One was a daughter of William Isaac East (born in MS in 1825) and Keziah Smith (born in MS in 1821), and was born 4 Nov 1845; the other was a daughter of James East and Hannah Lofton, and was born 4 Mar 1845. William's daughter lived in Copiah Co in 1850 and 1860; James' daughter lived in Franklin Co in 1850 and 1860. Neither was found in any 1870 census. In 1870 and 1880 William and Keziah lived in Lincoln Co, the part whjich was taken from Franklin Co in 1870; in 1870 James and Hannah lived in Lincoln Co. In 1880 James' daughter lived with her husband John A Smith in Lincoln Co, and had a daughter named Elva. In 1900 James' daughter lived in Lincoln Co and was a widow living with daughter Elva.

        Rebecca S East [E4c5c2h], daughter of James East and Hannah Lofton, was born 4 March 1845 in Copiah Co MS. She married John Allen Smith on 3 April 1867 at Meadville, Franklin Co. He was born in Franklin Co MS on 7 April 1843, son of Nathan Smith and Mariam Putnam, and they lived in Lincoln Co. John had rheumatism in 1880. He died on 16 April 1889 and was buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Lincoln Co. Rebecca then moved in with her daughter Elva. Rebecca died on 21 June 1932 and was also buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery. They had ten children, all born in MS, and eight still alive in 1900-

        Rebeckah East [E4c3a6j], daughter of William East and Rachel Talbot, was born 3 August 1819, probably near the White Water Quaker Church in IN Territory since her parents were members of the Quaker Church there since December 1815. (M92,Q)

        Rell Banks East [E19a8j9], son of Christopher Columbus East and Louisania Josephine Fuller, was born 29 October 1907 in Tallapoosa Co AL, died 12 May 1927 and was buried in Lebanon Cemetery, Tallapoosa Co. (CS,258wv)

        Rennie M East [E1b4b6a], son of Joseph A East and Sarah L Newcomb, was born 27 March 1884 in MS, probably at Corinth where his mother's parents lived. In 1900 he was a living with his mother at Savannah, TN and in 1920 was living with his mother at Muskogee, OK. Rennie had married Mrs Ioney Clark in 1916. She was born in TN in 1883. In 1930 Rennie was still married, but he was living in a rooming house at Oklahoma city without his wife. Rennie was then a roofer. Ioney had a daughter Vera Clark from her prior marriage. Vera was born in 1904 in OK. (M77,9u,573w,832f)

        Rennie East [E4c6c5d6e11], son of John S East and Nancy Jennie Lindsey, was born 5 April 1912 in Barren Co KY. He was a twin of Ray East, and died in November 1970. (Z,113bw,506f)

        Ressie "Bessie" Idora East [E19a3e4p], daughter of George Zealous East and Sarah Knight, was born 15 March 1914 in Randolph Co AL, died 7 March 1980 at Trussville, Jefferson Co AL. She married Marvin Leon McCollum. He was born 14 February 1916 and died 14 April 1980 at Trussville. Ressie and Marvin are buried in Christiana Baptist Church Cemetery, Randolph Co. (CS, 47wf)

        Reuben East [E1b4b], son of John East and Elizabeth Payne, was born in Henry Co VA on 12 March 1819. He married Harriet Knight Young about 1840, probably in Giles Co TN. She was the eldest child of Rufus K Young and Rebecca Young (no relation), and was born 12 March 1821 in Giles Co. Harriet grew up in Giles Co. Since she and her brother Amaziah were members of Robertson Fork Church in northeast Giles Co in the 1830s and until after her marriage, it can be assumed that this is where the marriage took place. Reuben and Harriet moved to Wayne Co by August of 1841 and lived there for over twenty one years where he was a farmer and justice of the peace. The Wayne Co court booted Reuben out of office "for holding an office under the so called Confederate States of America" on 3 July 1865. Soon afterwards Reuben, Harriet, and most of their children moved upriver to Savannah where Reuben opened a hotel called the East House in the center of town south of the town square on the southwest corner of the intersection of Court St and Cherry St (picture). This was the only hotel in Savannah until 1888 when the metropolitan was established. They sold their hotel on 8 April 1892 to Mr J K Barlow, but remained at Savannah until their deaths. At Savannah, he was also a justice of the peace. Over the years they lived in their nearby home, but apparently were living in the hotel when it was sold. Reuben was elected to be a ranger in Savannah for two years beginning in January 1887, and again in January 1890.

        Harriet and Reuben were the family magnets over the years; as long as they were living, their children often moved back to Savannah even after having married and moved away. Harriet died 21 July 1897, and Reuben on 23 July 1896; both are buried in the Savannah Cemetery. They had eleven children-

1.     John Harston East, b 7 Dec 1841

2.     Frances E East, b 1843

3.     Harriet A East, b Oct 1845

4.     Mary A East, b 9 Apr 1847

5.     Rufus A East, b Jul 1850

Harriet Young's brother Amaziah had a son Jeremiah Young who first married Emily East, Harriet's daughter. After Emily died, Jeremiah married a daughter of Harriet's oldest son John H East. (M77, L,N,FE,11nqy,9rsczy, C,15kzw,51c)

        Reuben D East [E4a3a3a6b], son of John East and Elizabeth Lydia Tilley, was born 7 April 1852 in Stokes Co NC. He married Martha A Lawson on 18 February 1872 in Stokes Co. She was born in March 1854 at Snow Creek, Stokes Co, daughter of Rhode Keener Lawson (he was a son of Thomas Lawson and Celia Hall) and Louvina Lawson (she was a daughter of John Lawson and Sarah Shelton). Reuben died 2 April 1901 and was buried in Smith-East family cemetery in Meadows Twp on Piney Mountain Rd in Stokes Co. In 1880 Reuben's brother Madison lived with him, and his widowed mother lived next door with her two youngest sons. Two doors away in 1880 was Russell East (Burel Milton East), born in NC in 1831. Mary apparently died between 1880 and 1900 because Reuben's wife in 1900 was Mary ______, who was born in 1854 in NC. Either she was a new wife, or was actually Martha. Reuben had four children by 1880, then -

1.     James Monroe East, b 26 Oct 1872, married and had children by 1900. When James registered for the WW1 draft, he gave "Larthima C East" as his closest relative, and they lived at Walnut Cove in Stokes Co in September 1918. Their apparent children lived with James' parents in 1900-

        a.     Fred East, b 1894 (76u)

        b.     Foy East, b 1895 (76u)

        c.     Lora East, b 1897 (76u)

4.     Thomas J East, b 3 Feb 1879 (M,76s)

5.     Mannie East, b 1881 (76u)

Reuben's brother "Madison T East" lived with them in 1880. (W,76qrsuc)

        Reuben M "Rube" East [E1b12k], son of Barzley Graves East and Elizabeth Frances Tanner, was born 17 January 1867 in McNairy Co TN. He was a farmer in McNairy Co, and married Ida Kendrick in Mcnairy Co on 26 December 1897. She was born in TN in August 1875. About 1906 Reuben had married a second time, to Mary Dee Erwin. She was born in TN on 3 November 1878 at Crump, Hardin Co, daughter of David Nathaniel Erwin and Mary Susan Barlow, and died at Lawton, McNairy Co on 1 June 1960. In 1932 Reuben lived at Adamsville, in McNairy Co about ten miles northwest of Savannah, where he was a farmer. His brother Bob was living with Rube's family in 1930. Rube died at Lawton on 26 September 1956 and was buried in Clear Creek Church Cemetery near Stantonville. He had two children by 1930-

1.     Ancle Grady East, b 6 Oct 1898

2.     Mattie Sue East, b 15 Dec 1907

In 1920, Mary Dee's father was living with her and Rube. (B,W,EP, 13smuvfc,9w)

        Rex Jay East [E1b13k3b3], son of Acel W East and Nila Larson, was born 3 December 1946 at Tucson, AZ. He married Merilee Murry on 18 November 1966 and they lived at Benson, Cochise Co. (NL,1101P)

        Rhea L East [E4a3a6d4g4], daughter of Harley Miner East and Nellie Alfretta Bonine, was born 5 May 1910 in MI. She was a bookkeeper for a clothing store in1930, was still single, and lived with her parents at Niles, Berrien Co MI. She married Howard A Prather and died 8 May 2000 at Newman, GA. Howard was born 7 June 1908 at Marcellus, Cass Co, son of Thomas A Prather and Josie B _____, and died 6 April 1936. Rhea married a Mr Benninghoff after Howard died. She and Howard had a daughter who used the Benninghoff name. (W,72vwf, 955w,946f)

        Rhoda East [E4a2a4c], daughter of Isaac East and Joyce Pemberton, was born about 1804 in Pittsylvania Co VA. She was a small girl when her family moved to Adams Co Ohio. Rhoda married James Cox on 9 December 1824 in Adams Co. Her marriage date could have been in 1821, not in 1824, misread by researchers 150 years later; check the birth date of her son Ennis.. James was born about 1803. In 1830 all of Rhoda's sisters can be accounted for, and yet there was a female of Rhoda's age who lived with her parents, and probably had two young sons under age 5. At the same time that summer, James Cox and his two sons and wife lived in Fairfield Twp, Butler Co OH (as did Rhoda's sister Nancy). Perhaps Rhoda was listed with her parents a few weeks earlier while James established a home in Butler Co, then Rhoda and her two sons moved west and were picked up in the Butler Co census. The two sons in the Adams Co census were both under age 5; the two sons in the Butler Co census were one under age 5 and the other was age 5 to 9; both parents in Butler Co were of Rhoda's and James' ages.

        In 1840 in Bartholomew Co IN, both James Cox (and Rhoda) lived a few doors from Rhoda's sister Nancy and Nancy's husband William Nichols. Rhoda was at Union, Davis Co IA in 1860. She lived three doors from her sister Nancy and brother-in-law William Nichols. Rhoda was living with her son Amos Cox, age 37. She claimed she was born in 1804 in VA, and Amos Cox was born in OH (Census page 142). Rhoda's apparent sons were-

1.     Ennis Cox, b 10 Jun 1822

2.     son Cox, b 1826-1830 in Adams Co OH, lived with his parents in Butler Co OH in 1840. (275j,737k)

3.     dau Cox, b 1830 in either Adams Co or Butler Co OH. She was not picked up in the 1830 census, so was likely born in 1830 after the summer census was taken. (737k)

4.     dau Cox, b 1826-1830 in either Adams Co or Butler Co OH. Since she was not picked up in the 1830 census, she was likely trying to impress the 1840 census taker and gave her age a year or two older, as children often did. (JY,737k)

5.     dau Cox, b 1831-1835 in Butler Co OH. (737k)

6.     William S Cox, b 1839 (M38,737j, 483qrsc)

        Rhoda East [E4c5a4e], daughter of Joel L East and Rebecca Lofton, was born 4 December 1811 in Caldwell Co KY. She married William Augustus Cannon in Caldwell Co on 7 November 1839. He was born in 1811 in Caldwell Co, son of Nathaniel Cannon from NC and Mary East from SC (married in NC about 1793). Rhoda and William lived in Caldwell Co until the 1850s. In the 1850s they moved west to Lyon Co and were there in 1860. In 1870 they lived in western KY in Union Co. Rhoda died in the 1870s and in 1880 William was living with his son Miles in Lincoln Co MS. They had three children, all born in Caldwell Co-

1.     James Cannon, b 1840, after May. He was still single in 1870, living with his parents in Union Co KY. (538kn, 666q,667r)

2.     John Cannon, b 1842. He was still single in 1870, living with his parents in Union Co KY. (W,538n, 666q,667r)

3.     Miles Cannon, b 31 Jul 1844, moved with his family to Lyon Co KY when he was a boy. Miles moved to Lincoln Co MS in the 1860s and married his cousin Edna East [E4c5c2f] about 1871, probably in Lincoln Co MS where she lived at the time. She was born 23 December 1840 in Caldwell Co KY, daughter of James East and Hannah Lofton. In all census records prior to 1880, her name was given as "Edney." Miles and Edna lived for years in Lincoln Co, but died at Wesson, Copiah Co MS, the county just north of Lincoln Co in southwest MS. Edna died on 10 April 1931; Miles died on 16 December 1893. They had seven children, all born in Lincoln Co MS-

        a.     Sarah Elizabeth Cannon, b 21 Dec 1872 (W,39s)

        b.     William Augustus Cannon, b 6 Nov 1874 (W,39s)

        c.     Rhonda Ann Cannon, b 10 Feb 1876 (W,39s)

        d.     Rebbeca Isiphene Cannon, b 3 Aug 1877 (W,39s)

        e.     James Robert Cannon, b 10 Feb 1879 (W,39s)

        f.     John Patrick Cannon, b 8 Apr 1881 (W)

        g.     Mary Edna Cannon, b 6 Mar 1883 (W) (W,38nq,39r, 538n,666q)

Lucy A Coleman, age 10, lived with William and Rhoda in 1860; in 1870 a little girl E J Coleman lived with them, and Lucy Coleman was not there. Both Coleman girls were born in KY. Rhoda's sister Elizabeth East, who married Joseph Gaynor Cannon, also moved to Lyon Co KY. (W,538ijmkn,666q,667r, 39s)

        Rhoda East [E19c2], daughter of Jesse East and Micky East, was born in 1827 in Troup Co GA (age 23 in 1850 GA, 28 in 1860 GA, age 36 in 1870 AL) was still single and living with her parents in Jackson Co AL in 1870. (246j,47k,243n,271q, 212r)

        Richard East was living in Elizabeth City, VA on 16 February 1623, and died in 1624. He was buried in Elizabeth City. (M88)

        Richard East first started appearing in Henrico Co records on 11 September 1732 when James Pirant sold 290 acres next to Chickahominy Swamp in Henrico Co to Isaac Winston for £100. Richard East was a witness to this sale. William East [E4b3] also lived next to this swamp about this time, as did various Woodson families. On 2 October 1740 "Richard East of St Pauls Parish, Hanover Co," traded to John Kirsie of same, for 79 acres of land on Chickahominy Swamp next to Thomas Baughan and Richard East, a plantation of 100 acres on the branches of Deep Run next to William North, William Randolph, and Abraham Childers, on a branch called Old House Branch. So these two land sales tell us that Richard had moved north to neighboring Hanover Co between 1732 and 1740. But on 3 August 1745, "Richard East of County & Parish of Henrico" sold 116 acres in Henrico Parish on Stoney Run to William Ellis of Henrico Parish for £30. Richard's wife Elizabeth relinquished her dower for this sale. Richard was now living back in Henrico Co. And a Henrico Co court order of early 1737 mentioned "Richard East and Elizabeth his wife." So we know he was married by then to Elizabeth. The Henrico County Parish Vestry records show that Richard lived in the Second Precinct.

        On 31 August 1745 Richard East of Henrico Co bought 50 acres at the head of Deep Run from Thomas Smith. This Thomas, two days later, sold another 164 neighboring acres for £23. And on 7 October, for £10, Richard sold 150 acres to Robert Childrers, land bounded by the lands of Michael Holland, Meridith's branch, Blackband's corner, and Obediah Smith. On 5 April 1747 Richard East of Henrico Parish and Co sold 100 acres on a branch of DXeep Run called Drinking Hole branch to Thomas Pass for £5. On this same date Richard also sold another 100 acres on the south side of Deep Run for £5 to Alexander Padason. But on 1 March 1748 Alexander Padason sold this same land back to Richard East for £30. In all thse sales, Richard signd his name. And on 7 March "Richard of County & Parish of Henrico" sold 70 acres in the upper part of the tract where Richard lived to Robert Williams for £21. (M15,29yz)

        Richard Sim East [E19a9b], son of James M East and Lucinda A Duke, was born in September 1848 in Randolph Co AL. He grew up in Randolph Co and in Chambers Co after his father died. It was probably in Chambers Co where he married Georgia _____ about 1867. She was born in AL in 1850. They weren't found in 1870, but in 1880 they were living in Chambers Co. Georgia must have died in the early 1880s for Richard was found living in Chambers Co in 1900 with a new wife, Sarah D _____. He married her in 1883. She was born in AL in January 1850. They had one child who died before 1900 and they lived in Chambers Co where Richard was a druggist at Bethlehem. Sarah apparently died soon after 1900 because Richard and his third wife Callie Belle _____ were married about 1903 and were living in Chambers Co. Richard, then using his middle name, was still a druggist. Callie was born in AL in 1882. Richard died in the 1910s, after three children with Callie. In 1920 she and her three children lived at Langdale, Chambers Co and she worked in one of the cotton mills. Richard had nine children, all born in Chambers Co-

1.     Martha East, b 1868 (256s)

        Richard Templeton East [E4a2a3e5], son of Thomas C East and Matilda Watson, was born in July 1845 at Chatham, Pittsylvania Co VA. In 1870 he was the eldest child still living at home with his parents. Richard married Isabelle Anderson on 20 December 1870 in Pittsylvania Co. She was born in Pittsylvania Co in November 1847 close to Chatham, daughter of Demarcus "Mark" Anderson and Mary Smith. As a girl, living with her parents, she was Isabella with an A at the end of her name; as she became an adult, her name became Isabel or Isabelle, without the A ending Richard and Isabelle lived at Staunton and had five children by 1880, ten by 1900 with nine still alive. In order to provide an education for his children, he donated land for a schoolhouse, called the East Schoolhouse. His daughter Emma became a teacher there. Richard died in the 1910s and Isabelle lived with her son Joseph and daughter Daisy in the Staunton area. All the children were born in Pittsylvania Co-

a.     Nellie K "Willie" East, b Dec 1871 (called Willie in 1900 and 1920, Nellie on other census records), married George Dudley Smith in Pittsylvania Co on 11 January 1894 and lived at Staunton River Twp in Pittsylvania Co close to her parents for the first few years until soon after April 1910 when they moved to Altavista, Campbell Co. George was in the 1910 censuses of both counties that year; on 29 April he was a roomer living next to Nellie's brothers in Campbell Co, and on April 15 he and Nellie and their children were at Staunton River in Pittsylvania Co. So apparently he was getting a home ready for them in Campbell Co in the month of April. George was born in VA in December 1872, son of George and Eliza Smith. He claimed he was age 21 when he married Willie, so if that was correct, he was born in 1874. George D ran a livery stable in 1910. He and Willie had ten children, the first nine born at Staunton River, Pittsylvania Co VA-

        1.     Clarence R Smith, b Jan 1895, worked at his father's livery stable in 1910. (27uv)

        2.     George W Smith, b Apr 1896 (27uv)

        3.     Pearl D Smith, b 27 Nov 1898, worked in 1920 as a driver at his uncle Luther East's (or his father's?) livery stable next door. On his draft registration in September 1918 he claimed his nearest relative as "Mrs Willie K Smith" of Altavista. Pearl was a chauffeur then for the Altavista Cotton Mill. Pearl married Gladys _____ in 1921 and they lived at Altavista. She was born in VA in 1901 They had xx children by 1930-

                a.     Virginia Smith, b 1922 (25f)

b.     George T East, b 1873, lived at Otter River Twp in Campbell Co in 1910 and 1920 with his brother Luther; in 1930 he lived with his sister Nellie at Altavista, and was then a truck driver. He never married. (27s,25vwf)

c.     Luther LaFayette East, b 29 Dec 1875, lived at Otter River Twp in Campbell Co in 1910 and 1920 with his brother George. Neither was married by 1910, but Luther married Holms L ____ about 1914. She was born in VA in 1893. When he registered for the draft in September 1918, Luther named his mother ("Mrs Neller East") as his closest relative, not his wife. Luther ran a livery stable in addition to farming, but after they moved to Altavista in the 1920s, he became a taxi driver. Luther and Holms had five children; the elder four (or all?) were born on the family farm in Otter River Twp, Campbell Co VA-

        1.     Rebecca East, b Jan 1915 (25wf)

e.     John East, b 1878 (27s)

f.     David Taswell East, b 15 April 1881 at Hurt, Pittsylvania Co VA, was named after his mother's brother. David moved to Roberts, Jefferson Co ID by September 1918. He married Mary Dancy Payne about 1914 and in 1930 they lived with her parents at South Nampa, Canyon Co. She was born in Monroe Co TN in March 1884, daughter of Floyd Lafayette Payne and Mary Elizabeth Saffles, and died in Canyon Co ID in November 1943. David claimed he was born in 1881 on his WW1 draft records, but 1882 for Social Securty Retirement records. He died in October 1971 at Nampa. They had no children. Taswell's cousin George Cabbel Parsons [E4a2a2e3d] had also moved to Roberts, ID. (M,27nqu,694f)

g.     Joseph Richard East, b 20 Apr 1885, in September 1918 worked for his mother and named her as his closest relative. They both lived at Hurt, Pittsylvania Co. Joseph was not married by 1920. His sister Daisy was still single also, and living with Joseph. Their widowed mother was also living with Joseph and Daisy in 1920. He was not found after 1920. (M,27uvw)

h.     Benjamin Harrison East, b 18 Jan 1887 at Hurt, Pittsylvania Co VA, moved to the Pacific Northwest and was found working as a carpenter in the summer of 1917 at Tacoma. He was by then married and had a child. His wife was Elsie _____, born in 1895 in VA. Apparently lived in the Pacific Northwest didn't suit them; in 1930 they were living back in VA, in Campbell Co at Altavista. Ben died there in May 1972. They had two sons-

        1.     Ralph L East, b 19 Nov 1914 in Johnson Co ID. He died at Hurt, Pittsylvania Co VA in November 1970. (M,Z,694w, 25f)

        2.     Willard East, b Feb 1919 in VA (Pittsylvania Co?). (694w, 25f)

Ben's cousin John Carter lived with him and Elsie in the winter of 1919-1920 at Nanpa, Canyon Co ID. Since Ben and Elsie's son Willard was born in VA, it is likely that cousin Carter came back to ID with them in the summer or fall of 1919. (M,Z,27u, 694w,25f)

i.      Daisy F M East, b 28 Jul 1891 (she claimed she was born in 1889 for Social Security records), died at Altavista, Campbell Co in October 1971 where her brother Ben and sister Nellie lived in 1930. (Z,27uv)

j.      child East, b & d 1870-1900 (27u)

Richard's next door neighbor in 1910 was his nephew George C Parsons [E4a2a2e3d], son of Mariah L East. Demarcus Anderson and Mary Smith were married in Pittsylvania Co on 13 October 1845.

