        subject: Re: Egglestons/Eggletons
        This is my connection to the Virginia Eggletons, from my Dad on back. My Dad is Russell Eugene Eggleton (B: April 09, 1916 in Cincinnati, Ohio / D: April 12, 1994 in Miamisburg, Montgomery County, Ohio). Russell married Janet Mae Cogan-Eggleton (B: July 12, 1928 / D: November, 2012 [last week]). She is the daughter of William Ellsworth and Minnie Mae Pummill-Cogan. My Dad's parents are John Benjamin (B: January 06, 1869 in Burnt Chimneys, Henry County, Virginia / D: November 29, 1945) and Alfred Genevra Bishop-Eggleton of Brown County, Ohio. John Benjamin came with his parents to Brown County, Ohio, sometime about 1872, I believe.

My Dad's parents are John Benjamin (B: January 06, 1869 in Burnt Chimneys, Henry County, Virginia / D: November 29, 1945) and Alfred Genevra Bishop-Eggleton of Brown County, Ohio. John Benjamin came with his parents to Brown County, Ohio, sometime about 1872, I believe. Grandpa John's father, I understand, was an overseer for a plantation during the Civil War and maybe before. That, I believe, was somewhere around Burnt Chimneys, Henry County, Virginia. I also understand that my Grandfather John was reared by a slave girl. I'm NOT sure about this. Grandpa was born after the war and the slaves were freed about 1864. I doubt if the Emancipation Proclamation was adhered to immediately by slave owners, but I would think that by the defeat of the South in 1865, that law would have been in full force by 1869. It was no doubt more difficult for the slaves to transition to a free society. The slaves may have stayed on with their former owners for years after because they didn't know how to live free. The world at that time was probably in no safe way a good place to live for the ex-slaves. But, that is the story concerning my Grandfather. His Dad, I understand provided his family with a pretty good life, what with sending his girls to some sort of a prep school. They lived in Brown County, Ohio and that is where he met my Grandmother Alfred Genevra. She was named after a father who died two months before she was born. They later moved to Cincinnati for more work opportunities. I believe several Eggleton families lived together for quite a while in same dwellings, maybe 20 or more years. They lived mostly just southwest of current-day Lunken Airport. They lived as close to the Ohio River as humanly possible! I'm NOT exaggerating! They either lived across the street on Eastern Parkway OR they lived on the actual shore of the river. Later on in life, Grandpa worked as a 'hostler' (horse handler) for a lumber company in Cincinnati, Ohio. They either worked for a lumber company on the river or worked on barges, or something else related to the river. I don't know of any flood-related stories, during that period, but they finally moved to Middletown, Butler County, Ohio about 1920. Grandpa John and my Dad worked at ARMCO Steel in Middletown. My Dad went to war in 1942 (3rd Armored Division under Patton) and returned to ARMCO in 1945.
