In the book - BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF DISTINGUISHED AMERICANS, NOW LIVING. Philosophy Teaching by Example, by John Livingston,published in 1853 –
Nathaniel Ridley Eaves was noted to have been born in Bellfield,VA on the Meherrin River. His mother died when he was 5 days old. She left 3 sons and 1 daughter. She was a Holliday from Nansemond Co., VA.
His father (first name not given) was a native of Greenville Co, VA, and served in the Revolutionary War.
After the death of his wife, Nathaniel’s father moved the family to SC, Chester District, on the Catawba River. The children were entitled to an inheritance from their mother. Eaves fell sick during his journey back to Virginia to claim, on his children’s behalf, an inheritance from their mother.
A Nathaniel Eaves is noted on the 1820 Census for Union Co, SC along with William and Archibald Eaves.
I saw a reference to a Mark Eaves marriage to Sarah Holliday.
Mark Eaves is listed in the 1790 census for Halifax, NC but is not listed after that.
From future census, Nathanial Ridley was born circa 1791.
Nathaniel Ridley’s sister was Esther Holliday Eaves, who married John Ragsdale Buford in 1779 in Chester, SC.
Can anyone confirm that Mark Eaves’ marriage to Sarah (?) Holliday and these are the parents of Nathaniel Ridley Eaves?
