I am researching the Eaton family and have acquired some information, i.e. IGI parish records births and marriages, excerpts of wills, Mayors of Dover. The subject of my search is John Eaton, reportedly the son of Nicholas Eaton of Dover, Kent. John Eaton arrived in America about 1635. The will of his step mother was probated in 1635. In it she mentions "sons in Law" which I infer to mean step sons. A step son John is mentioned, however, in the father's will of Dec 1636 and probated 1637 the only John Eaton mentioned was the son of his bother, Peter, deceased. Might he have been omitted from the will because he was already in America?
There was a will for Nicholas' first wife Jane Eaton written in 1584 and probated same year, but I do not know the contents. Does anyone have access to the Consistory Court of Canterbury or have any access to Eaton information before 1635?
