Father*David Heaton1 b. 28 May 1744, d. 25 May 1816
Mother*Abigail __?__1 b. 1743, d. 26 Jun 1789
Birth*14 January 1787Esther Heaton was born on 14 January 1787 in Swanzey, Cheshire County, New Hampshire.2,3,4 
(Daughter) Death26 June 1789She was 2 years old when her mother died on 26 June 1789 at about age 46.1,5 
(Daughter) Marriage21 December 1791She was 4 years old when her father married a second time to Naomi Root on 21 December 1791.6,7,8,9 
Research Opinion* The Heaton Families source reported that David Heaton had one child by his second wife, Naomi Root, and also reported no other children at all for David. Our research indicates that David's daughter, Esther Heaton, was actually the biological daughter of David's first wife, Abigail __?__. His daughter Esther, who was born in January 1787, was two years old when her mother Abigail died in June 1789. David married his second wife, Naomi, in December 1791 when Esther was 4 years old. It's very possible that Esther, who lost her biological mother at such a young age, and David's second wife, Naomi, who had no biological children of her own, bonded as mother and daughter.3,2 
Marriage*20 August 1806She married Ebenezer Wright on 20 August 1806 in Addison, Addison County, Vermont.10,11,12 
(Mother) Census US 185016 September 1850Esther was enumerated with her husband, Ebenezer Wright, on the 1850 census taken on 16 September 1850 in the household of their son and daughter-in-law, Amanda and John Wright, in Canton, St. Lawrence County, New York. Ebenezer was 71 years of age and a farmer, and Esther was recorded as 64 years of age.13 
(Wife) Death31 July 1851Esther became a widow when Ebenezer Wright died on 31 July 1851 at about age 72.12

Marriage*He married Maria Jane Banes.7,8 
Census US 1870*12 July 1870Maria and George Heaton were enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 12 July 1870 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. While everyone on the census page was recorded as having been born in Pennsylvania, we've learned that, at least with the Heaton family, the first five of their children were born in Maryland. It also appears that the census taker mixed up the names and ages of two of the middle daughters, Lucy and Lizzie, when he copied the information to his form later in the day.

The Heaton family was recorded in about the middle of the census page. George was 42 years of age and a farmer with a personal estate valued at $1,500, and Maria was 36 years of age and keeping house. Residing with their parents in 1870 were seven children.

George was 67 years of age and was employed as a house painter, and Ella was 66 years of age. They owned their home which was valued at $14,000, and did not own a radio set. On the 1940 census, their son, Ernest, would be enumerated with his wife in, and owned, this same house.7 
Census US 1940*8 April 1940Ella A. and George J. Heaton were enumerated on the 1940 census taken on 8 April 1940 in 28 East Fornace Street, Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It is unclear why they were identified as "father" and "mother", and between the census taker's errors and Ancestry's transcriptions, much of the census page may be incorrect. George and Ella were living in the same house occupied by their son, George Carmen, and his family in 1930, and Ella would die in the house in July of 1940. On the census that year, George and Ella were both recorded as 77 years of age.8