There was a Richard East of the same age living at Fincastle, Campbell Co in 1880. He was married to Sally from TN and they also had a son named Luther. This Richard was a son of Thomas East [E4a2a7a] and Elizabeth West from Tazewll Co VA in the 1860s and 1870s. (L,27mnqrsuvw)

        Richard Zealous East [E19a2a8], son of Benjamin Franklin East and Susan Jane Duke, was born in December 1869 in Randolph Co AL. He was Richard, age 5/12 in 1870; Richard Z, age 10 in 1880; Richard D, born in December 1869 in 1900. Richard married Annie O _____about 1889, probably in Randolph Co. She was born in 1871 in AL. They lived in AL in the early 1890s, TX in the mid 1890s, then in GA by the late 1890s, at Lanette, Chambers Co AL in 1900, and in 1910 they were living at Columbus, Muskogee Co GA (two counties southeast of Randolph Co AL) where Richard worked as a card grinder for a mill. He and Annie had four children by 1910-

        Riley C East [E19a3e1a], son of Henry Buchanan East and Mary A Missouri Bean, was born 4 September 1879 in Randolph Co AL, and died there on 29 May 1895 of typhoid fever at Christiana. He is buried in Christiana Baptist Church Cemetery. (CS,47sd,257u)

        Rita Cynthia East [E4a3a6d1g24a4], daughter of Lolen David East and Victoria Flores, was born 1 March 1959 at Sacramento, CA. She was adopted by Lolen and Victoria at the age of six months; her original parents are unknown. Cynthia took Green as her family name as a teenager, after her adoptive parents divorced and her mother married James Robert Green. Cynthia married Glenn A Wennberg in Los Angeles Co on 8 May 1982 and they lived at Moorpark, CA in 2011. Glenn was born 21 May 1960 in Los Angeles Co. Cynthia and Glenn had two sons-

a.     Trevor Jan Wennberg, b 19 May 1986 at Ventura, CA. (SE,CAb,N)

b.     Jared James Wennberg, b 10 May 1991 at Ventura, CA. (SE,CAb,N) (RR,SE, 790P, 70bm)

        Rita Novelle East [E4a3a6d1g14b], daughter of Harvey Bea East and Kathryn Mae Slayton, was born 14 November 1928 at Manila, AR. She married John Joseph Mahoney on 27 January 1951. He was born in San Francisco on 11 November 1927. They had seven children-

        Robert East, Robert Povall, Thomas Povall (all made their "X"), and Woodson and Samuel Trotman appraised the estate of the late Daniel Price in Henrico Co VA. Price died on 1 April 1692, so Robert was likely born by the 1660s or before. (M15)

        Robert East [E14c] probably was a son of James East Sr and Ellphan _____ of Oglethorpe Co GA. (DM)

        Robert East [E14d2], son of James East Jr and Mary Edwards, was born about 1792 in Oglethorp Co GA. He fought in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. The New Orleans battles took place during the months of December 1814 to January 1815. This would put Robert's probable birth date in the early 1790s in Oglethorpe Co GA. He was not at home with his parents in 1820 and 1830. There was a Madison Co IL marriage between Robert C East and Hannah Furley on 11 November 1840, but this marriage was with the elder Robert's nephew, son of his brother Henry Tate East [E14d1]. (ST)

        Robert East [E1d10], son of Joseph East and Jane Rea, was born in either KY or in Franklin Co AL between 1800 and 1830, and died in 1892. (EE,EP)

        Robert East [E4a2a5h3], son of Grief Edward East and Sarah E Walker, was born in June 185_ in Halifax Co VA, and died soon after. He must have died because his parents had another child named Robert Clifton East born 23 March 1853 in Halifax Co, and there is a four year gap between Robert Clifton East's birth and brother Beverly East, born in September 1849. The birth record of the first Robert is hard to read, and the day of the month and the complete year cannot be read. (SS)

        Robert East [E4c5c6h], son of Daniel East and Sarah Carraway of Caldwell Co KY, was born 14 July 1855 in Trigg Co KY. (M92)

        Robert Marion East [E4c6c5d4e1], son of Andrew Timothy East and Sarah E Mercer, was born 26 October 1885 at Betsey, Wayne Co KY. He married Laura _____. She was born 16 April 1888 and died 13 July 1907, and was buried in the East family cemetery just east of the town of Betsey. Her gravestone says "Wife of Robert" and she is buried next to Robert's parents. Robert then married Lula Vaughn about 1914 and in June 1917 they lived at Goodwine, Iroquois Co IL. When he registered for the WW1 draft, he signed his name Robert Marion East, but for the WW2 draft, he said his middle inital was only that, not a middle name. In 1920 they were at Fountain Creek, Iroquois Co and he worked at a grain elevator. Lula was born at Mill Springs, Wayne Co in September 1889, daughter of John Henry Vaughn (30Aug1856KY) and Hannah E Hutchinson (01Oct 1859KY). In 1942 Robert worked for the WPA and lived at Clermont, OH. They had three sons by 1920; he apparently had no children with his first wife-

a.     Hubert T East, b 27 Jul 1915 in Wayne Co KY, died at Cincinnati, OH on 5 June 1975. He was married when he died. (OHd,125b, 1182w)

b.     Ray M East, b Aug 1919 at Fountain Creek, Iroquois Co IL. He joined the US Army at Cincinnati, OH on 1 February 1943, and was not married then. (M,1182w)

c.     Ralph L East, b Aug 1919 at Fountain Creek, Iroquois Co IL. He married Irene L _____ and in 2007 they lived at Cincinnati, OH. Irene was born in July 1929. They had two sons. (M,1182w,787P) (W,125uvc,1182w)

        Robert East [E4c6c3a6d6], son of Owen East and Lucy L Galey, was born in Janury 1892 in KY, and died by 1910. (362uv)

        Robert East [E4c6c3a5c4], son of James Perry East and Edmonia _____, was born in July 1894 in MO and grew up at Appleton, St Claire Co.. (166uv)

        Robert A East [E14d1i5], son of Archibald East and Nancy Colter, was born 26 November 1860 in Washington Co IL. In 1900 he was married and living next door to his sister Amanda in Washington Co. Robert's wife was Margaret A Hildebrandt, born in 25 October 1868 in IL. Margaret's father was from Germany and her mother from IL. This was a second marriage for both of them. Margaret's first husband was Thomas Samuel Maxwell, married 30 October 1889 at Elkton, Washington Co; he died 24 June 1890 at Oakdale in Washington Co. Robert's first marriage took place in Randolph Co on 9 November 1882 with Anna Hutchison. (Was she Ann S Hutchison, born in 1863 in IL, daughter of Daniel Hutchison and Nancy _____?) His marriage with Margaret was in 1894. Margaret claimed that she had four children by 1900, and all four were still living. Her son Russell L Maxwell (born in December 1890) from her first marriage lived with them, so the three youngest children with Robert in 1900 make the four children she had.

        Robert and Margaret and all their children moved to central CA in the 1900s, and in 1910 they were found at Modesto. He was a dairy farmer there. When he gave his mother's birthplace, he said Ireland. In 1920 they lived at Santa Cruz, and in 1930 they were back at Modesto. He died at Modesto on 10 March 1945 and Margaret died there on 9 June 1959. All children born after Charles were from Robert's second marriage. He had five, six counting his step-son, and the first five were born in IL-

a.     Charles A East, b 15 Sep 1883, lived at Modesto, CA in 1910 and worked for a creamery, making butter. In 1920, still at Modesto, he was a postal clerk, and in 1930 he was a grocer. He had married Fanny Pearl Blue in 1905. She was a daughter of a Mr Blue and a Ms Johnson (death record info), and was born 2 August 1890 in IN. When their daughter Clara died, her death record said that her mother was a Ms Hilderbrand, and of course her father was a Mr East. This conflicts with the information on Clara's mother's death record. Charles died in San Diego Co on 17 March 1967. Charles and Fanny had two children, both born at Modesto, CA-

        1.     Clarabelle East, b 23 Nov 1906. Her name was Clarabelle on the birth record, but Clara Bell on her death record. She married a Mr Nelson in the 1920s at Modesto, and lived there. Clara died at Modesto on 1 October 1985. (CAbd, 849vw)

        2.     Raymond E G East, b 14 Apr 1908, died at Reedley, Fresno Co CA on 18 September 1999. (Z,849vwf) (CAd,218u, 849vwf)

b.     Russell L East, b Dec 1890, was actually Russell L Maxwell, Robert East's step-son. Russell used the East name after 1900. He was not found after 1910. (218u,849v)

c.     Frederick Oliver East, b 7 Feb 1895 at Tilden, Randolph Co IL. In June 1917 he lived at Santa Cruz, CA and was a dairyman at Boulder Creek. In 1920 he was a fruit farmer near San Lorenzo, Santa Cruz Co. He was not married in June 1917, but he did marry in 1920 to Mrs Elsie I Pike. Elsie was born in CA in 1894. In 1930 Fred and Elsie were living at Modesto near his brother Charles, and was a grocery store clerk (in Charles' store?). Fred died at Los Angeles on 30 December 1956. On his death record, it was stated that his mother was a Ms Hilderbrandt. This is what Fred's niece Clara's death record said for Clara's mother, not grandmother. Fred's sister Minnie's death certificate also had a similar name. By 1930 Fred and Elsie had no children of their own, but she did have two from her first marriage: Iona M Pike, born in September 1916 in CA, and Bobby D Pike, born 1920 in CA (he claimed born in 1921 in the 1930 census). (M,218u,850w,849vf)

d.     Vera East, b 10 Nov 1896, was not married by the end of 1919 and lived with her parents at Santa Cruz, CA. She was the proprietor of an ice cream shop. Vera died 27 March 1928. (W,218u, 849v,850w)

e.     Minnie Irene East, b 16 May 1900, grew up in central CA, and married Herbert Lee Hartman there about 1919. He was born at Boulder Creek, Santa Cruz Co CA on 5 December 1894, son of Janie Hartman from Canada and Mary E Call. Herbert was a grocery store clerk. They at first lived with Minnie's parents at Santa Cruz. Herbert died at San Francisco on 18 August 1951. This marriage ended in divorce after two sons, and Minnie then married James Reilly in the late 1920s. He was born in IL in 1891, and they lived at Cloverdale, Sonoma Co. He was a truck driver for the state highway department. Minnie died in Alameda Co CA on 28 April 1957. Her mother's maiden name was Hillibrandt on her death record. Minnie's two sons were both born at Santa Cruz-

        1.     James H Hartman, b 29 Apr 1920. He enlisted in the US Army at San Francisco on 25 July 1940, intending to be stationed at Panama Canal. He was married at that time. James died at Stockton on 5 September 2003. (M,Z, CAb,80f)

        2.     Robert L Hartman, b 14 Nov 1924, died in Contra Costa Co CA on 27 July 1961. (CAbd, 80f) (M,CAd, 218u, 849v,850w,80f)

f.     James Leonard East, b 8 Sep 1908 at Modesto, Stanislaus Co CA, lived nearby at Ceres in 1930. He married Maria S Peck about 1927 and they lived with her parents.

In 1920, a few doors away from Robert's home at Santa Cruz, there was another East Family. That one was Charles H East, born in NE in 1876 of German parents. His wife was Ila, ____, born in 1886 in PA of PA parents. (W,CAd,526m, 218rsu, 849vf, 850w)

        Robert A East [E4a3a6d4b5], son of Milton MacDougal East and Margaret E Hendrix, was born in February 1881 in Lawrence Co AR. (JA,59u)

        Robert Alexander East [E4a3a6d4m], son of Robert Allen East and Harriet W King, was born 25 March 1867 in Lawrence Co AR. He married Laura W Rainwater in Lawrence Co on 12 November 1891; she was born in AR on 12 November 1872, and died in Lawrence Co on 31 August 1896. Laura's two children then lived with her parents, Francis Marion Rainwater and Nancy M Phillips, into the 1910s. Robert married again, on 14 March 1900, to Saula Foster. She was born in October 1879 in Lawrence Co, and died there in 1958. In the 1920 census, Saula was the head of the household, and Robert wasn't there, although she was shown as married, not divorced. Robert died in Lawrence Co in 1938, and was buried in New Hope Cemetery. He had seven children-

1.     Maggie L East, b 4 Nov 1892, died in Lawrence Co on 19 December 1943. She was not in her mother's home in 1920, so had perhaps married in the 1910s. (L,59uvw)

        Robert C East [E14d1c], son of Henry Tate East and Elizabeth Coulter, was born in 1816 in Robertson Co TN and grew up in Madison Co IL. He married Hanna Furley on 11 November 1840 in Madison Co. Robert took out land claims in the mid- to late-1830s in Madison Co (NWNW 05 04S 05W 3 3428 125 4285 on 18 May 1836; W2NW 28 03S 05W 3 8000 125 10000 on 12 January 1839; E2SE 05 03S 05W 3 7275 125 9094 on 10 July 1839; and W2NW 04 03S 05W 3 7275 125 9093 on 10 July 1839). Since he had title to land in Madison Co in the 1830s, we should have expected to see him there in the 1830 census, and possibly the 1840 census, but he was not. In 1840 they lived in Washington Co, which is two counties to the southeast of Madison Co. Robert, and probably Hannah, died in the late 1840s and his mother took over the responsibility of caring for his orphaned children. Robert and Hannah had three known children, all born in Washington Co IL-

1.     Margaret East, b 1842, married William E Anderson in Washington Co on 30 July 1857. He was born in IL in 1835, and in 1860 they continued to live in Washington Co. Margaret's brother Robert lived with them in 1860. (218nmq)

3.     Robert Coulter East, b Jul 1844, lived with his sister Margaret in 1860. Robert C East was married in nearby Perry Co to Hannah McClerkin on 26 January 1865. In 1880 they lived in Saint Clair Co IL, which is the county just west of Washington Co. Hannah was born at Ballymena, Antrim Co Ireland on 1 January 1848, daughter of Mathew McClerkin and Martha Margaret Craig. There was a second marriage for Robert and Hannah, on 9 January 1877 in Perry Co. Perhaps this was done because they could find no record of their original marriage to satisfy the immigration authorities for Hannah. In 1880 Hannah's brother Alexander McClerkin lived with them; he was born in IL in 1850, which places the date Hannah came to the USA in 1849. In the early 1880s they moved to Franklin, Bourbon Co KS. Hannah died 29 November 1927. In 1910 they lived at Gas Ward, Allen Co KS and two daughters lived with them. Robert and Hannah had four children by 1880, and ten by 1900, with six still living. All were born in KS-

        Robert S East [E14a4d3n], son of Jesse Houze East and Virginia O Burnett, was born in 1925 in Walton Co GA. In 1949 he lived at Covington, Newton Co GA. (N,466f)

        Robert T East [E1b12a2], son of Thomas Jefferson East and Nancy Lou Tulley, was born in November 1870 in TN (he was Robert, age 31 in 1900, born in TN; Robert, age 42 in 1910, born in TN; Bob, age 50 in 1920, born in TX; he always said both his parents were born in TN). In 1900 Robert lived in Hunt Co TX. His sister Estelle East, born in December 1875 in MS, and brother Joe L East, born in August 1880 in MS. lived with him. Robert also had a brother named James J East [E1b12a6], born in MS in 1879, who lived in Hunt Co in 1900. James J lived with the Calvin Abernathy family in 1900 since his mother had recently married Calvin. In 1920 brother Joe and Joe's wife Eunice Abernathy lived next to Calvin Abernathy. In 1910, Robert was a boarder in the Joseph A Kelly home in Clay Co TX, a few counties to the west of Hunt Co, but this same Kelly family was living in Hunt Co in 1920, and Robert lived with them. Mr Kelly's wife Lillie was not a sister of Robert. There is no evidence that Robert ever married. It is obvious that Robert was a son of Thomas Jefferson East and Nancy Lou Tulley, but his birth dates given in 1900 and in 1910 say he was born in 1869 in TN, and there is no evidence for a son of this age in the 1870 and 1880 census. Therefore Robert must have been the "T B East" son in the 1880 census (Thomas Bob East or Tulley Bob East?). (35rs, 85uw,111v)

        Sallie May East [E4c3a3b2d3h], daughter of George Washington East and Ellen Dowell, was born 9 October 1896 in Jasper Co MO. (W,832v)

        Sally East [E4c5a4a], daughter of Joel L East and Rebecca Lofton, was born 6 January 1804 in Laurens Co SC. She was a girl when her parents moved to Caldwell Co KY, and it was there where she married Ira Miles Hewitt on 2 June 1828. Sally died in the Colorado Territory area on 13 August 1835. Since the only White people in the Rocky Mountains in these years were trappers for the eastern markets, perhaps she went with her husband for this purpose. (JY, W,538hm)

        Sally East married Josiah Speight on 28 April 1806 in Accomack Co VA. (M94)

        Sally East married Pleasant Ward on 7 November 1807 in Davidson Co TN. (M12)

        Sally East [E1b7], daughter of Thomas East and Sarah Graves, was born on 2 December 1800 in Henry Co VA. She married Richard T Bolden (Boulden on the marriage record) on 29 November 1817 in Henry Co, and they moved to the northern part of Carroll Co MS prior to 1840, but apparently via AL; the first three children were born in AL. Elizabeth died in MS, possibly at Grenada. See Elizabeth East, Sally's sister. Richard was born in VA in 1794, and was living in Carroll Co MS in 1850. In 1860 there was a Richard T Boulden living with G Boulden (a brother?) in Gonzales Co TX; both men was born in VA, G Boulden in 1805 and Richard in 1794. The younger man had four children born in MS. Richard was a farmer. Sally died 30 September 1879. They had at least four children-

a.     Joseph Graves Bolden, b 26 May 1818

b.     dau Bolden, b 126-1830

c.     Richard Bolden, b 1825

d.     Susan Bolden, b 1829

e.     Henry Bolden, b 1842 (M94,B,EP,NL,JA,RC,9y,28m, 110k,1198q)

        Sally East [E4a2a7e], daughter of Joseph East and Mary Bell, was born in 1810 in Pittsylvania Co VA. She married Daniel Martin in Pittsylvania Co on 9 November 1831. The marriage record shows that Joseph East was her father and Thomas East Jr provided the bond. The marriage records also show that Daniel Martin was born about 1811 in Halifax Co. In 1820 Daniel lived a few doors from Sally. In 1940 they lived two doors from Jackson East and next door to Samuel Worsham (husband of Frances East); Sally's brother Joseph and their parents lived a few doors away in 1840. Daniel Martin was about the same age as Sally. They and their children were not found in Pittsylvania Co in 1850. In 1840 Sally had five children-

1.     son Martin, b 1832 (age 10-14 in 1840). This person may not be Sally's son, but instead may have been hired farm help. (27k)

2.     son Martin, b 1831-1835 (27k)

3.     son Martin, b 1831-1835 (27k)

4.     dau Martin, b 1836-1840 (27k)

5.     son Martin, b 1836-1840 (27k)

Note that Sally's eldest brother was named Thomas East, and their father was Joseph; being a "Jr" does not necessarily mean that Thomas's father was another Thomas East (Sr). Instead, the Jr title used in the 19th Century and before merely meant that there was an elder person living nearby who had the same name. (27imk)

        Sally East [E4c3a6h], daughter of William East and Rachel Talbot, was born 8 April 1814, probably in Blount Co TN since her parents were members of the Quaker Church there since December 1809. In 1830 she was living with her family in Wayne Co IN. She married Ishmael Lee in Cass Co on 12 January 1836 and they lived in Cass Co in Penn Twp. Ishmael from the 1840 census was born betweem 1811 and 1820. In 1850 Ishmael and his wife lived in Jefferson Twp, Cass Co, and he had eight children, but his wife was Marian Baldwin, born in Logan Co OH on 19 April 1817, and died 23 December 1903 in Mitchellville, Polk Co IA. Ishmael was born in Blount Co TN on 23 May 1815, son of Nathan Lee and Hannah Dixon. Sally died on 22 April 1840 in Cass Co and was buried there in Birch Lake Cemetery. Her gravestone gave her death date and her age when she died: "26y 14d." and also says "wf of Ishmael Lee." Ishmael then married Marian about 1841, remained in Cass Co until 1853, then moved his family to Polk Co IA. He died at Mitchellville, Polk Co on 2 April 1879. His three children with Sally were all born in Cass Co MI-

1.     Eliza Ann Lee, b 14 Nov 1836

2.     Hannah Lee, b 3 Jun 1838

3.     Rachel Lee, b 28 Feb 1840

Buried next to Sally at Birch Lake is Sarah Lee, "wf of Hiram." She died 18 March 1844 and was "25y 2m 2d" when she died. This Hiram was Ishmael's brother, and his wife was Sarah Baldwin. Ishmael's sister was Ann Lee who married John East [E4a3a6b] in 1833.

Ishmael and Marian Baldwin had children: Peter H, born 1842; May J, b 1844; Sarah E, born 1846; Ruth I, born 1847; Lydia Lee, born October 1949, and three sons Samuel, born 1852, W W born 1854, and a boy born in 1857 and who died by 1870. (M92,Q,W, 52ij.72mkc,772qr)

        Sally East [E4a2a1], daughter of Thomas East and Obedience _____ of Pittsylvania Co VA, was born in 1772. She married Richard Hazelwood in Campbell Co on or soon after 30 January 1796 when bond for this marriage was posted by the groom and by Sally's brothers Thomas and Ezekiel. These two brothers also signed as witnesses of the marriage. Sally's husband was the signer for the sale of her inherited land to her older brother Thomas on 2 April 1808 in Pittsylvania Co. Because he was the signer and handled her inherited business matters does not indicate that Sally had died. Rather, it was the custom of the times since most people were barely literate, especially women, and the man was considered better with business matters. Written records of their grandson stated that she was born in 1772, died 16 December 1845, and Richard was born 16 June 1774 and died 5 August 1839 in AL.

        There is no VA 1800 census, thanks to the British army for burning the records during the 1812 war, and thanks to the Union Army soldiers in the Civil War who burned the record halls in The South. In the 1810 census, the only Richard Hazlewood family was in Botecourt Co, two counties to the northwest of Campbell Co where they were married. And the ages of the adults matches those birth dates we know of Sally and Richard. This Botecourt Co couple had a boy age 10-14, three boys under age 10, one girl age 10-14, and one girl under age 10, plus the parents who were both between the ages of 26 and 44.

