Biographical history

William Stuart Nelson Eagles was the son of Gideon and Mary Ann (nee Davis) Eagles. He married Elsie Jane Davison and had three children. According to the Eagles Families of North America (page 117-119), William left the Gaspereau Valley and went to Portsmouth, NH, for several years. He returned to the Hantsport area and worked as a butcher before going back to Vermont. In 1902, William came back to Kings County and had a farm and saw mill in Gaspereau.
