Eaton Surname Meaning, History & Origin  |  Eaton Story  |  Eaton Time-Line

.

	How I a Young, in search of my Father Sep 1992, came to learn that my Father Richard Newton Young (whom I met for the first time 1968) was born as a Begnal after 2 years into researching him as a Young in 1994.  After obtaining my Father's birth certificate showing his birth as Newton Richard Begnal, parents Clifford Franklin Begnal and Thelma Fern Perry.    How and where the name Young came from is another story, I believe possibly an Earl L. Young per the 1930 Federal Census of 2 Apr, living at 1117 Plymouth Ave., San Francisco a Teamster, Trucking might have known Thelma and provided transportation for Thelma (my paternal grandmother), Clifford Anthony (uncle) & Richard Newton (my father) to San Pedro, as Thelma F. Benesch, as of 8 Feb 1930 marrying Robert J. Benesch, living per the 9 Apr 1930 census with Robert at 1377 Hayes St. San Francisco, CA, with her sons listed as Clifford G Benesh, 6, Stepson (Step Son) and Richard N Benesh, 5, Stepson (Step Son), my Uncle & Father.   Continuing to connect my Father's Life to the Present, he passes on 5 Jan 1995.  The Journey to connect continues wanting to learn now of my Begnal Lineage, and for the next 24 years researching Begnal, this too will change once again.   In 1994, having adding Paternal Grandfather Clifford Franklin Begnal, b. 31 Mar 1903, Utica, Oneida Co., NY to my Tree, the search connects George Felix Begnal & Elizabeth Shaughnessy as parents of Clifford, only no birth record has been found of this date 13 Feb 2024.   1994 I wrote the NY Health Dept & Utica Vital Statistics requesting a record find of a Clifford Franklin Begnal, b. 31 Mar 1903, Utica, sharing at the time that his parents were Elizabeth & George F Begnal, both NY Health & Utica replied with Birth Not Found & Possibly not recorded.   My quest continues for Clifford F Begnal (1903-1960), mother Elizabeth Shaughnessy (1882-1949), George Felix Begnal (1879-1957) for the next 22 years, thought to be his biological father.  Only I am not finding any records to verify Clifford's birth.   Yet another turn comes 29 Dec 2016, just 13 days after receiving my Ancestry DNA (Autosomal) Results. A Special Thanks to, my Cousin John William Rockwell Jr. for the marriage certificate discovery of Elizabeth Shaughnessy and Claude Brudenell Eaton 13 Jun 1900, New York Mills, Oneida Co., NY  Placing Claude Eaton as the potential birth father of Clifford Franklin Begnal, b. 1903, so I am hoping.   Another piece of evidence to my suspicions that George F Begnal might not be Clifford's bio-father, is a 1928 letter from Clifford Franklin, living in San Francisco, CA to his Aunt Ella (Shaughnessy) Rockwell in Utica, NY asking who his Father was, as Elizabeth had told him it was not George Felix Begnal.  Sadly I do not have a reply letter from Ella.   So my Search now is of Claude Brudenell Eaton (1879-1956) meaning those descendants of My GF Clifford Franklin Begnal (1903-1960), my Uncle Clifford Anthony Begnal Young (1923-2012), and Father Newton Richard Begnal Young (1924-1995) are Eaton Descendants not of Begnal or Young DNA, only by name.   Dec 2018, I take the FamilyTreeDNA  Y-DNA37 test, results in on 5 Feb 2019, of test Kit No. 892549 - I have 16 matches to the surname of "Eaton"  31 Aug 2019 with 8 @ 37marker and 8 @ 25markers.    Making it Official...I am now a Descendant of Francis Eaton (1595-1633) Bristol, England and of his 3rd marriage to Christiana Penn (1607--1684), their son Benjamin Eaton (1627-1711)  I am his 9th Great Grandson.   Francis Eaton's yDNA Haplogroup: R1b-M269 - My FamilyTreeDNA Y-DNA result 5 Feb 2019 is R-M269 (Kit No. 892549)

I have connected Claude Brudenell Eaton back to Francis Eaton, baptized on 11 September 1596 at St. Thomas' Church in Bristol, England. Francis was a son of John Eaton and his wife Dorothy (Smith).  He had younger siblings who were born after him - including Jane in 1598/99, Samuel in 1600 and Welthian in 1602, but all siblings died of a possible devastating illness in March 1603 which may have spread through the whole family. He was the only child of this family known to survive until adulthood. Eaton had become a house carpenter in Bristol by about age nineteen (c.1615) and was living in a tenement in the parish of St. Phillips, Bristol.  Bristol records subsequent to 1615, do not list Francis Eaton, who may have left England for Holland, as Bradford lists him on the Mayflower passenger list section for Leiden congregation members. Probably about 1618 or 1619 in England, Francis Eaton married a woman named Sarah (maiden name unknown).  There is no record in Bristol of his first marriage or of the birth of his son Samuel there, indicating the family may have lived elsewhere in England prior to boarding the Mayflower.   New England, The Great Migration Begins, 1620-1640 for Francis Eaton aboard the Mayflower, the ships Carpenter and the Mayflower's Descendants Source: Early life in England, a Mayflower Passenger - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Eaton_(Mayflower_passenger)  |  Mayflower Faces with 129 mentions of Eaton Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants  |  General Society of Mayflower Descendants  |  Who is Eligible to Join ?  |  The Eaton Families Association

Interesting Middle Name of Claude B Eaton, unknown how/why he was given this as a middle name.  So far no other Ancestor connected shares Brudenell as a Given, Middle or Surname.  Or if this Eaton Family has a connection to the following History of the name. Brudenell (surname) History - is said to come from the family of James Thomas Brudenell, who owned Kirkstall Abbey after it ceased to be a monastery in 1539. . James Thomas Brudenell was also the Earl of Cardigan.  This connection explains why many roads in the Hyde Park area of Leeds are named Cardigan and Brudenell, and therefore how the Brudenell itself got its name. Hyde Park is an inner-city area of north-west Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, situated between the University of Leeds and Headingley.  It sits in the Headingley and Hyde Park ward of Leeds City Council and Leeds Central constituency.
