By John Eaton Alden. (From Dedham Historical Register, January, 1895.) Ann Whiting was the fourteenth and youngest child of Nathaniel and Hannah (Dwight) Whiting, of Ded- ham, and was born January 25, 1672-3. The birth is re- corded twice in the Dedham Records, but the date of her first marriage is not given. It was probably about 1694 that she was married to John Eaton, Jr., son of John^ and Alice Eaton, born Sept. 17, 1671. 'Her young husband died Oct. 28, 1694, and their child, John Eaton, w...as born five months after his father's death, namely, April 4, 1695, thus continuing the line of John Eatons. This boy was the fourth, beginning with one of the first settlers of the town, and four others have succeeded him, bringing the line to the present day, father and son for eight genera- tions named John Eaton ; and a large number of de- scendants can trace their ancestry to this boy, who was born an orphan. Ann and her boy went home and lived with her mother for six years, (see Register, October, 1893, P^-ge 142), and then, according to an expression much used in old wills in Middlesex County, " it pleased the Lord to provide for her by a second marriage." The record was, "John Lewis of Dorchester and Ann Eaton of Dedham, married April 4, 1700.
