I have been looking at the Internet to see if I could find out anything on Joseph Martin Eden. I didnotfind much , but here is what I did find. He married Lavina (?) about 1849, possibly in Ky. (where?). Apparently she was only about 15-16 years old. On each census she showed a different birth year.Their children were: William (born ca 1850 in Ky.); John (ca 1851 in Ky.); Winfield (ca 1853 in Ky.); Martha (ca 1855 in Ky.); Lena (ca 1856 in Mo.); Thomas (ca 9/1859 in Mo.); Malvina (ca 1860 in Mo.); Eliza (1863 in Mo.); Mary (ca 1865 in Mo.); Sarah (1868 in Mo.).
On the 1860 census Martin had a son Thomas born ca 9/1859 and on the 1880 census he had a son Thomas born ca 1861. Ithink the one born 1861 was the same one born ca 9/1859.Apparently Sarah, born 1868 was named Sarah
Malvina.
Apparently Martin moved his family from Ky. to St. Genevieve Co., Mo. circa 1855-56.
Regarding who were Martin's parents, I didnot find out. Martin indicated he was born circa 1817 in Tenn. and both his parents were born in Tenn. I looked at the 1820 census of Tenn. and found no Eden families. I found a lot of Eaton families. They were: Daniel and Jesse in Rutherford Co.;David in Sumner Co.; James in Smith Co.; Joel, John , Jonathon in Jackson Co.; John, Thomas, and Robert in Davidson Co.; Joseph in Franklin Co., and William in Overton Co.
Onthe 1900 census son John was in St.Francious (?) Co., Mo.
Sorry I couldnot find anything else. Bob Eddings - no relation.
