In that year his name first appears on the Proprietor's Book. There were several grants of real estate made by the "Freeman of Salisbury Unto John Eaton" from 1640 to 1646. One of these is thus described, "Containoning per estimation six acres, lying Upon Ye Great Neck." where it is supposed that he lived. This Homestead has never passed out of the Eaton Family, and is now known as Brookside Farm." "In 1646 John Eaton removed to Haverhill, Mass., and the last 22 years of his life were passed there. He died Oct 29th, 1668, age 73 years."
