FAMILY GROUP RECORD OF
RICHARD EAVES AND
ELIZABETH CORNOW
Margret Eves was born in about 1680 of Woodplumton, Lancashire,
England. No christening record is found for her, but the only
Eves/Eaves family having children in Woodplumpton in the 1670s and
1680s were the families of Richard and Thomas Eaves. Thomas Eaves
had his first child in 1685, and had a daughter Margret in 1698, so
is not likely to be Margret's father. Richard is the most likely
Margret's father.
Richard Eaves was christened 14 September 1635 in Preston,
Lancashire, the son of Raph Eyves, shoemaker. Richard married
Elizabeth in 1656 in Preston, a town about four miles south of
Woodplumpton. Richard's occupation was shoemaker. He married
Elizabeth Cornow, the daughter of Robert Cornow of Woodplumpton on
31 January 1656 in Preston. Both Raphe Eyves and Robert Cornow were
witnesses at the wedding. The Eaves children were christened in
Woodplumpton. Woodplumpton parish included the townships of
Woodplumpton, Bartle, Catforth and Eaves. Richard is shown as being
of Catforth in his children's christening records.
