        Thomas Jefferson East [E4c3a6c6], son of Joel East and Sarah Bulla, was born 24 May 1833 in Cass Co MI. In 1860 he lived with his wife Elizabeth _____ at Calvin, Cass Co. She was born in 1837 in OH and they had three children then. In 1870 they lived at Geneva, Van Buren Co, the county immediately north of Cass Co, and remained there for many years. So far, Thomas' wife's name had been consistently Elizabeth, born in OH about 1837. Then in 1880 her name became Lucy, but the birth date was the same, as was the birth state. Their four children from the 1870 census were now gone, and in 1880 three younger children were in their home. Thomas and Elizabeth were still at Geneva in 1900, and his wife's name was now Elizabeth again, and she was still born about 1836 in OH. So apparently her name was Lucy Elizabeth _____. Tom died in Van Buren Co on 6 June 1905. After 1900, no East names were found in Van Buren Co. He and Elizabeth had nine children, with six still alive in 1900; the first three were born at Calvin, Cass Co. Their children were-

        Thomas Jefferson East [E1b12a], son of Barzley Graves East and Nancy Jones, was born 4 December 1833 in Giles Co TN and grew up in McNairy Co. He was a farmer and married Nancy Louisa Tulley about 1870. Lou was born in (Henderson Co?) TN in January 1846, daughter of Felix P Tulley and his first wife (of three); in 1880 she and Jeff were living near Arkabutla, DeSoto Co MS (near Coldwater; see the biography of his brother John Edwin East), where they had been for about ten years. Jeff's brother Henry was living with him in 1880. Jeff died on 13 February 1897. Lou then moved to Hunt Co TX where she married Calvin Acie Atherton on 27 August 1899. He was born at Milburn, Ballard Co KY in August 1849, son of Charles M Atherton and Nancy Jayne Rudd. Why Lou chose to live in Hunt Co is not known; perhaps it was because her eldest son Bob had already established himself there. Lou lived next door or lived with her son Joe in 1920 and in 1930. Her second husband Calvin Atherton died in 1931, probably in Hunt Co. He was living with his daughter Mildred K Atherton (Mrs William A Bench) in 1930 in Hunt Co. Jeff and Lou had five children by 1880, but nine in all by 1897-

Felix P Tully lived in Henderson Co in 1850, in Carroll Co in 1860; and in DeSoto Co MS in 1870 and 1880. Nancy Lou Tulley's full brother Lemuel Britton Tulley, lived much of his married life in Dyer Co TN.

Felix P Tulley was married at least three times. The first wife, and Nancy Louisa Tulley's mother is unknown, but they lived in either Carroll Co or in McNairy Co; wife #2 was Didema, born in TN in 1833; wife #3 was Susan, born in AL in 1842. Feliz was born in AL in 1827. He married his first wife and lived in TN; their first set of children were Lemuel B Tulley, born in 1845, and Nancy Louisa, born in 1848. When his first wife died, he left his two children with his parents William B and Sarah Tulley in McNairy Co TN to be cared for. Felix soon after married Didema Jane, wife #2 and they lived in Carroll Co TN in 1860, now with Lemuel B and Nancy, plus the second set of children who were Sarah T, born 1849, Mary L, born 1851, and Albert H, born in 1857. In 1870 Felix Tulley and his family lived in DeSoto Co MS. His wife was not shown in the census (there was just a blank line in her place), and the children in his home were Lemuel B, Sarah T, Mary L, all three born in TN, then Albert H was born in MO, then Columbus, John, Felix, all born in TN, then the youngest was Robert Tulley, born in MS in 1868. In 1880 Felix Tully (senior) was still in Desoto Co, now married to Susan. The children in their home were Felix, now age 12, Robert Lee, age 11, William, age 7, Powell, age 3, nephew R E, age 16, and niece Minnie, age 17. All young people from Felix (Jr) to Minnie were born in TN. So this Tulley family and the Tom Jefferson East family seemed to stay together over the years.

Some children of Calvin Atherton, from his marriage to Sarah Francis Morgan before marrying Mrs Lou East, were: Mary A, born 1870 in Ballard Co KY; Mildred K "Cattie", born in January 1874 in Ballard Co KY; Charles, born May 1878 in Ballard Co KY; Eunice, born 22 July 1887, died 5 September 1972; Emma Ethel, born 9 October 1891 in TX, died 27 July 1909, and was buried with her mother in East Mount Cemetery at Greenville; and Lloyd Atherton, born in October 1997 in TX.. Eunice Atherton married Joseph Lemuel East [E1b12a7], shown above as a son of Thomas J East and Lou Tulley. Calvin Atherton's first wife was Sarah F _____, born 14 February 1852 and died 30 October 1898; she also was buried in East Mount Cemetery. (B,L,K, EP,M, 15k,13n,35rs, 85muw,353nqs,352f)

        Thomas Jefferson East [E4c3b4f6], son of Thomas Pinckney East and Sarah Jane Carmichael, was born 9 July 1844 in Monroe Co IN, and moved with his parents to Greene Co in 1845 where he grew up. He was graduated from Bartlet Commercial College of Cincinnati in 1865, and married Susie Ella Van Slyke in Greene Co on 30 October 1866. She was born in IN in January 1851, daughter of James VanSlyke from NY and America E Ferguson. Thomas was a school teacher for a short while, then was the Greene Co Assistant Recorder. After then he worked as an agent for the Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad. They moved to Indianapolis after the early 1880s where he became involved in real estate. In 1918 Thomas lived at Bloomington with his daughter Cora after Susie died at Bloomington on 8 August 1915 at age 64. Thomas died at Bloomington on 16 March 1920.

        Thomas Jefferson East [E4c3a6g12], son of Jacob Talbot East and Emeline Odell, was born 12 February 1856 in Cass Co MI, probably near the town of Porter.

They married when she was age 16, about 1880, and had three children by 1910, with two still living. Tom was still living when his brother Owen died on 23 February 1917, and was then living at Logansport, Cass Co IN. (359Nqr,631s,572v)

        Thomas Martin East [E1b11], son of Thomas East and Sarah Graves, was born 15 June 1810 in Henry Co VA. His name was written as "Tho Martin East" in his mother's bible, so may have been referred to within the family as "Martin." He may have been named after his brother Thomas Massey East, although there was no notation in his mother's 1849 bible of Thomas' older brother having died. Thomas married Sarah Jane Alderson in Maury Co TN on 4 October 1829; Mr J H Walker was the bondsman. The National Banner Newspaper on the 17th of October noted this marriage and referred to Thomas as "Capt. Thomas East." Sarah Jane was born in TN about 1812. They lived in Waynesboro (civil district 4, since he was on the 1838 tax list) after their marriage, until sometime in the 1840s when they moved to the Memphis area. According to Columbia, TN newspapers, Thomas was a justice of the peace from 1833 to 1836 (there was a J J Alderson, a minister or justice of the peace in Maury Co in 1823), and Thomas was also appointed postmaster at Waynesboro in place of James C Alderson who had resigned in April 1836. By the time Sarah and Thomas had moved to Memphis, he was a bookkeeper. Thomas was shown in the Wayne Co court records of 12 February 1853 in a lawsuit over an unpaid note which Thomas owed. Therefore, he must have moved to Memphis after that date, where he died about 1860. Sarah Jane was still living in 1878, at Holly Springs MS. Their children were-

a.     son East, born 1830s, probably a twin, dead by 1878.

b.     dau East, born 1830s, probably a twin, dead by 1878.

c.     Thomas East, b 1838

d.     Napoleon East, b 1848 (M93,N,B,EE,EP,NL,JY, 15j,11kyt,10my, 14n)

        Thomas Massey East [E1b6], son of Thomas East and Sarah Graves, was born 2 March 1799 in Henry Co VA. There was no mention of him in his mother's 1849 bible other than his birth. Therefore Thomas may have died by 15 June 1810 when his brother Thomas Martin East was born. (B,EP,NL,JY)

        Thomas Milton East [E4c5a3b2], son of Joel East and Rebecca Williams, was born 16 September 1830 in Laurens Co SC.

The middle initial "P" was noted in several documents to distinguish him from his cousin and uncle. Thomas was a minor on 21 June 1831 because the Pittsylvania Court appointed his father as Thomas' guardian concerning an inheritance. He was married on 2 December 1839 in Pittsylvania County by William H Plunkett to Martha J Lain. In 1840 they lived in Pittsylvania Co and their neighbors were David Barber, Hyram Lane, John Singleton, Joseph Adams, and John Blanks. Martha was born in May 1813 in VA, daughter of Pleasant Laine and Elizabeth Crowder. Martha was an older teen in 1840, age 26 in 1850, 36 in 1860, 68 in 1880, and age 87 in 1900. In 1841 Thomas and Francis Blank were charged with fighting, but the charges were dropped because the fight was by consent. They were again charged with fighting later that year, and this time Blanks was fined one cent, while Thomas was fined $7.50.

        In a 9 December 1874 lawsuit in Pittsylvania Co, Thomas's wife "Martha East" was one of many heirs of the late Pleasant Lain and wife Elizabeth who sued the administrator of Pleasant's estate. One of Martha's sisters was Cola Lain, who had married Francis Blank, Thomas' fighting opponent of 1841.

        In May of 1849 Thomas and Martha lived along Buck Tree Creek, and in the 1850 census they had the same neighbors as in 1840. They had seven children by the time Thomas died in 1865 in Pittsylvania Co. In 1880 Martha and her three youngest children were in Halifax Co, but in 1900 she was living back in Pittsylvania Co with her eldest daughter Betsy. Martha J Lane died in the 1900s and was buried in Lane Cemetery near Straightstone. Martha's and Thomas' children were all born in Pittsylvania Co-

The marriage records of Thomas and Martha shows her name to be Lane, yet in the 1840 thru 1860 census records, all the neighbors with that name spelled it Lain. Her father's name was spelled Pleasant Layne in his 23 December 1805 Pittsylvania Co marriage record. There were two other early Pittsylvania marriage records with men named Thomas East: on 22 December 1828 a Thomas East married Elizabeth West, and on 4 September 1837 a Thomas C East married Matilda Shackleford. In 1840 there were three Thomas East homes in Pittsylvania Co. One was a Thomas East Jr on census page 86, who was born in the 1800s; one was Thomas East Sr on page 85, born in the 1770s (no doubt Ezekiel East's brother). And the third Thomas East was on page 153, and next door to Hyram Lane, same age as Thomas, born in the 1810s. (EL,W, 27ijmknq, 26s)

        Thomas Pinckney East [E4c3b4f], son of John H East and Mary Ann Burch, was born 29 January 1814 in Surry Co NC.

        Thomas Randolph East [E4a2a4h7], son of Thomas East and Priscilla McCracken, was born 5 April 1846 at Locust Grove, Adams Co OH, died there on 7 October 1849. He was buried in Locust Grove Cemetery just north of Peebles. His gravestone says "Son of Thomas & Prescilla / died 7 October 1849 / 3 y 6 m 2 d."

        Thomas Reuben East [E1b4b1a], son of John Harston East and Charlotte Frances Montague, was born 6 September 1862 at Savannah, TN and grew up there. He had just turned 24 when he was elected to be the constable at Savannah; in 1889 he worked for the Savannah Lumber Company, and made a business trip to Mansfield, AR in March 1890. It was at Mansfield where he married Minnie Dee Stebbins, on 24 February 1891. She was born at Rushford, MN on 17 March 1868, daughter of Sylvester Spencer Stebbins and Martha Smith. Thomas and his new family moved to Savannah in June 1893, then moved on to Greenville, Hunt Co TX by 1895 where he bought and ran a grocery store. In 1918 they bought a farm near Greenville, but still stayed in the grocery business. In the 1980s many of their descendants were living there. Greenville was their home until they died, he on 14 January 1935 and she at the age of 72 in 1940, both at Greenville. They are buried at Greenville. They had five children-

        Thomas S East [E4a3b1d2a], son of Albis H East and Polly Morris, was born in 1843 in Lincoln Co MO. In 1850, after his father had died soon before, Thomas lived with his Morris grandparents in Lincoln Co. They were Jonah Morris and Jane Pack, and were born in VA in 1803 and 1801. What became of Thomas' mother is unknown, since her gravestone says she died in 1884. Thomas lived with his grandparents for ten to twenty years.

        There is a gravestone in the Old Morris Cemetery, a private family Cemetery located in a wooded area about 1,200 feet south of the larger Broyles Cemetery, in the northern side of Briscoe in Lincoln Co. On that stone is the inscription showing Polly East, born 10 September 1824, died 27 March 1884, daughter of Jonah Morris and Jane Pack, married A H East on 2 September 1841, "Her sickness sore with patience bore, Physicians tried in vain, till God was pleased to heed her call, and freed her from her pain." So from this stone we have the names and clue to the connection between Thomas S East and the Morris family. Since Polly East Morris was born in 1824, she was easily of age to be the mother of Thomas S East. And we know that Polly Morris married Albis H East in Lincoln Co on 2 September 1941. So Thomas S East must be their son.

        Thomas S had married Luclema "Lou" Ann Wheeler by 1869. She was born in MO in September 1849; her father was Charles Wheeler, a hotel keeper from NH, and her mother was Pamelia _____ from KY. Thomas died in the early 1880s, and Lou married John D Carter about 1884, and he died in the 1900s; in 1910 Lou was a widow again, living at Troy in Bedford Twp, Lincoln Co with her bachelor son Charles W. Lou and Thomas had three children-

1.     Clemma East, b 1872, married _____ Garner between 1885 and 1900 in or near Lincoln Co MO. She and her husband divorced by 1920 and Clemma moved in with her mother living at Troy in Bedford Twp, Lincoln Co. (46suw)

2.     Charles Wheeler East, b Jul 1875, never married and lived with his mother for over forty years. He was a salesman. (46suw)

3.     Morris R East, b Aug 1877, appears to be the Morris M R East, born in 1879 in MO, and who was living St Louis MO in 1910. He was then still single and was a dentist. He had three lodgers living in his home. (46su,175v)

In 1880, living in Thomas' home was his widowed mother-in-law Permelia Wheeler, age 61, and born in KY of VA parents. Lou's child with John Carter was Ernest E Carter, born in November 1884 in Lincoln Co MO. (46mcnqsuvw)

        Thomas S East [E13a1k11], son of Anderson R East and Mary A Goings, was born 8 June 1849 in Delaware Co IN. He married Barbara Jane Bronnenberg about 1874 and they lived at Union, Madison Co IN. She was born in June 1851 in Madison Co, daughter of Jacob Bronnenberg and Nancy Agnes Coburn. Both of Barbara's parents were long time residents of Madison Co. In 1910 Barbara and Thomas lived at Anderson, and their close neighbor was Mary L Burnett, widow of Thomas' brother David C East. Thomas died on 28 August 1913 and was buried in Maplewood Cemetery at Anderson, Madison Co. Barbara moved to Glendale, CA and lived within a city block of many of her of siblings and children. She died there on 30 August 1931 and was also buried in Maplewood Cemetery with Thomas. In 1930 she was still at Glendale, living with her daughter Grace (at 341 W California Ave, about a mile northwest of the 1920 home). They had five children, all born in IN-

a.     Grace East, b Sep 1874 (age 33 in 1910). She married Francis M George in Madison Co on 1 September 1909 and soon after they moved to south central Chicago.

