Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire compiled by Ezra S. Stearns Vol. III 1908 The Lewis Publishing Company New York, Chicago:

John and Anne Eaton with their six children came to our New England shores, like many other families of their time, without leaving any known record of the date or place of their arrival, or the vessel in which they came. His name first appears on the proprietors' books of Salisbury, Massachusetts, in the winter of 1639-1640.  It is supposed that the family came from England, but no trace of its ancestry has yet been found.  There were several grants of real estate made by the "ffreemen" of Salisbury unto John Eaton, senior, from 1640 to 1646 inclusive.  One was of a house lot in Salisbury, near the present
town office; the other supposed to be the one he lived upon, was a "planting lot containing per estimation six acres more or less, lying upon ye great Neck." His house was near the "great Neck bridge," on "the beach road."  This homestead never passed out of the Eaton family and is now owned by seven
sisters in equal and undivided shares, under the pleasing name of "Brookside Farm."  In the spring of 1646 John Eaton (1) was chosen grand juror, and also one of the five "Prudential men" to manage the affairs of the town.  In the same year he transferred his homestead to his son John (2) Eaton, and removed with the rest of his family about fifteen miles up the Merrimac to Haverhill, Massachusetts, where he spent the last twenty-two years of his life in tilling the soil and in manufacturing staves.  One of the entries in the records of the town of Haverhill is, "Anne ye wife of John Eaton died on the 5th of February, 1660." Another.  "John Eaton sen. and Phebe Dow, wid. of Thomas Dow of Newbury,
were married ye 20th of November, 1661."  John Eaton, senior, died in Haverhill October 29, 1668, aged seventy-three years.  Mrs. Phebe (Dow) Eaton died 1672. The children of John and Anne Eaton were: John, Ann, Elizabeth, Ruth, Thomas, and Hester.
