother Irene had
ten children, and my father, their youngest child, had ten. Now it
2(5-
has passed into thd occupancy of my brother Levi's son, £everetf
Eugene, and \till, no doubt, behold another generation go forth to
peojile the earth.
" The homestead, as bought by my father, included the land lying
between Charles F. Eaton's place on tlie West and the old Fitch place'
on the East — in other words it included George Dickey's, Henry A.
Eaton's, and the place my father latterly hold."
Irene Bliss was born in Connecticut, 4th January, 1761. (See Bliss ^
family genealogy.) Her father, Nathaniel, was born at Lebanon, Conn.,
5th August, 1736, removed to Nova Scotia "about 1760" with his
family, and his brother Elijah, and both he and Elijah died •' about
1778 of small pox." His wife was Eunice Fish. They were originally
Congregationalists, but united in the formation of the iirst Baptist
church in Coinwallis in the Autumn of 1778.
His children were Eunice, who married a Mr. Beech, Iiene, Lydia,
who married a Mr. Weaver, Nathaniel born April, 1/B3 j died 1854.
Mary married Patrick Mclnernay lOth September, 1795, (Rev. Robert
Norris officiating) and James, who never married. Nathaniel, Senr.,.
was descended in the 5th generation from Tlwmas Bliss, who came from.
Belstone parish, Devonshire, England, in company with his brother
George, and was followed afterward by his nephew Thomas. The Bliss'
family were highly educated, and refined people. They were free-
holders, and Puritans, and belonged to the same class in England as
Cromwell, Hampton and others, "of whom England has reason to be'
proud forever." A sister, Elizabeth, of these brothers, was the wife of
Sir John Calcliffe, of Belstone. The wife of Thomas Bliss was
Margaret, to whom he was married in England, and from them are
descended not only Nathaniel Bliss and his daughter Irene, but in the
fifth generation the Honorable Jonathan Bliss of New Brunswick,
whose public career was long and honorable, for he was successively
Attorney General, Chief Justice, and President of Her Majesty's
Council for that Province. His father was Captain Luke, and hii^
mother Mercy (Ely) Bliss of Springfield, Mass. And in the 6th genera-
tion, his son, the Honorable William Blowers Bliss, Judge of the Supreme
Court of Nova Scotia, who married a daughter of Chief Justice S. S.
Blowers, and was the father of Mary, (Bliss) wife of the Episcopal
Bishop of Nova Scotia ; and of the wife of Bishop Kelly of Newfound-
land. Of this family there are two sons clergymen of the Church of
England. In the 5th generation was also the Honourable Daniel Bliss
of Fredericton, New Brunswick, a loyalist. Chief Judge of the Court
of Common Pleas, his sou, Judge John Murray Bliss, and his daughter
.
27
Hannali, mother of the late Sir Lemuel Allan Wilmot, Governor of
New Brunswick.
" It is a remarkable fact," says the author of the Bliss family
genealogy, " and without a parallel in history, that three members of
■one family (Chief Justice Bliss, Judge Jdhn Murray Bliss, and Judge
Upham, brother-in-law to Hon. Dariiel Bliss) sat on the judicial bench
at the same time." Judge John Murray Bliss married his cousin, a
>flaughter of Judge Upham.
Elisha and Irene (Bliss) Eaton are buried in the cemetery at Upper
Canard, and their graves are marked by two substantial brown stones,
'Whose carefully cut inscriptions, which record simply their names and

