According to the 1968 history, Henry ÙSis not mentioned in the Bristo l Parish register. He evidently had more children than the one mention ed here, but there is no record of them now. He gave the land that he r eceived from his father to his son Henry on June 3, 1768. It was belie ved from this that Henry Jr moved to Charlotte County to live, for he l ater disposed of the land that his father had given him and in the deed h e is described as being in Charlotte County. At this time, his descend ants are known and it is believed that Arthur and Edward, both Revoluti onary soldiers, were his sons and that they are the fathers of all the P ittsylvania branch of the family. There is much room for work on this f amily although considerable more information is included in the 1967 bo ok that was available in 1940 for them.ÙT

Hudson and Bradley imported 13 persons; indentured servants, to work the land and pay off their indenture over a period of years in return for payment of their passage to Virginia. The thirteen persons imported included five women: Susannah Hawkins, Rebecca Corne, Elizabeth Swan, Susanna Fludd and Eleanore Locksum and eight men; Robert Davis, John Tann, Matthew Gibbs, Thomas French, Christopher Hudson, EDWARD EANES, Richard Rite and George Scott.

(7-80) in 1940 and updated in 1968. Additional research since that time has helped plug in some information gaps and correct some errors as it pertains to the lineage of Joseph McKinley Eanes and his kin.

Exact record source is unknown. This birth year is used several times in Ancestry.com lineages tracing to this man.

The Family Data Collection - Marriages database was created while gathering genealogical data for use in the study of human genetics and disease. Compilings for genetic research does not require the same type of documentation as traditional genealogical research. The genes themselves verify relationships and qualify or disqualify a person from a particular study. Citing the source of every genealogical fact in the electronic gene pool was deemed unnecessary and cost prohibitive by medical researchers. Millions of individual records were created from birth, marriage and death records; obituaries; probate records; books of remembrance; family histories; genealogies; family group sheets; pedigree charts; and other sources. The records collected that did not fit a specific study became the project's by-products and were schedule to be discarded. After viewing the quality of the source material used to create the gene pool and despite the absence of cited documentation, the electronic rights to the data were purchased, rather than see it destroyed.

1736: "Edward 'Enes' appears in the Account Book of Sheriff John Nash. Eanes was responsible for three levys and 500 acres. The tax was paid by a "Col Kennon". A review of the account book indicates "Col Kennon" paid for several of individuals suggesting an indentured servant relationship. The "three levys" are speculated as Edward, his wife Mary Vaden and perhaps their child, William.

1757: Died in Chesterfield County between 4 April and 3 June 1757. Estimated age at death is 62 years of age.

1762: Mary "Eans" and "Bob" appear in the Chesterfield County list of Tithables for 1762.
