Classification: Lookup
Surnames: WESTFALL, EATON
I couldn't figure out website.

I have found 2 DAR listings on members of this family and the patriot used was JOHN EASTON, not a WESTFALL.

Daughters of the American Revolution Lineage Books (152 Vols.)
The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution Volume 109
page 132

Now I am curious to see if he used same ancestor as his patriot. I know that some of these early DAR listings didn't have good enough documentation for later generations.
Thanks for your help.
