      Arthur Washington Eanes: "Son of Arthur and Nellie Murray Eanes, b. March 25, 1800; m. Pittsylvania Co., Va., June 5, 1819, Elizabeth A. Riddle, b. Sept 22, 1802. Arthur was ordained as a Baptist minister at Fairfield Church on April 30, 1836, and was evidently a man of considerable importance in the communities where he lived. He is mentioned in the county records, and he married many couples, as those records show. He is mentioned in the Pittsylvania Co., Va. census report for 1850 with his family, and in the Henry Co., Va., reports for 1860 and 1870. In the latter his age is given as 70, and Elizabeth's age is given as the same. In the 1870 census he had living with him John (age 30), evidently his son, and William R. Eanes (age 22), not identified, evidently a near kinsman." (This is a direct quote from Col. Eanes book.
