<p>Son of Abraham Eyman II and Susanna Whetstone Eyman. He was born in Hardy County, VA, which is now part of West Virginia. He and his family migrated to St Clair County IL Illinois in the early 1800s, near the present town of Smithton, where he became a farmer and reportedly started one of the first apple orchards in the area. He marred Sally Wair, date unknown, who was from Peach Orchards, Gofs, AR. There were at least 9 children born to this union: George (c. 1826), Daniel Jr (18 September 1829), Catharine (14 June 1832 - 18 April 1853), Lydia (1834), Nancy, Elizabeth, Sarah, John, and Jacob Marion. He died in a cholera epidemic in Belleville IL and was buried on his farm. According to a Smithton Township genealogy book that I have, his grave was listed at this location along with hisdaughter, Catharine, based on a survey of all the known cemeteries, private and public, in Smithton Township that was done around 1985. Currently, his gravestone is no longer there due to it being lost, destroyed, or it possibly fell over and was eventually covered by soil.
