• Notes

  (Research):EDWARD'S WILL IS IN WILL BOOK 1, PAGE 242 CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VA. 1695: Born, probably in England. 1714: Arrived in Virginia as indentured servant. In the year 1714, 608 acres of land in Henrico County was included in a grant to CHARLES HUDSON and JOHN BRADLEY then operating an organization known as "The Young Men's Adventure". The land was located on the North side of the James River on "Bever Pond" branch, the south branch of Tuckahoe Creek. The land was patented or granted on 16 June 1714. 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. 1732: Married Mary Vaden in Henrico County. The baseline information of this lineage originates from "The History of Edward Eanes of Henrico and Chesterfield Counties in Virginia", written by the late Colonel Richard Henry Eanes (b. 1889-), USA, Ret. (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. NUGENT, NELL MARION, abstractor.

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.

  [S1] Janice Fox, Janice Fox, Janice@ fox-engineering. Henry Sr. was the son of the immigrant, Edward Eanes of Chesterfield Co. who had land on Swift Creek and married Mary Vaden (probably another Huguenot name). It is now known that Edward Eanes came from England in 1714 with a company of Indentured Servants called The Young Men's Adventure. In the 1990s my husband and I checked the UK telephone directory for the Eanes surname. There were only two families with that surname: one in England, the other in Glasgow. Therefore, I figured that the surname was not English. Many of that name are found in the Castello Branco (White House) Province of Portugal. Gil Eanes was a famous Portuguese navigator, and Antonio R. Eanes was the President of Portugal in the 1970s. Both these men can be found on the Wikipedia. The portrait of Antonio Eanes looks just like my Uncle Curtis Oakes. I have a picture of my great grandparents, Thomas Jefferson Eanes and Nannie Alice Gray. TJE looks very Portuguese in my opinion.