WARD, born 28th November, 1797, mairied 13 May, 1810, Etinico

Tiiey were mairied by the Reverend Edward Manning He died Ist
February, 1870. Eunice Deborah died l.'itli May, 1874.
When Ward Eaton was 8 or D years old his father i)Urchased the
fine place in Upper Canard, Cornwallis, which at his death passed to
this son and where in the low roofed cottnge, with its narrow halls and
doorways, its roomy, hospitable parlors, and (jUaint bedrooms, he and
his lionored wife reared their family of si.\ children, and for many long
years welcomed their friends from city and country. One of their
52
Qraiulcliiklien writes, "there was a cliaim about that hotjse tliat tliore
never ciiu he about any otlier." " Th(; odor of rose I(!aves tliat cjiiiie
through tlie doors," was always a jierfimied j)io|ihecy of tlie deliglitfiil
hospitality one could never fail to meet there. Intellectual and cultured
people lov(!(.' to gather around tjieir tnhle, and more exquisitely pre-
jiai'ed and served dinners than (irandniania's, I liave never seen or
t;isti'd. It seems out yesteidny since the prairie roses bloomed pi"o-
fusely on the outer walls, juid the dear old garden was full of gay
Mowers, wliile within "Uncle Ward" and "Aunt Debby," as tliey
were known far and wide, dispensed their refined hospitality. Tin;
Itev. I)r. Crawley, the Kev. Dr. Cramp, tlie Rev. Dr. Piyor, the Il( v.
A. S. Hunt, James De^lille, the )iovelist, the Kev. Dr. Sawyer, Pr(>si-
dent of Acadia College, the late J. \V. Nutting, Estp, and many other
cultuicd and delightful men, were not unf'requent visitors, while all
the ohler grandchi'dren and not .seldom the city cousins revelled
in the cliarni of Grandnia's ]ire.sence and Ciandpa's good natiu'cd atten-
tion. It was a home to which guests were always welcouied freely, and
where each one's visit was as delightful as tlie most delicate thought-
fulness could make it." This chuiruing old cottage, now unoccupied,
was originally b\iilt for Irene Bliss to go into as a bride, but her earliest
matrimonial plans having tailed, the house subsecjuently passed into
the hands of John", whose .sou Ward, in 1819, many years after
brought Irene Bliss's daughter into it a bride.
The following widely copied poem by a grandson of Ward and
Pluiiicf^ Deborah Eaton, is commemorative of the old house and its
surroundings : —
AT GRANDMOTHER'S.
f
Un<lcr the simile of the pnului-s still,
Tjilucs uiul locusts in cluiniJs belwcun,
Itoscs over the window sill,
Is the doar old house with its doors of Kreen.
Never wore seen such spotless floors
Never such sliining rows of tin,
Wliile the rose-leaf odors that camo thro' tlie .loors.
Told of the poaceful life within.
Here is the room where the children slept,
Grandniainina's children, tired witli play,
An<l the faniou.s drawer where the cukes were kept,
Shrewsbury cookies and caraway.
The garden walks where children ran,
To smell tlio flowers and learn ihcir names.
The children thought, since tlio world bcj^uiii
AVere never such garden walks for games.
There were tulips and asters in regular lines,
Swent-Williamsand marigolds on their stalk^;
iJachelor's buttons and sweet pea vines.
And box that bordered the narrow walks.
53
pirc wltito-Ulios stood rornor-wise
Fioiii sunflowers yellow and poppies red
And tlio suiDiiier pinks looked up in surprise
At the kinfc'iy holljhoeka overhead.
. Morning glories and larkspur stood
Close to the noigliborly datt'odil ;
I al)l)nge roses and soiitlicrnwood
Koanied thro' the beds at their own sweet will
Many n year has passed since then,
prandmaniu'.s house is einpiy and still
Grandinania"s babies liavc grown to men
And tlie roses grew wild o'er the window sill.
Never again shall the children meet
I lulcr tlic poplars gray and tail,
. Never again sliall th(! eurelessfoct
Dance thro' the rose-leaf seented hall.
Orandniania's welcome is heard no more
And tlio children are scattered far anit wide,
And tlic world isa larger j.lace than of yore
MiM Jiallowed memories still abide.
And the children are better men to-doy
J'or the cakes and rose-lcave>i and garden walks,
And grandmother's welcome so far away
And the old sweet Williams on Iheir stalks.

