Levi Eaton & Adaline Salisbury

	LEVI  EATON  and  his wife ADALINE SALISBURY were  born  and married  in  New York.   Sometime around 1838-9  LEVI  moved  his family  
to  Michigan where his daughter Selina C.  Eaton  married Daniel  Louis Bailey who was from Ohio.  It appears LEVI & ADELINE moved to Pulaski 
Co, Arkansas around 1871 & 1872.  It appears that sometime after LEVI’s death, probably round 1877, ADELINE lived with one of their children  in 
Lonoke Co, Arkansas.   Son Welcome L.  Eaton was living in Eagle  Township,  Lonoke  County, Arkansas p. 367 on the 1880 Census.

1872 Property was under William Corby so that is when it changed hands & it is 
believed that is when the family moved to Arkansas.

1872 is the first deed for LEVI in Pulaski Co, Arkansas - parent county to Lonoke.  
After 1877 LEVI disappeared off the Lonoke Co, Arkansas Tax records  & it is 
assumed he died about this time.  His wife was living with one of their sons on the 
1880 census.
