Jon Eaves

M, b. circa 1610
  • Last Edited: 3 Aug 2013
  • (Child) Birth*: circa 1610
  • Biography*: Jon was born in England. He was in Virginia at least by November 1636, when he appears in a list of 14 persons whose passage was paid by Henry Southell. Southell received a grant of 50 acres for each of the 14, for a total of 700 acres. This land was "upon the Chesopeian shore, within the Territory of Lyn Haven." Lyn Haven Parish was in Lower Norfolk Co. VA (Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol. I, p. 51). Southell died soon thereafter, and his widow Elizabeth married Lt. Richard Popeley, who then received the 700 acre grant in 1637. The land was in the "Lower County of New Norfolk" (Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol. I, p.61). There is no evidence that Jon Eaves was an indentured servant. He may have sold his "headright" to Southell and used the proceeds for other purposes, perhaps to purchase land elsewhere.

    From Vivian & Bill Fortner:

    "Regarding the Eaves family ancestry, I can just help back to Edwin Eves and Arabella Sullivan. Their son, John, married Elizabeth Anne Graves in 1638. He had a sister named Elizabeth who married Henry Southworth or Southwell. John Eves was born 1615 in Preston Lancashire, Eng. and died Aug 1668 in Northumberland, VA. Elizabeth Graves was born 1620 in Hungars Creek, Accomack, Va and died 18 July 1683 in Accomack, VA."

    "The Graves family is where I pick up on Bill's family ancestry. You will be able to trace them back quite a long way to the name DeLaGreves - about 1130."

    "Both Nancy Eaves and John Fortner were born in Rutherford Co., NC. Nancy's line goes thus:
    Nancy Eaves b. 1795
    William Sherer Eaves b. 1753
    Graves Eaves II b. 1724
    Graves Eaves I b. 1677
    William Jonathan Eaves b. 1649
    Jonathan Eaves b. 1615
    Edward Eves b. 1565
    The family goes back to Jamestown and before to England, probably Ives name at one point.
    Bill'sKennedy family goes back to England and Scotland when the name was spelled DeCarrick.
    I don't know too much about Rebecca Davis' tree but I believe the familycame from Maryland to the Carolinas. Your info should help me, here. Thanks.
    Bill took both the Ydna test and the autosomal test from FTDNA close to 2 years ago.
    Nancy and John married in TN and moved to Mississippi and Alabama. They died in Mississippi. Their children either remained in MS or moved to Texas (around Paris, Texas).
    I am on Ancestry and if you area member you can look up the Fortner Family Tree if you would like to see what I have on the Eaves tree.
    Sincerely,
    Bill and Vivian Fortner"

    Haralson County, Georgia Family Sketches pg 189
     "Lewis T. Eaves or Lewis L, as he appears in some records, was a son of Burwell Eaves and
    Izza Malone. He was a younger brother of Balis L. Eaves and came to the Cherokee Nation
    about the same time that Balis came. He married Nance ? ( Nancy, < my note) probably in Habersham County, GA
    or possibly in Rutherford County, NC. It is not known exactly where he lived in what is now
    Haralson County, but probably in the Fellowship Baptist Church area.
     In 1850 Census of Paulding County, GA is the following listing of his family: Lewis Eaves
    age 49 b NC; Nancy Eaves age 38 b GA; Graves Eaves age 16; Rachel Eaves age 14; Caroline
    Eaves age 9; Sarah Ann Eaves at 8; Bency (perhaps Gracey) Eaves age 5; Vina Eaves age
    2; all children born in GA.
     Little is know of the children. Mrs Dixie Webster of Lindale GA wrote the author several years
    ago. She gave names of the children was follow: Graves, Rachel, Caroline, Martha, and Gracey.
    Mrs. Webster stated that her father was a son of Martha, but did not give her father's name. She
    said that she had a sister, Bertha Eaves Evans. She listed Graves Eaves' children as Grant, Allie,
    Gracy, and Amanda.
     Graves Eaves married Eveline Hall in Haralson County, They are buried in the cemetery at Piney
    Wood Primitive Baptist Church in Haralson County. Allie married C.A. Maner Dec 31, 1882.
     The late Jennie Eaves Morgan told the writer several years ago that Grant Eaves had a child
    buried in the old Eaves Family Cemetery, located on her father's place. It is possible that Lewis
    and Nancy are buried there also.
     The late C.C. Eaves is said to have stated that his cousins of Rome, GA build the Eaves storehouse
    on the Square at Buchanan. These men were brick masons and must have been members of Lewis
    Eaves family."