Wai'd Eaton was a man of dignified presence, coui-teous manners
and a generous lieart. He was for many years a Justice of tlie Peace,
and for a Jong period, until Ids death, Town Clerk. He was an excel-
lent business man and was frequently called upon to settle arbitrations.
When acting as Justice he invariably .secured a settlen ent of disputes
before they came to trial, and he was thus often of great service to his
neighbors and the community. In politics he vas a strong conserva-
the, and while he rarely said much, he would expend any°amount of
time or money in the advancement of party end.s. fTe ^vas a warm
friend and advocate of siicli conservative leaders a.s the late Jud<'e
Johnstone who was for many years Attorney-General, and died soon
after his appointment to the Uovernorship of Nova Scotia. He acted
occasionally as executor of the estates of his relatives, and in their
satisfactory settlement he never .spared any pains. He died at a ripe
age, but before lii.s vigor of mind or body had p(?rceptibly declined.
Of Mrs. Ward Eaton, her nephew, the Reverend Willian-. Went-
worth Eaton writes, and to tliose who knew her his tril)ute will not
seem exaggerated: "I could write a volume about "Aunt Debby,"
your dear and honored Grandmother. Her heart was a deep fountain
of sympathy, always .sparkling, bubbling and running over in the
preseiice of either joy or sorrow. If she had faults I never knew
them." Not only her own relatives and friend.s, but the poor, were the
con.stant objects of her thoughtfuhiess ; and while far from bliiwl to the
81
faults or t\i6 criid'6ness df those about h^r, lew wof tls '6i cehsVlre ever
passed lier lips. Duiing the latter years o£ his life her unmarried
brother, John, was an inmate of her home, and no brother was ever
more temleriy caretl for than poor " Uncle John." There was one
wound in her heart that never liealetl, and that was caused by the sudden
death by drowning of her thii^d son Rufus, in Boston harbor on the 4th
November, 1851. She never got over that, and "poor RuHe's"
name was always utte^'ed with more than usual tendtrness j and hia
daughter Grace, was exceptionally dear to her.
She was a member of the large and flourishing Baptist Church to
which many of her kindred belong, the date of her baptism and recep-
tion being «• December, 1S39, the date also of the baptism of her
daughter Isabel and het son Rufus.

'(!od li-el imphuited i'l him. to have |ir'"'\ided the jii'eei.se nii.'lie for
whieh these endowments so richly furnished him. \\'hile hr lived such.
■A noble and ellirient life, rnid lias left so pare a memory, and has done
so mmh, it i"- no doubt true that luj sometimes felt the ))rrsence within
him of j»oweis as yet nr-exvrcised ; that he had a furnisliimr, by nature
and by cultiu'e, tor a wider arxl nioii'- inMuCntial sphere than he ever
oecnpied. He had ths' kindling' eye, the stirring tones, the magnetic
action, tile logical and imai;iuat''V(! processes Of a man intended to
addiess listening assemblies, and to vindicMite truth and righteousness in
debate, to ph.'ad the forlorn cause of the Gp[)irs.sed. I thiidc J shall be
sustained in this statement, especially by those who knew him in the
academy and in college, and )ierhai)s Ity those; who ha\e known him in
the Territorial Council, of which he has been a mendjer liom its
organization. Borne tiway u])on the current of ]»ublic events from

