He is described as "a very holy man, of great learning and judgment, and an incomparable preacher." A list of his publications is given by Wood.

Dr. Mather, speaking of the services rendered to the commercial interest of London, by Gov. Eaton, while in Denmark, in 1613, says the Eastland Company, on his return, presented his wife with a basin and ewer, curiously wrought with gold, and weighing above sixty pounds.† At Governor Eaton's death, this relic was valued at £41. Miss Hannah Eaton, afterwards Mrs. Jones, in an exchange of property transferred it to Theophilus Eaton, her only brother, who lived and died in Dublin. Gov. Eaton left no male descendants in this country. Among other treasures, a silver urn, valued at $30, made at Copenhagen, was presented to Mrs. Eaton in 1615, and is now in possession of the venerable antiquary, the Rev. Isaac Jones, resident Episcopal Minister at Litchfield, Conn.
