My name is Tanya Eakes and I am from Mt. Juliet TN, Suggs Creek community (Wilson County). My grandparents are Howard Finley Eakes (1911-1994) and Lessie Mae (Peach) Eakes (1914-). There are Eakes graves dating back to the 1700's located at the Suggs Creek Presbytarian Church (the old schoolhouse). The graves show how the name evolved from Eaks to now Eakes. The church (schoolhouse) was also founded by a few of the Eakes family. I have some old pictures of the students, teachers, and founders, along with a diagram of who each person is in the photos. If someone else has some information on my family line, please email me. I would like to know where the Eakes' originated from and would like to start building a Family Tree.
