Jonas of Reading?

Jonas Eaton and William Eaton of Reading were, in fact brothers. William in his will names his brother Jonas. These brothers both arrived on the Hercules 1637. The ships manifest list both these men. William the older brother, was listed as the head of the family. Jonas is named on the manifest as his servant, the manifest only allowed stating family name and servant. Many local histories confirm and believe the relation of these men, such as the 'History of Reading Mass.(Wakefeild, Reading and North Reading)'.
