Well, when I saw EATONS/BARKERS I had to respond, although I don't think we're looking at the same families.
My mother is a BARKER,whose family originally came from Rockingham Co, NC to Henry Co, IN around 1870. From there, they migrated to SE KY in 1880 & settled in Laurel Co. Mom's gr-grandfather was George Barker, who md. Denisa Sharp in Dec.1833 in Rockingham Co, NC. Her grandfather was John Allen Barker, b. 1844-NC, served in the 45th NC Confederate Infantry, & md. Nancy Jane McKillip in 1867. Mom's dad was Charles Oliver Barker, b.1873 who md Sylvania Eliz.Hensley in 1902 in KY.
My Eatons came from Grayson Co, VA to Whitley Co,KY around 1820. William Eaton, Sr (b.ca. 1769) md. Bertha Rutha (Sexton?). My gr=gr-gr grandfather William Eaton Jr, b.ca.1806 md. Nancy Knight (dau.of Robt.Knight) in Whitley Co, KY on 3/13/1825. My gr-gr-grandfather James Eaton, b.ca.1830 md. Mary Polly Faddis on 11/15/1853. My gr-grandfather Franklin Eaton, b.5/30/1866-Whitlley Co,KY md.America Melissa Barton. Their son, Thomas Milford Eaton, b.5/15/1887 md. Mary Ida Cobb (b.4/10/ 1897) on 8/24/1912 in Laurel Co,KY. My father Cecil Edgar Eaton, b.7/18/1920 md. Esther Marie Barker on 9/4/1944.
Sorry to be so long-winded. If you see a connection,let me know.
