Update - Eaton Saddington (circa 1831 - 1892)
This post is an update to my post on Eaton Saddington, originally written on 10 August 2007 and updated on 14 August 2007.
This further information has kindly been supplied by Jamie Richards in Michigan, USA, to whom I am very grateful.
Susanna Saddington, Eaton's mother, died on 3 February 1883, at the age of 74 years, 7 months and 19 days, and is buried in the Pine Grove cemetery in Davison, Genesee County, Michigan. Also buried there is Eaton's younger brother, Thomas, who died on 24 April 1866, aged 20 years, 6 months and 2 days.
Thomas Saddington had joined the 30th Regiment, Michigan Volunteer Infantry, part of the Union Army (the Army of the North), at the age of 18. He was a member of Company I, which was stationed in Detroit, Michigan. The role of the 30th Regiment was to "render the frontier of Michigan secure from the incursion of the disaffected in Canada". He was a Private throughout his time in the Regiment, and died shortly after his discharge from the Union Army. According to Ancestry, his military record can be found on Roll 36 of Film M545 - US Civil War Soldiers 1861-1865.
Eaton's sister, Eliza, is now known to have been born on 11 April 1839 in Denford, Northamptonshire, and died in Davison, Genesee County on 4 February 1883. She was married to Richard Richards, who died in 1906. They are also buried in the Pine Grove cemetery.
Eaton's other sister, Elizabeth, was known in the family as Betsy. She was born on 25 August 1841 in Denford, Northamptonshire and died on 14 August 1921 in Davison, Michigan. She married Sidney Miller, who died in May 1909. They are also buried in the Pine Grove Cemetery.
Eaton and his wife, Emma Jane, had a number of daughters, including one called Mary. This may be Ida May, enumerated in the 1870 US Census, or it may be a later child as yet unlocated. Anyway, Mary married Charles Evans, and had three daughters, Nettie, Pearl and Grace. Unfortunately, both Mary and Charles died from an as yet unknown illness, and their daughters were raised by Mary's sister, Betsy, who I presume is the 1 year old Elizabeth enumerated in the 1870 US Census.
