Hello Jan,
Thank you for answering my post.I have been interested in the Heaton's of Davidson Co. TN for some time.Have you done a lot of research on them?I would like to find a will of Robert Heaton since I have been wondering if there were other children of his that were older.He and his wife were old enough to have been married as soon as 1785 and the childrens births start around 1798.My ggggrandmother was born around 1795 and she probably married around 1815 or so and they had a child in 1819 named Robert Eaton Prock and were listed on the 1820 census of Robertson Co. TN.His grandfather was in the Davidson Co. TN tax records in 1800 and was in TN somewhere in 1796 when his son, William Prock, was born.
Robert Eaton Prock went to Polk Co. MO about 1843 and was on the 1850 census there along with Ransom W. Eaton before Ransom moved to Greene CO MO where he is shown on the 1860 census.
There just seems to be a lot of ways these 2 families could have contact and so was curious about them.
I think you are right about Lucinda being Robert Heaton's daughter.I was trying to fit her into his 1820 census and she didn't fit, but I see she was married before 1820 and probably did not live in his household anymore.
Anyhow thank you for sending me your information.
