Biography

Kent (historic flag)
John Eagleton was born in Chiddingstone, Kent, England.

John was born about 1804 [citation needed], but there seems to be a wide variation from the possible census records.

He was apparently the son of Henry Eagleton, tailor of Chiddingstone, Kent. He is referred to as his "son" in Henry's will, as well as within a summary of the will at The Weald. It is not known who is mother might be.

He married Caroline Austin [citation needed], daughter of John and Elizabeth Austin, marriage date unknown but prior to the 1861 census. It is not known if they had any children.

He died about November 1888 aged 84 years, registered at Bromley. He was buried at St Giles the Abbot Church burial ground, Farnborough, Orpington, Kent, on 19 November 1888. Caroline Everest Eagleton is also buried or commemorated there.

Research Notes

Early records (i.e. census) only refer to "John" and "Caroline". Latter records, such as his father's will and his death/burial records, refer to "John Everest". Caroline is likewise "Caroline Everest" in later records. It is not known where the "Everest" comes from. There was an Everest family around the same time in Chiddingstone, if that is any connection.

According to the Farnborough Parish of St Giles the Abbot burial records (Link and Link) there are several Eagletons buried in the churchyard:

  • Grave 1013: Caroline Eagleton, bur. 9 Jan 1907, age 10.
  • Grave OG000: Eliza Eagleton, bur. 21 Dec 1897, age 66.
  • Grave OG110: George Eagleton, d. 13 Mar 1867, age 37.
  • Grave 1013: John Everest Eagleton, bur. 19 Nov 1888, age 84.
  • Grave OG110: Mary Elizabeth Eagleton, d. 21 May 1868, age 8.
  • Grave OG110: William John Eagleton, d. 17 Dec 1868, age 11.

This age at death (10 years) for Caroline is not consistent with her other information.

From the Kent Archaeological Society monumental inscriptions for Farnborough Churchyard (Link): "110. Mr George EAGLETON of Leaves Green March 13 1867 aged 37. Mary Elizabeth Eagleton daughter of above May 21 1868 aged 8 years. William John Eagleton son of above December 17 1868 aged 11 years."

From the above, George and Eliza were likely married, and Mary and William were their children who died young.