Glenn applied for a US Passport on 5 April 1931 in order to attend a National Retail Merchant Association convention in France, Belgium, and Italy. He planned to sail to Europe on the SS Olympic out of New York City later that month. He and Lena returned from that trip on 1 July 1921 at New York City, and claimed that they lived at Henderson, Rush Co IN; they sailed from Cherbourg on the SS Adriatic. Five years later, in March 1926, Lenna and her daughter took an ocean cruise to Burmuda and returned. This time Lenna gave her correct birth date. The daughter was-

        1.     Virginia E Gates, b 4 Dec 1905 at Anderson, IN. She married John Stark Gorby on 26 January 1926 at New York City, and died on 6 June 1986 at Old Greenwich, Fairfield Co CT.

        Thomas married Catherine Sarah "Kate" Barber on 31 December 1873 at Milmine. She was born 20 April 1852 near Brighton, Jersey Co IL, daughter of Stillman Barber (from RI) and Mary Ann Clark (from KY), and was a bookkeeper in her father's store.

Early in 1876, Thomas, Kate, and their son Victor moved to Texas, probably to be near Stillman Barber, who had gone there earlier. It took Thomas only a few weeks to decide against life in the Lone Star State. They returned to IL and resumed farming one and one-quarter miles east of Milmine.

        Una Mae East [E1d1a8e], daughter of Robert Lee East and Q'Jette Boone, was born 4 August 1911 in Pontotoc, MS.

1.     Thomas Parker Greer, b 8 Apr 1953 (NF,495wf)

        Unknown East of Lincoln Co MO [E4a3b1d], was a probable son of Asa East Sr and his wife Mary of Stokes Co NC (was he Asia East of 1830 Lincoln Co MO and of 1840 Williamson Co IL?), and was born in 1803 or 1804. He was a parent of young adult East people who married and lived in Lincoln Co MO in the 1840-1860 years. There were a few young East adults in Lincoln Co MO who seem to have lost their parents by 1850. This is just a temporary "parent" biography in which to assign these young adults, so that all data on them is centered in this one biography for comparison. If the following children belonged to this Unknown East, then we can see that he followed the patterns of his brothers and sister Sarah East: If he was a son of Asa (Sr) and Mary of Stokes Co NC, he was born in Stokes Co, moved to either KY and / or Lincoln Co MO in the early to mid 1820s, and then in the 1830s probably moved to Williamson Co IL, where he likely died by 1850. His children did live their early adult years in Lincoln Co. Those East children were-

1.     George Brazil East [E4a3b1d1], b 1818

2.     Albis H East [E4a3b1d2], married Polly Morris in Lincoln Co MO on 2 September 1841, so was probably born about 1820 in Stokes Co NC. Polly was born 10 September 1824, daughter of Jonah Morris and Virginia Jane Pack, snd died 27 March 1884. She was buried in Old Morris Cemetery in Lincoln Co. Albis apparently died in the 1840s in Lincoln Co. Polly and Albis had a son who was living with his Morris grandparents in Lincoln Co in 1850. He was-

        a.     Thomas East, b 1843 in Lincoln Co MO. (46mnc)

3.     Ann Eliza East [E4a3b1d3], b 1822, married James R Cox in Lincoln Co MO on 5 October 1843. Of the four elder East men (Asa, Joseph, Larkin, and Thomas), only Thomas had a daughter of age to marry James Cox in 1843, and Eliza's birth date of 1822 (per 1850, 1870, and 1880 censuses) in KY, does fit the 5-to-9 age of Thomas' daughter shown in 1830, but that daughter was Frances, who was still living with Thomas in 1850. Thomas had two daughters in 1830 who were under age 5, so neither of them could be Eliza; in addition, those two younger daughters were Elizabeth and an unknown daughter of about the same age. Furthermore it would be unlikely that Thomas would name two daughters Elizabeth and Eliza. Hence, Eliza must be another daughter of a yet unknown East man who produced five children born in the 1818-1831 years who lived in Lincoln Co, and who probably died in the 1830s.

Eliza's husband James was born in MO in 1825. In 1850 they were living next door to Joseph East [E4a3b1g], and in 1860 they were still in that neighborhood near Joseph. James died in the 1860s in Bedford Twp, Lincoln Co because in 1870 Eliza was shown without a husband living in Bedford Twp, close to Joseph East, and with five of her children. They had eight children, all born in Lincoln Co-

        a.     John G Cox. b Sep 1844 in Lincoln Co MO. He married Eliza M Slavens in Lincoln Co on 8 July 1861. She was born in Lincoln Co in March 1837, daughter of Thomas Slavens and Lucy _____. John and Eliza lived in Lincoln Co in Bedford Twp for years, but in the last years of their life they lived in Hawk Point Twp. They had five children, all born in Bedford Twp, Lincoln Co-

                1.     Silas R Cox, b May 1863, married Cora _____ about 1889. She was born in May 1875. They had four children by 1910, the first three born in Bedford Twp, and the last in Elkhorn Twp, Warren Co-

                        a.     Ethel Cox, b Feb 1891 (46u,181v)

                        b.     Myrtle Cox, b Oct 1892 (46u,181v)

                        c.     Martha Cox, b Apr 1895 (46u,181v)

                        d.     Leslie F Cox (son), b 1904 (181v) (46ru,181v)

                2.     Lucy K Cox, b 1864, was named after her maternal grandmother, and probably had died by 1900. (46nru)

                3.     Mary F Cox, b Nov 1868, had not married by 1900. (46ru)

                4.     Anna E Cox, b Dec 1869, had not married by 1910. (46ruv)

                5.      Victory Cox, b Apr 1876, had not married by 1900. (46u)

John G Cox's cousin Mary East [E4a3b1g1] married Thomas M Slavens, brother of John's wife Eliza M Slavens. (46nqruv)

        b.     Mary S Cox, b 1846 in Lincoln Co MO, probably married in the 1860s. (46nq)

        c.     Eliza A Cox, b Jan 1850 in Lincoln Co MO, probably married in the 1860s. (46nq)

        d.     James A Cox, b 1854 (46qr)

        e.     Silas R Cox, b Mar 1856, married Mary E _____ about 1889. She was born in MO in July 1870. They lived in Bedford Twp in 1900 and in Clark Twp in 1910 and afterwards. Silas and Mary had four children, all born in Lincoln Co-

                1.     James H Cox, b Jul 1891 in Bedford Twp (46uw)

                2.     Maggie J Cox, b Oct 1895 in Bedford Twp, probably married in the 1910s. (46uv)

                3.     Silas Edgar Cox, b May 1897 in Bedford Twp, probably married in the 1910s. (46uv)

                4.     Arlie J Cox, b Oct 1908 in Clark Twp, Lincoln Co (46vw) (46qrsuv)

        f.     Margaret M Cox, b Nov 1858, married Tandy Jones in Lincoln Co on 1 September 1881. He was born in IL of KY parents in October 1859. They settled in Loutre Twp, Audrain Co MO (two counties to the west of Lincoln Co) and were then into the 1910s until Tandy Died. Afterwards, Margaret moved to Hayti Twp, Pemiscot Co. She and Tandy had a large family of nine children, all born in MO-

                1.     Eddie E Jones, b Aug 1882, became a medical doctor, married in 1909, and lived in Lewis Twp, New Madrid Co MO. His wife was Anna L _____ from Canada. She was born in 1881. They had a son-

                        a.     Charles E Jones, b 1908. (180v) (179u,180v)

                2.     child Jones, b & d 1882-1900 (179u)

        g.     Pinkney M Cox, b 1861 in Lincoln Co MO. She married her cousin Henry Frank Hiler [E4a3b1b8a] on 16 October 1881 in Lincoln Co. See her biography under his name. (L,46rs)

        h.     Nancy Ann Cox, b 1863 in Lincoln Co MO. (46rs) (46jkmnqrs)

4.     Thomas East [E4a3b1d4], b c1830, married Sarah J Brazil in Lincoln Co MO on 5 August 1853. This would likely put his birth date at around 1830. (46m)

5.     Mary East [E4a3b1d5], b 1831 in MO, married William P Bain in Lincoln Co on 18 February 1855. Mary was born in MO in 1831 (age 29 in 1860, age 24 in 1870); William was born in 1834 in MO (age 18 in 1850, age 26 in 1860, age 37 in 1870, and age 47 in 1880). William was a son of John H Bain and Mary _____ of SC and NC who lived in Lincoln Co MO for many years. Of the two Bain / Bane families in Lincoln Co in 1850 (John H and Eli), only John H Bane was old enough in 1850 to have a son of age to marry in 1855, and he had a son named William, age 18 in 1850. The problem is that we don't know who Mary was a daughter of. Of the four known East men in Lincoln Co in 1850 who were of age to have a daughter Mary who married in 1855 (Mary would have had to be born by 1840), only Joseph East had a daughter named Mary who could have married in 1855, and only Thomas had a daughter who had a name commonly used with the name Mary. Thomas East had a 21 year old daughter Elizabeth in 1880, born in MO; Asa's eldest daughter was Anna, age 10 and born in IL; Larkin had three daughters, Martha, Susan, and Dy, ages 17, 15, and 13; Joseph had an 11 year old daughter Mary, born in KY. The Mary who married William P Bain was born in MO, or so she reported. All these Bain / Bane and East families lived close to each other in Lincoln Co. With very erratic ages given to the census takers over the years, the best choice for the father of Mary East who married William P Bain in 1855 was the daughter of Joseph. Actually, he is the only choice, other than finding the unknown brother of Joseph, Thomas, Larkin and Asa.

Mary and William lived in Lincoln Co where he was a farmer and a wagon maker, and where they had two children by 1860. Then in the early 1860s they moved to IL and had a son, then moved to Little Black Twp, Randolph Co AR where they were in 1870. William P lived in Clay Co AR in 1880, as did his son William; Clay Co is the county to the east of Randolph Co. Mary died in the 1870s, and William then took Katherine _____ as his next wife about 1877. She was another Missouri girl, born in 1849. And William reported that his father was born in KY, and his mother in SC. William P and Mary had three sons-

        a.     Justin Bain, b 1856 in Lincoln Co MO, was probably dead by 1880. (46q,66r)

        b.     William Peter Bain, b Feb 1860, lived in Clay Co AR in 1880 with his young wife. She was born in MO in 1865. (46q,66r, 61s)

        c.     George Bain, b 1864 in IL, grew up in Randolph Co AR, and was probably dead by 1880 since he was not found in AR nor IL in 1880. (66r)

Living a few doors away in 1860 was George B East and his wife Mary. William P Bain had a daughter Elizabeth, born in 1878 in Clay Co AR, with his second wife. (46mq, 66r,161s)

Comment: Perhaps the name of this mystery East father is Elisha East. That seems to be a popular name for the sons of the unknown East male's brothers' sons. (JY)

        Ulrich Curtis East [E4a2a4h12], son of Thomas East and Priscilla McCracken, was born 1 September 1856 near Taylorville, Christian Co IL. He attended Illinois State Normal School, and taught from the age of 16. He lived at Buda, IL in 1876 when he wrote to his brother Wheatley. Soon after Ulrich moved to Sacramento, CA, perhaps to take a teaching job, or for his health. Ulrich died on 16 September 1879 at Sacramento. He was buried in Sacramento's Old City Cemetery. His gravestone says "East, Ulric C / 25 y 15 d / Sep 16 1879." Ulrich never married. Ulrich's brother Oscar said Ulrich was the "brightest of the East boys." (M38,275q)

        Upham East was named as a member of Beaver Creek Church in February 1787, in Henry Co VA. (M87)

        Ural Duff East [E1d1a5a], son of John G East and Ida Franklin, was born 28 July 1891 at Denmark, Lafayette Co MS.

He married Lowdell Lauderdale. She was born 2 June 1891 in Lafayette Co MS, daughter of Charles C Lauderdale and M M _____, and died 3 February 1981. Ural died 3 December 1933. They had five children, all born in Lafayette Co MS-

1.     James Odum East, b 24 Feb 1914, died at Randolph, Pontotoc Co on 2 January 1998. He probably married Sarah S _____. She was born 18 December 1912 and died 30 July 2005. She and James were the only two East names who lived at Randolph Co and drew SS Retirement checks. (Z,488wf)

One daughter was nicknamed "Puda" and the other as "Doll." (M,NF, RW,488uwf)

        Urban East [E4c6c2d], son of North East and Karenhappuch Peyton, was born in 1795 in KY. He was named in his brother Daniel's 1834 will. Urban was found in Ralls and Macon Counties MO in 1830, 1840 and 1850 (Macon Co is at the northwest corner of Monroe Co), married but apparently had no children. He and his wife took in two children with a different family name in the 1840s (Sally Pinnock, age 17, born in MO, and Eliza Pinnock, age 9, born in MO). Urban's wife was Catherine ____, born in 1805 in TN. (M92, 125h)

        Ursula East [E4c3a4], daughter of William East and Mary Cannon, was born about 1762 in Charlotte Co VA. Her birth year is often given as "about 1760," but from the birth dates of the youngest of her children, Ursula would have had children at age 51 if she was born in 1760. More likely, Ursula was born in 1762, and was age 17 or 18 when married. She married William Venable Jr about 1780 in Surry Co NC. He was born 16 September 1760 in Frederick Co VA, son of William Venable and Margaret _____. In early 1815 there were numerous court records in Surry Co where William was on jury duty. He died soon after 23 March 1822 in Surry Co NC when he wrote his will. Witnesses to William's will were David Bray and John Ryan; William's brother John Venable was named as executor. William's will stated that Ursula was to receive all the property, and after her death the residue and remainder was to be equally divided among their children. The children were not named in William's will, but from deed records, it was clear that there were twelve children who reached adulthood because the deeds often stated "1/12th part of land inherited from Wm. Venables deceased." The letter S at the end of the Venables family named was pretty much ignored with the generation of William Venable Jr.

