from"Pennsylvania Vital records",Vol 11, Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc, 1983

Gilbert Cope copied the Dutton Records of deaths ,marraiges etc....a work compiled by or inthe possetion of Hannah Dutton for many years. A death is listed for Virgil eachus on 9-10-1839. It is likely that this is the Virgil eachus refered to in that work. Gilbert copied this list in 1873 and published his " Chester and Delaware Counties" work in 1904 so he should have the correct date for Virgils death.

Virgil married Bathsheba Webb on 4 Jan 1791 in St Michaels Zion Church, Philadelphia,. Bathsheba was born about 1765 in Maryland, USA; died on 3 Feb 1807; was buried in 1807 in Middletown Preparative Burying Ground, Lima, Delaware. Pa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On 22 March 1792 Joshua Vaughan of Aston Township, Blacksmith, and Jane his wife sold to Evan Eachus of Edgmont Township, Saddler. a messuage and tract in Aston Township containing 100 acres for ?375. The deed was acknowledged and recorded 22 March 1792.
It appears that Evans was a shrewd land trader and he bought and sold a number of farms during his lifetime. In addition he was also a substantial citizen. His name appears frquently as a witness on will and on other papers. At the time of his death,
he owned three farms, 110 acres in Upper Providence on which he lived and which he left to his son Emmor, 125 acres in Edgmont which he left to his sonEder, who had operated it since 1832, and 78 acres in Thornbury, which his executors were instructed
to sell. In his will he made specific bequests to his daughters and grandchildren, which totaled $10,000. And he specified that the proceeds from the Thornbury farm were to be divided equally among his heirs.
Evans owned the land in Upper Providence when he married Hannah. He appears on censuses 1800-50. The farm was at the upper end of Upper Providence next to Edgmont Township, with the Bishops as neighbours. The farm remained in the family untill 1914.