        In 1820 in VA there were two Richard Hazlewood families in the census. One was in James City, and the other was living at Lewiston, Lunenburg Co. Since Richard and Sally were from south central VA and married there, it would be more probable for them to settle close to that area. James City is on the eastern coast of VA, while Lunenburgh Co is two to three counties east of where they grew up and married. From family records written down at least two generations after Sally's children were born, they did show a son born in late 1820, months after the census of that year. But since they were married in early 1796, it would be highly likely that they had many children in the intervening 23½ years. The Richard Hazlewood in James City had many children of age to be the children from a 1796 marriage. The Lunenburg Richard Hazlewood had a similar census record, but that wife was too young to be Sally (she was under age 26). There is a third possibility: This family was missed in the 1820 census; somewhere in the neighborhood of one in twenty were, in these early years.

        Since the son we know of, Joshua Hazlewood, was a married adult in 1830, and since we know that his elder children were born in VA into the 1830s, then it would be logical to assume that his parents Sally and Richard were also in VA in 1830. There were four Richard Hazlewood families in the US then: one in each of Obion Co TN, Davidson Co TN, and Giles Co TN, and there were three in VA. One in Richmond (east coast of VA), and two in James City (east coast of VA). All the Richard Hazlewood couples in TN were much too young to be Sarah East's family. The James City VA couple who were listed on the same census page with two William Hazlewood families (page 3) were close to the right ages (the wife was 10 years too young, but that may have been due to vanity). The family with Richardson Hazlewood in James City were both a generation too young. And the Richard Hazlewood family in Richmond were a generation too young. It is obvious that this couple avoided the census takers whenever they could. It could have been the case that in their declining years, they lived with an unknown married daughter. Of the only children they had whom we are sure of, Joshua, there is just one 1830 census record for a Joshua Hazlewood in VA: he was in Patrick Co VA, two counties west of Pittsylvania Co. This Joshua's age, and his wife's age, match perfectly, but they did not have any elderly parents in their home. In 1840, after Richard had died, there was no Sally / Sarah Hazlewood anywhere on census records. Sally and Richard had at least one child, a son-

a.     Joshua East Hazlewood, b 20 Dec 1800 (M90,W, EP,NL,L,25m)

        Sally Ann East [E4c3b2a6], daughter of Thomas East and Fanny Welty, was born in 1834 in Lincoln Co MO. She married James T Johnson in Lincoln Co on 17 November 1853. James was born in IL in 1822. In 1860 they were living in Bedford Twp, two doors from her sister who married Joseph Hunter. Sally had two children by 1860, both born in the Bedford area of Lincoln Co-

b.     Charles W Johnson, b Oct 1859 (46q) (46knmq)

        Sally Bess East [E1b4b1a5], daughter of Thomas Reuben East and Minnie Dee Stebbins, was born 25 December 1906 at Greenville, TX, and grew up there.

Sally and Stanton lived at Houston until he died there on 18 September 1979. He was buried in Houston's Memorial Oak Cemetery. Soon afterwards, and by coincidence, she was contacted by an old boyfriend of more than 50 years prior; Sally and William Q Warren were married in 1979 at Little Rock, AR and they lived there. Sally died 5 June 1990 at Little Rock. William was born 19 February 1906, and died at Little Rock on 5 October 1989. She and Stanton had one daughter-

        Sara Malissa East [E4c3a3b12e], daughter of Mattison East and Mary Jane Lee, was born in April 1860 in Macon Co TN. See Elizabeth East [E4c3a3b12b], Sara's sister. In 1900 in Sara's parents' home there was a grandson named Samuel P Bohanan, born in TN in February 1884. Either Sara or her sister Elizabeth East would have been the likely mother of the boy. Three doors away from Sara's mother in 1900 was James T Bohanan and his wife Mary E _____. That Mary was born in Oct 1865 and she and John Bohanan had been married for 11 years and had five children; all five were in her home, with births ranging from 1890 to 1899. Hence, she was not Samuel P Bohanan's mother. But she could have been a step-mother. James T Bohanan was born in May 1866 in KY. (MV,4qru)

        Sarah East [E14b], daughter of James East Sr and Ellphan _____ of Henry Co VA and of Oglethorpe Co GA, was born in the 1760s in VA, probably in Louisa Co since her parents lived in that county in the early 1760s. She married Lewis Bradbury on 19 November 1785 in Henry Co VA. They moved to Clarke Co GA, likely about the same time her brother Joseph did. Lewis died in GA in the 1840s.

Mar's Hill Baptist Church is the oldest church in GA, and it was this church that Sarah's brother Joseph and his family attended. It is likely that Sarah and her husband Lewis also attended Mars's Hill Church and were buried in the church graveyard. (M94,GD)

        Sarah East [E4a3a8], daughter of William East and ____ Langston of Charlotte Co VA, was born before 1766. She may have married _____ Hunter by 1785. (JA,3z)

        Sarah East [E4a3a1b], daughter of Josiah East and Rebecca Caldwell of Laurens Co SC, was born about 1768 in VA and grew up in the Laurens Co area in the South Carolina Colony. She married Benjamin Drake about 1786, probably in Laurens Co. In 1800 there was a Benjamin Drake in Laurens Co twenty doors from William East Junr, but this does not appear to be Sarah's husband. Benjamin was born in 1760 and died in Abbeville District in 1817; Sarah later married John Smith by 1820 in Abbeville District. He was born in SC around 1765. In 1810 Benjamin Drake lived next to Blagden East (Langston East?) and her parents. This Ben Drake family had ages that made them, and some of their children, too young to be Sarah and her husband. There was a second Drake family within this group of families: Feby Drake, a much older woman with adults and teens in her home. Sarah and Benjamin had seven children; their names were from a estate records managed by Charles Pitts for Benjamin Drake's estate. These children, with very approximate birth dates, were-

1.     Lucinda Drake, b 1787

2.     Rebecca Drake, b 1789 (JA,W)

3.     John Drake, b 1791 (W)

4.     Josiah Drake, b 1793 (W)

5.     Langston Drake, b 1795 (W)

6.     Rachel Drake, b 1797 (W)

7.     Franklin Drake, b 1799 (W) (W,M92,JA)

        Sarah East [E4c3a10], daughter of William East and Frances Cockerham, was born about 1780 in Stokes Co NC. She married a Mr Fitzpatrick by 1798. There was a Patrick Co VA marriage between Sarey East and Abraham Edds on 29 December 1811. (W,30m,1043p)

        Sarah East [E4c1a2h], daughter of Benjamin East and Nancy Ann Pruitt, was probably born in the 1780s (age 26 - 45 in 1820) in Goochland Co VA. She married Pleasant Ward in Davidson Co TN on 7 November 1807. In 1820 they were living in Williamson Co, the county just south of Davidson Co. By then they had three children-

1.     son Ward, b 1811-1820 (646i)

2.     dau Ward, b 1811-1820 (646i)

3.     son Ward, b 1811-1820 (646i) (JA,646i)

        Sarah East [E4c3a3f], daughter of Isham East and Mary Eades, was born 16 March 1794 in Patrick Co VA, and was named as "Sally East" in her father's 12 December 1830 will, as if she was not yet married. But there was a marriage record of Sarah East with Abraham Edds on 29 December 1811 in Patrick Co. Perhaps her name in the will was actually Edds and because of fading, it was assumed to be Eadds. In Stokes Co VA in 1820 there was an Abraham Eades family, and an Abraham, Edds family in Monroe Co VA in 1820. In Isham East's pension records, a family Bible was produced which had the birth dates of two of Sarah's children. Therefore, she was the Sarah East who married Abraham. The Bible record named the children as a son or daughter "of Abraham and Sary Eads (or Edds?)." Obviously, the birth year of one of the children is incorrect, and may be from faded written records which are now hard to read; son William's birth date was recorded second, so his birth date may be 1815-

1.     Lucinda Eads, b 29 Apr 29, 1813 (76G)

2.     William Eads, b 9 Mar 1813 (76G) (W,30mp)

        Sarah East [E4c5a1f], daughter of Tarlton East Sr and Zilpha Priscilla Walker, was born about 1794 in Laurens Co SC, She moved with her parents to KY then to LA when she was a girl. She married John Lofton in Feliciana (now West Feliciana) Parish LA on 5 February 1810, but in 1820 lived at Richland Creek in Feliciana Parish, in the part which became East Feliciana Parish in 1824. In 1820 they had no children. She may have also married _____ Zachary. There is a gravestone in Friendship Cemetery in Lincoln Co MS which shows that Sallie A Zachary died 12 September 1830 and was born 4 May _____. This grave is among many East graves, including her brother Joel's. See Joel Walker East [E4a3a1a1k]. (MV,404m,104i)

        Sarah "Sally" East [E4c3b2b], daughter of Asa East and Mary ____ of Stokes Co NC, was born in Stokes Co 22 July 1796. She married William James Hiler between 1814 and 1819, probably in Stokes Co NC soon before they moved to KY. After a few years in Simpson Co KY, they moved to Lincoln Co MO via IL, and spent the last years of their lives in Lincoln Co. Their eldest seven children were born in KY, but the 1820 census does not show any Hiler families in Simpson Co where it is known that Sarah's brothers and father lived for a few years. In the 1830 census of Simpson Co there was a James Hiler living a few doors from Asa and Larkin East; he was the only Hiler in Simpson Co. James Hiler's family's ages closely matched the ages of William and Sarah's children. In the 1850 census (page 456) of Lincoln Co MO and the 1860 census, William's name does not show a middle initial or name. But the only conclusion we can draw from this is that William's middle name was James. His son George's birthplace was given as MO, and he was 12 years old in 1850, indicating that the Hiler families moved to Lincoln Co MO around the mid-1830s. But since they were definitely in Simpson Co KY in 1840, then son George gave MO as his birth place since that was the only childhood memory he had; the family must have moved to Lincoln Co MO in the 1840s via IL, after the census was taken in KY. Sally (picture) died 21 November 1867 in Lincoln Co. William (picture) was born about 1797 in VA, and died in the 1860s in Lincoln Co MO. They had about eleven children-

1.     Alec Asa Hiler, b 1819

2.     Henry Hiler, b 26 Oct 1826

3.     Ann Hiler, b 1829

4.     Joseph Hiler, b 5 Sep 1830

5.     son Hiler, b 1831 to 1835

6.     Elizabeth Jane Hiler, b 1833

7.     son Hiler, b 1831 to 1835

8.     George Washington Hiler, b 24 Aug 1838

9.     Martha Hiler, b 1841

10.   Cordelia Hiler, b 1841

11.   Lucinda Hiler, b 1842

Sarah and William Hiler were caught up in two census recordings in 1860. One was as the heads of their own home, and the other was as the parents in son Asa's household. (SC, 76eh,165k,46nq)

        Sarah East [E4a2a2a], daughter of Ezekiel East and Elizabeth Worsham, was born about 1798 in Pittsylvania Co VA. she was named after her aunts Sally East and Sally Worsham, sisters of both her parents. On 4 August 1818 she married William Blackwell L Vaughan in Pittsylvania Co. Her father posted the marriage bond. Sarah and William continued to live in Pittsylvania Co, and they had a son within the next 22 months. William was born about 1785 in VA. Zion Church records of the area dated 2 May 1824 state: "Is there any possible case wherein a man can be justified from the scriptures in whipping or chastising his wife with a whip or rod. Answered in the negative. Brother Wm. B. L. Vaughan being guilty of the crime above mentioned in the quary and he being present, left his seat and went off without asking leave, we therefore appoint brother E. Angel and Henry DeJarnett to see him and labour to show him his err and report to our next meeting." Within the next few years, by 1830, Sarah and William had seven more children. The "brother E. Angel" named above was Ephraim Angel, future father-in-law of Sarah East's father Ezekiel East's second wife Mary Angel.

        William and Sarah lived close to her siblings and other familiar names in the 1840 census; her brothers Ezekiel Jr and Henry were four doors away, and five doors away was sister Obedience (Mrs James King) (all on page 91); on census page 92, in addition to Sarah and William Vaughn, were widow Mary Thurman who Ezekiel Sr would soon marry, some Worsham families, the DeJarnett family who belonged to Sarah's Zion Church, and "Patsey East" (five doors from Mrs Thurman). This Patsey was in her early teens, so must have been Sarah's sister Permelia, and the census taker was told that the teenage girl was the head of the house. There were other younger children in Patsey's home: a girl under age 5, and two boys ages 5 to 9, in addition to an elderly man who was born in the 1770s (Ezekiel Sr). Because of the close proximity of all these relatives, these youngster's in Patsey's home could have been grandchildren, nephews and nieces, or even the children of Mrs Thurman.

        On 9 May 1887 in Pittsylvania County, Sarah testified under oath "Know all men by these presents that I hereby constitute and appoint John W East to be my true and lawful attorney to act for me in the procuring of any pension due me from the United States Government and to receive all letters from any Post Office which may come in my name from the Department at Washington DC and further to do any and all needful things in relation to said pension. Witness my hand and seal this the 2nd day of March 1887." (Signed) Sallie Vaughan.

Pittsylvania County. This day personally appeared before me W. H. Mustain a Justice of the peace for said county Sallie Vaughan whose name is signed to the foregoing power of attorney and acknowledged the same before me in my county aforesaid. Given under my hand this the 2nd day of March 1887. In the clerk Office of the county court of said county on the 9th day of May 1887. The foregoing power of attorney was admitted to record upon the certificate of this acknowledgement thereto annexed. (Grantee Book 90 Page 513) (John W East was her nephew, son of brother Ezekiel East.) And in 1890 in Pittsylvania Co, Sally Vaughan testified in a pension application of Amelia Hagwood, dated 14 July 1890, and stated that she was 94 and was a witness to the Marriage of Mortice Hagwood in 1829 and present at the death of Mortice Hagwood.

        Sarah died in Pittsylvania Co on 23 April 1891. She and William had twelve children-

Living with Sarah and her daughters in 1900 was granddaughter Ruth J Peterson, born in October 1897 in SD. The three daughters living with Sarah then were all single, neither widowed nor married. Hence, young Ruth may have been the daughter of one of two of Sarah's children who had died by 1900, or ruth may have been a daughter of one of William's children from his first marriage about 1847. His prior wife was Catherine _____ from Ireland. In 1860 they lived at Burritt, Winnebago Co IL with their five children. The three eldest of those children were born in Canada or VT by 1852. The youngest two children were born in IL in 1855 and 1858. (MV, KM,141kn, 140qm, 142r,KSr,828s, 149u, 156v,70w)

He was a miller in his earlier years, but was a farmer in 1880. Sarah died in 1883 in Clay Co and her grave is in Liberty Church of Christ Cemetery, just east of Lineville in Randolph Co. (A recently placed gravestone for Sarah incorrectly has her birth and death dates as 1837 and 1895.) After Sarah died, Larry married Laura E Smith on 30 October 1892 in Clay Co; she died in childbirth, along with her child, about 1893 and Larry married wife number three. In 1900 Larry was still in Clay Co, at Poll Bridge; he had married Caroline Thompson on 10 May 1896 in Clay Co. She was born in AL 1 February 1846 in Talladega Co, daughter of Richard Pierce Thompson, and died of Brights disease at Ashland on 7 June 1923. Larry and his second and third wives had no children who survived. He and Sarah had at least eleven children, all born in AL-

        Sarah Mariah "Texana" East [E1b13a], daughter of Edward Wallace East and Willmirth Metilda Greer, was born 31 December 1840 at Washington, TX. She married Seth Millington Blair on 15 November 1855 at Salt Lake City, UT. He was born 13 March 1819 at New London, Rawls Co MO, son of James Blair and Catherine C Jordan. Seth died in on 17 March 1875, probably at Salt Lake City. He was an editor and a lawyer in SLC. This was Seth's fifth marriage, the last four concurrently. Since Seth already had a prior wife with the name Sarah, Sarah East was given the nickname Texana to avoid confusion; also, the second Sarah was the only wife born in TX. In 1880 Texana was a widow (using the name Sarah) living with her daughter and son-in-law James White. Texana died 3 July 1890 at Salt Lake City, and was buried in SLC Cemetery.

In 1910 she lived with her cousin Joseph N East and half-sister Rebecca. Saretta married William Thornton Singleton in Halifax Co on 28 March 1913. He was born 23 September 1889 (age 29 in 1920, 37 in 1930), son of William S Singleton and Bettie _____, and in June 1917 worked in a foundry and lived at Hurt, Pittsylvania Co.

        Shadrack East [E4a3a6], son of William East and _____ Langston of Charlotte Co VA, was born about 1761 in VA, probably in Charlotte Co. He married Mary Hundley in Campbell Co VA on 8 September 1784; she was of age at the time (born by 1763), and the marriage bond was posted by Shadrack East and John Boughton. Shadrack was listed on the 1785 Halifax Co tax list; Halifax Co was where John East and sons John East [E1] and William East [E2] lived during the 1750s-1780s. In 1783, and definitely by 4 April 1788 (Deed Book B, Page 409), Shadrack and Mary had sold his inherited 390 acres and moved to Laurens Co SC, in the north part of the county close to the Enoree River. (His brothers William East Jr and Josiah East also moved to Laurens Co.) According to 1790 census records, Shadrack lived quite a distance from the other East families of the county (see the biography of William East, Shadrack's father), but was just seven doors from William Young, a brother of Nathaniel Young Sr of Spartanburg Co. Shadrack had four children by 1790 (and three slaves), and five children in all. He left a 12 November 1792 will in Laurens Co in which he named his wife Mary (gave to her his "negro wench Milly") and children; Shadrack's brother "William East & James Cook planter" were named as executors of his will; witnesses were Samuel Henderson, William Young of Spartanburg, and Thomas Wadsworth. Shadrack died in 1794 in Laurens Co, and after his death his widow married John Sinclair by 2 June 1814 (Deed Book K, Page 71). John Sinclair died by 3 June 1816, naming his wife Mary as the executor. The children of Shadrack and Mary were-

a.     Allen East, b 1785-1790

b.     Keziah East, b 1785-1790

c.     John East, b 1785-1790

d.     Thomas East, b 1790

e.     Nancy Ann East, b 1792 (M81,JA,JY,25m,3apz)

        Shadrack East of Laurens Co SC, was born in 1804 in SC. He married Margaret Dean, daughter of Isom Dean and Nancy _____. She was born 15 May 1812. Shadrack died sometime after 1850, and Margaret married Thomas Neill on 16 October 1862. She died two days later in Laurens Co and was buried in the Hopewell Methodist Church Cemetery. It did not appear that they had any children. (M92)

        Shadrack Monroe East [E4a3a6d1], son of Thomas East and Mary Monroe of Laurens Co SC, was born in Laurens Co on 20 October 1814. He moved to Giles Co TN with his parents by 1830. About 1833 he married Jane "Jensey" Catherine Warren, daughter of Reuben R Warren of Lauderdale Co AL. Since the pre-1865 marriage records for Giles Co were burned in the Civil War, and since there is no marriage record for Shadrack in neighboring counties which still have marriage records of the 1830s, his marriage to Jensey was probably in Giles Co. She was born in TN on 19 December 1816. In 1840 they were in Giles Co with their two sons and a daughter (census page 92). The only other East families then in Giles Co were Barzley Graves East (Basil East in the census) (page 135), Barzley's father Thomas East [E1b] next door to Barzley, and a younger Thomas East (page 158), Shadrack's father. In the 1840 census, the ages of Shadrack and his wife were in the 20s. In 1850 in Giles Co Shadrack was age 36 and Jane was age 34.

        In 1852 Shadrack moved to Lawrence Co AR, and in 1859 they were living in Webster Co MO with their children (see Barzley Graves East [E1b12]). When the Civil War began in 1861, Shadrack, his parents, and most of the family moved to Arkansas, a Confederate State and joined the Confederate Army. (See Thomas Helms list below). Some opted to stay in Missouri: son Thomas Benton, who joined the Union Army, and two sisters, Nancy Jane and Martha Catherine. After the war, Shadrack moved back to Lawrence Co AR where he ran a river front hotel, bar, and eating establishment. He was cited for selling liquor on the Sabbath. Shadrack contacted Yellow Fever or Malaria and died in Lawrence Co on 19 October 1874. He was buried in Powhatan Cemetery in Lawrence Co. Jensey live first with her daughter, Martha, and when Martha died in 1881, Jensey then moved in with another child. Jensey died 25 April 1903 in Howell Co MO and was buried in Mount Zion Cemetery at South Fork, Howell Co. Daughter Nancy Jane, her husband Thomas Crick, and Jansey, are all buried in Mount Zion cemetery about 3 miles south of "South Fork, MO" on highway E in Howell Co. Thomas Crick could neither read nor write, so Jensey's gravestone says "Jincy wife of S.M. East." By 1870 Shadrack and Jensey had eleven or twelve children-

Sidney married Lavinia Williams on 5 November 1846 in Greene Co. Lavinia was born 3 January 1823 (in Henderson Co TN?), daughter of Abner Williams and Polly Folden. After Lavinia died on 10 April 1849, Sidney married Lavinia's sister Eliza Jane on 7 July 1852, also in Greene Co. Eliza was born in Henderson Co TN on 6 April 1832. Sidney died 6 September 1858 and is buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Greene Co. After he died, Eliza lived next door to her parents in Cass Twp, Greene Co, and some of her children were in her parents' home in 1860.

        Eliza remarried after Sidney died, to Henry Grant on 20 September 1860 in Greene Co, and had more children. (See Elizabeth Jane East [E4c6c3g7].) Most of Eliza's East children were living with other relatives in 1870.

        Sidney J East [E1b12d7], son of John Edwin East and Mary A East [E1b4b4], was born 10 August 1881, probably in DeSoto Co MS where his parents were living the prior summer, or at Savannah, TN where they were in 1883. Sidney died 5 September 1893. (M77, ES)

        Sidney Roy East [E4a3a1a3h3f], son of John William East and Louisa Sims, was born 13 November 1903 in Upshur Co TX, died 25 December 1989 at Diana, Upshur Co. He married Ida Leona Jones on 4 January 1928. She was born 2 March 1903, daughter of David Isaiah Jones and Ida Jeannette Quick, and died at Gilmer, Upshur Co on 10 March 1997. Sidney and Ida were buried together in Mattox Cemetery at Diana. They had a daughter-

        Silas East [E14a4], son of Joseph East and Milly _____, was born in August 1796 in either Clarke Co or in Oglethorpe Co GA (born VA per the 1850 census). Records of Silas first surfaced in 1822 when he paid a poll tax of 31½ cents in Clarke Co. This tax was mandatory for all Free White Males over 20 years of age. Three years prior, in 1819, both his father Joseph and brother Martin East left Clarke County and resettled in Conecuh Co Ala; their last poll tax in GA was in 1818. Additional 1822 records indicate that Lot # 74 - 6th District of Gwinnett Co was drawn by Martin B East in a Land Lottery and the taxes were returned by Martin's father Silas. During this same year, Silas returned taxes for Lot # 164 - 16th District, Dooley Co property. In 1822, Silas was living in Captain Saul District located between McNut Creek and Barber Creek. In the following year, 1823, Silas was recorded as living in Heron's District.

