Elias Eagles
Born 11 Feb 1822 Apperly, Gloucester, England

Married Mary Crook 23 Feb 1844 England
Children: Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Joseph, Josephine
Life note: did not find this Elias or his marriage among the online Parish records.  However, I found the following info:  Elias and Mary lived in Nauvoo (Kimball 1ST: Block 3, Lot 1, 1/8 acre), Illinois and had one child there.  They moved to Iowa and had three more children.  This much is verifiable.
It gets wishy-washy after that.  One history claims that when the Nauvoo Saints were forced to leave Illinois, she went on ahead to Winter Quarters, Nebraska where she waited for Elias to join her and he never came - abandoning her.
Fact:  he could not have abandoned her in Winter Quarters because their other 3 children were born in Iowa, so he had to have stayed with her at least until 1850 when their last child was born.  It has even been suggested that he joined the Union army to save enough money to join Mary and the children.   With that said, it is also a fact that she traveled to Utah with the 2 children in 1852 and married Robert Knell in 1855 - years before Elias died in battle, which suggests they were divorced or just parted ways. 
Death 6 Apr 1862 Battle of Shiloh, Pittsburgh Landing, Bradford, Tennessee
Possible:  His death was supposedly recorded in a journal kept by a fellow soldier Jessie Jay who was a POW for 3 months (The online version claims he wrote: "...Our Company’s loss, Co. I, in killed known to us is Samuel D. Lockman of Davis Co.; Iowa and Elias Eagles of Mt. Pleasant...). This much gives us a bit more information:  he was "of Mt. Pleasant" so he may have remarried...needs more research.
Buried:  David Combe posted that you could look him up on the National Shiloh Cemetery list, but he wasn't there when I searched for him.
