Mystery Eaves-San Augustine/Shelby County, TX
Has anyone succeeded in solving the mystery of the parentage of William Monroe "Mack" Eaves; Susan Izora Eaves, who married Lafe Sanford, probably in Shelby County; and Mary Eaves, who married Aaron Witherspoon, probably in Shelby County.
William and Susan, both age 2, appear in the 1850 San Augustine, Texas, census in the household of Elizabeth (Bodine) Lout.Their surnames are then given as Lout.
Elizabeth (Bodine) Lout married Burrell Eaves in 1855 in San Augustine County, Texas.He died about 1858 in San Augustine County, Texas.
In 1860 William and Susan, both age 12, and Mary, age 7, appear in the census of the widowed Elizabeth (Bodine) Lout Eaves, all carrying the surname of Eaves.
San Augustine County school records have them listed with both the surnames of Eaves and Lout in various records.
William Monroe, Susan Izora and Mary all appear to have carried the Eaves surname as adults.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can shed some light on this mystery.It is driving me nuts!!