        Silas married Harriet Canty Houze in Clarke Co GA on 3 July 1825 and they lived in Clarke Co near High Shoal. Silas was a wagon maker and a farmer. On 1 May 1838 Silas purchased two pieces of property from Harriet's brother Darius T Houze. The first tract of land contained 125 acres, for which Silas paid $260. The property began at White Oak Corner then continuing to Hickory Corner (NW) and on to the other end of Hickory Corner (SE4) continuing 189 links to Buckeye Corner completing the tract with a direct line to the beginning White Oak Corner. The second tract of land was purchased on the same date above mentioned. This tract of land contained 100 acres, for which Silas paid $200. The property began at Pine Corner running NE to Hickory Corner then SE to Post Oak Corner continuing SE to Red Oak Corner, then NW to the beginning Pine Corner. For both transactions, the attorney mentioned James and Joseph Houze. They were the brothers of Harriet (Houze) East. Harriet was born in Clarke Co GA 4 March 1808, and died 28 February 1846. She was buried in Ray's Church Cemetery at Eastville, Oconee Co, next to her brother Darius Tarpley Houze and his wife, a short distance south of Eastville. Silas died 28 January 1868 in Oconee Co GA and was also buried in East Cemetery. His gravestone is incorrectly spelled as Salias East. Two son, Silas Jr and William, died in the Civil War and Silas Sr collected pensions for both. His eight children were-

a.     son east, b 1826-1830, died by 1840. (454j)

b.     Ann East, b 1826-1830

c.     Frances East, b 1826

d.     Thomas Darius East, b 1834

e.     Silas East, b 1836

f.     Malinda East, b 28 May 1841

g.     William East, b 28 May 1841

h.     Sarah Elizabeth East, b 20 Feb 1844

A Miss "Bechey East," age 17 and born in GA, was living with Silas and his daughter Malinda in Clarke Co in 1860; no girl of this name was shown in his household in 1850, but must have been Silas' youngest daughter Sarah Elizabeth. (W,JE,GD,454mknq)

        Silas East Jr [E14a4e], son of Silas East and Harriet Canty Houze, was born in 1836 in Clarke Co GA. In 1860 he was an "apprentice" living with Mary Dawson and Mary's daughter Sarah at Watkinsville, Clarke Co, although neither woman had a profession which he would be an apprentice of. Silas enlisted in the Civil War in Clarke Co for the Confederate cause, on 20 August 1861; he was in Company L, 3rd Infantry Regiment of GA. He died of a disease on 25 July 1862 at Camp Ben Hill, VA and was buried in Confederate (Hollywood) Cemetery, in the Drewry's Bluff section, at Richmond, Henryco Co VA. Silas Jr's father collected a pension for Silas Jr. (W,M,JE, GD, 454knq)

        Silas East [E14d1f2], son of David East and Nancy Minerva Paul, was born 18 February 1844 in Washington Co IL, and died 17 March 1863 at Nashville, Washington Co. He had spent time in Jefferson Barracks with dysentery and died after being discharge. Silas He was buried in Old Salem Cemetery at Lively Grove, as was his father. Silas was in the Civil War as a Private in Company H, 5th Illinois Cavalry. He enlisted on 17 Sepber 1861, and received a disability discharge on 19 February 1863. His gravestone in Old Salem Cemetery has the same information as his father's stone: "Silas East, Co. H, 5th Ill. Cav." (W,M, 218nc,565q,218c)

        Silas M East [E19a2c], son of Zealous Ray East and Mahuldah Armour, was born 25 August 1838 in Randolph Co AL, and died 28 April 1867, probably in Randolph Co. He was buried at High Pine Baptist Church Cemetery about 5 miles southwest of Roanoke. Silas served from 1861 to 1865 as a Private in Company I of the Confederate Army. (W, 47knqc)

        Sina A East [E4c3a3b12a], daughter of Mattison East and Mary Jane Lee, was born 18 February 1849 in Macon Co TN. She was called Sina by most researchers, and Lucinda by source MV. This eldest child was Sina East in 1850 in Macon Co TN, age 1 (her father was then called Madison East); her name was not Lina since a few lines later there was a Louisa Scott, and that person's first letter in her name was quite different than Sina's first name letter. In 1860, still in Macon Co, she was S A East, age 11 (her father was then called M East). As a comparison for how the 1860 census taker wrote the Capital letter S and L, on either side of Mattison East's family there was a male with the name Swindle; that person's name cannot be Lwindle, so Sina's first name must start with the letter S. In 1870 in Macon Co, this eldest daughter's name was Sine East, age 21 (her father was then called Matterson East). As a comparison for the first letter S, there was a nearby Smith family, and a child next door named Sarah F Horn. So the first letter of Sina East's first name is confirmed to be an S.

        From family records of Sina's descendants, she married Asa Walter Roark in Macon Co on 21 December 1873. Asa was born in Macon Co on 19 April 1839, son of Simeon Roark and Alsey Poe, and died 29 March 1907 in Macon Co. This was Asa's second marriage; the first was with Charity Matilda Doss in Allen Co KY on 20 August 1861. Charity died 18 February 1871 after five children. Sina and Asa lived next door to her father and step-mother in Macon Co in 1900, and her father's brother Patterson East lived next door in 1880. Asa was a Private in Company A, 9th Kentucky Infantry in the Civil War from 25 September 1861 to 15 May 1863, from Macon Co TN. He lived in Macon Co in 1890. Sina died 2 February 1934 in Macon Co. In 1930 she lived next door to her grandson Elmer Roark, son of Josiah. Sina and Asa W had seven children, six still living in 1910-

1.     Permelia Ellen Roark, b 29 Sep 1874

2.     Reley E Roark (dau), b 2 July 1876

3.     Josiah S Roark, b 23 Jun 1878

4.     Matilda Susan Roark, b 10 Jun 1880

6.     Henry P Roark, b 23 Aug 1886

7.     Martha C Roark, b 28 Nov 1888

The eldest child of Asa W Roark's first marriage was James Asa Roark who had a son King Douglass Roark who married Lola Alma East [E4c3a3b12g2], Sina East's sister. Robert Amour had a daughter Louise E Amour from his first marriage. Louise was born in 1899 in TN. (158w) (MV,M,4nqrsuvwf)

        Sixtus East [E1b13k4], son of Thomas Nathaniel East and Ada Johnson, was born and died on 14 August 1895 at Pima, AZ. He was buried in Pima Cemetery. There are 16 graves with East names in this cemetery. (NL, EP,311c)

        Solomon Maxwell East [E14d1b3], son of Andrew M East and Jemina Maxwell, was born 13 March 1840 in Washington Co IL. When his parents died in 1852, Solomon took on the responsibilities of providing for his siblings, and he was only age 12. At first Solomon went to work for the neighbors as a farm hand in trade for the support of his younger siblings. In 1856 he moved to Grancote Prairie in Randolph Co and was employed by his uncle Jimmie Coulter at $5 per month; for the next five years he lived with the Coulter family (he was not listed with the Coulter family in the 1860 census).

        In 1870 Solomon was living in Randolph Co IL with his wife Sarah Jemina Miller. They married in Randolph Co 29 August 1861. Sarah was born in IL 4 April 1844, daughter of John G Miller and Elizabeth Baird, and died at Coulterville, Randolph Co on 23 February 1923. In 1870 Solomon was a farmer, but in 1880 he was a druggist at Coulterville. After Sarah died, Solomon spent much of his time in St Louis, playing the stock market. Solomon died there on 16 October 1928. They had two children in 1870, and five by 1880, all born in Randolph Co IL-

a.     Elmer W East, b 25 Aug 1862

b.     Mary Ward East, b 17 Jul 1865

c.     Andrew Norman East, b 24 Apr 1868

d.     John Leonard East, b 3 Jan 1871

e.     Emma Lora East, b 18 Aug 1873

f.     James G Blain East, b 18 Nov 1878

Living nearby in 1870 was James Coulter, born in SC in 1795; Solomon's grandmother was Elizabeth Coulter from SC. (218kn,526rsd)

        Sophia Elvira East [E14a1e], daughter of William East and Rachel Castleberry, was born in 1818 (age 32 in 1850, 35 in 1860) in Hempstead, AR. She was married to Levi Nathaniel Nations in Hempstead Co on 9 June 1836 by Absolom Madding, JP. In 1840 they must have lived in Hempstead Co with a brother or sister since they were not found in either Sophia's father's home, nor in Levi's father's home, nor in their own home. These two parents' homes were two doors apart. In 1850 they lived at Union, Lafayette Co AR. Levi was born in 1812 in TN, son of Nathaniel Nations and Elizabeth Brown, and died on 4 September 1879 at Shangaloo, LA. He was buried in Old Shongaloo Cemetery. Sophia died in 1861 in Columbia Co AR, and afterwards Levi married Mrs Sarah (Dees) Tillary on 1 May 1862 in Columbia Co. Sophia was buried in Jerusalem Cemetery at Brister, Columbia Co AR. Sarah Dees was born in 1823 and died in 1896. She was buried in Old Shongaloo Cemetery in Webster Par. Sophia and Levi had nine children-

1.     Mary E Nations, b 1837

2.     Lucretia Nations, b 6 May 1839

3.     Sarah Ann Nations, b 1840

4.     William East Nations, b 1845

5.     Joseph Nations, b 1846

6.     Nancy L Nations, b 1848

7.     Willis C Nations, b 1850

8.     Martha Ann Nations, b 27 Nov 1854

9.     Levi Simon Nations, b 4 Apr 1858

Mrs Sarah Tillary had seven children bewtween 1842 and 1857 from her 1840 marriage to Albert Tillary in Butler Co AL. (M,MV,W, M92,307n,445qc,473c)

        Sophrona Cynthia East [E19c9], daughter of Jesse East and Micky East, was born in 1848 in Randolph Co or Talladega Co AL (age 2 in 1850 AL, 12 in 1860 AL, age 28 in 1870 AL, 30 in 1880 GA). She was still single and living with her parents in Jackson Co AL in 1870, and married Calvin H Hunter on 8 July 1877 in Jackson Co AL. He was a brother of Sarah Jane Hunter who was probably the wife of Sophrona's brother Thomas H East. The marriage bond was provided by John Butler. Calvin was born in June 1838 in Carroll Co GA, and in 1860 lived in Campbell Co GA. (The northwestern portion of the western half of Campbell Co became Douglas Co in October 1870, and the remainder of Campbell Co became Fulton Co in 1931.) Calvin was a son of Calvin Hunter and Jane _____; in the Hunter home in 1860 was 14 year old Sarah Hunter, 21 year old Calvin Hunter (Jr), two other siblings, and the parents. Calvin Jr's sister Sarah's age matched the birth date of Sarah, wife of Thomas H East, Sophrona's brother. And we know that Calvin Hunter had married Saphrona East from family records of her descendants. Hence, it would be likely that Sophrona's brother Thomas married Calvin's sister.

        Calvin Jr's family lived in Coweta Co GA in 1850; this was the county just south of Campbell Co. His sister in 1850 was Sarah J Hunter, age 7. Calvin Sr, in 1850, was insane, so it was probably his wife Jane and Calvin Jr, the eldest child, who kept the family together during his illness. In 1840 this Hunter family lived in Carroll Co. which was the county just west of Campbell Co. There was a son under age 5 in their home then, the only child. Therefore, it is likely that Calvin Jr was born in Carroll Co GA, and not in TN as reported in the 1860 census; other census records for him all show his birth place as GA, and his parents were born in TN. In 1880 Calvin Jr and Sophrona lived in Madison Co AL (his parents in 1880 lived in Marshall Co AL, the county just south of Madison Co). In Calvin Jr's home in 1880 were five children none of whom could have been Calvin's from his marriage with Saprhona: Lora Hunter, 10; Ori Hunter, 8; Herod Hunter, 6; Ida East, 13; and Ella East, 7. The three Hunter children were born in GA and were called Calvin's daughters and son, indicating that he was married to someone prior to his marriage with Sophrona. Ida East was born in OH, and Ella East in AL. These two East girls were shown to be relatives "D in law" but were children of Soprona's brother Thomas H East. Calvin died in Madison Co on 16 August 1916. Sophrona probably died in the early 1880s in Madison Co because Calvin married Mary Ann Youngblood on 23 April 1882. In 1910 Calvin and Mary lived at Vienna, Madison Co. She was born at Berkshire, Gwinnett Co GA in October 1847. In 1900, living next door to Calvin and Mary was Harod Hunter, born in November 1873, and his wife and son. There was no indication that Calvin and Sophrona had any children. (LN,ALd, 274n, 722q,271q, 48suv)

        Sophronia S East [E19a10], daughter of Stephen East and Lucretia Thomas, was born 30 March 1831 in AL (AL in 1860 & 1880, GA in 1850 & 1870 census). She married Gideon Bell "Gid" Moncus on 16 January 1850 at Talladega Co AL, lived there for about 20 years, and moved to TX in the 1870s after Gideon was killed. Gideon Moncus (spelled Mouncus in 1860, but afterwards usually spelled as Moncus or Munkus) died between 1868 and 1870. He was born in Layette Co GA in 1823, son of Benjamin Moncus. Gideon enlisted for the Civil War from Talladega Co on 6 September 1861 and listed his age at that time as 38. A muster roll of the same date at Camp Johnston lists him as Gideon Bell Mouncus, Private. Private Moncus served with Company I, 15th Alabama Infantry Regiment. From George Ryan Munkus: Relatives in Randolph Co AL said that at least one of the original brothers – Gideon Bell "Gid" Moncus went west with a herd of horses. His family settled somewhere in the southwest, believed to be Tucumcari, NM.

        From May Moncus Jones: Gideon was chopping wood in his yard when he was shot by some snipers. At this time Cinderella was an infant, so the shooting occurred probably between 1868-1870. Sophronia was a widow in the 1870 census in Clay Co AL. His son Benjamin went by train to Texas when he was about 17. Sophronia followed next with her family by wagon, and was found living in Bell Co with her three youngest children in 1880. A little later, Gideon's oldest son William followed with his wife and three small children. After 1880, there were no Moncus names found in Bell Co, but sons Benjamin and William were in Foard Co, while Gideon was in Falls Co in 1900. Sophronia died 19 June 1881 and was buried in Gatesville City Cemetery in Coryell Co (the county next door to Bell Co). Her daughter Cinderella was buried next to Sophronia. Gideon and Sophronia had six children, all born in AL-

a.     William Martin Moncus, b 26 Jan 1851

b.     Ann Elizabeth Moncus, b 1854

c.     Sarah F Moncus, b 1857

d.     Benjamin Agar Moncus, b Jan 1860

e.     Gideon Bell Moncus, b 25 Dec 1861

f.     Cinderella Moncus, b 2 Jan 1868

A few doors away from Gideon and Sophronia in 1850 was Jesse East and his family. Jesse was born in SC in 1799, was married to Mecca _____, and they had at least ten children, the first five born in GA and the last five in AL. (OD,W,L,243mnq,257r,244s,195c)

        Southy East was named on a 1787 personal property tax list of Accomack Co VA in 1787. He had two males above age 16 and under 21 with him, two horses, and six head of cattle. See Levern East. (M16)

        Stansberry East [E4c5a7d], son of Elisha Lot East and Ann _____, was born in 1839 in Carroll Co MS. (M92)

        Stella East [E19a8e5], daughter of Stephen Bernard East and Mary Tullula Whitlow, was born 22 January 1887 in Tallapoosa Co AL, died 3 July 1890 and is buried in Lebanon Cemetery in Tallapoosa Co. (CS,258v)

        Stella Luana East [E4c3a6c1f], daughter of Edom East and Mrs Sarah J Swinehart, was born in September 1875 at Porter, Cass Co MI. She married James H Smith in 1899 and in 1900 they lived at Concord, Elkhart Co IN. James was born in MI in November 1871 of PA born parents. In 1910 they lived at Chicago and James was a building inspector. They had no children by then. (72s,970u,542v)

        Stephen East [E19a], born in VA in 1780, was probably the eldest son of Benjamin East. Benjamin was the eldest East male in Randolph Co AL in 1840 and was born in the 1760s. All other men with the East name then were of an age to be brothers of Stephen, so it is assumed that Benjamin was the father. Stephen's first wife was a Cherokee woman named Desa _____. Stephen, and his father, were traders with the Indians and spoke the Cherokee language; Stephen's mother was full blooded Cherokee, and Stephen's second wife was also a Cherokee. Desa was born 5 October 1784 (per family bible records). She apparently died after a daughter was born, and Stephen then married Theresa Ray, probably in VA, but they lived first in Spartanburg Co SC, then definitely lived in Jackson Co GA in 1820. There are no court records of Stephen in Spartanburg Co during the 1785 to 1799 years, but there are records mentioning Alexander, Andrew, and Elizabeth Ray in those years. Theresa Ray East was also full blood Cherokee Indian. He traveled with the Cherokee and, prior to the government removal of most of the tribe to Indian Territory, he sat in their councils. Prior to 1900, and especially prior to the 1840s, the US Government was very hostile to the American Indians, depriving them of the same rights which the White government rebelled against England to obtain. Hence, the government was often "relocating" the Indians in order to take title to their land. Stephen and his wives and children were caught up in this, and had their land taken from them, and they avoided census takers as a means of hiding from the government (and therefore genealogists a century and a half later).

        The 1810 census of Spartanburg Co SC shows Stephen being age 26 to 44 (born 1766 to 1784), his wife was in the same age grouping, and they had three sons under the age of 10 and two daughters under the age of 10. This fits perfectly with the children we know of. Theresa Ray was a daughter of Chief Solomon Ray and Mary A Wilkerson. Stephen and Theresa had about seven children. Family tradition and records from some of the grandchildren state that Stephen and his wife Theresa were both at least half Cherokee. Stephen followed his wife's people from SC to the Cherokee territory of GA about 1913, either pressured by encroaching White settlers, or as a means of being where he could engage in trade between the Whites and the Indians (Stephen spoke both English and Cherokee). The area where they settled in GA was at first Jackson Co (former Cherokee territory), then Hall Co in 1818. Theresa died in SC soon before Stephen and his children moved to GA, or more likely after they arrived in Jackson Co GA. She was "buried by a large river."

        Stephen married Lucretia "Creesy" Thomas on 4 December 1820 in Jackson Co. Lucretia was born in SC in 1790. Prior to the Cherokee's forced removal to OK in 1838 (the Trail Of Tears), Stephen, like many of the Cherokee, bowed to the pressure from the governments. In May 1832, his land in Hall Co (12th district, lot 66) was seized by sheriff Abraham Chastain, and on 29 June it was sold for $10 to William V Barney. Stephen, Creesy, and their younger children, moved to Troup Co GA and then to the Huntsville area of AL. His daughter Dicie never saw them again. In 1840 Stephen and his family were living in Chambers Co AL, which is across the state line from Troup Co GA, and is the county just south of Randolph Co AL; in his home then was Stephen, a wife age 40s, and an elder teenage boy, probably James. In 1850 Stephen and Lucretia were living in Randolph Co, as were some of his children. This part of AL is on the east center of the state, and Georgia is across the county line to the east. Stephen had about ten children with three wives; those children born before 1813 were born in SC, and those born afterwards were born in GA-

        Stella East [E4c6c3a6h4], daughter of Daniel B East and Elizabeth _____, was born in September 1899 at Buckeye, Garrard Co KY. She married Willie Long and at first lived with her parents. Willie was born in KY in 1896. They had two or more children, both born in Garrard Co KY-

a.     Allene Long, b 9 Nov 1919, married a Mr Prewitt and had five children born in Madison Co and in Garrard Co between 1936 and 1954. (359bwf,362b)

b.     William G Long, b 2 Nov 1931 (359b) (359buvwf)

        Stephen East [E4c6c5g], son of James East and Lucy English, was born in 1799 in Garrard Co KY. He was found in Wilmington Twp, Dearborn Co IN in 1850 with his family. Dearborn Co is four counties to the east of Lawrence Co. Stephen married first to an unknown wife, had a son, then was married to Jane Spear in Ripley Co IN on 18 January 1828. She was born in PA about 1790 (born 1797 per 1860 census). There are no census records for Stephen East in IN in 1830 and 1840, yet he must have lived there since his children were born in IN. An early history of Dearborn Co Indiana states (on page 511) that Stephen East first moved to Caesar Creek Twp in the 1820s. In 1820 this township was nearly at the southwestern corner of Dearborn Co, and had Ripley Co at its western border; in 1845 when Ohio Co was formed from the southern end of Dearborn Co, then Caesar Creek became the most southern township. Stephen was not found in the 1830 and 1840 census records. Ripley Co in 1830, where they were married, had two East families: James and Isaac. James was far too old to be Stephen; and Isaac East, though, was the right age and he had two daughters under age five in 1830. In 1840, this Isaac was still in Ripley Co, but he had no sons, yet we know that Stephen did have three sons who would have been in the 1840 census. So Isaac also was not this Stephen. Isaac, actually, was Stephen's brother.

