  [S50] Plymouth Colony- Its History and People; AncestryView for Windows:, (Name: CD ROM;), Biographical Sketches. —A 1620 Mayflower passenger, Francis Eaton arrived with his wife Sarah and son Samuel. Bradford wrote "his first wife dyed in the generall sicknes; and he maried againe, and his 2 wife dyed, and he maried the 3 and had by her 3 children. One of them is maried and hath a child; the other are living, but one of them is an ideote. He dyed about 16 years agoe. His son Samuell, who came over a sucking child, is allso maried, and hath a child" (Bradford [Ford] 2:400, 410). Some genealogists believe that Eaton's second wife was Carver's unnamed maid servant who "maried, and dyed a year or two after, here in this place" (Bradford [Ford] 2:402). Eaton's third wife was Christian Penn. The first five generations of his descendants are given in MF 1. He died in the 1633 epidemic. His children were Samuel, Rachel, Benjamin, and a child, called by Bradford an idiot, of whom there is no further record. The first three children had issue. Eaton's inventory called him a carpenter and itemized a number of carpenter's tools (MD 1:197-99).
