I'm sorry that i don't have anything about Richard H. But, you know, my mother told me repeatedly, when I was a boy (just a few short years ago, ha ha) that I was named for Richard C'oeur de Lyon (Richard I) from whom, she alleged, I was directly descended. Unfortunately, she gave me little detail of that and it may well have been from her family. However, barbara Fitzsenry and I have been nosing around the question of royal connection and neither of us has been convinced by honorable andstalwart opponents that the Stewart/Steward connection is not a viable one -- posibly. perhaps yes; perhaps no.
in any event, this leads me to a equestion that has long nagged at me. Does anyone know if the names Eaton and Eton are the same, or share the same root as doe heaton, Seaton, yeaton, eyton and others?