        Ursula died 2 December 1830 in Surry Co, and at the time was living with her eldest son. William and Ursula lived in Surry Co in the latter years of the 1780s when the state census was taken (they then had only one son in their home), and lived in Stokes Co NC in 1790 and 1800. On 9 November 1787 William Venable (assumed to be the father and not the son) was granted two parcels of land on Little Yadkin River from the state; one was 200 acres next to land he already owned, and the other was 400 acres. The 400 acres was where Lick Branch meets the Little Yadkin. William Sr sold 100 acres of that 400 acre parcel to William Steel on 15 February 1788; William could not sign his name, but instead made an X mark. A witness to this sale was John Venable. This William Steele was the husband of William Venable Jr's sister Rebecca. William Sr sold the remaining 300 acres to John Venable for £45 on 12 September 1788. In this second sale, witnesses were William Steel and William Venable (Jr). William (the seller) made his X mark. The William Venable who witnessed could not have been the same one, so must have been his son, Ursula's husband; both William's could not sign their names. There was another 200 acrees granted from the state to William Venable on 18 May 1789 on the south fork of the Little Yadkin River. He sold this 200 acres to Elijah Roward for £100 on 27 February 1793; this time he actually signed his name, and witnesses to this sale were John Venable (Wm Venable Sr's son) and William Steele.

        The only adult William Venable men during the years of these land deeds were Ursula's husband William Venable Jr, and his father; if Ursula's son was a William Venable, he would have only been a small boy at this time. William, Ursula's husband, must have grown up in Surry Co because his father William (Sr) took out a mortgage there on his home on 4 March 1774, which was due and payable on 1 March 1775. The mortgage was for £6/16. William Venable (Sr), on 21 February 1774 was renting land on the Little Yadkin from Jacob Lash and wife Anna, so the mortgage might have been his first home purchase in the area. William Venable (Sr) was a lieutenant in the 1774 Surry Co Militia.

        In the NC state census of about 1785, in William Venable Jr's home there were just three people: William Jr, a male under age 21 (son Pleasant), and one female (Ursula East). Next door were William Venable Sr, and William Jr's brother John Venable. In the 1790 federal census, it appears that the census taker started to re-write his report with names in alphabetical order, then gave up after a short while. The pages the Venable and East names are in actual order of visit. William Sr's home was skipped in this census, and William Venable (Jr) was the one living next to John Hampton and fifteen families from Thomas East. In the 1790 Stokes Co NC census in William Venable's home were one adult male (William Jr), two sons (Pleasant and Thomas Frederick), and three females (wife Ursula and daughters Sarah and Margaret). William Venable's close neighbors were John Boyles, Thomas East, Henry Arnold, and Jacob Spainhaur, all names tied to East and / or Venable names in later marriage records. Close neighbors of John Venable (brother of William Venable Sr) were Joseph East, Isham East, William East, John Fitzpatrick, and William Arnold.

        In 1800 William Venable and his uncle John Venable lived in Stokes Co, next door to each other. The eldest males in both homes were born between 1756 and 1774. We know that since William and Ursula did not marry until about 1780, the John Venable in the 1800 census cannot be his son. Hence, he must still be uncle John Venable. William's wife was born the same years as William, but John's wife was younger, born 1775 to 1784. She was Mary Curry. William had six or seven sons in his home and two daughters in 1800. John had three sons and four daughters. These two men were the only Venable names in this part of NC in 1800. Uncle John Venable had nine children born between 1785 and 1805, all in Stokes Co. He died in 1839 and his wife Mary died in 1842.

        William and Ursula lived in the part of Surry Co which became Stokes Co in 1789, then soon after 1800 moved to Surry Co and lived there afterwards. There was a Daniel Venable in 1810 in Surry Co; he was age 16 to 25 with a wife of the same age, and one daughter under age 10. Hence, he was recently married, and was probably a son of William Venable's brother John. Daniel was on census page 670, while William and Thomas were on page 636. William's brother John Venable from Stokes Co in 1800 was not in either county in 1810, so must have lived with his grown children, or with his uncle Richard in Lincoln Co.

        William and Thomas were two doors from each other in 1810, with Miner Marsh between them. William was born before 1766, and Thomas between 1766 and 1784. William had eleven children with birth years ranging between 1785 to 1810; Thomas had no children (he married in December 1809). Daniel Venable lived quite a distance away in Surry Co, and was a young man born between 1785 and 1794; his wife was the same age, and they had a daughter under age 10. Since the names of the children of the elder John Venable from Stokes Co are known, and Daniel was not one of them, then this Daniel in Surry Co must be William's son.

        In 1820 in Surry Co, John Venable and William Venable both lived in Surry Co (the only Venable names in the county); John was born between 1796 and 1804. His wife was the same age, and there was an older woman in his home (mother-in-law?). He had three daughters under age 10. William Venable and wife were age 45 or older; they had eight children and/or grandchildren in their home. Many of those grandchildren were likely children of son Pleasant Venable.

        In 1830 William (Sr) was gone, having died in 1823, and Ursula was not shown as the head of her home. In all of NC, there were just six Venable families in 1830: Jesse Venable in Stokes Co, and in Surry Co the five remaining Venable families were William, Jesse, John, Pleasant, and Thomas. The Jesse Venable in Stokes Co was born in the 1780s; the one in Surry Co was born in the 1790s and his wife in the 1800s; they had three children born in the 1820s. This Jesse was William and Ursula's son, and the one in Stokes Co may have been a brother or nephew of Ursula's husband. William Venable and his wife in Surry Co in 1830 was born in the 1800s years; they had no children. This person must have been an elder son of Pleasant Venable, or a younger son of William and Ursula. John Venable was born in the 1790s; his wife in the 1780s, and they had five children. under age 16. William Venable was not in his home in 1830, and an older woman born in the 1760s was in the home of Pleasant Venable (Pleasant's mother Ursula?) was taking care of the home. This was the William Venable home, now with eldest son Pleasant Venable as the head of the home. There were young adults and teens in the home.

        In 1840 there were just four Venable names in the Stokes & Surry County area: Mary Venable was in Stokes Co, and Jesse, John, and Priscilla in Surry Co. Mary in Stokes Co was born in the 1770s; she was Jesse Sr's mother Mary Curry. The Jesse in Surry Co was born in the 1790s; his wife in the 1800s. John in Surry Co and his wife were born in the 1790s. Priscilla Venable was born in the 1790s and was probably Pleasant Venable's daughter, or a widow of an unknown son.

        The twelve children of William Venable and Ursula East who lived beyond childhood, largely determined from deed records, are listed below. Any child born in NC before 1789 was born in Surry Co-

a.     Pleasant Venable, b abt 1780, was one male in the William Venable home in the state census of about 1785, and was one of the two sons in the 1790 federal census. He reached adulthood, never married, and lived in his parents' home into the 1830s.

b.     Thomas Frederick Venable, b abt 1785, was one of the two sons in the 1790 census. He was one of the two sons in the 10-15 age grouping in the 1800 census. In 1810 Thomas lived two doors from his parents, and was then recently married but had no children yet.

c.     Sarah Venable, b 10 Mar 1786, was one of the two daughters in the 1790 census. In 1810 there were two daughters in the 16 to 25 age grouping in William Venable's home; Sarah must have been one.

d.     Margaret Venable, b 22 Nov 1789, was one of the two daughters in the 1790 census. In 1810 there were two daughters in the 16 to 25 age grouping in William Venable's home; Sarah must have been one.

e.     John Venable, b 1790 after the 1790 federal census, was one of the two sons age 10-15 in the 1800 census. In 1810 there were four sons in the 10 to 15 age grouping (born 1795 to 1800). John must have been one, in error, or else he was the one son in the 16 to 25 age grouping and his brother Pleasant was then living in another home. There is another likely scenario: John had just recently married and was living with his wife's parents, which was quite common with newly married couples. He did marry and had children.

f.      son Venable, b 1790s, was one of four sons in the Under age 10 grouping in the 1800 census, and one of the four sons in the 10 to 15 age grouping in the 1810 census. This son probably died young.

g.     James Venable, b 1797, was one of four sons in the Under age 10 grouping in the 1800 census and was one of the four sons in the 10 to 15 age grouping in the 1810 census. James was probably the James Venable found in Lincoln Co KY in 1820.

h.     Jesse Venable, b 1799, was one of four sons in the Under age 10 grouping in the 1800 census, and was one of the four sons in the 10 to 15 age grouping in the 1810 census, and was the son in the 16 to 25 age group in the 1820 census. He later married, had children, and lived in Surry Co past 1880. Note: The Jesse Venable of Stokes Co who was born in 1787 and married to Charity was a cousin.

i.      Martin Venable, b abt 1801, was one of the four sons in the 10 to 15 age grouping in the 1810 census.

j.      Mary Venable, b 1803, was the one daughter in the under age 10 age grouping in the 1810 census.

k.     George Venable, b 1806, was one of the three sons in the under age 10 age grouping in the 1810 census.

m.    Drury Venable, b 1808, was one of the three sons in the under age 10 age grouping in the 1810 census.

n.     son Venable, b abt 1810, was one of the three sons in the under age 10 age grouping in the 1810 census, and was also included in the under age 10 grouping in the 1820 census.

p.     Rebecca Venable, b 1811

There were three boys under age 10 in William and Ursula's home in 1820; they would not likely all be Ursula's children since she would have been over age 50 when they were all born. But since Ursula's son lived next door in 1820, and he had sons who were apparently skipped by the 1820 census taker, then to or three of these young boys were probably grandsons of Ursula, sons of John.

William Venable Sr's wife Margaret died in Surry Co on 23 November 1774. William Venable (whether Sr and / or Jr is not known) received NC Land Grants in Surry Co: 9 November 1787, 200 acres on Little Yadkin River; 400 acres on Little Yadkin River on the same date; 18 May 1789, 200 acres on the South Fork of Little Yadkin River. When Stokes Co was created in 1789 from Surry Co, those people living on Little Yadkin became residents of Stokes Co. William Venable Sr died in Stokes Co on 15 December 1815. (W,M,M60,M62, 76ajkmn, 240jkmzpy)

Surry Co had 28 Venable names on the 1850 census, and Stokes Co had 31 name. Patrick Co VA, the neighboring county to the north, had none. In 1840, Patrick Co VA had no Venable names. Surry Co NC had three: Jesse, John, and Priscilla; Stokes Co had just one, Mary Venable. In 1830 there were none in Patrick Co VA. But in Stokes Co NC in 1830 there were two: Jesse and William. Surry Co had four: Jesse, John, Pleasant, and Thomas. In fact, these six Venable families in 1830 were the only ones in NC. In NC in 1820 the four Venable families were Jesse and John in Stokes Co and John and William in Surry Co. In 1810 in NC in Surry Co there were Daniel, Thomas, and William Venable; there was a John Venable in Lincoln Co, which is near the southern border of southwestern NC. This Lincoln Co John Venable and his wife were born between 1766 and 1784, and they had five children under the age of 16.

        Ursula East [E4c3a3h], daughter of Isham East and Mary Eades, was born 1 December 1800 in Stokes Co VA and her parents moved to Patrick Co VA when Ursula was a baby, in 1801. She was named after her father's sister. Ursula married James Nunn in Patrick Co on 18 May 1826, and they lived in Stokes Co NC, one county to the south. The minister at this marriage was Thomas Whitlock, the same one who married Mary East to Jesse Harrell in 1811, and who married Jonathan Harrell to (unidentified) Frances East in 1809, and who married Mary East [E4a3a3e] to Asa Riddle in 1812. James was born 24 April 1802 in Stokes Co NC, a twin of John Nunn, and died in Stokes Co in October 1885. Ursula died there on 21 August 1892; she was bedridden for the past few years of her life with a poorly mended broken hip. Both James and Ursula lived next door to their son William at Quaker Gap, Stokes Co in 1870, and lived with him in 1880. James' parents were William Nunn and Elizabeth ____. Ursula and James had seven children, all born in Stokes Co NC-

1.     son Nunn, b 1826-1830, was not found in 1840. (76j)

2.     son Nunn, b 1826-1830, was not found in 1840. (76j)

3.     John P Nunn, b Jan 1831

4.     Joseph Nunn, b 1833

5.     Jane Nunn, b 1837

6.     James Nunn Jr, b 1838

7.     William Henry Harrison Nunn, b 13 Nov 1840

William Nunn from Abemarle Parish VA, the father of James and his twin brother John, bought 200 acres in 1793 where Peter's Creek enters the San River in Stokes Co NC, and built a mill. William and his family continued to live in Stokes Co into the 1800s, and William died there near the end of the 1810s. This Nunn family was missed by the 1810 census taker, but William's wife was still there in 1820 and she had two sons born between 1802 and 1804 (the twins). In her 1828-1829 will she bequeathed to her daughter Clara Nelson, and split a fifty acres tract of between the twins John (he got the western half) and James (got the eastern half). Therefore, we can be sure that Ursula East's husband James Nunn was born in Stokes Co. John Nunn, James' twin, married Scenna Phillips on 8 November 1830 and they had eleven children. (M54,M63)

In 1850 Jincy White, born NC in 1820, lived with Ursula and James; also Mary and Ruth Campbell, born 1830 and 1833 in NC lived with them. Perhaps Jincy White was James Nunn's sister since James and Ursula's daughter Jane also had that nickname. (W,30mp,76nqrs)

        Victor Wheatley East [E4a2a4h9a], son of Thomas Wheatley East and Catherine Sarah Barber, was born 4 November 1874 at Milmine, Piatt Co IL. He enlisted 23 July 1898 at Chicago into Company D, 3rd Mississippi Volunteer Infantry for the Spanish American War, and was mustered into US service on 28 July 1898 at Jackson, MS. He mustered out 15 March 1899 at Albany, GA as Sergeant. In 1900 Victor was single, living with his widowed mother at Normal, McLean Co IL, and was a restaurant cashier. In April 1909 he applied for a US Passport, and was then at Philadelphi, PA. He went to Vera Cruz, Mexico, and returned via New Orleans in June 1908 with his wife Minnie B "Carrie" Hernden.

        Walter East [E4a3a6d1g8], son of David Reuben Alexander East and Amanda H Anderson, was born in Lawrence Co AR in 1880. Written family records, done years later, show his birth date as 1879, but he was not shown in the 1880 census. Hence, his birth year was likely in 1880 after the census was taken in June. He died at age 14. (RR,JY,59s)

Weldon's mother and his half-brother Jasper Harris lived with Weldon in 1900. In 1930 a granddaughter Laura East, age 5, lived with Weldon and his wife Laura. Young Laura was likely a daughter of Homer or Davis. (MF,W,97su,641w)

        Wesley East [E4a2a2d], son of Ezekiel East and Elizabeth Worsham, was born about 1810 in Pittsylvania Co VA. This person is John Wesley East. [E4a2a2d] (L,EL,JY)

1.     Sarah Luvenia East, b 1857 at Monroeville, Monroe Co AL. (W,456q) (W,456jknq)

        Whitfield B East [E4a2a5h5], son of Grief Edward East and Sarah E Walker, was born 3 June 1856 in Halifax Co VA. He must have died young since he was not in his family's home in 1860 at Yancyville, NC. (W,SS)

        Whitten H East [E1d1b1a], son of William Jasper East and Lula Whitten, was born in June 1893 in MS. He grew up at Senatobia. On 12 July 1915 he was graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and was a major in the U.S. Army's new Air Force in 1917. (EE, EP,JA,9uv)

        Wick East [E4c3a3b11d13], son of Joseph Smith East and Lou Ella Ryherd, was born 1 December 1903 in Macon Co TN. He married Grace M Carnahan on 23 January 1926. Wick died 29 January 1968 and was buried in Galen Cemetery. They had four children

a.     Wick East Jr (MV)

d.     Hollis Earline East (MV) (MV,4v)

        William East [E25] came from London, England to VA on the ship Paule, arriving on 6 July 1635. He was 23 years old at the time, being born about 1612. William apparently settled in Lower Norfolk Co (southeast VA; this county name no longer exists) because he owned land bordered on the north by Edward Windham. On 1 July 1643 Windham sold his land to James Sterling and William East's land was mentioned as bordering the land being sold.