        Stephen was still living in 1880 in Lawrence Co IN, with his son James, and died in 1883; Jane had died in the 1860s in Lawrence Co. Stephen had six children by 1850, all probably born in Ripley Co or Lawrence Co-

        2.     Randall W Lovell, b 25 Jun 1924 in Lee Co KY. (1027b, 1013f)

        3.     Margaret R Lovell, b Jan 1930 at Bloomington, Butler Co KS. (1013f) (M,125uv,1029v, 1013f) (W,M125subw)

        Susan S East [E4c6c5k2b], daughter of Isaac East and Caroline Batman, was born 8 February 1863 at Cape Sandy in Crawford Co IN, died 19 May 1891 and was buried in East Cemetery at Cape Sandy. Her gravestone says "Daughter of Isaac & Catherine East." See Lydia Ellen East, Susan's youngest sister. (W,625rsc)

        Susanna East [E4c6c3g5], daughter of John Jehu East and Sarah Hawkins of Greene Co MO, was born about 1828 in Lawrence Co IN and moved to MO when she was still a girl. She married Edmond Terrell in Greene Co on 24 November 1852. There was a Terrill couple, Susan and Oliver T, living in Shelbyville, Shelby Co MO in 1880. Susan was born in IN about 1827 of parents born in KY; Oliver was born in KY in 1824 of parents from VA. Their son Eugene was born about 1857 in MO. Oliver was a county court justice. (JG,MF, 41mn)

        Susanna East [E4c6c5j5], daughter of Joseph East and Olive Neff, was born in 1843 in LaSalle Co IL and died by 1850 in La Salle Co. (W)

        Susanna Withers East [E1f6], daughter of William East and Sarah Webb, was born about 1813 in Madison Co AL. She was born blind; in 1850 she was single, living with her nephew Obadiah Gravett [E1f3a], son of Susanna's sister Elizabeth H East. Susan died 16 February 1877 and was buried in the Old Madison Cemetery. On her gravestone it says "Died Feb. 16, 1877 aged 63 years. She was born blind, but now she sees." (M92,JF,48npc)

        Susannah East [E4c3a13], daughter of William East and Frances Cockerham, was born about 1791 in Bedford Co VA. She married Valentine Branson on 7 May 1807 in Patrick Co VA. They were not found on any federal census in 1820. Valentine was the youngest (known) child of Jarred Branson and his wife Sarah _____, and was born in 1785 at Burks Fork, Carroll Co VA. He and his parents and brothers Jarred Jr, John, and Thomas moved to Gasconade Co MO, and Valentine died in Gasconade Co in 1876. Susannah must have died as a young adult because Valentine had married Sarah Smith in 1831 in Gasconade Co. She was born in 1810 in TN. Susannah had at least six children and Sarah had perhaps eight. In 1860 Sarah was a widow living in Gentry Co MO with five of her children. The youngest five children were born in MO-

a.     Jarred Branson, born in the 1810s, lived a few doors from Valentine and Susannah in Gasconade Co MO in 1830, and is therefore assumed to be an elder child of Valentine. The remaining Branson families in Gasconade Co in 1830 were on census pages 158 and 159 (as were many Shockley and Cox families); Jarred (1810s) and Valentine were on census pages 163 and 164. Living with Jarred then was his wife who was a few years older, and apparently her parents, who were in their 60s in 1830. Jarred had no children then. He was not living in Gasconade Co in 1840. (1042j)

b.     dau Branson, b 1811-1815 (1042j)

c.     dau Branson, b 1811-1815 (1042j)

d.     son Branson, b 1821-1825 (1042j)

e.     dau Branson, b 1821-1825 (1042j)

f.     Irene Branson, b 3 Jan 1823 in TN. See her biography.

Children of Valentine and Sarah were: Isaac Branson, born 23 Jan 1835 in MO, and married Eliza Emeline Perry on 14 March 1855; Andrew Branson, born 1838; Jemima Branson, born 1840; Julia Ann Branson, born 1842; David Branson, born 1844; Joseph Branson, born 1846; Hiram Branson, born 1847; and Elijah Branson, born 1849.

NOTE: There were three Valentine Branson men in pre-1850 MO, all living in the same area of MO. The younger one, born in 1810 in VA, was a son of Andrew Branson, brother-in-law of Susannah East. Andrew's son Valentine may have married Celia Beck in Gasconade Co on 1 April 1832, and definitely married to Altha M Sherill on 22 January 1835. He died after 1870 and had thirteen children. There was another Valentine Branson, born about 1804 in TN, and died in August 1859 in Gasconade Co; this one was probably the one who married Celia Black. He was not found in 1840 nor in 1850, so may have used a middle name. The eldest Valentine was Susannah's husband. (W,RS, 1043p,30m,1042m,1048q)

        Susannah East [E1b8], daughter of Thomas East and Sarah Graves, was born 7 May 1802 in Henry Co VA. She married A M Trent on 25 January 1827, probably in Giles Co TN, and lived in Giles Co. Mr Trent was born in VA in 1804, and appears to have moved to Giles Co between 1830 and 1832, then to Weakley Co after Susannah died. Roberson Fork Church records of June 1832 says that it "received for baptism the following VIZ Miss East and Mrs Trent" in June 1832, thus indicating that Susan not only was a church member on that day, but also lived in or near the northeast corner of Giles Co close to another East relative, probably her sister. She died on 18 August 1834 in Giles Co. There were no Trent families in the county in 1830, but there was an R T Trent family in Weakley Co in 1840, perhaps Susan's brother-in-law. A M moved to Dresden in Weakley Co where he was a grocer. He was on the county tax list in District 7 in 1850. Susan had at least three children, but her father left nothing to her heirs when he died in 1844. Susan's known children, named in a court deposition in Savannah in October 1878, were-

a.     John Trent, b 1826

b.     Sarah Jane Trent, b 1827-1834

c.     Martha M Trent, b 6 Jul 1829

After Susan died, her husband married Nancy _____ (Mrs Nancy House?) about 1840, and they lived in Weakley Co TN. She was born in NC in 1809. In 1850 in their home was Susanna's son John (shown last), plus children ranging in age from 9 to 2. Their close neighbor in 1850 was the J House family (born NC in 1808). In 1860 in their home was 12 year old Lucy House, perhaps Nancy's close relative. After A M Trent died by 1880, she lived with her son Henry in Weakley Co. Her three children from the marriage with A M Trent were: William, born 1841; Henry, born 1844; and Nancy, born 1848. (B,EP,NL, EE,JA, RC,18knqst, C,15j)

        Susannah East [E4c3a6f], daughter of William East and Rachel Talbot, was born 6 March 1809 in TN, probably in Blount Co. In the 1880 census, three of her children living with her husband said their mother was born in TN. If she was born in NC as her older siblings were, it was at or near Westfield, NC since her parents were members of the Quaker Church in those years. In any case, Susannah lived in Blount Co when she was a child. In 1830 Susannah was living with her parents in Wayne Co IN. She married Felix Grundy Girton in Cass Co MI on 23 February 1834 (or 1835?). He was born 25 August 1807 (or 29 March 1808?) in KY, son of Jeremiah Girton and Jane Moore. Between 1837 and 1838 Felix and Susannah moved from Cass Co MI to Wayne Co IN where they lived for a few years. Land records show that he bought 92.5 acres and 40 acres in Cass Co from the US Government on 1 May 1839, so it is not known why he settled in Wayne Co IN about that time. Their children were born in both IN and MI, indicating that they moved back and forth. Susannah died 6 April 1848 in Wayne Co (daughter Susanna was born in 1848 in Wayne Co IN), probably from complications from the birth of her daughter. After Susannah died, Felix moved on to Van Buren, Grant Co IA with most of his children (1860 census spelled his name as Phenix Girton). He died in Marion Co IA on 29 April 1883. In 1880, he was both paralyzed and was a farmer, so apparently he suffered a partially disabling stroke in the 1870s, but it didn't immobilize him since he was still farming. Felix reported in 1880 that his father was born in MD and his mother in KY. He and Susannah had eight children-

1.     Mary Jane Girton, b 30 Aug 1836

2.     Rachel Girton, b 15 Apr 1839

3.     William H Girton, b 12 Aug 1840

4.     Martha Ann Girton, b 28 Sep 1841

5.     Emily Girton, b 21 Nov 1842

6.     Felix Allen Girton, b 25 Oct 1844

7.     Amasa Girton, b Feb 1846

8.      Susannah Girton, b 1848

Early KY marriage records show an 1808 Patty Girton - James Glazebrook marriage in Casey Co; there was an 1818 John Girten - Ann Barron marriage in Union Co; and there was an 1819 Amy Girten - Jesse Perkins marriage in Whitley Co. There were two Girton households in Wayne Co IN in 1840: Felix and his brother Elijah; In Elijah's home were his two parents, Jane and Jeremiah. Jeremiah died in Wayne Co in 1845, and son Elijah died there in 1840, after the census was taken. Jane was living in Wayne Co in 1850 with son Levi and Levi's wife Caroline. (M92,Q,JE, 52ijkn,72mz,959q)

        Susannah East [E4c3a6c4], daughter of Joel East and Sarah Bulla, was born at Richmond, Wayne Co IN on 10 October 1829. She married Benjamin Osborn on 4 February 1849 in Cass Co. He was born 21 November 1825 in Perry Twp, Wayne Co IN, son of Charles Osborn and Hannah Swain, and died 15 September 1849 in Wayne Co. Four and a half months later his only child was born. In the meanwhile, Ben's nephew Jefferson Osborn had married Frances Tharp, and they had two children before she died on 31 August 1852 in Cass Co. Susannah East then married Jefferson on 9 January 1853, lived in Cass Co, and raised all their children together. Jefferson was born 2 January 1824 in Wayne Co IN, son of Josiah Osborn and Mary Barnard. Jeff's father Josiah Barnard was the second of sixteen children, and Susannah's first huand Ben was the fourteenth child.

        Since Ben and Susannah had a daughter born in February 1850, and Jeff and his first wife had a daughter born in January 1850, both these girls were raised as twins after Jeff and Susannah married. In 1850, Susannah and her daughter was living with her parents in Cass Co MI. In 1850, Jefferson and his first wife Frances Tharp lived next door to Susannah's brother Edom in Cass Co. Jeff died in Cass Co on 4 April 1901. Susannah had three children-

a.     Cynthia A Osborn, b 29 Jan 1850

b.     Mary Frances Osborn, b 8 Dec 1853

c.     Frank Russell Osborn, b 7 Sep 1858

The two children from Jeff's marriage with Frances Tharp were: Leroy W Osborn, born Cass Co MI on 15 June 1848, and Clara Elizabeth Osborn, born 21 Jan 1850 in Cass Co (age 7/12 on 9 Aug 1850). Since Cynthia, Susannah East's daughter, and Clara, Frances Tharp's daughter, were born just a few days apart and were raised together, they grew up as twins.

Jefferson Osborn's son Leroy lived in Cass Co and married Lydia E Chess there on 2 November 1876. She died 14 April 1894 in Cass Co but had three sons: Don Findley Osborn, born 1878; Lewis Jefferson Osborn, born in March 1880; and Robert C Osborn, born September 1885. Clara lived with her father and step-mother / aunt Susannah in 1880 in Cass Co; Susannah was the only mother she knew. Clara died in May 1888 at Jacksonville, FL. (M92,W,52j,72knq)

        Susannah East [E14d1f4], daughter of David East and Nancy Minerva Paul, was born 20 February 1849 in Washington Co IL. She was not in her father's home in 1870, and had married Christopher Kingston about 1866. He was born 14 June 1843 in IL, served in the Civil War, and died 24 December 1924. Susannah died 5 June 1879, probably in Washington Co where they lived in 1870. Both were buried in Old Salem Cemetery in Washington Co. They had seven children, all born in Washington Co IL-

a.     William M Kingston, b 26 Oct 1867, died 5 September 1872 and was buried in Old Salem Cemetery at Lively Grove. (218rc)

        Susannah Josephine East [E4c3b3e6], daughter of John Haywood East and Mary Ann Storm, was born 30 September 1846 in Linn Co IA, and grew up there. She married John Welsh McAdon on 6 January 1867 in Harrison Co. He was born in Canada on 2 September 1843, son of Irish parents. He and Susannah lived in Harrison Co, but moved to Beaumont, TX by about 1900. John died 20 January 1919 at Nome, Jefferson Co TX. Susannah died 20 December 1914.

        Susannah M East [E4c6c3p], daughter of Cornelius East and Mary Hannah, was born in 1820 in Lincoln Co KY. She married George W Eubanks in Lincoln Co KY on 8 February 1836. Susannah's mother Mary provided consent, thus suggesting that Susannah must have been born between 1816 and 1820; the 1850 census showed that she was born in 1820, so was about 16 when she married. Robert King provided the marriage bond. In 1850 George and Susannah lived in Russell Co, two counties southwest of Lincoln Co. He was born in KY in 1817. They had no children in their home in 1840 nor in 1850. In 1840 they lived in Lincoln Co, but there were no familiar East families nearby. (M52,1241mk,999n)

        Sylvador East [E4c3a6g10], son of Jacob Talbot East and Emeline Odell, was born 19 February 1850 in Cass Co MI, probably near the town of Porter. He died 24 January 1946 at Kalamazoo. (M92,K,72qr)

        Synthia E East [E4a3a6d11a], daughter of Don S F East and Matilda Amack, was born in 1862 in MO. (JA)

        T B East [E1b12a2], son of Thomas Jefferson East and Nancy Lou Tulley, was born in November 1870 in TN. See Robert T East [E1b12a2].

        T L East, parents unknown, was age 28, born in LA, who was living near Jackson in 1860 with his wife A M _____, age 24, and also born in LA. This family was on the census two times in 1860, about a week apart. They appear to be two different families. The T L East family on census page 38, near Jackson, LA, had two children then-

1.     W M East (son), b 1853 in LA (104q)

2.     T P East (son), 1856 in LA (104nq)

And the T L East on census page 58, near Jackson, LA, was age 28, born in MS, and had a wife named M L _____, age 18 from LA, and just one child-

1.     Wm L East, b Mar 1860 (104q)

        Tarlton East [E4c5], son of Edward East Sr of Henrico Co VA, was born about 1706 in Henrico Co VA. There is an 11 February 1763 land grant whereby "Tarleton East" entered 400 acres of land on Buckskin Creek adjoining William East and Cole's property. Tarlton married Mary _____ and had a son (he probably had many children)-

a.     John Thomas East, b abt 1740

See William East [E4c2]. Also, see the will of Edward East. (EP,29p)

        Tarlton East [E4c5a1], son of John Thomas East and Mary _____, was born about 1765 in VA. He lived in Laurens Co SC from the 1770s and married Zilpha Priscilla Walker about 1788. Tarlton and Zilpha moved to KY after SC's 1800 census, but by 1805 since his son Joel was born in KY. Tarlton witnessed the will of James Ingram in 1806/1807 in KY. Zilpha was born about 1771 in GA and died in Copiah Co MS in 1823. She was living in Feliciana Parish LA in 1820 in the Richland Creek area in the community where many of her children and grandchildren then lived. Tarlton and Zilpha came from KY via the Mississippi River to Natchez, and then six miles north to Clinton, East Feliciana Parish LA, in the spring of 1809. He died in Feliciana Par LA on 18 March 1815 and was buried in Rehobeth Church Cemetery, Copiah Co. They had about twelve children-

a.     George East, b 1789 in Laurens Co SC, died in 1800 after the summer census. (W,3e)

b.     Priscilla East, b 1790 in Laurens Co SC after the census that year; she was not shown in her parents' home in Laurens Co SC in 1800, and died after 1870. (W,MV,3e)

j.      James Joel East, b 24 Jun 1802

k.     Joel Walker East, b 22 Jan 1805

m.    William East, b 4 Jul 1806

In Zilpha Priscilla Walker's home in 1820 in Feliciana Parish LA were her four youngest sons Tarlton thru William, plus two young girls. It is not known who these two girls were, unless Priscilla had one or two daughters we don't know of, or perhaps these two girls were granddaughters. One was age under 10, and the other was age 10 to 15. (W,MV, M92,3e, 104i)

Note: There were no East names in MS in 1820. In MS in 1830, there were eight families with the East name, and all of them were in four southwestern counties of the state: five families were in Copiah Co, but in two areas of the county, and one each in Franklin, Rankin, and Wilkinson Counties. Of the East names in Copiah Co, these appear to be Tarlton's cousin Thomas East [E4c5a] or sons of Thomas, with one exception- Tarlton East on census page 126 was a son of Tarlton Sr. Tarlton on page 126 was Tarlton East Jr [E4a3a1a9], born in the 1790s; Thomas East [E4c5a] also had a son named Tarlton, but Thomas' son Tarlton was born in 1817. In 1820 these East families were in LA, in Feliciana Parish, but in two areas of that parish. Josiah East, a son of Thomas East [E4c5a], was in the Beaver Creek area, while Isaac, John, Priscilla (widow of Tarlton Sr), and Thomas East were all grouped together in the Richland Creek area in the east part of Feliciana Parish. When Feliciana Parish was divided in 1824 into East and West Feliciana Parishes, Beaver Creek and Richland went into East Feliciana Parish. This parish is just south of the southwestern tip of MS. Hence, it was an easy move to the north to populate the southwestern MS counties.

        Tarlton East [E4c1a2m], son of Benjamin East and Nancy Ann Pruitt, was probably born in the early 1790s in Goochland Co VA. He was named in his father estate settlement in Davidson Co TN in August 1813. (JA,JY,647m)

        Tarlton East Jr [E4c5a1i], son of Tarlton East Sr and Zilpha Priscilla Walker, was born 11 October 1799 and died 30 June 1831. Family records show he died 30 June 1821, but the "2" in the records must be a "3" and hence he must have died in 1831; he was in the 1830 census of Copiah Co MS, born in the 1790s, and apparently married to a woman who was then in her 20s. There were only three people in his home. They had a daughter-

1.     dau East, b 1826-1830 (37j) (MV,104i,37j)

        Tarlton East [E4a3a1c3d], son of John East and Zilpha Chance, was born 15 March 1817 in Feliciana Parish LA (in the part which became East Feliciana Parish in 1824). He married Mary L _____ in 1844 and lived in Attala Co MS at first, then in Caldwell Parish LA. Mary was born in MS in 1826. They moved to Harrison Co TX in the 1860s, after their seventh child was born. In 1880 they were in Panola Co; both Panola and Harrison Counties are at the eastern edge of TX with LA at their eastern border. Tarlton and Mary were not found in TX in 1900, so had probably died by then, in Panola Co. They had seven children-

1.     Margaret B East, b 1845

2.     Mary Jane East, b 1847

3.     Martha Ellen East, b 1849

4.     Cathe A East, b 1854

5.     Malicea E East, b 1857

6.     Rufus K T East, b 10 Jan 1860

7.     Eric East, b 1862 in LA

In 1860 Tarlton's parents lived with him and Mary. In 1870 there was a 4 year old boy J Johnson, born in TX, living with them. (MV,W,104i,58n,385q,420r,421s)

        Tarlton East [E4c5a1j2], son of James Joel East and Elizabeth Smith, was born in 1828 in Rankin Co MS. (W,MSj,385n)

        Tarlton M East [E13a1e], son of James East and Martha Clarkson, was born 5 March 1786 in VA, probably in Nelson Co. He married Sally Coffey in Nelson Co VA on 29 January 1811. She was born in VA in 1892. In 1850 they lived in Campbell Co at Lynchbuirg, and at that time had five adult and unmarried children living with them. In addition, there was Alexander Samuel East also in their household, but Alexander was shown last, as if he were a nephew, cousin (or a henpecked brother in a home of sisters?). Tarlton and Sally's children, in 1850, were all born in VA-

1.     Permelia East, b 1819 (25kn)

2.     Calphurnia East, b 1822 (25kn)

3.     Martha East, b 1822, was not shown in Tarlton's home in 1840, but lived with her parents in 1850. (25n)

3.     Frances East, b 1825, was not shown in Tarlton's home in 1840, but lived with him in 1850. (25n)

4.     Sara A East, b 1827 (25kn)

5.     son East, b 1826-1830 (25k)

6.     Alexander Samuel East, b Mar 1831 (25kn)

7.     Elizabeth East, b 1832,was age under 5 in 1840. (25kn)

The cousin / nephew / (son?) Alexander East living with them in 1850 was born in VA in March 1831. There were three East marriages between 1811-1815, plus another in 1823 in Nelson Co VA. This would indicate that these four East people were siblings born in the 1785 to 1800 years. The four marriages were: Tarlton East and Sally Coffey, William East and Louisa Fitzgerald on 6 February 1823, Polly East and John Brady on 24 February 1812, and Ezekiel East and Dolly Melton on 7 October 1815. (M92,L,647m,25kn)

        Terah Jane East [E4c5a1j10b], daughter of Joel East and Elizabeth L Scott, was born 7 February 1874 at Everman, Tarrant Co TX, and died at Fort Worth on 31 July 1946 from heart failure. Her death certificate named her parents as "Joel East" born in MS and "Elizabeth Scott." "Ernest Easter" of Fort Worth was the informant for her death certificate. Tereah married Van Buren Easter on 24 November 1895. He was born in Johnson Co TX on 20 February 1871, son of William Easter and Elizabeth Henderson (from LA), and died at Fort Worth on 8 May 1940. Terah and Van were buried together in Everman Cemetery in Tarrant Co. In 1900 Terah and Van lived in Tarrant Co; in early 1910 they moved to at Hobart, Kiowa Co OK. They were back in Tarrant Co in 1918. Two doors away in 1930 in Tarrant Co was Terah's brother James.

        Theresa Ann East [E4a3a6d1g19e1], daughter of Vester Doyle East and Frances Mae Greer, was born 29 February 1956. She married Frank Gordon. (RR,N)

        Thomas East [E24], was born by 1620. He lived in Charles City Co VA in 1642, probably just east of Captain Joseph Johnson and close to Richard Williams, and on the south side of the James River. Charles City Co and Henrico Co are neighboring original counties. Thomas was born too early to be a son of William East who came on the ship Paule in 1635. Hence he was given a separate ID#.

        There is a Charles City Co court record in which "Morgan Jones hath undertaken in Co'rt to keepe and mainteine Jane the orphane of Thomas East dec'd for the rest of her time according to the Indentures made with her by John Griffith, w'ch the Co'rt confirmeth." Possibly Morgan Jones was Thomas' father-in-law ot brother-in-law. Since only one orphaned child was named, Thomas probably had no other living children when he died, and Jane would likely be under age two or three. Thomas' only known child was-

a.     Jane East, b p1638

Morgan Jones first arrived in Charles River Co VA in 1639. He was sponsored by or was an indentured worker for Samuel Watkeyes. (M92,M13, JY, M100)

        Thomas East Sr [E4], born perhaps by the early 1640s, and lived in Henrico Co VA to at least 1687. On 20 August of 1672 a Thomas Cocke confirmed in writing that he, Cocke, had made an oral agreement with Thomas East about four years prior in Henrico Co whereby East, in consideration of a nominal rent "of one Ear of Corn" payable on Christmas Day each year, was to lease a parcel of land from Cocke for twenty years, with the option of purchase at the end of the lease. It appears that Cocke and East came to some disagreement in 1691 over this lease-purchase agreement. In 1693 Cocke advertised for an overseer to take care of the disputed land, plus other land in Charles City Co.

