Joel appears as Joseph Eaves in the 1860 census. He appears as Joel or Joel E. Eaves in the 1850 and 1870 census and in his military records. His year of birth a "best guess" because he gave inconsistent ages to census takers and to the US military: he was probably born between 1805 and 1816. His Son Enoch is listed as Joel Enoch in the 1850 census, implying that Joel Sr.'s middle name may have been Enoch and young Enoch was a Junior.
Joel enlisted in the Union Army as did four of his sons. All five have military headstones in the Pulaski cemetery. The headstones were contracted on 9/8/1886 after the last of the five, Enoch, passed away in 1882. Enoch's headstone contract listed Augusta Cemetery (3 miles away) for delivery. Is it possible that Enoch was re-interred from Augusta to Pulaski? If so, it could have created some confusion for the history writers 40 years later:
The Harry Crane transcription of the Pulaski register quotes "The Story of Pulaski" (1921) by Ralph W. Crain which mistakenly lists Joel’s name as John and indicates “… of the five only one is buried here, John Eaves. The other four were his sons, and all the other head stones were placed there at the same time as it was planned that all of them would eventually be buried there.” These statements are confused, not only because John was not the father, but one of the sons, but also because the author implies that the sons were still living when the stones were ordered, whereas the opposite is the case.
Joel was living with Enoch’s family in North East Township of Adams County (about five miles from Pulaski) at the time of the 1870 census. Joel apparently survived his wife, Sarah. Enoch's younger brother Andrew was living with them, and they lived next door to William Thomas' widow (now Mrs Julia Robinson) and Joel's three grandchildren.
Joel died in 1875. It is likely that he is buried in Range F, Lot 13 where his wife, Sarah, daughter, Mary Jane, and son, John, are interred.