        William very likely married and had children by the 1650s, although records to prove this have not been found in VA. Because no other East was named on the ship records with William, any other East records in southeast VA within the next few years would likely be the then grown children of William, children who came with him on the Paule, or else immigrants who came on later ships. Since there were few people in VA by the middle of the Seventeenth Century, perhaps less than a thousand, it would be fairly safe to assume that anyone with the East family name in eastern VA in the 1650s would be a close relative or descendant of William.

        In Charles City Co there was a Thomas East who had died by January 1659, leaving a daughter under the age of 21. There is no record of a Thomas East on any ship records coming to VA in this time. Therefore Thomas would likely be a son of William. He was also mentioned in land records in Charles City Co in 1642. (M88, M92,M13,JY)

        William East [E27a], son of William East of Tower Street, London, England, was born in London by the 1650s. He was a captain of the ship Hester and Hannah, and later of the ship Gulielma, William Penn's personal ship. William owned a home in Philadelphia, PA, as did his brother Benjamin. William was a Quaker, and had apparently died by 1711 for he was named in a deed record in Philadelphia between John Knowles and William's heirs. Knowles sold a portion of a lot "to William East, Master of the Govern ship Gulielma, whose relic Esther, and sole daughter and heiress Elizabeth with their present husbands, Richard Cary, citizen and merchant taylor of London, who married widow, and Thomas Jackson of Dartford, Coun. Kent, carpenter, conveyed the same ..." So in one deed record we learn that William married, had a daughter, and died, and his widow and daughter afterwards lived back in England, thus leaving no one of William's line in the American Colonies. His daughter was-

1.     Elizabeth East, married Thomas Jackson of Dartford, Co Kent, England and apparently lived in England. (M17)

        William East [E4a3], son of Thomas East Jr and Ann Perrin oif Henrico Co VA, was born about 1700 in Henrico Co. He was a member of Henrico County Parish. By 31 March 1748 he owned 400 acres on Ellis Creek in VA next to the 400 acres held by his son. This was apparently the same William, or his son, mentioned in the 11 February 1763 land grant of Tarlton East [E4c5]. William married and had at least one son-

a.     William East, b 1720s (JA,EP,JY,M47,29p)

        William East [E4a3a], son of William East, was born by the mid-1720s. He married Ms _____ (Langston?, daughter of John Langston), lived in VA (Augusta Co? see Josiah East [E4a3a1]), and died in Charlotte Co VA in 1767; he left a 9 July 1766 will in Charlotte Co. His wife died prior to 1766. They had eight children-

1.     Josiah East, b abt 1743

2.     William East, b abt 1745

An Inventory of the Estate of William East Deceased was taken by David George and William East Executors on the fifth day of December one Thousand seven hundred & sixty seven. (JA,24p,26m)

        William East [E2], son of John East of Halifax Co VA and Jane _____, left a Henry Co will (Book 1, Page 46) dated 1 February 1781, and probated on 22 March, naming his brother John East and nephew John East Jr, second son of John. Witnesses to this will were John McCoy, John East, and James Rea Junr. Bond was posted by William Graves and Henry Lyne. There is no indication that William married and had children. (M92,RC,VJ)

        William East [E4c3a], son of Isham East (he a son of Edward East), was born about 1725, probably in VA, but lived in northern NC for much of his life starting around 1779. He married Mary Cannon about 1743, and when she died in 1769 or 1770 he then married Frances Cockerham about 1771 in Bedford Co VA. Frances was born about 1738 in Grayson Co VA. There are numerous deed records of William East and his brother Thomas East who bought and sold land together starting in 1761 in Lunenburg Co VA. When they sold this land 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. That same year they moved to Halifax Co and each bought 107 acres on Buffalo Creek from William Short. In 1770 Thomas bought another 104 acres on Buffalo Creek from Thomas Gilbert. When Thomas traded one parcel of land on Buffalo to William Smith for a Negro wench in 1771, William and Frances East were witnesses. So we therefore know that William's first wife Mary had died and he then married Frances Cockerham by 1771. Thomas also sold the other land on Buffalo Creek to William Smith and William and Frances East were again witnesses. In January of 1778, William East and Fanny his wife of Bedford County sold 107 acres on Buffalo Creek to James and Richard Jones. This is no doubt the same land which was bought by the William who was formerly married to Mary. When William Smith died in Surry Co NC in 1780, William and Thomas East (brothers?) were the executors. In the deeds of Surry Co, William East bought 300 acres on Middle Fork of Little Yadkin River from William Boyles and his wife Eve on 13 May 1783 for £100. William bought an "unspecified amount of land being a Water Plat containing as many acres as may be drowned on Christian Fears land in raising a sufficient head of water to support William East's Grist Mill" on waters of Little Yadkin. William East Senior "of Greason" Co sold 150 acres on the middle fork of Little Yadkin River to Isham East in February 1797, so William had lived in Surry Co for about 20 years, from 1777 to 1797. In March of 1797, "William East Senior of Greason County, Virginia" sold to John Boyles 150 acres on middle fork of Little Yadkin River. William had moved to Grayson Co by 1797 when he was named in a deed in Stokes as "William East of Greason Co. VA." He was selling his land in Stokes Co to his son Isham. Isham moved to Patrick Co VA in 1801. In the Bible record submitted by Isham as proof of the birth dates of William's children, Isham was named as the son of William and Mary. (The full content of the William and Thomas East deed records were supplied by source JA in an article titled Separating William Easts.) According to Revolutionary War pension papers (W19209) of his son Isham, William was living in Surry Co NC in the winter of 1777.

        In the 1784 to 1787 years, the state of NC took its own census. William lived in Captain Lovel's District of Surry Co then (first page of this district, column 2). Some of his neighbors were Joseph East, William Venable Jr & Sr, John Venable, Thomas East, Henry Spinhour, and Basel Riddel (all on the first page, column 1), and John & Thomas Carroll, John Fitzpatrick, and William Freeman all near William East in column 2 of the census. All of these family names were then or in later years tied to William East's descendants through marriage. In Captain Lovel's district in this state census, there were only 98 families. This district was in the north part of Surry Co close to the border with Patrick Co VA.

        Frances Cockerham lived in Grayson Co in 1805 since she paid a tax for owning two horses then. She died in Stokes Co NC after March 1820; in that month she acted as one of the executors of her grandson Drury East (son of Isham) in Grayson Co. When Drury's estate was settled on 15 February 1826, Frances was no longer one of Drury's executors. Thomas Baldwin had taken Frances' place. So she had apparently died by 1826. William East wrote his will on 7 September 1798 in Grayson Co VA but it was not probated until August 1803 in Grayson Co; he died in 1803, soon prior to August when his will went into probate. In his will, he named his wife Fanney ("her choice of beds, one cow," etc), his son William (half "the movables and money"), Mary, Rebekah, Susanna, Frankie, (cannot read) ("ten shillings a pice"). Then William repeated himself to be clear, and said "ten shillings to Isa East ten shillings to Sarah Fitzpatrick ten shillings to Usley Venable ten shillings to Elizabeth Biles, ten shillings to Martha Jones. (Will Book 1, pg 29). William named his son William East and wife Fanny as executors. Witnesses were Samuel Amburn, John Talbot, and William Grigg. The part of his will which gave "ten shillings to Isa East..." is weak and hard to read, so this part may have meant Isham East, or may have meant Asa East. And since Asa East seemed to have distanced himself from this branch of the Surry-Stokes County East families, and also since Asa East provided the marriage bond for the Polly East and Henry Mosley marriage in Stokes Co on 10 February 1806, then it is here assumed that Asa was a son of Thomas East Sr, and Polly East was the only known daughter of Thomas East Sr. Therefore the William East will which says he gave "ten shillings to Isa East" must have meant Isham East, not Asa. William had about twelve to thirteen children who reached adulthood, but with Mary he probably had more children whom we have no records for-

10.   Chandler East, b abt 1783, may have been Drewry Chandler East. There is a Surry Co court record where "William & Drewry East" bought property from John Bryson in January or February 1817. The name Drewry was rare in those early years, and the only William East in the area who was an adult was a son of William East who died in 1803. (240y)

NOTE: Stokes Co NC is the county next to and just south of Patrick Co VA, and it was formed in 1789 from Surry Co. In 1820 there were just two East families in Patrick Co VA: Isham East and William East. These two East families lived next door to each other in 1820, and Isham was the elder, born 1775 or before. He also had three young girls in his home in 1820, and a young man age between 16 and 25. Isham's wife was born in 1775 or before. Of the young females, two were under age 10, and one was age 10-15. William East next door was born between 1775 and 1794 and his wife was born between 1795 and 1804. Their six children were all born between 1805 and 1820. The only William East marriage found in VA which could be for this William were in Charlotte Co and in Henry Co. Henry Co is on the east side of and next to Patrick Co; Charlotte Co is quite a few counties to the east. (JA,MV,M,30i, 1043pt, 76az,204z)

        William East [E4c3a2], son of William East and _____ Langston of Charlotte Co VA, was born about 1745, probably in VA. He moved to Laurens Co SC by 5 February 1785 where he witnessed a land sale (see Josiah East [E4a3a1]). On a 24 October 1786 deed in Laurens Co (Book B, Page 140) he was listed as a neighbor of Samuel Henderson and wife Mary Ann _____, living along Little River. On 4 April 1788 Luke Waldroop and wife Mary sold 130 acres on Little River to William East Junior, land originally granted 3 October 1785; witnesses to this sale were Shadrack East and William East. Of William's brothers Josiah and Shadrack, the names of the sons of Shadrack known, and Josiah had but one or two sons (none William). Thus only William [E4c3a2] could have had a son named William Junior.

        In 1790 William Sr was the head of his household which had two males over the age of 16 and two females. This family lived three doors from Josiah East and not too far from Isham East. William's wife was Lucy Vaughan. Keep in mind that it is often difficult to determine who the neighbors are in the pre-1850 census records because of what side of the river or road the families live on; the census taker often would walk miles up one side of a river in his count, then come back the other side. As the names are listed in the records, it would appear that two families are miles apart, but are actually just across the river from each other, or are back-to-back yet on different roads. The above Samuel Henderson, in the 1790 census record, was about midway between Shadrack East and William Young, and three to four doors from each, yet was in excess of 350 families from William East Sr. William was next door to a James Young. (In 1790 there were two James Young families, and three in 1800.)

        William is found in the county in 1800, but in 1810 the two William East families shown are both too young to be this William. His children appear to be-

a.     William East Jr, b by 1767

b.     dau East, b bef 1790 (JA,3a)

        William East Jr [E4c1a1a], son of William East of Little River in Laurens Co SC, was born by 1767 in either VA or in Laurens Co. He bought 130 acres on Little River, close to his father's farm, on 4 April 1788 from Luke Waldroop and Luke's wife Mary _____.

        On 22 October 1811 "William East Senior" sold 140 acres to Alexander Glenn, land bordered by Glenn, John Sinclair, and Joseph Wilson (Book J, Page 258); William's wife Lucy _____ was also named in this sale. Since William's father was probably dead by this time, William had become a "Senior" because of a much younger "William East Junior." This 140 acres was originally granted to Michael Wilson and later conveyed to William East, presumably William East [E4c1a1]. In 1820 William was found living close to another younger William East, not likely a son. Because of the ages of both William East men in 1820 (both over age 44). it appears that William Sr married a second time, around 1800; his children were-

1.     son East

2.     son East, b 1795-1804 (3i)

3.     dau East, b 1795-1804 (3i)

4.     son East, b 1802-1804 (3i)

5.     dau East, b 1805-1810 (3i)

6.     son East, b 185-1810 (3i)

7.     dau East, b 1811-1820 (3i) (M92,3aehi)

        William East [E10], lived in Halifax Co VA in the 1770s, and married Martha _____. He and Martha were named as parents of Elisha East who died in Halifax Co in 1853. Elisha was born about 1778 (was age 75 when he died in 1853), so his father William must have been born by 1760, but perhaps a few years sooner, born in the 1750s. From Elisha's marriage record in 1814, a witness to that marriage was Richard East; William was not named in the marriage record, and the 1820 census (earliest census available for Halifax Co) has no William East in the county. So William may have died by 1814, and likely by 1820. There were four East families in Halifax Co in 1820: Elisha, Richard, Nancy, and John East. In addition to Elisha as being a known child of William and Martha, it would also appear that Richard was a child, and perhaps John and another son who married Nancy; with such scanty records available, the listing of some of the potential children is just speculation-

a.     Richard East, b 1776-1794, and in 1814 witnessed Elisha's East's marriage in Halifax Co. Richard married Elizabeth B Bowles on 23 December 1808 in Halifax Co. She was about the same age as Richard. They they had at least five children by 1820-

        1.     dau East, b 1806-1810 (26i)

        2.     son East, b 1811-1820 (26i)

        3.     son East, b 1811-1820 (26i)

        4.     dau East, b 1811-1820 (26i)

        5.     dau East, b 1811-1820 (26i)

In Richard's home in 1820 was a mother or other woman old enough to be his mother. There was an earlier marriage in Halifax Co with a Richard East, on 6 November 1789, to Drusilla Chapman. (26im)

b.     Nancy East, or Mrs Nancy East. Nancy was born in the 1760s. In her home in 1820 were no boys, but there were two girls; one was under age 10 and the other was an older teen. Nancy was born prior to 1776. In her home in 1830 there were more children, some born in the early 1800s (the teen girl from 1820?) to a boy born in the late 1820s. (26ij)

c.     John East. b 1771-1780, lived in Halifax Co in 1830 with an three adult children. He was not there in 1840, although there was a much younger John East who fits the age of the boy from 1830, if that boy was born in 1810. John (Sr) had married Polly Miller in Halifax Co on 22 February 1814-

        1.     son East, b 1801-1810 (26j)

        2.     dau East, b 1801-1810 (26j)

        3.     dau East, b 1811-1815 (26j) (26mij)

d.     Elisha East, b 1778, married Hannah Farmer, See his biography. (26di)

         William East [E4c3a6], son of William East and Frances Cockerham of Grayson Co VA, was born 6 May 1773 in NC. He apparently moved back (with his parents?) to Grayson Co because he is on Quaker records there at later dates. Also, William was an executor of his father's 9 September 1798 will in Grayson Co. The Quaker records further show that William and his wife Rachel Talbot were accepted in the Westfield, NC church in May 1806, and were granted certificates to the Newberry, Blount Co TN church in December 1809. In December 1815 William and his wife requested certificates to transfer to the White Water church in the Indiana Territory. The White Water monthly meetings were in what is now the city of Richmond. William and Rachel moved to Wayne Co IN by 1820.

