Name: Cathey Hargrove 
I am looking for information on Lazarus and Lydia EATON who came to MO from Haywood County, NC in 1816. The birth of their first child, Henry, is listed as being in Ste. Genevieve in 1816. By December 1818, when the second child, William, is born, they are in Washington County.

Lazarus came to MO with brothers, Abraham EATON and Absolom EATON, whose families remained around the Leadwood area of your county. Lazarus and Lydia left the area and journeyed to Perry County, IL in about 1841.

I am interested in information about where they may have lived, what church attended, and why they left while other family stayed IF anyone out there has that kind of information. This family has been pretty well researched, so I am hoping a local family member or resident may have such information.