        Thomas East was listed on the 2 June 1679 Henrico Co VA tax list, living on Turkey Island Creek. He also was a witness on 28 September 1681 to a land sale between William Porter and Robert Woodson. On 1 February 1683 Robert Clark, a cooper in Henrico Co, sold 161 acres on the south side of White Oak Swamp to Robert Woodson for 2600 pounds of tobacco. This land was described as being a part of a grant to "Robert Woodson, John Woodson, Thomas East, the above Robert Clark and William Porter" on 28 September 1681. Anne, wife of Robert Clark, relinquished her dower right. In another deed record of 1 June 1681, Thomas East was described as owning land next to Robert Clark. Thomas East was a witness to the will of Peter Harris in Henrico Co on 20 September 1687; other witnesses to this will were Thomas Cocke, Robert Woodson, and Edward Mosby. Thomas East Sr, Thomas East, and Edward East were named on a "True and Perfect Rent Roll of all the Lands held of her Maj'tie in Henrico Co, Aprill 1705." The land they were renting was 475 acres, 554 acres, and 150 acres respectively.

        On 10 June 1690 Thomas East Sr, "for love and affection to my son Thomas East Jr and to Mavel East, my daughter," gave farm animals and a gun to Thomas Jr and to Mavel he gave 1/5 of a tract of land "taken up by me, Robert Woodson Sr, John Woodson, William Porter and Robert Clark, 106 acres, on south side of White Oak Swamp" plus farm animals. In this gift, Thomas also said that his daughter Mavel had married John Robinson and they then lived on that land. Daughter Mavel and son Thomas must have been age 18 or older by then; son Thomas was probably age 21 or older. Then on 27 November 1696 Thomas gave "for love and affection" land bounded by Western Run and next to William Porter Sr, in a separate gift to his two sons Edward East and Thomas East. So this gift then completed the gifts of land to three children, and since Mavel was the first daughter to receive, she was likely the eldest girl. In later court records dated 8 March 1697, "Dorothy East, wife of Thomas," relinquished her dower rights to the land gifts by Thomas Sr to their two sons. And on 29 March 1700 Robert Green, a miller of Henrico Co sold to "Thomas East Sr of same, planter," 275 acres on the north side of James River and bounded by Samuel Bridgewater, for 2,500 pounds of tobacco. This was land which Green purchased from Thomas Cardwell on 18 December 1691. On 29 March 1701 Thomas purchased another 275 acres of this land from Green for the same price. But on 27 October 1703 Thomas sold this prior 275 acres back to Green. In these deed records, Thomas "signed" his name with a mark which looked like the capital letters E and T on top of each other. And the last record of Thomas, before his will was entered into probate, was dated in May 1726 when he gave to "my son Edward East, for his care in managing my plantation, 2 negroes, a man Jack, and woman Tabb." Thomas again used his E mark to sign this record.

        Thomas had married twice. His first wife was Winifred Hudnate, with whom he had four children. She was born about 1645 in Henrico Co, and died there in 1674. Thomas then married Dorothy Thomas in Henrico Co on 8 August 1686. She was born about 1640, and died about 1702 in Henrico Co. This last marriage probably had no children.

        Thomas left his will in Henrico Co: "In the name of God Amen I Thomas East of Henrico County being in sound and perfect will and mind do make and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and form following the first I recommend my Soul into the hand of Almighty God hoping for the merits of Jesus Christ my Savior to obtain the pardon and forgiveness of my sins and my body I commend to ye dust from whence it came and as to my personal Estate I leave in manner and form following. Item I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Dorothy East all my Negroes Abraham Isaac Jenny Agy and likewise the plantation whereon I now live with all the appurtenances there unto belonging with all the stock both Cattle Sheep and Hoggs horses and mares. Item I give and bequeath unto my son my Thomas East my plantation whereon I now live after my wife decease. Item I give unto my son Edward East, one-shilling sterling. Item I give unto Mary Alsop my daughter one-shilling sterling. All the rest of my goods and Chattles I leave unto my well beloved wife Dorothy East of what sort or degree whatsoever making her my sole Executrix of this my Last Will and Testament dated this 11th Aug 1726." The will went to probate on 2 January 1727, indicating that Thomas had died at the end of December 1726. Since his naming of daughter Mary wasn't until he was near death, then she probably was the youngest child. Thomas and his wife Dorothy had two sons and two daughters-

a.     Thomas East Jr, b abt 1667

b.     Mavel East, b 1668-1672, married John Robinson on or soon before 10 June 1690.

c.     Edward East Sr, b abt 1670

d.     Mary East, b abt 1680s, married William Alsope before 1726. (MV,JY,29p) (M81, M85, M86, EP, JE,29pzy)

        Thomas East Jr [E4a], son of Thomas East Sr of Henrico Co VA and Dorothy Thomas, was born about 1667. Thomas Jr married Ann Perrin in Henrico Co on 19 April 1695 at St Johns Church. She was the eldest daughter of Thomas Perrin and Ann Porter. Richard Perrin, who died around June 1704, is the above Ann's brother; his inventory was presented in court by his mother (Mrs) Anne Perrin. She was also granted administration. In 1706 a John Perrin sold land that descended to him from his brother Richard. The father of Ann Perrin stated in December 1681 that he was 42 years old. Thomas East Jr in 1695 stated he was 28 years old.

        Ann (Porter) Perrin, mother of Thomas East's wife Ann Perrin, left a will in Henrico Co: In the name of God Amen the 6th day of July 1711 I Ann Perrin of the County of the Parrish of Henrico being sick in body .. I give Bequeathed the same as followeth. first I give and Bequeath to my Eldest Daughter An East one hundred acres of Land Lying and being in Henrico County on the North to James River on the uper side of Lamsons Flats Joyning on Capt Webbs Line to her the sd An East and her heirs for Ever and I also give to the sd An East one feather bed and furniture..

        There were several deeds that prove John and Richard Perrin were the sons of Anne and Thomas Perrin. They were also the brothers of Ann (who married Thomas East), Elizabeth (who married Elam?, John Alday, and Seth Hatcher), Jane (who married Thomas Baily and William Ballowe), and Martha (who married Thomas Cardwell). Apparently Mrs Anne Perrin gave to her daughters because the sons had already received their share of inheritance from their father years before.

        Thomas East Jr rented 554 acres in Henrico Co in 1705 from Her Majesty the Queen of England. Thomas was on jury duty in 1700, and in the October court of 1723 he was sued by John Povall over 1,000 pounds of tobacco. Povall won. Sometime after 1723 Thomas apparently moved to Hanover Co. He and Edward Moseby sold 106 acres in Henrico Co on 16 May 1737 to Sackville Brewer. This land was described as being on the south side of White Oak Swamp and bounded on the west by land of Edward Moseby, on the south by Colonel Benjamin Harrison, on the east by James Powell Cocke, and on the north by John Hales formerly Pleasants. The land was part of a larger tract granted by patent to Thomas East, deceased, of Henrico Co and father of the Thomas East selling the land with Moseby. Witnesses to this sale were Robert and John Woodson, William Porter, and Robert Clarke. There is a deed record dated 1 April 1717 in Henrico Co where "Thomas East and his wife Anne" are indebted to Seth Hatcher and his wife Elizabeth, William Ballew and wife Jane, and Thomas Cardwell and wife Martha, for £50. Apparently in the inheritance of these wives from "John Perrin dec'd" (their grandfather?), the four sisters (the above wives) still owed their brother John Perrin £50 more to make the inheritance correct.

        On 28 August 1728, "Thomas East Sr of St Pauls Parish, Hanover County" sold to John Lefon (Lofton?) of same, for 2,100 pounds of tobacco, land on the orth side of James River (in Henrico Co) on Gillies Creek, 204 acres. This land was part of the 404 acres purchased by said Thomas East of John Robinson on 1 August 1704. Witnesses to this sale were Thomas (T) East Jr, John Robertson, and Alexander Robertson. The reason that Thomas, the seller, was called a Sr was that he now had a son Thomas, and Thomas Jr's father, the original Thomas East Sr of Henrico Co, was now dead. Since seller Thomas East had to differentiate between himself and his son was probably because his son was of legal age in 1728. So from this deed, we can assume that Thomas Jr (husband of Anne) had moved to Hanover Co soon after his father died in Henrico Co in late 1726. On 30 August 1728 "Thomas East Sr of St Pauls Parish, Hanover County, planter," sold to George Abney of same, for 1,900 pounds of tobacco, 200 acres of land on the north side of James River on Gillies Creek, bounded by James Bailey and the creek. This then completed the sale of the 404 acres Thomas had purchased from his brother-in-law John Robinson and sister Mavel East on 1 August 1704. On 3 June 1735 "Thomas East of Hanover County" sold to John Williams of Henrico Co for £30, 350 acres of land on the north side of James River. Note that Thomas had been a citizen of Hanover Co for years, and his son Thomas (III) had been a citizen of Henrico Co for years, so the titles Jr and Sr were not used. This land just sold was called Hellgarden and was bounded by lands of Colonel William Randolph, James Cocke, William Porter, Tarleton Woodson, and Edward East. This Edward East was probably a brother of Thomas East Jr of Hanover Co. 150 acres of the land was was given to said Thomas by his father Thomas East dec'd by deed 27 November 1696, and another 100 acres by the will of his late father. Thomas East Jr of Hanover Co signed with his mark, a letter T on its side.

        A 16 May 1737 sale of 106 acres by "Thomas East of Hanover Co, son and heir of Thomas East, Sr of Henrico Co, dec'd," to Sackvil Brewer of Henrico Co for £10 was for land on the south side of White Oak Swamp, bounded by Edward Mosby, Colonel Benjamin Harrison, James Powell Cocke, and John Hales land, formerly Pleasants' land. The land was granted to Thomas East dec'd, William Porter, John Woodson, and Robert Clark. The land was "formerly given by Thomas East dec'd to his daughter Mavel East for life, which term being expired, land reverts to said Thomas East as heir at law." Thomas signed the deed transfer with an upright capital letter T. Thomas Jr and his wife Ann had sons-

1.     John East, b abt 1695

2.     Thomas East III, b bef 1696

3.     William East, b abt 1700 (MV,M85, M90,JE,M15, 29mpz)

        Thomas East (III) [E4a2], son of Thomas East Jr, was born about 1695 in Henrico Co VA. He married, but his wife's name may never be known because of the destruction of Virginia records in three wars and court house fires before 1865. Thomas East was first found on a deed record dated 7 September 1730 when William Porter of Henrico Co sold land on the north side of James River to Francis Garthright of Henrico Co; the land was described as being "next to Thomas East." Since the parents of Thomas East (III) had moved to Hanover Co at least two years prior and his grandfather Thomas East Sr had been dead for nearly four years, then Thomas East (III) was the only Thomas East in the area. He died around 1756 when his son Thomas East, aged 15 years or more, and less than 21 years, was in Lunenburg county, VA in 1756. At the February court of that county he appeared as the orphan of Thomas East, deceased, and chose John East for his guardian. James East and William Robertson became sureties for John East. The residence of the guardian and his sureties was not stated. The relationship of the orphan to John East and to James East was also not stated. It is known, however, that John East was indeed the brother of Thomas III as well as James being the cousin of Thomas. Thomas East (III) had a son-

a.     Thomas East (IV), b abt 1740 (JE,29z)

        Thomas East [E4c3b], son of Isham East (he a son of Edward East), was born about 1728, probably in VA, and lived in in Lunenburg Co VA in the 1760s, and later lived in Surry Co and then Stokes Co NC for much of his life starting before 1780. He and his brother William East were named to be executors of the 9 November 1780 will of William Smith in Surry Co. Since executors are not normally chosen when they are in their early twenties, but are instead experienced business men, then Thomas (and William) must have been born by 1750. And Thomas' brother William did have a son named William, but that son was born in 1773. What children Thomas had, if any, is not known. Hence, the Thomas and William named in this 1780 will must have been the brothers Thomas and William East. If the William Smith who wrote his will was not from the same area of VA where Thomas and William East were from, then Thomas and William East must have been in Surry Co for some time before 1780 to gain the trust of William Smith.

        In William Smith's will he named his wife Elizabeth, sons Samuel, Thomas (both adults), William, and John, and named six daughters: Mary, Betty Ann, Susannah, Martha, Nancy, and Sorlly. Since none of the daughters was given a married name, and since William Smith said his mother was then living, and since at least two sons were adults, then it is likely this William Smith was no more than about 45 years old (born not before 1735). William Smith died by May 1781 when his estate was proven in court.

        When William and Thomas sold land in VA in 1769 to Peter and John Sallee, it was in Charlotte Co. The wives of William and Thomas relinquished their dower rights in the land and both were named Mary. There was another will written in Surry Co, by David Melton on 21 February 1787 in which David's wife Connie and Thomas East were to be executors. David Melton died by the following April. He named adult sons John and David Melton.

        The 1790 Stokes Co NC census shows the neighborhood of the East families. There were Thomas East with two boys under age 16, two females, and eight slaves. Since this Thomas was the only Thomas East shown and since he owned eight slaves, then he must have been quite well off and therefore was Thomas East Senr. Nearby was William Venable (husband or father-in-law of Ursula East), Joseph East with five daughters and two sons, Isham East with one slave and five sons, and next door to Isham was William East with a large family, and two doors away was John Venable, brother-in-law of Ursula East who married William Venable. Because Thomas Sr was born about 1728, he very likely had children born before the 1770s, and perhaps was married twice.

        It is thought that Thomas East and William East were brothers and that they were the sons of Isham East, son of Edward. Isham East, Senior had left Charlotte County, Virginia by November, 1769 when Tarlton East, Constable, was sent to call him into court. He has not been located afterwards unless he is the Isham East in Laurens County, SC in 1780. Several East families moved there from Halifax in the 1770s and Isham East received a grant of land in Laurens County in 1786. The Joseph East found in the Surry County records could be another brother to Thomas and William but the research is still in progress on him.

        The children of Thomas Sr who lived in north-central NC are assumed to be-

1.     Polly East, born pre-1790 (early 1770s?)

2.     Asa East, b abt 1775 in Surry Co, NC. Asa married Mary _____ by 1800 and lived in Stokes Co in 1800 with two sons and one daughter. In his parents' homne in 1790 only two sons were shown; Asa would have been old enough by then to be a farm hand living on a neighbor's farm. In 1821 Asa transferred a deed in Stokes Co to Clisby Roberson. Asa and many (all?) of his children moved to Simpson Co KY and to Lincoln Co MO by 1830 and 1840. (76aey)

3.     Thomas East Jr, b 1778, lived in Stokes Co NC in 1800 and had recently married Anna Maria Hauser there in 1799.

4.     John H East, b 27 Jun 1780, lived in Surry Co in 1810. (He is not to be confused with John East, born 1782, son of Isham East [E4c3a3], and who lived in Stokes Co in 1820). (76a) (JA,76a, 240p)

        Thomas East [E4c6b], son of Joseph East and Mary of Louisa Co VA, was born in the early 1730s and was a brother of Edith East of Goochland Co VA. From an 8 August 1763 Louisa Co deed record, we have this information: Thomas East of Louisa County sold to Alexander Baine of Henrico County 100 acres on the north side of the South Anna River, bounded by lands of Charles Rice, George Dabney and Captain William Sandridge, being land whereon the said Thomas East now resides. It was conveyed to Thomas by deed of gift from his father Joseph East in Louisa County Court. Thomas married Winnifred Chapman in 1751 in Goochland Co. Thomas and Winnifred had at least one son, and possibly another son and daughter-

1.     James East, b 10 Aug 1753

2.     Martha East(?)

3.     Ben East(?) (M90,M92,M94,EL)

        Thomas East [E4a2a], son of Thomas East of Henrico Co VA and an unknown wife, was born in 1740 and lived in Pittsylvania Co. His birth years are determined because he was between the ages of 15 and 21 when his parents died (born between 1735 and 1741), and was old enough to choose his legal guardian, per Virginia law. At the February court of Lunenburg Co, Thomas appeared as the orphan of Thomas East, deceased, and chose John East for his guardian. DAR records place his birth date at 1740. In 1782 Thomas was in Pittsylvania Co, as shown on a local census record. Also, Thomas was one of four East men who took an oath of Allegiance in 1777 in Pittsylvania Co; the other three were John East Sen, Joseph East, and a second John East. The first three men lived in Thomas Dillard's district, and the younger John East was in Crispin Shelton's district.

        In September 1781 Thomas Dillard of Pittsylvania Co sold 342 acres on Staunton River to Thomas East of Bedford Co for £400. This establishes about when Thomas moved to Pittsylvania Co since there were numerous deed records of him and his children in Pittsylvania Co after this date. Bedford Co was then the county to the north of Pittsylvania Co. (In early 1782 that portion of Bedford Co became Campbell Co.) On 4 April 1782 Thomas was a witness to a land sale along the north side of the Staunton River (was in Bedford Co). Since Thomas was a witness, he probably lived close by; the Staunton River separated the two counties. Hence Thomas could have lived on either side of the river then. But on 1 August 1782 "Thomas East of Pittsylvania County" sold to "Moore Lumpkins of Bedford Co" about 365 acres for £400. (Bedford Co in this deed record was by then actually Campbell Co; See Campbell Co VA map.) So this shows that Thomas moved from the north side of the Staunton River to the south side between October 1781 and August 1782. Thomas' wife Obedience made her mark on this land sale. And in 1787 Thomas is listed on a Personal Property tax list in Pittsylvania Co, owning two horses and 13 cattle.

        Thomas married Obedience _____ and died soon before 17 July 1797 when his estate went to probate in Pittsylvania Co; it was inventoried on 16 October 1797. In the inventory his wife and eight children were mentioned on 1 September 1798 in the Pittsylvania Co court records. Thomas was buried on the Alta Vista Plantation, Pittsylvania Co (report of DAR Senate Document 99, 86th Congress, 2nd Session). Much information of this couple and their children was derived from the early Research of Ernest Edward East of Peoria, IL in the 1940s.

        "In obedience to an order of the worshipful court of Pittsylvania County bearing date October Court 1797 appointing of us the subscribers for to lay off and will unto Obedience East widow of Thomas East deceased her dower or third part of her late husband Thomas East land and also her thirds of his personal estate and the residue of his land and personal estate to divide amongst his legatees. We have this day met and laid off and allotted unto the said Obedience East 114 acres of land it being the third part of her late husband Thomas East 's land agreeable to a plot hereto annexed and have also allotted unto the said Obedience East fifty three pounds eleven shillings and four pence current money it being the third of her husband's personal estate agreeable to the said of the estate and the residue of his land and personal estate we have divided among the legatees as follows: To Thomas East 24 acres of land No. 8 and the sum of 13 pounds 7 shillings and 10 pence current money. Agreeable to the said. To Ezekiel East 18 acres of land No. 6 and also 13 pounds 7 shillings and 10 pence current money.

Given under our hands this the first day of September 1798. Signed Joshua Stone, Ben Lankford and John Ward junior.

        At a court held for Pittsylvania County October the 15th 1798. This division of the lands and personal estate of Thomas East deceased was returned ordered that the same be recorded. Teste Will Tunstall Pittsylvania County Account Current Book 3 page 38/39"

        Obedience died soon before 2 April 1805 when the younger children sold their inherited farmland to the eldest son. In this Pittsylvania Co sale (Deed Book 14, page 488), the younger heirs of Obedience and Thomas sold their shares of 100 inherited acres to their older brother Thomas East for £18. All but Thomas Jr, were signers on the deed of sale. Note that there was no son Elisha; that name is a mis-reading of daughter Elizabeth's name. Thomas and Obedience had a large family, all adults by September 1798 except possibly the youngest girl; most birth years are just estimates from few records. Of all of their sons, it has been well established that Thomas, Ezekiel, Isaac, and Joseph moved to and spent years in Pittsylvania Co VA. Perhaps also William, John, and some of the daughters also lived in Pittsylvania Co. These children were-

1.     Sally East, b 1772

2.     Ezekiel East, 1773

3.     Thomas East Jr, b 1774

4.     Isaac East, b 1776

5.     William East, b bef 1777 (1776?)

6.     John East, b abt 1775

7.     Joseph East, b 1781

8.     Elizabeth East, b 1777-1787 (D,M16,M92,MV,EL, JE,EP,L,25z)

        Thomas East [E4c3a2], son William East (he a son of Isham East Sr) and Mary Cannon, lived in Stokes Co NC and was born about 1746 in VA. Thomas East and William East were named as executors of William Smith's 9 November 1780 will. Since they both had to be adults then, and most likely experienced adults, then both men must have been born at least by 1750. Hence, this William and Thomas East must have been the elder sons of William who had the 1780 will. In 1782 Thomas lived close to another Thomas East (his father's brother?), and his father and older brother Joseph. On 9 February 1786 John Horn sold 125 acres to Thomas East for £300. This land was on both sides of Little Yadkin River in Stokes Co NC adjacent to John Horn's property. On 16 February 1787 Thomas was given title to 100 acres along Little Yadkin River, land next door to land he already owned, and next to William London's property. And on 8 August 1787 Thomas East witnessed a land sale from Matthew Doss to Adonijah Harbour, land along the Yadkin River. Two days later Thomas sold his 125 acres to Matthew Doss and his wife Millie for £225. This land was on both sides of the Little Yadkin River, and was next to land owned by Henry Kirby and Jesse Horn. Thomas's wife Mary signed with her X mark; Thomas signed his name. So he owned that 125 acres just about a year and a half. From November 1787 deed records, we know that Thomas took title to 250 acres next to his own property on Cabion Run

        In 1790 Thomas lived in Stokes Co close to Joseph East; Stokes Co was created from the eastern side of Surry Co in 1789, so Thomas' plantation must have been in that portion. In Stokes Co in 1790 he lived close to his brother Joseph and William East (a brother?). Thomas married Mary _____. She was born by 1755, and probably predated Thomas in death since she wasn't named in his will. Thomas East left a will in Stokes County, dated 28 March 1807. The will was entered into court in September 1808. He left 400 acres of land, two slaves, and his black-smith tools to Thomas East, Junior. To his grandchildren, at the decease of their mothers, he left slaves. He named three grandsons, Jesse Brown and Thomas East Brown. sons of his daughter Caty Brown; and Thomas Edwards, son of Abel Edwards. He also left 200 acres of land to the Brown grandsons. He mentioned his daughters by name: Caty, Elizabeth, and Nancy but only tells the married name of Caty. He does not mention his wife so we may presume she had predeceased him. He also instructed that the household goods be distributed at his death. Thomas' children were-

a.     Catherine East, b abt 1765

b.     Laura Elizabeth East, b 1767

c.     Nancy East, b abt 1770, was named in her father's 1807 will, so she was alive then. (76p)

d.     dau East, b 1766-1775 in NC. She was not actually named in her father's 1807 will, but her husband and son Thomas were. Perhaps this daughter had received her inheritance in advance when she married Abel Edwards. In 1810 they lived seven doors from Thomas East (Jr) in Stokes Co NC. Abel was probably a son of Edward Edwards. See the following note. Abel's birth date was 1775 or before. Ms East and Abel lived next to her father in 1807. They had seven children by 1810-

        1.     dau Edwards, b 1785-1794 (76h)

        2.     dau Edwards, b 1785-1794 (76h)

        3.     Thomas Edwards, b 1795-1800, was named in his mother's father's 1807 will as a grandson, son of Abel Edwards. Thomas married soon before 1820 and lived in Stokes Co NC. His wife was about the same age as Thomas. They had no children by 1820. (76ehi)

        4.     dau Edwards, b 1795-1800 (76h)

        5.     son Edwards, b 1801-1810. (76h)

        6.     son Edwards, b 1805-1810. (76hi)

        7.     dau Edwards, b 1805-1810. (76hi)

        8.     son Edwards, b 1811-1820. (76i)

There were two Edwards families in Stokes Co in 1810: Abel, and Edward Edwards. Edward was the elder, born in 1765 or before. He lived just a few doors from Abel in 1810. On 20 January 1830 in Stokes Co Edward H Edwards (Abel's father? or son?) provided the marriage bond for Ann Rebecca East who married James E Wooten. Ann was born in 1809, and was probably a daughter of the only brother of Ms East who married Abel Edwards. (M92,76pehi)

e.     Thomas East Jr, b abt 1775. See his biography below.

