Abigail Batcheler Damin Eaton was born 1600 in England and died after 1658 Dedham, Norfolk County, Massachusetts of unspecified causes. She married Henrie Damin (1590-1625) 6 March 1619 in Faversham, Kent, England. She married John Eaton (1611-1658) 5 April 1630 in Dover, Kent, England.
Biography
John Eaton married Abigail (____) Damon at St. James, Dover, Kent, 5 Apr 1630. They had six children: Mary Mason, John, Thomas, John again, Abigail Mason, & Jacob.
Through his marriage to the widow Abigail Damon, John Eaton became stepfather to her two children, JANE DAMON {1635, Watertown} & John Damon, who appeared in Reading in the mid-1640s. Abigail traveled to New England with her mother & stepfather, but John was not on the passenger list with them, & he may well have come later.
Some secondary sources claim that John Eaton's wife Abigail was sister of JOHN BACHELOR {1634, Watertown}. No evidence has been found to support this claim, but a record does exist which may explain why some researchers have been led to this conclusion. On 30 Jul 1641, "brethern John Batchellour & John Eaton with their wives" were admitted to Dedham church. This record describes Bachelor & Eaton as brethern in the church, but may have been taken innacurately by some researchers to indicate that they were brothers-in-law, assuming that Eaton had married Bachelor's sister. The maiden surname of John Eaton's wife remains unknown.
