Looking for South Carolina Eatons
Thomas Eaton Married Mary Grooms January 1st, 1891.They owned land on what is now the Marine Corps base at Parris Island, SC.They lived on the Island and owned a grocery store there.Their daughter Julia (my great grandmother) worked in the store where lots of Marines would come in to purchase items.My great grandfather (John W. Stewart) was one of those Marines and that's how they met.
Thomas Eaton ended up in Charleston, SC after selling his land to the government for them to enlarge the Marine Base.
If you have any information on this Eaton line please contact me through here or my email.
Thanks,
Tracy
