Eaton History
As you well know, I am a fan of The Piedmont Trails blog. One recent entry, the family surname Eaton, falls right in with a direct family line of my own.
The Eaton family can be found throughout Stokes, Surry, and Rowan County-to name a few. Here is the link to the Eaton blog post. While you are there read about Christopher Valentine; most people find it to a unique and interesting story.

Hi…I’m Sylvia, the new Stokes County coordinator. I live in this area and my earliest (known) relative arrived in 1804. So I am always interested in the history of Stokes County! Don’t hesitate to ask questions, submit information, or say hello! If you hit a brick wall, not just in Stokes County, don’t hesitate to ask, I’m pretty good at solving mysteries 🙂
If you haven’t seen them, here’s just a few of our local Churches and Cemeterie
I love those extra things that bring history to life, so I shared a few Extra Links you may not have known existed!
