Levi Eaton & Adaline Salisbury
|
LEVI EATON and his wife ADALINE SALISBURY were born and married in New York. Sometime around 1838-9 LEVI moved his family to Michigan where his daughter Selina C. Eaton married Daniel Louis Bailey who was from Ohio. It appears LEVI & ADELINE moved to Pulaski Co, Arkansas around 1871 & 1872. It appears that sometime after LEVI’s death, probably round 1877, ADELINE lived with one of their children in Lonoke Co, Arkansas. Son Welcome L. Eaton was living in Eagle Township, Lonoke County, Arkansas p. 367 on the 1880 Census. ------- Tax Assessment rolls for Crystal Township, Montcalm County Michigan Michigan State Archives Lansing for LEVI EATON Acres each Value Personal Tract or each Value Total State Co.

After 1877 LEVI disappeared off the Lonoke Co, Arkansas Tax records & it is assumed he died about this time.