        Rachel was born 25 August 1780 in PA, daughter of Jacob Talbot and Susanna Sharples, and was still alive in 1850, living with William two doors from their son Joel in Calvin Twp, Cass Co MI. Rachel died at Calvin, Cass Co on 21 October 1851 and William then lived with their daughter Martha in Cass Co. Rachel and William had twelve children (from Quaker records)-

a.     Hannah East, b 16 Dec 1798

b.     John East, b 31 May 1800

c.     Joel East, b 29 Sep 1802

d.     James East, b 1 Jun 1804

e.     Polly East, b 29 Mar 1807

f.      Susannah East, b 6 Mar 1809

g.     Jacob Talbot East, b 12 Jun 1811

h.     Sally East, b 8 Apr 1814

i.      William H East, b 17 Apr 1817

j.      Rebecca East, b 3 Aug 1819

k.     Martha East, b 22 Oct 1822

m.    Isom L East, b 4 Apr 1826

In 1909 descendants had a large gravestone erected in Birch Lake Cemetery for Joel and his siblings, and the year dates of births and deaths were also shown. Most of them were not actually buried there, and not all dates are correct. This cemetery is also called East Cemetery. (M92,W, 1043p, 52ijk,72nq)

        William East, born in 1775 in NC, was living in Patrick Co VA in 1850 with Sally Fodnil(?), age 35, and her two children Mary (age 6) and Nancy (age 2). (30n)

        William East [E1f], son of John East and Frances Harston of Pittsylvania Co VA, was born in Pittsylvania Co on 24 February 1776, in the section of the county which became Henry Co in the following year. He married Elizabeth Thurston on or soon after 26 January 1802 (the marriage bond date) in Henry Co; the surety was David Rea (see Joseph East [E1d]). This marriage with Elizabeth was likely his second marriage because his daughter Mary C East, and a probable son Arthur East, were born in VA in 1797 and 1800; the name of that wife is yet unknown. On 23 February 1807 in Henry Co William married Sally Webb. In 1808, William and Sally moved to Middle TN, stayed for a short time, and in 1809 moved on to AL where he patented about 160 acres on 16 November 1810. William lived in Madison Co, was called William East Sr, and outlived Sally. A Madison Co Newspaper obituary reported the 9 October 1841 death of "Mrs Sally East consort of William East Esq, long a resident of this county." Sally was born 12 May 1781 and was from Halifax Co VA. The obituary indicated that she may have been the wife who moved with William to TN, then to AL.

        The 1840 census for Wm East Sr showed that there was another couple in his home, in addition to Sally and their children. The other couple was born in the 1780s. Or, this other "couple" could have been a slightly younger brother and a sister, or brother and brother's wife.

        William died at home on 21 August 1847 and was buried in the East family Cemetery, one mile east of the (1988) McCrary home in Madison Co AL. Sally was buried in the same graveyard. He had at least seven children-

1.     Arthur East, b 1797 in VA, was single, and lived next door to Elizabeth H East [E1f3] in Hardeman Co TN. Arthur was probably Elizabeth's brother. (1366n)

2.     Mary C East, b abt 1800

3.     Elizabeth H East, b abt 1803

4.     Yancy Thomas East, b 5 May 1804 (48j)

5.     Eliza P East, b 1810

6.     Susanna Withers East, b abt 1813 (48j)

7.     Priscilla W East, b 11 Sep 1813 (48j)

8.     Alexander Hamilton East, b abt 1815 (48jk)

There was another younger William East in the southern part of Madison Co, probably unrelated. The 1840 census shows Wm East Sr on census page 118 with a large family of 16 White persons and 17 Black persons. This William was born in the 1770s. Close neighbors were John Pike. In the 1830 census, this elder William was on census page 127.

In the southern part of the county was the other William East; this William was born in the 1780s and had six in his family in 1840. In the 1830 census, this younger William was on census on page 122, and on page 157 in the 1840 census.

The location of the East Cemetery today is now within the city limits of Madison, but no gravestones exists today. A survey of this small cemetery was taken in the 1920s, from which we have the existing named graves. (M89, M92,M94,DJ,VJ, JA,JF, RC,JW,48kc)

        William East [E4a2a5], son of Thomas East and Obedience _____ of Pittsylvania Co VA, was born by 1777 in Pittsylvania Co. He married Rhoda Clark on 6 January 1801 in Charlotte Co. Their marriage record show that her father was Isaac Clark and William's parents were Thomas East and Obedience. On 17 June 1807 William sold to Grief and Claiborne Barksdale two Negroes -- one named Fanny, who was in Charlotte Co in possession of John Stewart, and a girl named Chany. The consideration was £50. In Charlotte Co in 1810 there were no East families shown in the census at all. The only William East families shown in the 1810 census in the country were both in Laurens Co SC. And neither of them was the William who married Rhoda for two reasons: to move to SC after their marriage, then back to Charlotte Co by 1820 was unlikely because of the distance; neither of the two William East families in Laurens Co in 1810 had children of ages typical of what a couple in their 30s would have had after nine years of marriage, or didn't have a wife old enough to be of age to marry in 1801. Hence, it can be assumed that the census taker missed the only East family in Charlotte Co in 1810. But in 1820 they were shown, and had seven or eight children, which would have been normal for a couple married for 19 years; the first and second boy may be the same person, because of the ability for a teenage boy to be included in two different age groups of the 1820 census. In addition, by 1820 their children were reaching the marriageable age. So a check of the Charlotte Co marriage records from 1817 to the mid-1840s revealed at least seven East marriages, starting in 1824. Since William and Rhoda were the only East family in the county, then it can safely be assumed that all these marriages were for their children. And we can be fairly sure that this 1820 William was the one married to Rhoda Clark because in Charlotte Co in 1810 and in 1820 there were many Clark families of Rhoda's age (her brothers?) and an older Edith Clark (widow of Isaac?). Charlotte Co was definitely a Clark family county.

        William East must have died in the 1820s since Rhoda was one of just two East families in 1830; the other one was Thomas East. Rhoda was living quite a few doors from Thomas in 1830, but four of her immediate neighbors were Clark families, including Edith Clark, who was age 60s. Rhoda was age 30s, not likely the truth since she must have been born prior to 1790 to marry in early 1801. Rhoda also had two boys and a girl in her household in 1830. In 1850 in son Ben's home she gave her ages as 63, so she was born in 1787, and was married at the age of 14. She was still alive, living with her son Ben in 1860 in Campbell Co. Her age then was 70, as she stated. She died in Campbell Co in the 1860s. William and Rhoda had about eight children, all born in Charlotte Co VA-

a.     Thomas East, b 1803

b.     Isaac East, b 1805

c.     Eliza East, b abt 1807

d.     William East, b abt 1810

e.     Mary F East, b 1815

f.      Benjamin D East, b 1817

g.     son East, b 1816-1820, was not found in 1840. (24j)

h.     Grief Edward East, b 1825 (M94,M38,L,EP,24ijm,25nq)

        William East [E3], parents unknown, was born in 1781 in VA and died after 1850 in Henry Co. He lived in Henry Co VA in 1820 and into the 1850s (in 1850, census page 49, family #672). His wife Sally was born in VA in 1780 (she was not the Sally Webb who was born in 1781 and married another William East in Henry Co in 1807, and who died in Madison Co AL in 1841). In 1820 in their home were three boys under age 10, four girls under age 10, and one boy and girl ages 10-15. Hence, all these children cannot be the children from one mother, but instead must be a combination of two families. In addition, the 1820 census shows that William was age 26-44 (born 1781) and his wife was about the same age. The 1820 census was shown in a roughly alphabetical listing. Therefore we cannot see who William's close neighbors were. But in Henry Co in 1820 the only other East families were Joseph (born 1795-1804), John (born 1795-1804), Jesse (born before 1776, son of Edward East [E4c1a]), and William East (born 1776-1795). And it is known that the first two were sons of Thomas East [E1b] and Sarah Graves.

        In 1850 William, his wife, and daughter Mary were in Henry Co. Living next door to them was John East, born in 1813. In 1840 in William's home were many people, and five were under age 5. Since William and his wife, in 1840, were in their late 50s, then the youngest family members were probably grandchildren-

b.     dau East, b 1801-1810 (28ij)

c.     son East, b 1811-1820 (28ijk) / (John East, b 1813). John East married Mary _____ about 1848; she was a second wife since he had two teenage children in their home in 1850, and his wife Mary was age 23 then. (28kn)

d.     daughter East, b 1811-1820 (28ijk) / Nancy East, b May 1816, married Austin Forbes in Henry Co on 12 September 1836, and died about 1910 in Henry Co. Austin was born in 1813 in VA, and died in Henry Co in the late 1840s. They had six children-

        1.     Amanda Forbes, b 1837 (28kn)

        2.     William Forbes, b 1839 (28kn)

        3.     Mary F Forbes, b 1841 (28n)

        4.     John C Forbes, b 1843 in Henry Co, and died in 1882 in Henry Co. He married Elizabeth Ellen Wells at Gordonsville, Rockingham Co NC on 11 February 1865. She was born in VA on 17 May 1846, and died at Pelham, Caswell Co NC on 18 October 1930. She was buried in Lawson Cemetery at Eden, Rockingham Co. They had eight children. (W,28n)

        5.     Nannie Austine Forbes, b 1844 in Henry Co, died in Henry Co on 3 April 1927. She married Samuel Anderson Morrisin VA on 1 September 1863. He was born 29 Jun 1842 in Henry Co, son of James Madison Morris (1811-1861) and Mary Ann Hill (1820-1905), and died 25 January 1902. They had about thirteen children, mostly daughters, between 1864 and 1890. (W,28n)

In 1850 this family was in Henry Co, family # 620. Three doors away, family #623, was Thomas East. This Thomas was married to Justin Cloud. And families # 624 and #626 were William Forbes and John R Forbes and their families. These two were born in VA in 1813 and 1815. Perhaps they were Austin's brothers. In 1840 Austin and William lived next door to each other in Henry Co. John R had married Nancy L Agee in Henry Co on 30 Jun 1840; in the census, John was single, living with his brother Austin. (W,28mkn)

e.     daughter East, b 1811-1820 (28ijk) / Elizabeth East married William Fowler in Henry Co on 11 September 1837. Her father was named as William East on the marriage record. (28m)

There was another early Henry Co marriage between William East and Elizabeth Thurston on 26 Jan 1802. These were two different East men. The husband of Ms Thurston was born in 1776, and lived in Middle TN in 1808, then was in Madison Co AL in 1809 and afterwards until he died there in 1847. His wife in Madiscon Co was Sally, a second or third wife, who died in Madison Co in 1841. William and wife Sally of Henry Co were still in Henry Co in 1820 and into the 1850s. If William East who married Sally and remained in Henry Co was closely related to the other East families of Henry Co (John East [E1], brother William East [E2],and brother Thomas East [E4b2], all sons of John East [E4a1]), he would have had to descend from a yet unknown son of John East [E4a1]. The William East [E2], son of John East [E4a1], left a 1781 will which indicated that he had no descendants because he gave his assets to a brother and nephew, not to any children. And the William who married Elizabeth Thurston was a son of John East [E4a1], and was born in 1776. (28mjkn)

        William East [E14a1], son of Joseph East and Milly _____, was born about 1786 in northeast GA, probably in Wilkes Co. He married Rachel Castleberry in Clarke Co GA on 25 September 1806. She was born in 1785 in GA, daughter of Henry Castleberry and Sarah Martin, and died in 1843 in Hempstead Co AR. William also probably died in Hempstead Co in the 1840s, where he and Rachel raised their six children-

a.     Cynthia East, b 1805

b.     North East, b 1806

c.     Sarah East, b 1808

d.     Joseph E East, b 15 Jan 1809

e.     Sophia Elvira East, b 1818

f.      Priscilla East, b 7 Sep 1817

There were only 79 White families in Henpstead Co in 1840. (W,74k, ARijk)

        William East [E4c3a3c], son of Isham East and Mary Eades, was born 12 April 1787 in Patrick Co VA. He was the executor of his father's will. He lived in Grayson Co in 1805 since William East and his mother Fanney East were taxed there in 1805; William had two horses, as did his mother. One of the two William East men was summoned to appear in Patrick Co court in May 1818 on the grounds that he was "living with Mary Cannon in adultery upon the information of Jesse Sawyers." And again, in October 1823 William East and Polly Cannon had to appear in Patrick County court "for fornication upon information of Jacob Grigg." This ongoing fornication issue came to an end (for a while) in an actual trial on 5 May 1825, and they were found not guilty. But again, in August 1826 they were again charged with the same offense, and again they pleaded not guilty. They were found guilty this time in May 1828, and fined $10 each. This was the typical fine for this moral charge during these years in Patrick Co. William East and two others were sued by John Floyd, the Virginia Governor in March 1833 (this may have been over deed grants).

         William East was on jury duty in June 1818, in May 1819, in October 1819, May 1820, October 1820, May 1821, October 1821, May 1822, October 1825, May 1828, May 1830, May 1831. In October 1818 Charles L Chrissman sued William East, Isham East, and Joshua Roberts for an unpaid debt. About this same time, James Bays sued William East and Jacob Gregg for an unpaid debt; James Bays was not a resident of VA when he sued. James East sued Isham East for an unpaid debt in October 1829. The suit of James Bays vs the Easts was settled in May 1831; the East men lost.

        William was in Patrick Co VA next to his parents in 1820, and in 1829 "Wm East of Patrick, Virginia" was summoned to appear in court in Surry Co NC. William was still in Patrick Co in 1842. The wife from the 1820 census was born between 1795 and 1804. William had eight children in Patrick Co VA by 1820; in 1830 his home was still next door to his father, but nearly everyone was gone from home then (gone to Wayne Co IN?). William's son Isham lived in Murray Co GA in 1850 but was in McDonald Co MO in 1870 (if this was the correct Isham); his 81 year old mother lived with him then. Her name was Mary Cannon, but in the pension records of William's father, William's wife was called Polly Cannon. In a 18 September 1842 Patrick Par Land deed record (Bk 11, pg 373), between Polly Cannon to William East, said: "In consideration of $1,000 conveys 490 acres composed of 2 tracts adjoining Isham East, William East." Witnesses were Thomas C Greenwood, John Hicks, and Isham East. So apparently Polly and William were still with each other in 1842 in Patrick Co.