that became impossible for wliieli lie seometl so especially endowetl ; of
which his various gifts seemed to be so prophetic.
Were I to enumerate his characteristics, 1 should set down first, hit?
frnthjulnvss. When he gave a friend his iiavd^ he jait his he(trt in it.
Whm you looked ihto his glowitig eye, yon looketl into the deptlis ot
soul. Yon saw that the nnh \vliicli hv had in view were noble, and
that he sought thetn diiectly and in no situuAis way. An'l it' there was
anything which he despised, and against \vhich all the strength of liis
nature revolted, it Was deccitflilness in p\n'])ose or in niethod. This
truthfulness was in liis vt'ry carriage, liis style written oi' spoken ; it
\vas the vei'v coilier-stone of his character. He Io\cd the sunlight of
the truth, and walked in it, whoexer else might skulk in shadowy
))laces. And whatever he thought the truth) he defendcid with might
and main. If there ever was a man Hho had chivalrous devotion to
what he I'cgarded right) it was Oui' departed brother. No man ever
spoke more bui'uing words in advocacy of the cause of the |ioor and
needy than did \\K\
Another i-haracteristic of our friend wns his J'nli'lilii. He never
betrayed a trust ; he never deserted a friend. Though all other men
forsook you, yet would n(jt lie lie fastened himself to his friends
with hooks of steel If they were falsely charged, his voice was the
first lifted \\\) in their defenctv Ji(^ cast about to s(^e what he could do
by word, by cortespondence, through the press, in any and every way,
to stay the tide of detraction that tin'cateneil to overwhelm tlicni. .And
this tidelity iclated to all responsibilities, secular and ie!ini,ms. which
he was called Upon to assume. lie wa^ f'nif/if'i'/. in that which was
I'onnnitted to him. It was a sacred ti-ust which he sacredly fulfilled.
He wronged iio man ; he coriiipieil no man ; In- defrunded no man.
This he has often said was his ilaily prayei' to <lod around tin; family
altar bef. re he left home, tl'.at h- mii,dit be faithful. lie was faithful
to the sanctuai'v : he was faitlilel to the Sabbath sriiool : he was
faithful to the |)raycr meeting ; l>ut he was no less faithful to the
■-lightest sccul.i I- irust conniiitted to Ids keeping at the banking house,
or in the LegislaMve liody. He w mtcd to lie, he tiied to be. faithful
everywhere, to cMMybody.
I have betbre me a note from oi e of his Sa.bbatli school elass, leceised
this morning' ; oim paragraph of ■ reads as follows : ''If we l;new he
was in the city and not contined ti his bed we watched the door for his
entrance, and ■■<. gla<l smihi went ronnd the class when he ajipi ared.

Tndusti'iotif*, -ipl'lglit, strictly trmiierate, with imtivo noMonf-ss of cfiar-
actcr, lio had stiiiyglctl iiiRnfully througli liis |)rf'paratoi y, collcgiiitc,
antl {)rotes.sioiial studios — the piide and admiration of tliosc who l)pst
knew him. Ho had mai'iiod the woman of iiis young olioico. 'rhcn
death came and took away their Hrst-ljoru. It was th(! lowering o^
that litth' casket into tlie grave, tl»ftt seemed to cpeii the Kingdom of
Heaven to him. From tluit time, he was ready to avow himself a
Cliristiau, dependent upon Christ alone for salvation. When the First
Congregational Chiirch was organized here, with his wife he uiiitcd
with it, throwing all the generous impulses of liis nature into the cntei'-
prise. And iie loved it to the last. It was to him as the apple of his
eye. He was never tired of planning and consulting and contributing
for its success, />'// iha inKl'mcl. oj his bcJiiti he was drawn to any
institution that sought to embody and maintain the rights of man,
Man's equality with man bi^fove his Maker, he would defend at all
hazards. To defend this church ;. to ])]an it ; to make it a permanent
monument to this great prim/iple, awakened all his native chivalry.
He loved to represent it at the Conference of churches; he loved to
propagate its jirincii^les Southward. Two things were central in lii-;
minil, and again and again alhuled to in our meetings : Tliat tlic^
colored peojjle were the only hope of the h^outh ; that the stone which
the builders had rejected had become the head-.stone of the corner; and
that the Pilgrim polity of church government was the grand hope of
the colored people in the South ; the far-seeing wisdom of which cf)n-
veptions, perhaps, the futuie may more clearly indicate than the
present.
JNlaiy of you are personally familiar with the mor«^ prominent
events in our brother's history, and they have already appeared in the
jiublic prints; but I will briefly enumerate them. Jiorn in Ism;
fitting for college at Yarmouth, Maine, with such men as our brother
General Howard, for whom he cherished a lifelong devotion, and who
titly held his hand in death ; graduating at Uowdoin College in 1S5I,
ho read law in Portland ; tauu;ht in L-ouis\ ille, Kentucky ; was con-
nected with the press in Pittsburg ; came to Washington for a few-
weeks, as newspaper correspondent, in 18(31 ; remained through the war
as ])aymaster in the Army ; was appointed actuary of the Freed man's
Savings and Trust Company, and died cashier of the Second National
Bank, which position he accepted last June. Having a large and active
brain — as])iring in his nature, modcjstly sensible of his gifts — from his
youth he wrought industriously and faithfully and triumphantly to do
well his work in life. Everyone who knew him recognized in him —
' A CO. 'nation and a form,
' Wliei' od did seem to set his seal,
' To give the world assurance of a man.'
His very restless activity, the largeness of his heart and of his
urpose, beti'ayed him into over-work. From his college-days, followed
)y dysj^epsia, it at last triumphed over his will and energy and
despite the skillful ministrations of hia medical attendants and the
klo
71
kindest iind most pf-rsisteiit of iitti'ctionutc care, last Loitl's day after-
noon lie fell asleej) in Jesus.
He knew that liis hour had come. Until two days liefore his death,
he had hoped to recover ; had talked of a journey to his native State.
He had another journey before him. .Still he, doubtles.';, had long felt
the critical cliaracter of his condition, and had often thought th(! matter
over in his own Wsom. And when that morning, hetveen 10 and 11,
a Chiistian physician stooped ovei' him with the ijuestion how he
regaided his i)ros}iects of I'ecovery, he replied: " Uutil the last two
days 1 had expected to get up again ; but 1 nm now convinced I shall
not." He was afked again, "if (iod saw lit to take him away soon,
whether he felt jierfectly satisfied with His will V His answer came
quick and firm, '■^ I ilo/" He was then asked "If he felt that JesU.s-
was his Saviour and portion forever." He replied, with the sanu;
direct simplicity, " Yes." Comfoiting words from the J^ible and sacred
hymns weie spoken by Christian friends in his hearing, until he passed
away.
And thus to him closed his brief, well-filled, active earthly life, and he
st(;pped over the threshold of the Heavenly life and disajipeared. We
part with him to-day ; but we shall meet him again. He sleeps in