NOTE: The Spaihaur / Spainhour families of Surry Co descend from brothers Warnhardt and Heinrich Spaihaur who were born around 1720 in Muttenze, Germany. Warnhardt, also called Werner, was married to Elizabeth _____; his brother Heinrich was a barrel maker. (M92:5/1989, W,12/1990, JA,76ame, 240zp)

        Thomas East Sr [E4c5a], son of Tarlton East and Mary _____ of Laurens Co SC, was born by 1745, perhaps about 1740. He married Mary _____ and lived in Berkeley Co SC in the 1780s, and in Laurens Co SC in the 1790s. His name was John Thomas East, but usually he used his middle name. See John Thomas East [E4c5a].

        Thomas East was on a tax list in Buckingham Co VA in 1800. He owned one horse and two slaves. (69t)

        Thomas East [E1b], son of John East and Frances Harston of Pittsylvania Co VA, was born in 1765 in VA, probably Halifax Co since his father owned a plantation there from 1764 to 1777, land which later became part of Henry Co. In 1787 Thomas is listed on a Halifax Co Personal Property tax list owning two horses and two cattle. He married Sarah Graves on 12 August 1790. She was born in Pittsylvania Co (later became Henry Co) VA in 1775 after the month of May. She was one of at least eight children of William Graves (he a son of Thomas Graves and Ann Clark or Ann Davenport) of Spotsylvania Co and Mary _____ of Hanover Co. Thomas East and George Hairston were the attorneys for William Wirt in April 1796, and Thomas bought 50 acres from George Hairston in Henry Co on Drag Creek in August 1804. Because of the middle name of Thomas' great-grandson John Harston East [E1b4b1], George Hairston may be a close relative (Thomas' maternal uncle?). Thomas was also found on the 1810 Henry Co tax list with two males over age 16, seven females, and two slaves. The tax list information agrees closely with the numbers in his family, if his eldest son William was not part of the household. And there was a William East also in the county, with one adult male, one female (probably his wife), and two slaves on a nearby farm.

        Thomas and Sarah moved to Giles Co TN in 1826 according to Sarah's 1849 bible record (the bible was printed in 1813). Some of their children came to Giles Co with them. He bought 80 acres in the county in 1826. There is a Giles Co court record of 23 September 1836 in which a deposition concerning the sanity of Thomas was taken, instigated by son Joseph East. It seems that Thomas' sanity was in question when he sold 80 acres to son Barzley and Barzley's business partner John N Shields in October 1833; Joseph thought Thomas was not sane enough to know what he was doing. In the hearing, witness Warde Barrett said he knew Thomas East for about seven years, thus implying that Thomas was in Giles Co by 1829. Also, Thomas' neighbors were Nathaniel Bivens, John C Walker Esq, and James Reynolds, thus helping to place where Thomas lived in the county at the time. See the Joseph East biography.

        The November court judged that "Thomas was a lunatic at the time" of the land sale and prior to then, thus nullifying the sale. The records further reported that Joseph was made a guardian of his father for the year 1834; Joseph was living in Wayne Co at the time. On 2 September 1839 "Joseph East who was heretofore appointed guardian of his father Thomas East a Lunatic came into court and resigned his said Guardianship which was accepted by the court."

        An article in the 8 July 1847 issue of the Lawrenceburg Times stated "EAST, Hardin Co, chancery court: Joseph East, Sr., complainant, versus Sarah East, Elizabeth Webb, Thomas Webb, Joseph East Jr., Mariah Abernathy, Sally Bouldin, Richard T. Bouldin, Martha Stanford, [----] Stanford, John Trent, Sarah Jane Trent, Thomas M. East, Thomas H Maberry, Samuel Ruth, Sarah Ann Ruth, Eli F. Edmiston, Mary Jane Edmiston, Martha Trent, John H. East, Reuben East, Evaline W. Hood, Robert Hood, Edmund W. East, Barclay G. East, all heirs and distributees of Thomas East Sr., deceased; Thomas Webb and wife Elizabeth, Richard T. Bouldin and wife Sally, Martha Stanford and her husband, and Edward W. East, are all non-residents of TN." So in one legal advertisement in a newspaper we are given so many of the descendants and spouses of Thomas East, Joseph's father. A 29 February 1848 Wayne Co estate record of the late Thomas East agreed very closely with the names shown in the newspaper article. Those known children not listed had probably died by 1847, without heirs. The 1849 Sarah (Graves) East Bible listed the children of Thomas and Sarah as follows: William, Eliza., Joseph, John, Patsy, Thomas Massey, Salley, Susannah, Maria, Evelyna W, Thomas Martin, Barzley Graves, and Edmond Wallace.

        Many of the children of Thomas and Sarah were members of Roberson Fork Church in the northeast corner of the county (now on the Giles-Marshall Co line). Thomas died at Waynesboro in Wayne Co on 4 October 1844, probably at the home of his son Joseph, who had moved there soon before 1840 from Giles Co. He is buried in Waynesboro. By May 1849 Sarah was living in McNairy Co with or near her son Barzley; on that date she gave him power of attorney to collect a debt owed her from someone in Hardin Co. She gave her place of residence as McNairy Co in the papers. In the early 1850s Sarah moved to Savannah, where she died on 4 January 1866, most likely at her son Joseph's home. Joseph had moved from Waynesboro to Savannah in 1852, and by the mid 1860s many of the descendants of Thomas and Sarah had settled at Savannah. Sarah is buried in the Savannah Cemetery next to her son Joseph. She and Thomas had thirteen children, all born in Henry Co, VA-

1.     William East, b 29 Jun 1791

2.     Elizabeth East, b 26 August 1792

        Thomas East [E4c5a2], son of John Thomas East Sr and Mary _____ of Laurens Co SC, was born 15 January 1771 in VA, and lived in Laurens Co SC. Census records of Laurens Co and of counties in southwest MS indicate that Thomas married in the 1790s to someone born in the early 1780s. She was Nancy Ann Caldwell, born 27 October 1778.

        On 1 June 1799 "Thomas Este Junior and wife Nancy" sold 111 acres on Indian Creek in Laurens Co to John Cannon. Thomas and Nancy sold 115 acres in Laurens Co to Abraham Johnson on 28 October 1806 for $330, land on Bush River and part of a 30 October 1772 tract granted to Daniel Ravenel. Since he was not found in SC after 1806 and was not in MS until 1820, and some of his children were born in KY, he and his family must have spent 14 years in the Blue Grass State. Family records from other distant cousins indicate that the stop in KY was in Caldwell Co in west KY.

        Thomas and family lived in East Feliciana Parish, LA in the 1810s, then moved to Copiah and Franklin Counties MS in the 1820s, by 1826; there is an 1826 East Feliciana (deed?) record which mentioned "Thomas East and wife Nancy East of Copiah Co MS, formerly of East Feliciana Parish, LA." See the Note following the biography of Tarlton East Sr [E4c5a1]. During the 1830s he moved back to LA where he died on 10 June 1840. Nancy was listed as the head of her household in Feliciana Parish in 1840. Thomas was buried in East Cemetery in East Feliciana Parish, as was Nancy. She died 9 June 1844. Thomas and Nancy had a large family of ten or more children-

East Cemetery in East Feliciana Co is at GPS coordinates 30.87670, -91.09780; this is south of Pipes Lane (Parish Route 3-111), about 1.0 mile east of Highway 19 and 0.7 miles north of Highway 963. (M92,3ehi,37jm,104inc)

        Thomas East Jr [E4a2a3], son of Thomas East Sr and Obedience _____ of Charlotte Co VA, was born about 1774 in Halifax Co VA. He married Mildred Timberlake in Campbell Co on or a few days after 19 October 1795. She was not of age at the time since her father Charles Timberlake had to give his consent. Therefore, Mildred was probably born in the late 1770s. The 1850 census shows that she was born in 1778. Their marriage bond was posted by Publius Jones and by Thomas East. Mildred's name was found on a land purchase between Thomas and his brother Ezekiel: On 19 October 1805 "Thomas and Mildred East his wife of Pittsylvania County of the one party" sold to "Ezekiel East of the same of the other party" 24 acres along the bank of the Staunton River in Pittsylvania Co for £25 Virginia money. The sale was signed by Thomas East and Mildred East. Mildred, born about 1778, died after 1850. The marriage between Thomas East Jr and Anna Maria Hauser about 1799 in nearby Stokes Co SC was for a cousin of the Thomas East Jr of Pittsylvaniua Co VA. Thomas East Jr (of Pittsylvania Co) died in northern Pittsylvania Co in October 1849 (per 1850 mortality schedule).

        The names of the children of Thomas and his wife Mildred were largely determined from census records, and from where young adult East people lived in relation to where Thomas and Mildred lived. Since Thomas' brothers also had children during the 1795-1825 years, any family records of the descendants of Thomas' siblings which stated that an East person from Pittsylvania Co and born in the 1795-1825 years belonged to one of Thomas' siblings, that record was assumed to be correct. Therefore, the remaining unaccounted for East person found on census and marriage records in Pittsylvania Co was assumed to be a child of Thomas and Mildred, if the birth years matched the 1820 to 1840 census records of the inhabitants of Thomas' household. The 1820 census of Pittsylvania Co (the earliest available) had only one Thomas East; he and his wife were ages 26-44. They had six possible sons and four daughters (some may have been adult children-in-law, spouses of Thomas' older children). Since Thomas had married in late 1795, it would have been possible then to have children born as early as 1796. By 1820, the eldest possible son in the home was age 16-25; the eldest possible daughters were also age 16-25, the youngest children were three boys and two girls under age 10.

        The only census years we have to work with to determine the Pittsylvania Co VA Thomas East's children's birth years are the 1820 and 1840 censuses; Thomas and his brother Joseph were skipped in the 1830 census, as were many of their close neighbors, so we are at a loss to learn what those records can tell us.

        In Pittsylvania Co in 1830 there were East names: Ezekiel East, Joseph East, and a much younger Thomas East Jr (born 1801-1810 and who married Elizabeth West in 1828, and had a son under age 10). These families all lived close to each other on census page 349. Other names close to them on page 349 were James King Jr (he married Ezekiel's daughter Obedience East in 1824) & James King Sr, Joseph, George, & William West (one of these West men was likely the young Thomas East's father-in-law), and James & Martin Templeton. William Vaughan was on page 348 (he married Ezekiel's daughter Sally East in 1818). Asa East was on page 353 (born 1801-1810, married Elizabeth Templeton in 1826, and had two children under age 10). Asa's close neighbors were Edmund Templeton, John & William Worsham. And because the 1810 VA census was lost, we can't use that.

        Thomas and his ten children, six sons and four daughters, living at home in 1820 with their birth years shown by the census, were in Pittsylvania Co on census page 75; they are as follows, with the probable children given who fit the birth years of the children from the 1820 census:

a.     son, b 1802-1816 / John(?), married Clara _____ in the 1830s. In 1850 Clara was living next to Jackson East and his wife Polly, with 72 year old widow Mrs Milly East living on the other side of Clara. Clara was born in 1806. Hence, her husband was probably born about 1804. Clara and her husband had three children by 1850-

        1.     Lucy East, b 1840

        2.     John East, b 1840

        3.     Paulina East, b 1842

b.     son, b 1805-1810 / Asa East, b 30 June 1803, married Elizabeth Templeton on 13 September 1826 in Pittsylvania Co.

c.     dau, b 1805-1810 / Philida East, b abt 1806, married William Compton in 1824. Her age given in the 1820 census was 1805-1810. In 1830 she and William lived in Pittsylvania Co and she was then age 20-29. They had three children by 1830 which agreed with their 1824 marriage date. Since she was at least age 18 when married, she was probably born in 1806, which also agrees with her age in the 1820 census.

d.     dau, b 1805-1810 / There was a Sally East who married Daniel Martin in Pittsylvania Co on 9 Nov 1831; the Sally East who married William Vaughan in 1818 was a daughter of Ezekiel East.,

e.     son, b 1805-1810 / Thomas C East, b 1809.. He married Mrs Matilda (Watson) Shackleford on 4 September 1837 in Pittsylvania Co. She was born in 1809 in VA.

f.      son, b 1811-1820 / married Mary ___ abt 1842, and died by 1849. She and her four children lived with 72 year old Milly East in 1850. Mary was born in 1810-

        1.     Alonzo East, b 1843

        2.     Philip East, b 1844

        3.     Eliza East, b 1846

        4.     George East, b 1849

g.     son, b 1811-1820 / Andrew Jackson East, b 1815, married Mary Barber in Pittsylvania Co on 9 Jan 1836. In 1850 they lived in northern Pittsylvania Co three doors from his widowed mother. His wife Polly was born in 1814 in VA. By 1850 they had six living children-

        1.     John East, b1836 (27n)

        2.     Judith East, b 1838 (27n)

        3.     Charles East, b 1839 (27n)

        4.     Daniel East, b 1842 (27n)

        5.     Elizabeth East, b 1846 (27n)

        6.     William East, b 1849 (27n) (27mn)

h.     dau, b 1811-1820 / The Elizabeth East, born in 1815 and who married Henry Baliss in Pittsylvania Co in 1840, was a daughter of Ezekiel East. Hence, the unnamed daughter of Thomas and Mildred is still unidentified.

i.      dau, b 1811-1820 / The Louisa East, b 1816, and who married William Burnett in Pittsylvania Co in 1839 was a daughter of Joseph East [E4a2a7] and Mary Bell. Hence, the unnamed daughter of Thomas and Mildred is still unidentified.

j.      son, b 1811-1820 / John Leland Timberlake East, b 1819, married Patty in 1842, or just lived with his elder brother's widow Patsy.

        In 1830 there was only one Thomas East, called Thomas East Jr; he was the Thomas East on census page 86 in 1840, living next door to the elder Thomas East in 1840. There were a total of four families with the East name in the county in 1830. The members of their homes and ages were as follows; the first three were Ezekiel East's and sons:

Thomas East Jr (Pg 349), 20-29, wife 20-29, son 0-4.

Ezekiel East (Pg 349), 50-59, no wife, daus 20-29, 15-19, 3 sons 10-14, dau 5-9.

Joseph East (Pg 349),20-29, wife 20-29, sons 10-14, 5-9, mother 50-59.

Asa East on (Pg 353), 20-29, wife 20-29, fem 15-19, male 15-19, dau 0-4, son 0-4.

        Although brothers Thomas (Sr) and Joseph East (Sr) were not found in Pittsylvania Co in 1830, they were there in 1840. Other familiar names in Pittsylvania Co in 1830 were Doss, Angel, and Barber families on page 348; William Vaughan (husband of Sally East, Ezekiel's eldest daughter) on page 348, five doors from Ezekiel East; James King Jr (husband of Obedience East, Ezekiel's daughter) was on Page 349 next to Ezekiel East; West, Mitchell, Angel, Owen, Lay, Templeton names were also on page 349. See John W East and James Mitchell East, sons of Ezekiel East Jr for a better understanding of these extra names. In nearby Campbell Co there was only Isaac East, age 20-29, with a wife the same age, and a son and daughter, both under age 5.

        Any Thomas East in Campbell Co cannot be ignored; after all, most of the East families in the northern part of Pittsylvania Co in these census records lived next to the Staunton River which separated the two counties. It would be very likely that anyone with an East name in Campbell Co would be a close relative to those East people across the river. In 1840, Pittsylvania Co had three Thomas East families: two were in the northern part of the county, and one in the southern part. And Campbell Co had one Thomas East (page 16), plus an East man and his family living just across the Staunton River in Campbell Co; regrettably, the corner of the 1840 census page 2 which held their names was torn off, and we cannot read his given name. The East man who was then head of his home was born in the 1811-1820 years, his wife was the same age, and they had a daughter under age 5; there was another male age 10-14 in their home, but he was likely hired help for farm work. The southern Pittsylvania Co Thomas (page 153) lived close to David Barber, Hyram Lane, John Singleton, and Joseph Adams. One Thomas East in the northern part of Pittsylvania Co was Thomas East (page 85) and the other was Thomas East Jr (page 86). The members of their homes and ages were as follows, immediately followed by the Thomas East who lived in Campbell Co just across the river:

Thomas Sr (Pg 85), 60-69, wife 60-69, two females 20-29, boy 5-9, girl 5-9; the two youngest children must have been grandchildren.

Thomas Jr (Pg 86), 30-39, wife 30-39, daus 10-14, 0-4, son 0-4.

Thomas (Pg 153), 20-29, wife 15-19; no children.

Thomas (Pg 16), 30-39, wife 30-39, dau 5-9, 2 sons 5-9, 2 dau 0-5, son 0-5.

        The number of children in the home and the marriage dates help us determine which Thomas married which wife, and then which East family each belonged with. Thomas and wife (page 153) in southern Pittsylvania Co were a young couple, very recently married, and without children. This must be the Thomas who married Martha J Lane in 1839 in Pittsylvania Co. This Thomas was born in 1815 and Martha in 1824. By 1850 they had three children, all under age 5. They settled in a neighborhood of Pittsylvania Co where the Lane / Lain families lived. This Thomas was Ezekiel's son Thomas P East. And the elder Thomas East from the 1840 census (page 85) had died in late 1849, leaving his 72 year old widow Milly who lived among many other East families in northern Pittsylvania Co in 1850.

        That leaves us with two remaining Thomas East men, both born about the same time in the 1801-1810 years, and both married to a woman of the same age. The determing factor is that Thomas C had married in 1837 while the Thomas who lived in Campbell Co in 1840 and moved to Pittsylvania Co by 1850 had married in 1828. The Campbell Co Thomas, who was on the 1850 census page 211 in Pittsylvania Co, had five children age 10 to 19 which matched the marriage date of 1828 and the census records of the Thomas in Campbell Co of 1840. Thomas C East on page 188 in 1850 of Pittsylvania Co had too few children of the middle teen years in 1850; his eldest children were born in the late 1830s and early 1840s. The wife of this Thomas was Martha, so was the one married in 1837. He was Thomas Jr, son of Thomas Sr and Mildred Timberlake of the 1840 census.

        The Thomas from Campbell Co in 1840 had married Elizabeth West in 1828; Thomas Jr (Thomas C) had married Mrs Matilda Shackleford in 1837. In fact, the marriage records show that the Thomas who married Matilda was Thomas C East. So who were the parents of these two Thomas East men? As stated before, since Thomas C East was Thomas East Jr living next to the senior Thomas in 1840, he must have been the elder Thomas' son. And the Thomas who married Elizabeth West in 1828 and moved to Campbell Co by 1840 was the eldest son of Joseph East, brother of the elder Thomas East of 1840 Pittsylvania Co who had married Mildred Timberlake.

        In 1840 Pittsylvania Co James King (husband of Obedience East) was on page 91 next door to Ezekiel East; Ezekiel East was on page 91; also on page 91 were many Doss and Irby families (see James Mitchell East and John W East); James East on page 93; Jackson East on page 95; Daniel Martin (husband of Sally East) page 95 a few doors between Jackson East and Joseph East Jr; Samuel Worsham (husband of Frances East) page 95 a few doors between Jackson East and Joseph East Jr; Joseph East Jr page 95 with Joseph East (Sen) next door.