        See the Isham East Pension records. The end of the records strongly indicate that there were two William East men who had married a Mary / Polly Cannon women. For clarity, the wife of this younger William East (born 1787) will remain Polly Cannon, and the wife of the elder William (the grandfather, born in 1725) will be referred to as Mary Cannon. Since Polly Cannon was age 81 in 1870, she was born in 1789.

        William and Polly had moved to Murray Co GA in the 1840s, along with many of their children and two grandchildren, and were there in 1850. He worked as a blacksmith in Murray Co. William probably died in Murray Co in the 1850s, and Polly then lived with her son Isham. Polly probably died at Elk, McDonald Co MO in the 1870s.

        The ending of the Isham East pension record gives information of some of the children of Isham's son William (born 1787). Just two sons still lived at the Patrick Co home in 1830-

1.     son East, b 1805-1810, gone from home by 1830. (30i)

2.     dau East, b 1805-1810, married or died by 1830. (30i)

3.     Seaton East, b 1809 in Patrick Co VA, was still at home in 1830. He married Anney Creekmore on 24 October 1841 in Wilkes Co NC. The bondsman was Thomas C Greenwood. and a witness was John Brown. These last two names are from Surry Co NC, and Wilkes Co is the county next to the southwest side of Surry Co. Ann was born in 1813 in NC, probably a daughter of William Creekmore (born VA in 1765) and Nancy _____ (born VA in 1800). In 1840 Seaton lived in Patrick Co VA next door to his grandmother Mary (Cannon) East and Joseph East (born in the 1790s). Seaton was the only one in his home in 1840. After they married, Seaton and Ann lived at Murray Co GA and in 1850 they lived next door to Seaton's brother Drury. Seaton must had died in the 1850s in GA; Ann and her children were in Whitfield Co in 1860 without Seaton. He and Ann had three children by 1850 and four by 1860-

        a.     Mary A East, b 1842 in Patrick Co VA, but lived in Murray Co GA in 1850 and in Whitfield Co GA in 1860. (1171n,1172q)

        b.     James N East, b 1843 in Patrick Co VA, but lived in Murray Co GA in 1850 and in Whitfield Co GA in 1860. (1171n,1172q)

        c.     Malissa East, b 1846 in Murray Co GA and lived in Whitfield Co GA in 1860. (1171n,1172q)

        d.     Nancy E East, b 1851 in Murray Co GA and lived in Whitfield Co GA in 1860. She married Lafayette L Roberts in Whitfield Co on 6 November 1860. They were not found afterwards. He was born in GA in 1840. (1172qm)

Ann Creekmore's probable parents lived next door to Drury East in 1850, in Murray Co GA; in 1860 William Creekmore lived with her in Whitfield Co GA, and he was age 95 then. (76G,30ijk,1171n,1172q)

4.     dau East, b 1805-1810, married or died by 1830. (30i)

5.     Isham East, b b 8 Apr 1814 in Patrick Co VA, was gone from home by 1830, or was living with older relatives. He was found living in Murray Co GA in 1850. His siblings Seaton, Drury, Mary Ann, and Zella East all had moved to Murray Co by 1850. Isham was not married in 1850, and was living with the Francis and Elizabeth McCurdy family (age 36 & 38, born TN & GA). He was not found in 1860, but in 1870 and 1900 he was living at Anderson, McDonald Co MO. He was a widower in 1900. Isham had married Mary _____. She was born in TN in 1820. Isham's mother lived with him and Mary in 1870. (W,1171n,653ru)

6.     William E East, b 4 Oct 1817 in Patrick Co VA. He was gone from home by 1830. Bible record states "William East, son of Polly Cannon, b. Oct. 4, 1817" and the next line says "William E., deceased, June 23, 1840, at the Louisiana." (76G,30i)

7.     Nevills East, b 22 Oct 1819, was still at home in 1830. He proably married about 1840, had two children born in Patrick Co VA, and then died. There were two children living with Neviles' parents in Murray Co GA and were ages 9 and 8-

        a.     William H B East, b 1841 in Patrick Co VA, lived with his paternal grandparents in Murray Co GA in 1850.. (1171n)

        b.     Nancy E East, b 1842 in Patrick Co VA, lived with her paternal grandparents in Murray Co GA in 1850. (1171n) (76G, 30ij,1171n)

8.     Drury East, b 14 Apr 1821 in Patrick Co VA (age 26 in 1850, 49 in 1870). The family Bible record, where later entries were made for grandchildren, states "Drury East, a Sun of William Easte he will be 15 the 14th day of April 1836" and a further line says (partially illegible) "Drury East Deceast March the 11 18__." Since we know that uncle Drury East (born 1789) died on 18 March 1820, then this "Deceast" Drury in the family Bible was probably for Isham's grandson and not his son. Drury (spelled Drewry) was found living in Murray Co GA in 1850, next door to his brother Seaton. Drury had married Elizabeth Canarde in Murray Co on 9 March 1848. She was born in TN in 1830. They lived in GA for years, but about 1860 moved to Buffalo, Newton Co MO (Drury was called Henry in the 1860 census), stayed there until about 1869, then moved to Grayson Co TX.. They had about ten children-

        a.     Mary E East, b 1848 in GA. (1171n,384r)

        b.     William Alexander "Bud" East, b 3 Oct 1851 in GA, was a policeman at Denison in the 1890s and into the 1900s. He died 12 March 1933 and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery at Denison. William married Dixie Owen from McKinney, Collin Co TX in 1894 and it was the second marriage for both. She was born 2 August 1861 in KY. They had no children. (1171n 121q,,384PNruvwf)

        c.     Martha East, b 1852 in GA. (121q,384r)

        d.     Sarah J East, b 1854 in GA. (121q,384r)

        e.     Ellie P East, b 1856 in GA. (121q,384r)

        f.     Atilla Josephus East, b 1858 in GA. (121q,384r)

        g.     Isham N East, b 1861 in GA. (384r)

        h.     Drewey N East, b 1863 at Buffalo, Newton Co MO. (384r)

        i.      George L East, b 1866 at Buffalo, Newton Co MO. (384r)

        j.      Louisa East, b 1869 at Buffalo, Newton Co MO. (384r) (76G,L,1171n 121q,,384r)

9.     Tyleany Jane East, b 4 Oct 1824, died by 1830. (76G,30i)

10.   Squire East, b 4 Mar 1822 (76G)

11.   Mary Ann East, b 8 Sep 1826 in Patrick Co VA, married Elisha W Bond in Murray Co GA on 25 Nov 1849. Two of Mary's brothers, Seaton and Drury, also lived in Murray Co in 1850. Mary Ann and Elisha lived with his siblings in 1850 in Murray Co. Elisha was born in 1824 in GA. In 1860 they were in Whitfield Co GA. She died in the 1860s and Elisha married again to Mary L McLain in Whitfield Co on 22 March 1861, then lived in Murray Co and had three more children by 1870. Mary's children were-

        a.     Mary P Bond, b 1850 in Murray Co GA. (1172q)

        b.     Elisha W Bond, b 1852 in Murray Co GA. (1172q) maybe moved to Conway Co AR by 1870?

        c.     Cassa J Bond, b 1856 in GA. (1172q,1171r) (76G,1171mnr,1172qm)

12.   Zella L East, b 8 Aug 1830 in Patrick Co VA, moved with her parents to Murray Co GA in the 1840s. (76G,1171n) (W,30ipyz, 1043pt,240y, 1171n, 653r)

        William East married Elizabeth Pigott at Trenton, MO on 1 September 1806. See Richard East who married Ann Beck in Trenton in 1788. Richard may be William's father. (L)

        William East [E1b1], son of Thomas East and Sarah Graves, was born 29 June 1791 in Henry Co VA. He married Mary Haskins in Charlotte Co on 3 February 1834; John Haskins posted the bond and her mother was Susannah C Haskins. A witness was Price Roach; see Thomas East who married Mary Roach in 1827. William may have married prior to 1810 since there is a William East on the 1810 Henry Co tax list with just one female in the household; his uncle William East [E1f] was by this time living in AL. William was not named in his father's estate settlement of February 1844, nor was he named in the Lawrenceburg Times Newspaper of the same time concerning the estate. All other children of Thomas were named, but not William, nor any children if he had any. And in a court deposition at Savannah, TN in October 1878, Archibald G McDougal and Reuben East both did not mention William as an heir. Therefore William had probably died between 1838 and 1844, so long prior to 1878 that he was forgotten by or unknown to the next generation. (B,EP,NL,28t,24m)

        William East [E13a1h], son of James East and Martha Clarkson, was born about 1792 in VA, probably in Amherst Co, the part which became Nelson Co in 1807. (M92,L,JE)

        William East [E4c5b1], probably a son of William East [E4c5b] who lived in Laurens Co SC in 1810, was born 5 September 1795 in SC and lived in Laurens Co. In 1810 in Laurens Co there were William East and Joel East living next to each other, in a neighborhood with Jones, Crawford, Gray Corley Couch, Templeton, Smith, and Stiles families nearby. Both the elder William and Joel East were born between 1766 and 1784, and had children aged under 15. So their actual birth dates would probably be in the 1770s or early 1780s. This would be the right age to be the father of the younger William East (born 1795). Since the father of Joel is known (John Thomas East [E4c5a], born about 1740), and since Joel was living next door to William (Sr) in 1810, then it is very likely that this elder William was another son of John Thomas East. Joel had two sons under age 10 in 1810, and William (Sr) had one son born 1795-1800. Joel had two daughters under age 10 and a young wife born between 1785 and 1794. Hence, he was not the father of the William born in 1795; William, brother of Joel must have been the father of the younger William. The elder William had one daughter under age 10, a wife of the same age as Joel's wife, and there was an elder woman in his home, age 45 or older.

        In Laurens Co in 1800 there were two William East men (of six East families). Both were aged 26 to 44. One lived in Captain John Young's district (census page 28A), and the other was in the same area (census page 29A) and was called William East Junr. The East families in Laurens Co in 1800 were as follows:

Pg 24B, Thomas East, age 26-44.

Pg 24B, Thomas East Sen, age 45 or older, with a young man age 16-25 in his home. Both these two Thomas East men were next door to each other in Capt Scot's Company.

Pg 28A, William East, age 26-44; this begins Captain John Young's district. This William had two sons under age 10, one son age 10-15, two daughters under age 10, and a wife of the same age as William.

Pg 28A, Josiah East and his wife; they were the elderly couple in this household, age 45 or older. Some of these East families moved to central KY in the 1810s, and there were two Josiah East marriages in KY by 1820. There were no little children in the Josiah East home in 1810.

Pg 28B, Tarlton East, age 26-44; was two doors from Josiah. Tarlton had four sons under age 10, a son age 16-25, two men age 26-44, two daughteres age under 10, and a wife afe 26-44.

Pg 29A, William East Junr, age 26-44. His family consisted of two sons under age 10, one daughter age 10-15, and a wife of William Junr's age.

The East families shown on census pages 28-29 had the same neighboring families as Joel and William did in 1810; the neighbors near both Thomas East families were quite different from the neighbors who lived near Joel and William in 1810.

        In 1820 both William East families were three doors from each other in Laurens Co. Both were age 45 older. Both were married, but one had a wife (daughter?) born 1776-1794; the other William's wife was age 45 or older. The youngest sons of both families were born 1805-1810. The eldest sons in both families were born 1795-1804. Both had one or two daughters under age 10. Both had a daughter born 1795-1804. Hence, both of these William East men were born by the mid-1770s and both could be the father of William born in 1795 who lived his life in Laurens Co.

        William (born 1795) married Bethiah L Saxon about 1832; there is no listing for William in Laurens Co in 1830, so he was probably not married yet. Bethia was born 27 June 1813 in SC, and died on 14 January 1887. William may have been a brother of Samuel East; they lived just a few doors apart in 1850 in Laurens Co. William died on 20 July 1876 and afterwards Bethiah lived in Hunter Twp with her son Colier. Both William and Bethiah were members of Hopewell Methodist Church in Laurens Co. They had at least nine children, all born in SC-

a.     Samuel Barksdale East, b 8 Dec 1832, died 15 August 1858. (MV, 3kn)

b.     William Washington East, b 22 Nov 1835, died 29 June 1862. He married Sallie Elizabeth Whitmore on 10 March 1862. She was born in 1837 in Newberry Co, daughter of Nathan P Whitmore and Edna Andrews, and died 15 November 1885 at Joanna, Laurens Co. (MV, W,3kn)

c.     J H L East (son), b 1837 (3knq)

d.     Sarah C East, b 1840, had (maybe?) married about 1864, but was living with her parents in 1870 without a husband. In 1880 she was living with her brother Colin, with her son; both used the East family name in 1870-

        a.     William Colin East, b 1865 in SC. (3rs) (3nqrs)

e.     Olin D East, b Jan 1843 in Laurens Co SC, was an attorney in 1880, living at Texarkana, Bowie Co TX. Olin had not married as of 1900, and was then living in Cherokee Co TX. In 1910 he was still a lawyer, still single, and living at Rusk, Cherokee Co. (3nq,102s, 439uv)

f.      Mary E East, b 1846 (3nq)

g.     Martha L East, b 1848 (3nq)

h.     L A East (son), b 1851 (3q)

i.      Colin D East (son), b 1854, was a physician in 1880, living in Hunter Twp, Laurens Co. His sister Sarah lived with him then; she was apparently a widow or was divorced. His mother also lived with Colier in 1880. Colin was still living in Laurens Co in 1910, and had not married. (3qrsv) (M92:12/89,3ehknqrs)

        William East married Polly Talley on 5 July 1814 in Halifax Co VA; the marriage bond was posted by Ellington Talley on 17 February 1814. He was also a witness, as was Richard East and Jesse Talley. Polly was over the age of 21 at the time. (M92,26m)

        William East married Rebecca Miller in 1815 in Halifax Co VA. (M92)

        William East [E11], parents unknown, was born in 1799 in VA. He married Drucilla _____ about 1832 or about 1837, and in 1840 lived in Wayne Co IN, and in 1850 were in DeWitt Co IL. Drucilla was born in KY in 1815, so they likely married there or in IN. Since Drucilla was fifteen years younger than William, and there was a five year span between the births of the first two sons, Drucilla may be second wife. After they moved to DeWitt Co, they remained there into the 1880s. In 1880, William claimed that he was born in WV, not VA. Perhaps his native VA county became part of WV in 1865 when the state was formed. He also said his father was born in PA and his mother in VA. Drucilla's parents were both born in MD.

