Hello, Rather late in the day for this - The John Eves who married Edith Yeatman was born in Co. Offaly, Ireland. He was born in 1726 and his birth is recorded in Quaker records. His parents were living on the townland of Clonmore. His mother's maiden name was Chandlee [her forename Sarah] and one of John's sons, Chandlee Eves, was named for her. I have copies of this John Eves' father's will. I also have copies of two removal certificates for John Eves; one from the Edenderry Meeting to Dublin and one from Dublin to Philadelphia dated 1757. He did not marry Edith Yeatman until he came to America so some of their children's birthdates are "off" [too early] in a number of on-line sources. John was a 4th generation Quaker. His great grandparents and their children immigrated to Ireland. They were from Leicestershire. His grandfather, Mark Eves, who settled in Co. Wicklow has many sufferings records as do a number of John Eves' other Irish Quaker ancestors. John Eves b.1726-d.1802 was my 5th great grandfather. I have been researching Irish Quaker ancestors in the last few years and discovered that the early Quakers kept very good records... as some of you know. The specific birth location [Ireland] and immigration date [1757] is not critical for locating records of John Eves' [of Millville] descendants but thought I'd make the corrections in case someone else is looking into his ancestry.
