A Whole Lotta Family - Person Sheet
Notes for Marcus Robert Eames
The Eames family were a yeoman family in County Dorset in the south of England. Their home village of Fordington and specifically its historic church (857 CE), dedicated to England's patron saint, St. George, was part of a Royal Manor in the 8th and 9th Centuries and it is said King Alfred often spent Christmas at Fordington Manor. The church was noted as the royal church of the Kings of Wessex as early as in King Alfred's will in 899 CE.
Named for a "ford" over the river Frome adjacent to Dorchester, capital of the county, the village is nowadays a pleasant suburb just east of that city.11