        Before DeWitt Co IL, they lived in IN for at least twelve years. In all of IN in 1840, there were three William East families; The one in Monroe Co was too young, and had too few children. The William East family in Wayne Co on census page 332 (Richmond Twp) living next door to the Richard Rush family were both Free Colored families. And the third William East family, also in Wayne Co, was on census page 254 (Centre Twp). This is the William who later moved to DeWitt Co IL. All the adult ages and the children's ages and sex match what we see in the 1850 census for this same William. These two William East families were the only East families in Wayne Co IN in 1840.

        In Wayne Co IN in 1830 there were two East families: William East, born 1770s with a son born in the 1790s in the home, two teenage sons, and two sons under age 5. Also, the oldest woman was born in the 1780s, with six younger females ranging with birth years from about 1805 to the 1790s. This family could be elderly parents with sons and daughters and grandchildren all in the same home. This was William East [E4c3a6] from Grayson Co VA. Nearby was the Joel East family; this Joel was born between 1801 to 1810; his wife was the same age, and they had a boy and girl under age 5. There was also a James East in Wayne Co in 1830. He and his wife were the same ages as Joel, but they had three sons; the eldest boy was born 1806 to 1810, and the two others were under age 5 in 1830. James East was on census page 56 while Joel East and the large William East families were on page 67. Joel and James East, and the large William East family had left the state by 1840; they went to Cass Co MI. About the time he and his family left Wayne Co IN and moved to Cass Co MI, William and Druscilla settled into Wayne Co.

        William's and Drucilla's first five children were born at Centre Twp, Wayne Co IN; the rest were born in DeWitt Co IL-

a.     Rush Pritchet East, b Apr 1833

b.     David C East, b 1837

c.     Augusta East, b 1838, had not married by 1870. (52k,685nqr)

d.     Caroline East, b 1841 (685nq)

e.     Sarah B East, b 1843 (685nq)

f.      Edward Hudson East, b 18 Oct 1845

g.     Adalade East, b 1848

h.     Josephine East, b 1848. In 1870 she was a domestic servant in the James and Elmira M Bradley home at Wapella, DeWitt Co. (685nqr)

i.      Zachariah T East, b Aug 1850

j.      William East, b 1853, was not found after 1880. (685qrs)

k.     Henry C East, b 1855, was not found after 1870. (685qr)

m.    Carra East, b 1859, died in the 1860s. (685q)

n.     Grace East, b 1867, is probably a granddaughter (daughter of Rush?) and not a daughter who was living with William and Drucilla in 1870. She was not there in 1880. (685r) (52k, 685nqrs)

        William East [E4c5a2c], son of Thomas East and Nancy Caldwell, was born 2 January 1803 in Laurens Co SC. He married Elizabeth Forbes, who was born about 1802 in TN. In 1830 William and Elizabeth were the only East family in East Feliciana Parish LA, and they were still there in 1860, living near Jackson. (In 1860 Elizabeth was age 50; she aged only two years in the past ten years.) Their next door neighbor in 1850 was his brother Langston. William's children were-

1.     son East, b abt 1820 (M92,104j)

2.     son East, b 1821-1825 (M92,104j)

3.     Malissa. J East, b 1829 in East Feliciana Parish LA, married Charles B Pipes, and they were living with her parents in East Feliciana Par LA in 1850. At that time, they had no children. Charles was born about 1825 in LA, probably a son of D Pipes Jr (the only Pipes family in E Feliciana Parish in 1840). In 1860 this couple was living at Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish and in 1870 they were back in East Feliciana Parish livin near Clinton. They had at least two children-

        a.     Mary A Pipes, b 1855 (105q,104r)

        b.     Elle Pipes, b 1858 (105q,104r)

        c.     Thomas Pipes, b 1862 (104r)

        d.     William Pipes, b 1866 (104r)

In 1860, living with Malissa and Charles was Christopher Ricker, age 49 and born in Prussia. (104in,105q)

4.     son East, b 1826-1830, probably died by 1840. (M92,104j)

5.     Thomas Langston East, b 21 Apr 1832 in East Feliciana Parish LA (per 1850 census), or born in MS (per 1860 census). In 1850 he was living with his parents, but in 1860 he was living next to his sister Malissa at Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish. He had married Margaret _____. She was of the same age, and born in LA. They had three children by 1860-

        a.     Elizabeth L East, b 1848 in either East Baton Rouge or in East Feliciana Parish LA. (105q)

        b.     Emily A East, b 1855 in either East Baton Rouge or in East Feliciana Parish LA. (105q)

        c.     Margaret M East, b Dec 1859 in East Baton Rouge LA. (105q)

It appears that because of the age of child Elizabeth in 1860, she may be a daughter from a prior marriage of Margaret. (104n,105q) (M92,104jn,105q)

        William East [E4c5a1m], son of Tarlton East Sr and Zilpha Priscilla Walker, was born 4 July 1806 in KY. He was a boy when his parents moved to LA where he grew up. His was the only East family in the 1830 Federal census for LA, and he was in East Feliciana Parish. All his brothers who moved to this area of the US were in MS, or were missed on census records in 1830. William had married a woman born in the 1790s, so she was a bit older than William. Also, in their home in 1830 was a much older woman. She was in her 70s. And since William's mother had died in 1823, this lady was perhaps William's mother-in-law. William and his wife had four children by 1830-

2.     son East, b 1821-1825 (104j)

4.     son East, b 1826-1830 (104j) (W)

        William East [E4c5a4c], son of Joel East and Rebecca Lofton, was born 4 July 1806 in Laurens Co SC, and died 1 December 1847, probably in VA. He had married Louisa Fitzgerald in Nelson Co VA on 6 July 1823. (W,3h,538i,647m) See William East [E4c5a1m], son of Tarlton East Sr; best guess is that this William East is not Joel's son.

        William East, born between 1801 and 1810, was found in Fayette Co TN in 1840 with his wife and children. His wife was born between 1801 and 1810. By 1850 there were no East families living in Fayette Co, although there were East children living with other families. Wherever William and his family moved is not known. By 1840 they had at least four children-

1.     son East, b 1831-1835

2.     dau East, b 1831-1835

3.     son East, b 1836-1840

4.     son East, b 1836-1840 (12kn)

        William East [E4a2a5d], son of William East and Rhoda Clark, was born about 1810 in Charlotte Co VA (born 1805-1810 per 1820 census). He married Mary Haskins on 3 February 1834 in Charlotte Co. He was not found in Charlotte Co in 1840. There was a boy Robert W East, age 15, found living in the William Smith hotel at Charlotte in 1850, and was a bar keep. The only East men who could be his father were William who married Mary Haskins, and Isaac who did have a boy of Robert's age. But Isaac was living at Charlotte Co in 1850, and Robert wasn't in his home, although two other children were. In any case, neither William nor Robert W East were found outside Charlotte Co after 1850, and William wasn't found after 1830. (24imn)

        William East, born in 1810 in MS, was living in Lowndes Co MS in 1850 with Sarah _____, who appeared to be his wife. Sarah was born in MS also, in 1818. They had two sons by 1850-

1.     Lafon East, b 1837

2.     Samuel East, b 1842 (58n)

        William East [E4a2a4i], son of Isaac East and Joyce Pemberton, was born about 1815 at Locust Grove, Adams Co OH, and died before 1830 in Adams Co. (W)

        William East [E9], parents unknown, was born in 1823 in VA. He married Sarah Johnson about 1854 and they lived in Upshur Co TX in 1860. She was born in AL in 1830. William and Sarah were the only East family in Upshur Co in 1860. A search of the 1850 census for the USA revealed that there were only three William East men who where born about 1823 in VA. One was already married to a Ms Caroline and lived in Halifax Co VA in 1850 with their son Elisha East; this was actually William David East [E10d4] who married Caroline Frances Moore, and remained in VA for many years. The second William was married to Ms Elizabeth and lived in Stokes Co NC in 1850, with their three children; this William was actually William A East [E4a3w] and in 1860 he was not in TX. The third William was born in VA in 1824, married a Ms Sarah Jane about 1858, and lived in VA into the 1860s before they moved to OH about 1867. So it does not appear that any of these three William East men was the one who was in Upshur Co TX in 1860. And the Upshur Co William was not found after 1860, nor was his wife Sarah, until she appeared in son John's home in the 1910 census and was then a widow. Hence, the ancestry of William and Sarah remain a mystery, and William is assigned the yet unused ID# [E9]. They had two children in Upshur Co-

a.     Martha Lucinda East, b Jan 1855

b.     John William East, b 9 Aug 1858 (435q,358v)

        William East [E12], parents unknown, was born in VA in January 1824 and probably grew up there. He married Sarah Jane _____ in 1858 and they lived in VA until about 1867 when they moved to Perry, Pike Co OH. They were not found on any census oprior to 1870. In 1880 they lived in Wayne Co IN, and in 1900 were in Delaware Co IN. Sarah Jane was born in VA also, in November 1835, and died at Muncie, Delaware Co IN on 18 August 1907. She was probably buried in Strong Cemetery at Albany, where her husband William was buried. After she died, William lived with his son Ezekiel at Center, Delaware Co. He died at Albany, Delaware Co on 29 December 1915. His gravestone said he was "Aged 91y." They had a large family of ten children, with nine still living in 1900-

a.     Mary J East, b 1859 in VA, married in the 1870s. (475r)

b.     Lucinda E East, b 1861 in VA, married William Henry Kirkman in Wayne Co IN on 17 June 1878, and they lived next door to her parents in 1880. William was born in Guilford Co NC in 1848, and died in CA. (475r,52ms)

e.     Sarah W East, b Jan 1866 in VA, married Willard E Miller in Wayne Co IN on 18 June 1879. They lived in Wayne Co at Center in 1900, but were at Wayne in 1880. He was born in January 1857 in Wayne Co IN, son of James Albert Miller and Hannah Gordon. In 1910 Willard reported that he was a widower, and lived with his son Herschel. Yet many of the sons in 1917, when they reported for the WW1 draft, said they had to support their mother. Sarah, in 1910, was living at Hamilton, Butler Co OH with three of her children, and also claimned she was a widow. She and Willard split up or divorced soon before 1910, and she married a Mr (Thomas?) Hughes before 1930, and he then died by 1930. Sarah was found at Greensfork, Randolph Co IN in 1930, living with three grandchildren. The younger children who were yet too young to be on their own, and who would most likely be living with their mother in 1910 and were not shown on the census with her, were Mabel and the twins Vernon and Victor. Sarah died 22 November 1940 at Springfield, Clark Co OH. She and Willard had eleven children, all but the last born in Wayne Co IN-

In 1930 there was a 32 year old Lucille James living at Indianapolis, divorced, and living alone; she was married at age 17; that person was apparently not her because her husband in 1920 was Thomas James, born in IN in 1885. (W,M, 52u,378v,737v, 383wf)

        William Alan East [E1d1a3i1c], son of Van Phillips East Jr and Dorothy Marie Vinson, was born 23 June 1969 at Amory, MS. (NF)

        William Albert East [E4c1a2g2], probably a son of Addison East and Elizabeth Decker, was born in 1824 in Davidson Co TN (age 0-4 in 1830, 28 in 1850, 35 in 1860, 47 in 1870, 56 in 1880). He lived in Madison Co TN in 1850 with his wife's parents William W Searcy (1800 KY) and Catherine Marshall (1805 TN), then moved to Lavaca Co TX in the winter of 1856-1857. William's thought his father was born in KY and his mother in TN, per the 1880 census, but since William was age 7 when his father died, the birth place was likely forgotten over the years. Since William married in Davidson Co, then it would be more likely to assume that William lived in northern TN as a boy, in or close to Davidson Co. In 1830 in TN there were just eight East families; they were in Giles Co, Davidson Co, Smith Co, and Roane Co. Smith and Davidson Counties are very close to each other, separated by Wilson Co, so these would be the likely counties where William was born. Roane and Giles Counties are quite a distance from Davidson Co. So the four East families from Smith and Davidson Counties in 1830 were Edward East and Addison East in Davidson Co (they were brothers), and Ezekiel East and Joseph East in Smith Co. Of these four families in 1830, Addison had three boys under the age of 5, and no sons in the 5-9 age range. Edward had no sons under the age of 30. Ezekiel had one son under the age of 5 and no sons in the 5-9 age range. Joseph East had two sons under the age of 5, and none in the 5-9 age range. Hence, William's likely parent would probably be either Add1son who lived at Nashville in 1830, or Ezekiel or Joseph who lived in Smith Co.

        In 1840, in Davidson Co, there was an Edward H East who had two sons in the 5-9 age range, but no sons who were young teens (William Albert East's age in 1840). In 1840 in Smith Co, Ezekiel had one son age 10-14; Joseph East had two sons who were of William's age. Also in Davidson Co in 1840 was William W Searcey, but who had no daughters of an age of William's future wife Elizabeth H Searcy. It does appear that Addison East was the likely father of William Albert East. See the short biography of Addison East [E4c1a2g]. Addison died in 1833 at Nashville, and his children must have been taken in by other family members. Addison did have sons of William Albert East's age.

        William married Elizabeth Harris Searcy on 5 May 1846 in Davidson Co TN. Davidson Co in 1846 was five counties northeast from Madison Co, and Madison Co was three counties east of the Mississippi River. Soon after William and Elizabeth married, they and her parents must have moved to Madison Co. Elizabeth was born in TN in 1822 (age 28 in 1850, 30 in 1860, 41 in 1870, 56 in 1880). William A East was a medical doctor. In 1870 they lived at Anderson, Grimes Co TX, and in 1880 they were back in Lavaca Co. He died at Waco, TX on 9 December 1885. Elizabeth died at Waco on 8 September 1893. She was buried in Oakwood Cemetery. They had seven children by 1860-

        William Anderson East [E4c3b4f2], son of Thomas Pinckney East and Sarah Jane Carmichael, was born 19 May 1837 in Monroe Co IN (he was shown as a son aged 5-9 in 1840). He married Mary Margaret Morris in Greene Co IN on 3 August 1859. Mary was born in OH on 29 April 1838, daughter of David Morris from MD and Barbara Wilhelm from Coshocton Co. OH. Her parents were Pennsylvania Dutch. Mary Margaret smoked a pipe. Because of religious issues, she and William were shunned by the family. In 1870 they lived at Jefferson, Greene Co, but in March 1876 moved to Marion, Hamilton Co IA. They took a train to Boone, IA and then hired someone to take them by horse drawn bobsled to the farm William had rented in Clear Lake Twp in Hamilton Co. Later they bought a farm one mile north of Stanhope, IA. William farmed until his death on 20 October 1902 at his farm and was buried in Lawn Hill Cemetery south of Stanhope.

