WARREN L. EATON was a second great uncle to me.
He was a career enlisted military cavalry soldier since 1864.
He was never married and bore no children of record.
He died at Whatcom Washington State in 1904.
Warren was enlisted in Hatch's Battalion of Cavalry, Company F, and previously in Aug/Sept 1862 for a short time with Brig. Gen. Oscar "Malmros' Guards" of Brackett's Battalion commanded by Captain F. A. Olds in southern Minnesota during the plains war with the Lakota band of Sioux, led by Chief Shakopee (aka, Little Six). According to company pay rosters and pension documents he was mustered in with Company F, Hatch's Battalion of independent volunteer cavalry July 5, 1864 and mustered out April 26, 1866.

Company F served much throughout and after the period of the Civil War to pursue, capture, and ultimately bring to justice the renegade Sioux native american chiefs Shakopee and Medicine Bottle together with a large number of Dakota warriors for execution at Fort Snelling in pioneer (1864) Minnesota.
He served at numerous frontier outposts throughout his career. Any citation connecting him to other Eaton families ancestries by marriage offering no other proofs excepting his name or other family tree claims must be regarded with much scrutiny.