This well-known citizen of Washington departed this life yesterday at S.^o o'clock

was General 0. 0. Howard, a man whom he loved and honored with all the
intensity of his nature, and wlio had been his associate in the academy and in
college, and whose hand he held in death.

Dear Sir ; — I am instructed hy the hoard of Governors of Acadia t'oliei^'e to
forward to you for insertion in the C/irix/iaii J/cwoii/cr, the followin;^ record from
the iMinutes of a iiieetiiii,' held in Wolfville, Dec. I'.itli, 188:! .
"^•'Tlie Hoard of GovernorK of Acadia Collcifc would record their .sense of thr dee]i
los.s sustained by them in the deceiise of ]). llupert Eaton, Esij.
For the jiast l.'i years Hro. Eaton has been a member of this Board, f^ivin;,' them
the benelil of his mature experience.
He was a iiiaii of cautious temperament, great lirmiiessaiid uutirini,' industry, and
could probably take a forecast of the results of a given course of action, as wisely as
any member of this Board.
These cliilracteriHtics, combined with thorough conscientiousness made \ip a mind
peculiarly adapted to a large business. Our dejtarted brother devised great things,
and the extensive shipiiing and other enterprises of the linn of which he was the
head are the embodiment of his wide views and aims.
The Hoard would tender their sincere .symiiathies to the family of our deceased
friend and brother, and also to the tirm of which he was a member.

Dr. Samuel \Villou<,dil)y is n)entioiH>{V ii» Murdoeli's History of
Nova Scotia, as having appl^'d in 1701, for "another half right in ti>e
township of Cornwallis." II f; is called " a person of considerable sub-
stance." in 17GI, lie was elected to the Legislature, but in May,
17C"J, his seat was dfclared vacant, for non-attendance, and n writ was
issued for a new election. In 177U, ii<'' again represented Cornwallis iir
the House of Asseniblv, and again from 1771 to 1776, when he was
supersedeil by Mr. Jolm Chipman. Sometime between this date and
Decenilier, 179'0, he died, but when and where is not known, and the
place of his Imrial is i»ncertain. Nrithrr is tiier»? any record of Alice
English Willoughby Eaton's death or place of burial.
Dr. Samuel Willoughby lived of\ the well-known "(Jesner" place,
near Kentville, now owned by Ralph Samuel Eaton', Ltander"',
Ward', John".
The Willoughbya were church people and probably related to the
Rev. Mr. Willoughby, alroUt that time Rector of Wind.sor. The
parish church at (Jornwalli^, contains the record of the baptisms of a+1
the children of Augustus NV illou'ghby.