        Thomas (Sr) died in Pittsylvania Co in October 1849 at age 76 (per 1850 mortality schedule) and his wife Milly was found there in 1850, age 72, living with Mary East, probably a daughter-in-law, age 40, and next to Mrs Nancy Worsham, age 45, and Mrs Clara East (probably a widow), age 44. Thomas and Mildred had at least ten children, all born in Pittsylvania Co VA-

a.     son East, b 1802-1816 per 1820 census, died by 1840. He married Clara _____ in the 1830s. She was born in 1806 and in 1850 lived next door to her husband's mother Milly. Clara and her husband had three children before he died-

        1.     Lucy East, b 1840

        2.     John East, b 1840

        3.     Paulina East, b 1842

b.     Asa East, b 30 Jun 1803

c.     Philida East, b abt 1806

d.     son East, b 1805-1820 / William?, died by 1840. He married Patty or Patsy _____ and had three children before he died. It would appear that they married in 1830, and might have lived with her parents in 1830 since there is no census record of Patty's husband in 1830 in Pittsylvania Co. He then died by 1840. In 1840 there was an older male in Patty's home, but Patty was shown as being the head of the home. Perhaps this older male was her father. In 1850 Patty lived with John Lemuel East, her late husband's youngest brother. Patty was born in 1803 in VA. Patty's three children were all born in VA-

        1.     William East, b 1832 (27kn)

        2.     Fayette East, b 1834 (27kn)

        3.     Elizabeth East, b 1838 (27kn)

The placement of Patty / Patsy as a daughter-in-law of Thomas East is just a "best guess." There are no known court or marriage records of an older son of Thomas ever marrying Patty, but Patty's age and the fact that there was an unknown son of Thomas of about Patty's age, and she lived with a younger son of Thomas in 1850 indicates that Patty was Thomas' daughter-in-law. (27ikn)

e.     Thomas C East, b 1809

f.      son East, b 1811-1820, married Mary _____ and died in the late 1840s (perhaps of the same illness which killed his father in October 1849?) Mary was born in VA in 1810, so her husband was likely born close to 1811. Mary and their children lived with his mother in northern Pittsylvania Co in 1850. They had four children, all born in VA-

        1.     Alonzo East, b 1843, was in 1860 living with Joseph M Yeates (age 36) to learn the blacksmith trade. (27nq)

        2.     Philip East, b 1844 (27n)

        3.     Eliza East, b 1846 (27n)

        4.     George East, b 1849 (27n) (27in)

g.     Andrew Jackson East, b 1815

h.     dau East, b 1811-1820, was alive in 1820. No marriage for a young woman in the 1830s was found who could have been this daughter. Hence, she may have died in the 1820s.

i.      dau East, b 1811-1820, was alive in 1820. No marriage for a young woman in the 1830s was found who could have been this daughter. Hence, she may have died in the 1820s.

j.      John Leland Timberlake East, b 1819

The East marriages in Pittsylvania Co in the 1811 to 1850 years must have been either children of Thomas East or his two brothers Ezekiel East and / or Joseph East. (M90,M94,NL, EL,25m,27ikn)

        Thomas East Jr [E4c3b3], son of Thomas East Sr and Mary _____, was born about 1778 in Halifax Co VA (age 16 to 25 in 1800; birth place according to his daughter Ann in 1880). Soon before 1800 Thomas married a woman born between 1776 and 1794 in PA (birth place per daughter Ann). His wife was Anna Maria Hauser, married in Stokes Co NC in December 1799. The 1800 census of Stokes Co showed Thomas, his wife, and one son under age 10. In 1810 in Thomas' home were two boys under age 10, the eldest boy from the 1800 census was gone (died?), but there was a young adult male age 16-25, and Thomas, age 26-44; Thomas' wife was age 26-44, and there was a young female age 16-25, plus four young girls under age 10. It would appear that there was a younger newly married couple living with Thomas and his wife; perhaps he / she was Thomas' sibling and spouse. Since there were four young girls under age 10, perhaps one or two belonged to the second couple. Thomas's sister Polly had recently married in 1806, but she and her husband Henry Mosley lived in Surry Co in 1810. So this young couple could then be Thomas' younger brother John H East. He had married Mary Ann Burch in Surry Co on 11 October 1801, so some of these six children under age 10 in Thomas' home in 1810 could be John's and Mary Burch's children. John, though, worked and lived in Surry Co for years after.

        The 1820 census was more revealing: There was Thomas, age 45 or older (he was age 42 then); Thomas' wife was age 45 or older (she was age 41 then). (Maybe they were trying to impress the census taker?). Their nine children were: a son 16-25 (Asa); a daughter 16-25; a son 16-18 (Thomas H); a son age 10-15 (John H); two daughters age 10-15 (Anne R & Elizabeth?); two daughters under age 10; a son under age 10. There were three East marriages during the next ten years in Stokes Co: Ann Maria East married John Martin Lick on 24 April 1827; Ann Rebecca East married James E Wooten on 20 January 1830; and Elizabeth East married Martin Nelson on 14 December 1830.

        In the 1830 Stokes Co census, Thomas and his family were still there. In his home was Thomas, age 50s and his wife Anna was also age 50s (they were actually ages 52 and 51 then); and there were just one son age 10-14, and one daughter age 5-9 still at home. All the other children had left home by then. The 1840 showed no East names in Stokes Co.

        Thomas Jr was left 400 acres in his father's 1807 will. Thomas had one son by 1800 and about ten children total by 1820. Thomas' wife Anna Hauser was born on 28 August 1779 at Surry, Forsyth Co NC, daughter of George Hauser Jr and Magdalene Shore, and died about 1823 at Bethania, Stokes Co; the 1830 census showed a female in Thomas' home who was Anna's age. Probably they died in the 1840s in Stokes Co. Their children were-

a.     son East, b abt 1801, perhaps died by 810. (76eh)

b.     Asa East, b abt 1804 (76eh)

c.     Thomas H East, b abt 1805, moved to Hendricks Co IN by 1830. He was married and had a daughter by then. There was a Thomas H East who married Phebe Burns on 24 January 1828 in Morgan Co IN. These two counties are next to each other. The possible daughter was-

        1.     dau East, b 1826-1830 (738j) (738j)

d.     dau East, 1801-1804 (76hi)

e.     John Haywood East, b 20 Apr 1807

f.      dau East, 1801-1810 (76h)

g.     dau East, 1804-1810 (76hi)

h.     Anne Rebecca East, b 1809

i.      son East, b abt 1810 (76i)

j.      dau East, b 1811-1820 (76i)

k.     son East, b 1811-1820 (76ij)

m.    dau East, b 1811-1820 (76i)

n.     dau East, b 1821-1830 (76j)

In 1810 and 1820 there was a boy in Thomas' home, born between 1785 and 1794. If this was a son of Thomas, then he must have been from a prior marriage; otherwise he might have been a farm hand or an in-law. He was not in the 1800 census. (M63,76apehmij)

The young adults with East names who might be Thomas' children (or grandchildren?) and married between the 1820s to the 1850s in Stokes, Surry, and Patrick Counties were:

Nancy East & John Marsh, Su 13 Nov 1817; bond Minor Marsh.

Nancy East & William Oliver, Su 2 Nov 1826; bond John Moody.

Charity East & Hiram Linville, Su 24 Jan 1827; bond Hughes East.

Hughes East & Rosanna Hodge, Su 10 Aug 1827; bond Pleasant Venable; this couple was in Lawrence Co IN in 1840 and 1850. Hughes was born in 1806, and Rosanna was born in 1808, both in NC.

Nancy East & Joseph Arnold, Su 1 Sep 1827; bond Hughes East; this couple lived at Riley, Vigo Co IN in 1870. Nancy was born in 1798 in NC and Joseph in 1801 in VA.

John East & Elizabeth A Tilley, Su 18 June 1849; bond William East.

        Thomas East [E4a3a6d], son of Shadrack East and Mary Hundley, was born in 1790 in Laurens Co SC. By 1813 Thomas was married, and on 10 May 1814 he sold 15 acres, part of an original grant to John Hunter and conveyed to Shadrack East (Book K, Page 64). This was land bordered by Daniel Ravenal, Joseph Wilson, William Dunlap, and other land held by Thomas East. Thomas was probably not living away from his mother's home by 1810 since there were no heads of the family named Thomas East at the time, but by 1820 Thomas had left the state and moved to TN. In 1830 he was living in Giles Co (census page 167); the only other East families in Giles Co in 1830 were another older Thomas East [E1b] (page 201) whose wife was Sarah Graves, and Joseph East [E1b3] living close to his father, the nearby elder Thomas East. Thomas, son of Shadrack, married Nancy Ann _____, his second wife; his first wife was Mary Monroe, married in the early 1810s. Thomas and Nancy lived in Giles Co for at least twenty years where they raised their children. Nancy was born in TN about 1801 (SC per 1850 census). In 1860 she was living with her granddaughter Martha in Webster Co MO, next door to her stepson Shadrack. Thomas was in Lawrence Co AR in 1852 when he and Shadrack East rented land there. He was involved in a lawsuit with James R Taylor in 1855. Thomas died in the 1850s, probably in Lawrence Co. His known children were-

1.     Shadrack Monroe East, b 20 Oct 1814

2.     Martha H East, b 1816

3.     Susan Bazel East, b 1818

4.     Robert Allen East, b 1820

5.     dau East, b abt 1822

6.     Margaret Catherine East, b 1825

7.     Eliza Jane East, b abt 1827

8.     dau East, b abt 1832

9.     dau East, b abt 1834

10.   Nancy Elizabeth East, b 11 Jan 1836

11.   Don San Francisco East, b 1843 (L,JA,JW,W,15jkn, 3a,43q)

        Thomas East [E4c5a1e], son of Tarlton East Sr and Zilpha Priscilla Walker, was born 14 April 1793 in Laurens Co SC, grew up there and in KY, and married Mary Day on 20 August 1812 in Amite Co MS. She was born in 1792 in GA, daughter of Jonathon Day and _____ Trice. Thomas died 14 February 1815 in Feleciana Parish LA. After he died, Mary married John H Shropshire in Amite Co on 15 December 1816. Thomas and Mary had a son-

1.     John East, b 4 Dec 1812

With John H Shropshire, Mary had at least one child, a daughter Amanda C Shropshire, born 12 May 1833 in MS. (W,3e)

        Thomas East [E4c3b2a], son of Asa East and Mary _____ of Stokes Co NC, was born in Stokes Co in 1794. He apparently married twice, and neither wife was alive by 1850. The second wife was Fanny Welty and likely married Thomas after his second daughter was born. Fanny was born about 1805, daughter of Abraham Welty and Mary Roland, and died in Lincoln Co by 1850, probably at the birth of their youngest child. Since Abraham Welty was living in Simpson Co KY in 1820, and then in Lincoln Co MO in 1830, and since these are the counties where Thomas' siblings also lived, then it's probable that Thomas and Fanny married in either of those two counties. Since the marriage records of Lincoln Co still exist and there is no records there of Thomas and Fanny's marriage, then they must have married in Simpson Co, and then moved on to Lincoln Co soon after. They arrived in Lincoln Co by 1826. Thomas had three children by 1830, nine children by 1840, and thirteen by 1850, all but the eldest two were born in Lincoln Co MO-

From Goodspeed's 1888 History of Missouri, "In an interview published in the Herald [newspaper] in 1876 Mr. Howell stated that when he settled [in Lincoln Co in 1826] his neighbors were Armstrong Kennedy, John Hunter, Thomas East, John Wilson, Lemon and William Barker, brothers, an old man named Jennings, who soon left the county, and one Hatfield, who also left. These, with Kennedy, lived near Cuivre River."

In 1840 Thomas's parents-in-law lived in Bedford Twp not too far from Thomas' brother Larkin East [E4a3b1c] and Thomas East. (L,M92:5/87, M29,76eh,46jkn)

        Thomas East [E4a2a5a], son of William East and Rhoda Clark, was born in 1803 in Charlotte Co VA. He married Mary Roach in Charlotte Co on 1 October 1827. In 1830 he and his wife lived next door to John W Roach, who was in his late 30s in age. Thomas East's age was in the 20s, so in combination with the 1820 census, he would be in his late 20s. Mary was in her teens, so the neighbor John W Roach from the 1830 census could have been her father, even if she was 18 or 19 in 1830. They had no children by the summer of 1830. Mary was born in 1813, so was age 14 or so when she married Thomas. He was age 47 in 1850. In 1840 in their home in Charlotte Co was a teenage girl born between 1821 and 1830, plus a daughter-

1.     dau East, b 1821-1830. Since she was born by 1830 or before, according to the 1840 census, yet wasn't in her parents' home in 1830, then this daughter must have been born in 1830 after the census taker came and went. (JY,24k)

2.     Priscilla East, b 1836 (24kn)

There is a marriage record in Charlotte Co for a Mary C East on 21 April 1855 with William B Davidson. The bondsman was her father. Since Mary C was not shown in the household of Thomas East [E4a2a5a] in 1850, the father / bondsman Thomas East must be another person. But in 1860, living at Richmond, Henrico Co, was 36 year old William B Davidson and his 25 year old wife Mary P (Priscilla?) Davidson. At that time there were three Davidson children; two were of ages which matched Mary P's marriage date. They were living in a boarding house; William was a salesman. Thomas East was not found. In 1870 W B and Mary P East were still living at Richmond (now was a City-County), but he was a "city collector" (tax collector?). There were also three daughters at home. (24imjkn)

        Thomas East  [E4a2a7a], son of Joseph East and Mary Bell, was born 25 December 1803 in Pittsylvania Co VA. He married Elizabeth West on 23 December 1828 in Pittsylvania Co. She was born about 1810 in Pittsylvania Co, daughter of Joseph West and Catherine McHaney. They started their marriage living in Pittsylvania Co, but in 1840 were living in Campbell Co VA, then back in Pittsylvania Co in 1850. In 1860 and 1870 they were in Tazewell Co VA, and in 1880 they lived next door to their son Charles at Walker, Campbell Co TN. Thomas died at Fincastle, Campbell Co on 20 October 1890. They had twelve children, all born in the two first named counties-

Tazewell Co VA is about five counties west of Pittsylvania Co, and just south of the most southern county of WV.

From a newspaper clipping of about 1909 concerning the death of John Owen East: The subject of this sketch was born in Pittsylvania County, Va, September 20, 1829. He died April 19, 1909. He was married to Nannie A. Owen, January 27, 1853, who died two years ago. He survived by the following brothers and sisters: S. A. East, Abingdon, Va., W. T. East, Danville, Va., J. R. East, Lafollette, Tenn., J. M. East, Washington State, C. H. East, Tenn.: Mrs. S. J. Martin, West Va., Mrs. Francis A. Hudson, Tenn., Mrs. Martha E. Broils, Tenn. Also the following children: Alexander East, N. W. East, Mrs. J. A. Burch, Mrs. J. P. Lovelace, all of Pittsylvania County, Mrs. R. C. Adams, and Mrs. R. E. Cook, of Danville. He also leaves a large number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He was converted, and joined Greenfield Baptist church in 1859. From his conversion he was a regular attendant and an active worker in his church and Sunday school. He was the organizer and suberintendent of a large number of Sunday schools in the county. From these schools three baptist churches were organized. He was Sunday school superintendent for 40 years--an unusual record. Oh for more men like him in all our churches-- men who are active and consecrated in the Lord's work.

Brother East was a man of strong convictions, and possessed great will power. He ever dared to do the right even though he encountered strong opposition.

He exercised unusual energy and perseverance, both in his Christian duties and his daily pursuits. He was considerate and charitable. No one ever went away from him empty-handed if he could help them. He was ever ready to visit the sick and help the distressed in his ... (rest of article is missing). (N,EL,27mjn,25k, 720qr)

        Thomas East [E4a2a4e], son of Isaac East and Joyce Pemberton, was born about 1806 in Pittsylvania Co VA and died there in 1809. (M38)

        Thomas East [E1d9], son of Joseph East and Jane Rea of Henry Co VA, was born 23 December 1810 at "Duck River" in KY, and moved with his parents to Franklin Co AL when he was about nine or ten years old, where he grew up. On 24 August 1833 in Russellville, AL he married Mary Sugg. She was born 17 September 1807 in Montgomery Co NC, and died in Russellville on 18 August 1873. Thomas died on 30 March 1877 in Russellville; both are buried in the East family Cemetery in Franklin Co AL. Thomas and Mary had seven children-

        Thomas East [E4a2a4h], second son of that name of Isaac East and Joyce Pemberton, was born 24 April 1813 at Locust Grove in Adams Co OH and grew up there. He married Priscilla McCracken on 17 November 1833 in Adams Co. Priscilla was born 5 May 1817 in Adams Co, daughter of Henry McCracken and Ann Holman from PA. Thomas and Priscilla, in late 1851, moved to Taylorville, Christian Co IL and purchased a farm 2.5 miles west of town. During the next few years he moved to and purchased newer farmland nearby, then in the summer of 1864 he settled on an 80 acre farm south of Milmine, Piatt Co. Thomas East was a good cabinet maker and plied this craft to enlarge his income. He died 26 September 1864 at Milmine.

        Pricilla's parents had twelve children and a number were "bound out" to other families. Priscilla was bound to a family named Cannon. She had seven sons under 21 years old when her husband died but managed to hold her family together and made special sacrifices to insure her children's education. In 1880 Priscilla lived at Cerro Gordo in Piatt Co, and died there on 18 September 1897. She was buried in Greeenwood Cemetery. They had fourteen children-

The original "Schedule of a Common School" for the Milmine district in the school year which began 3 Oct 1864 (shortly after the death of Thomas East), showed that H A Stark was the teacher. Five sons of Priscilla East attended school during the term. Ulrich, 8 years old, and Oscar, 6, started on Oct. 3 and continued until school closed on 21 Mar 1865. Wheatly, 14, and Frank, 10, entered on Nov 4. Joseph, 16 began on Dec 5. Stillman Barber, who would become the father-in-law of Thomas Wheatley East [E4a2a3h9] years later, was treasurer of the school board. Attending as a pupil was Sarah C Barber, daughter of Stillman, who became the wife of Wheatley East.

Living next door to Thomas and Priscilla in 1850 was "Jos East" who was age 70, and born in VA (in 1780). Since we know that Thomas' father was born in 1776 and died in Adams Co OH in 1830, then this elder East man may be an uncle. There was one other East family in Adams Co in 1850: Elizabeth "Betsy" East, age 46, widow of Asa East [E4a2a3b] (Thomas' first cousin), and her three children John, Asa M, and Sarah, ages 20 to 10; all were born in Pittsylvania Co VA and lived at Bentonville in Adams Co.

Obituary found at The Daily Republican, Decatur, Illinois, dated 20 Sep 1897:

Death of Mrs. Priscilla East.

       Mrs. Priscilla East, who was in the 81st year of her age, died of heart failure at 10 o'clock Saturday night, September 18, at her home at Milmine. The deceased was the mother of the late Mrs. W.L. Hammer, and of Cincinnatus, Joseph and Oscar East. The funeral will be held tomorrow. The body will arrive in Decatur at 10 a.m. and will be taken direct from the train to Greenwood cemetery, where the interment will take place.

Another Obituary was:

Buried in Decatur

       The funeral of the late Mrs. Pricilla East, who died at Milmine, was held at the Church of God at that place yesterday. Rev. Mr. Waterbury, of the Methodist church of Cerro Gordo, conducted the services and the choir from the same church rendered music. The remains were brought to this city this morning and the burial took place at Greenwood cemetery. The relatives of the deceased from Milmine and Mrs. Kate S. East and son, Herbert, of Normal, Ill., were here to attend the funeral. (L,MV,CA,M38,275kn, 277su)

        Thomas East [E4a3x5], parents unknown, was born in 1815 in VA. He married Ms Jeston Cloud in Patrick Co VA on 26 December 1843. The marriage surety was Samuel G Staples and the minister was Joshua Adams. The old records are often hard to read, but this couple appears to be the Thomas East and wife Jestin who lived in nearby Henry Co in 1850 and 1860. They had three children by 1850 who were born after this 1843 marriage date. All were born in in VA: Jestin was born in 1810 (age 40 in 1850, 30 in 1860, 45 in 1870, 50 in 1880), and it appears that Jestin was married before to a Mr Johnston because there were two Johnston children living with them in 1850: these two Johnston children were John H, born in 1840, and William, born in 1842. In 1870 Thomas and Jestin lived in Roanoke Co at Cave Spring; in 1880 they were in Sullivan Co TN. Their East children were all born in Henry Co VA-

3.     George Thomas East, b 1848, was the head of his home in Sullivan Co TN in 1880, and many of his siblings and parents lived with him. George was not yet married. (28nq,370r,724s)

The two Johnston children were John H Johnston, born 1840, and William Johnston, born 1842. (30m,28n)

        Thomas East [E3f], son of William East and Sally Webb, was born in 1815 in Henry Co VA. He married Ms Jestin Cloud in Patrick Co VA on 26 December 1843. The old records are often hard to read, but this couple appears to be the Thomas East and wife Jestin who lived in nearby Henry Co in 1850 and 1860. They had three children by 1850 who were born after this 1843 marriage date. All were born in VA. Jestin was born in 1810 (age 40 in 1850, 30 in 1860, 45 in 1870, 50 in 1880), daughter of Martin Cloud and Mary Dickerson. It appears that Jestin was married before to a Mr Johnston because there were two Johnston children living with them in 1850: these two Johnston children were John H, born in 1840, and William, born in 1842. In 1870 Thomas and Jestin lived in Roanoke Co at Cave Spring; in 1880 they were in Sullivan Co TN. Thomas died after 1900 in Greene Co TN. Their East children, after the first son, were born in VA-

        Thomas East [E1b4a], son of John East and Elizabeth Payne, was born in 1817 in Henry Co VA, but grew up in Giles Co TN. He and Mary E Baldridge eloped and were married in May 1837, much against her father's will. In 1850 Thomas and his family were living in Maury Co, and he was a carpenter. Mary was born about 1820 in TN, daughter of Alexander Baldridge. According to Maury Co court records, Mary filed for divorce from Thomas on 25 October 1853, just 11 weeks after Thomas ran off with another woman. Mary's father gave her a slave and Thomas, being not only "heartless and a domestic tyrant," sold the slave against Mary's wishes and ran off with a Mrs Gunnel to Hamilton Co TN, where he and Mrs Gunnel were living at the time Mary filed for the divorce. Thomas then married(?) Margaret Pettit (the "other woman" from the divorce?) and by 1860 was living with Margaret in Lauderdale Co AL. Margaret was born in AL in 1835, daughter of Silus Pettit and Mary _____. Thomas died near Center Star, Lauderdale Co in the 1870s where he had moved after his divorce. In 1880 Margaret was widowed, living with her sisters in Lauderdale Co. It does not appear that Thomas and Margaret had children.

        Mary E Baldridge died in 1860, prior to June, probably in Maury Co because her estate was settled there on 8 September that year, and her son Henry was found living with his father in AL in June 1860. Part of the estate settlement was the payment of a bill for the boarding of the children, so it must have been soon after her death that the son moved to AL to be with his father. James P Baldridge was the administrator of Mary's estate. The only children mentioned in her estate settlement were Sarah J East and Henry T East, who each received half of her estate (sons R E East died in Maury Co in 1847, and Alex died in Maury Co in 1853). She and Thomas had four children-

1.     Sarah J East, b 1839

2.     Alexander S East, b 12 Feb 1842

3.     R E East, b 12 Aug 1844

4.     Henry T East, b Aug 1849

John A Baldridge, and perhaps James P Baldridge, were brothers of Mary Baldridge. Their father died in 1848. (M91,EP,JA,NL,10ync, 49Gqr)

        Thomas East [E4a3b1d4], probably a grandson of Asa East Sr and Mary _____ of Stokes Co NC, was born about 1830, married Sarah J Brazil in Lincoln Co MO on 5 August 1853. This would likely put his birth date at around 1830. He was not found on the 1850 nor 1860 census. (46m)

        Thomas East [E4a2a7a8], son of Thomas East and Elizabeth West, was born in 1843 in Pittsylvania Co VA. He was not named in his brother John E East 1909 obit as a living brother, so Thomas had probably died by then. (N,27n)
