My grandmother, the daughter of David and mary jane Newell, was born in the 1880's, so I think the David Eaker, you have records for, may have been a brother.

I do know that Mary Jane Newell was a second wife, and that there were several children of the first family.

I do know there was a half-brother named Adolphus, probably born in the 1860's-70's.

Who were Daniel W. Eaker's parents, and siblings?
