Either there was mistake in the collection of data, or this is John S. EAVEY'S father. He worked in his father's marble quarry in MD until his marriage, at which time he became engaged in the milling business. They migrated to Xenia, Greene Co., OH in 1841, with their two oldest children, traveling in a Conestoga wagon. He erected a brick house on Wilmington Pike where he died in 1879.

He appears with his parents in the 1860 census. No Arthur EAVEY can be found in the MS census records. However, an Arthur W. EAVEY, who fits the age of this Authur, b. in MD, whose parents were b. MD, is listed in four census records (1880 through 1920) as being an immate at the Dayton State Hospital for the Insane, in Van Buren Twp., Montgomery Co., OH. .