        William Andrew East [E4c6c1d6b], son of John East and Elizabeth A Coffey, was born 26 February 1855 in Adair Co KY. He married Amanda J Cundiff in Adair Co on 22 August 1878 and they lived at Columbia, Adair Co. In 1880 they lived next door to Amanda's parents. Amanda was born in Adair Co on 9 December 1853, daughter of William Mortimer Cundiff (1818-1903) and Martha Massie (1824-1873), and died in Adair Co on 20 July 1939 of cancer. William died in Adair Co on 28 October 1892. He was buried in Cundiff Cemetery in Adair Co, next to their daughter Mattie. Amada's deathj certificate said she was also buriued in Cundiff Cemetery, but her gravestone was not found. William's and daughter Mattie's gravestones do not have any dates, and their stones only have initials. These gravestones were crude slabs of granite with the lettering hand carved onto the stones, as if done at home by a family member. Amanda's parents were also buried in Cundiff Cemetery, but their gravestones were professionally done. Perhaps William's family had little money at the time, and hence he and Mattie got home made stones. They had four children, all born in Adair Co-

1,     Mattie E East, b Sep 1879, died 11 March 1894 at "age 15," of pneumonia. (135suvd)

        William Austin East [E4c6c3f12b1], son of Charles Edward East and Clarissa McKay, was born 27 September 1894 at Vera Cruz, Douglas Co MO. He married Minnie Ellen Perry at Saylor, OK on 16 September 1913, and they lived in OK until 1917 when they moved back to AR, settling at Richland, Crawford Co. Minnie was born 24 March 1897 in Crawford Co, daughter of John Thomas Perry and Elvira Henson. In the early 1920s Austin and Minnie moved back to OK, where Minnie died at Tulsa on 29 March 1925; she was buried at Redfork near Tulsa. Austin then married Mary Ollie Denham at Sapulpa, Creek Co OK on 13 April 1926. Mary was born 29 August 1904 in IL and this was her second marriage; her first marriage was at age 13. She died 24 November 1972 at Omaha, NE. She was buried at Inola, OK. William died at Tulsa, OK on 25 August 1963 and was buried at Inola, OK.

        William B East [E4c6c3h4], son of Given East and Elizabeth Edwards, was born in 1829 in Ripley Co IN. He married Nancy Daringer in Ripley Co on 14 October 1851. She was born in 1834. (W,507kn)

        William B East [E4c6c3a5b], son of Conrad East and Susannah A West, was born in 1842 in Garrard Co KY. He moved from Garrard Co to Madison Co, then to Carroll Co over the years. He married Cordelia Johnston in neighboring Henry Co on 21 June 1867, and apparently she died soon after the birth of their daughter. William was living with his parents in 1870, with no wife nor children.

        William married again, to Elmira F _____ in 1871 and they soon after moved to IL, then to Sumner Co KS in 1880, In 1900 they were still in Sumner Co. Elmira was born in KY in March 1851. In 1910 Elmire was dead, and William was living with his middle child at Los Angeles, CA. His son Irvin Dewitt East named William as his closest relative in September 1918, and said that William was then living at Los Angeles. William was not found after then, so he had probably died in southern CA before 1920. He had a daughter with his first wife Cordelia, then at least eight children with Elmire-

4.     Walter A East, b Mar 1878 in IL. He married Rhoda Vashti Honeyman in 1907 and in 1910 they lived at Newton, Harvey Co KS. Rhoda was born at New Boston, Mercer Co IL on 16 September 1870, daughter of William Jackson Honeyman and Frances America Swallow. Rhoda and her parents moved to Newton, Harvey Co when she was a girl, and probably married Walter there. He was a barber at Newton. He and Rhoda had no children by 1910. They were not found in 1920, but in 1930 Rhoda was a widow, living at Wichita, KS. She had son living with her, but his name was Orvall S Honeyman and he was born 25 March 1892 at Newton, before Rhoda married Walter. Hence, Rhoda had a son out of wedlock before she married, then after Walter died, her son lived with her. There does not appear to be any children with Walter. In 1910, Orville lived with Walter and Rhoda, but he was shown to be a brother-il-law of Walter. Since Rhoda's mother was born in 1841, Orville could not be Rhoda's brother. Also living at Newton, KS in 1910 was Walter's distant cousin Louis Austin East [E4c6c5d10e], son of James East and Alice A Noe. (W,M,1016r, 1015u,912suv,103f)

5.     Eva Belle East, b Aug 1880 in Sumner Co KS. She married Scott Sense in 1900, probably in Sumner Co since Scott was also born in KS. They had a son, then moved to San Antonio, Los Angeles Co by 1910. He was the town constable in CA and was born in 1878. (1015u, 70v)

6.     Irvin Dewitt East, b 30 Mar 1883 in Sumner Co KS. When he registered for the draft in September 1918 at Caldwell, KS, he named his father "Wm B East" at Los Angeles, CA as his nearest relative. Irvin was a civil engineer. (M,1015u)

        William Benjamin East, parents unknown, was born 25 July 1872 in MO of MO born parents. He often used just his middle name. In 1900 Benjamin lived at Liberty, Madison Co MO a few doors from Napoleon Bonapart East [E4c3a3b2f4]. Benjamin had married Polly Ann Stumbaugh in 1891. In 1920 they lived at Cedar Creek, Wayne Co, then in 1920 were back in Madison Co where they remained. In 1920 they were living in Twelvemile Twp. Polly was born at Arcadia, Iron Co MO in January 1875, daughter of James Stumbaugh and Eliza _____ (both born in OH). William Ben died at St Louis on 22 June 1956. The person who filled in the death certificate informatiopn did not know who Ben's parents were; the informant was Lynn Wilson (wife of grandson Glenn Wilson?).

        William E East [E14d13], son of James East Jr and Mary Edwards, was born about 1816 in Madison Co IL. He may have moved to Missouri Twp in Pike Co AR in the 1860s. He was the William E East who married Arranette McElroy in Madison Co IL on 5 January 1837, and in 1840 they lived in Madison Co.

        William H East [E4c3a6i], son of William East and Rachel Talbot, was born 17 April 1817 in Wayne Co IN, probably near the White Water Quaker Church since his parents were members there since December 1815.

Mary Lundy was born 9 September 1826 in Grant Co IN and died in Cass Co MI on 25 December 1846. Her gravestone says she was "20y 4m" which incorrectly puts her birth date in August 1826; Quaker records have the accurate date. Mary probably died of complications from the birth of her son Evan. William married again, this time to Melvina E Williams on 1 March 1857 in Cass Co. She was born in 1833 in Wayne Co IN.

        William J East [E4c6c5d4a8], son of George A C East and Sophronia Jackson Dunagan, was born 2 December 1882 in Wayne Co KY, and died 24 January 1884. He was buried in the East family cemetery a short distance east of Betsey. His gravestoe says "Son of G.A.C and S.J." (125c)

        William Isaac East [E4c5a1g2], son of Isaac W East and Margaret Smith, was born in 1825 at Meadville, Franklin Co MS. He married Keziah Smith at Meadville, Franklin Co MS on 19 October 1843. In the 1850 and 1860 census of Copiah Co MS, William and Keziah lived close to Joel Walker East [E4a3a1a11], William's uncle. William was not a child of Joel since Joel had no son of William's age in the 1840 census for Joel.

        Of all the East men of this area of MS in 1830 (southwest MS, including Franklin Co and Copiah Co, and two counties north of LA) who were of age to have a son of William's age, there was just one in Franklin Co, and five in Copiah Co: Isaac East [E4c5a1g] in Franklin Co MS, born 1796, had just one son and four daughters, and a wife born 1804; James East [E4c5a2b] in Copiah Co, newly married with no children, and born in 1800s; next door to this James East was his father Thomas East [E4c5a2], born in 1771, and had six children (or grandchildren?), including a boy born 1821-1825, and a wife born 1780s; John East [E4c5a1c] in Copiah Co, born in 1791 with a wife born in the 1790s, and seven children, including three sons born pre-1830; Josiah East [E4c5a2a] in Copiah Co, born in 1797 with a wife born in 1800, and had two sons and two daughters born pre-1830; Tarlton East [E4c5a1i] in Copiah Co, born 1799 with a wife born 1800s, and one daughter under age 5. Of all these Copiah Co families in 1830, John was on page 105, James and Thomas were on census page 106, Josiah was on page 118; Tarlton was on page 126.

        In this same area of MS in 1840, Isaac East [E4c5a1g] was still in Franklin Co (page 166); his one son from the 1830 census was now an older teen, plus he had two more daughters, another young son, and his wife was now much younger (she was his second wife, Rebecca Smith, born in 1813). There was now a second East family in Franklin Co (page 167), James East [E4c5a2b], born in the 1800s with a wife the same age, and four children under age 10. This James East appears to be the newly married James East from the 1830 Copiah Co census. Copiah Co in 1840 had just two east families: Joel East [E4c5a1k] (page 111) and Josiah East [E4c5a2a] (page 107). Joel was born in the 1805, his wife was born in 1814, and they had one son age 5-9 and four daughters under age 5. Josiah was born in 1797, his wife in the 1800s, and they had six children; one son was born in 1821-1825.

        Note that from the ID#s of the above named East men in the 1830 and 1840 census records, these people descend from two brothers Tarlton East [E4c5a1] and Thomas East [E4c5a2]. Therefore the ties between these two greater East families in both counties must have been close. William was very likely a son of Isaac W East, and was a Baptist Minister who owned many slaves.

        Keziah was born in MS in 1821 daughter of William W Smith and Charity _____. In 1850 William Isaac East and Keziah lived in Copiah Co; in the state cenbsis of 1853, William had a son and two daughters by then (2 males and 3 females in his home). In the 1860s they moved to Franklin Co (the part which became Lincoln Co in 1870). She died at Brookhaven, Lincoln Co on 20 October 1873. William then married Samantha _____ and continued living in Lincoln Co; he was a physician in 1880. Samantha was born in AL in 1848. William died there on 7 May 1899. He and Keziah were buried in Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery at Brookhaven. They had four children, all born in Copiah Co or Franklin Counties MS-

His WW1 draft record says he was an Italian citizen, born in Albania. He was a working for Irene's father as a truck driver. Her father then was the proprietor of a cafe; Irene was the cook. Alex died at Fulton, Callaway Co in August 1978, and Irene died there on 7 January 1999. When Alex first came to the US, he lived at Columbia, MO and was a shoe shine shop operator. It appears that a younger brother Steffan came to Columbia from Armenia in 1915 and worked at their shine shop. In 1917 Alex was a waiter at a restaurant. This was the era of the Turkish genocide of the Armenian people. (Z,605w, 842u, 826v, 848w) (MOd,218q,685rm,597s,842u,826v, 848w)

Laticia Nelson, born in September 1878, was the last child listed in their home in 1900, and she was single. She was apparently a daughter of Lores. from a prior marriage.

        William M East [E4a3a6d1c1], son of John Van Buren East and Martha Jane Alexander, was born in 1857 in AR, probably Lawrence Co. His mother's older brother was named William Manson Alexander, so William M East may have been named after his uncle.

She was born in 1887 in AL, perhaps Marshall Co AL where they lived in 1910, and died in 1975. She was buried next to William in Mt Pleasant Baptist Church Cemetery, Clem, Carroll Co. He died in 1932; his gravestone has an incorrect birth date. William had eight children in 1910, with seven still living then, and probably one more child with Mary by 1914.

h.     Lucille East, b 1914 in Marhsll Co AL. She appears to be a daughter of Pamela, but Pamela said she was first married at age 30, which would have been in 1917. So Lucille must be a daughter of William's first wife Mary E. Lucille was not found in the 1930 census with her father. (272w)

        Winny East [E4c3a3b3], daughter of Joseph Isham East and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick, was born in 1808 in Smith Co TN (age 42 in 1850, age 48 in 1860, age 59 in 1870). She was Winny in 1850, Winney in 1860, and Winny in 1870. She married James Driver about 1826, probably in Smith Co. In 1850 they lived among Winny's many brothers in Macon Co TN, in civil district 9, and was next door to her mother and two youngest sisters. James was born in NC in 1802 (age 56 in 1860). In the mid 1850s they moved to Madison Co MO and were there in 1860 in Twelvemile Twp. Other than James, this whole family was born in Smith and Macon Counties TN. James apparently died in the 1860s because Winny was the head of her home in Myatt Twp in 1870, living next door to her son James. The census taker had written James Driver as the head of the house, then corrected himself and wrote Winny over James' name; perhaps James had just recently died, and was still on everyone's memory as still being the head of the home. Their ten children were-

a.     Ezekiel Driver, b 1828

b.     Thomas Driver, b 1829

c.     David Driver, b 1832

Lewis married Worda's cousin Anna Laura East [E1b4b1b] at Sherman, TX about 1913, she having been widowed when her first husband Jeremiah Cherry Young died in 1899. Lewis died at Tyronza on 19 January 1938 and is buried in the Tyronza Cemetery; Worda died at Memphis 6 August 1945, and at the wishes of their children, was buried near Lewis. Their children were-

        Wrena East [E1b12a1], daughter of Thomas Jefferson East and Nancy Lou Tulley, was born in 1869 in DeSoto Co MS. She probably died in the 1870s in DeSoto Co. (35rs,85u)

        Wyatte Pinkney East [E19a2k], son of Zealous Ray East and Mahuldah Armour, was born 27 October 1856 in Randolph Co AL. He married Izora B D Pool in the early 1880s.

Wyatte and Izora had seven children, all born in Randolph Co AL and all still alive in 1900-

1.     Wilson William East, b 25 Oct 1879, and married Mattie Louisa Sands on 28 December 1899 in Chambers Co AL. In 1900 they lived at Roanoke five doors from his father. Mattie was born 8 February 1876 (1878 per 1900 and 1920 censuses) and died 18 February 1943. Wilson died 8 January 1930 in AL and was buried in High Pine Baptist Church Cemetery, Randolph Co, as was Mattie. By 1920 they had moved a short distance south into Chambers Co, which is where they probably died. They had three children-

        a.     Mary Lou East, b 1903 (W,47v,256w)

        b.     Sadie East, b 1907 (W,47v,256w)

        c.     child East, b 1900s, died by 1910. (47v)

Wilson's draft records and all census records say he was born in 1879; his gravestone says 1880 in error. (W,M,47uvc, 256w)

2.     John Henry East, b 10 Jan 1882. In September 1918 when he registered for the draft, he was living at Roanoke and was a carpenter. Since Henry claimed "W P East" as his closest relative, he was not likely married at that time. (W,M,47u)

3.     Mattie Hulda East, b 23 Mar 1885, died 15 January 1974 at Lafayette, Chambers Co AL. She married Wilburn David Daniel in Randolph Co on 23 October 1904.

6.     Sallie J East, b 21 Sep 1894 (W,47uvb)

7.     Exa H East, b Dec 1899, was not married by the end of 1919. (W,47uvw)

Wyatte's name on most records is spelled Wyatt, without the E on the end; his gravestone uses the E. Izora Pool had older brothers named William & Wilson Pool, probably being the namesakes for Izora's eldest son. (OD,247i,47knqruvc,246m)

        Wyatt W East [E19a7k], son of Amos East and Rachael Griffith, was born in 1855 in Randolph Co AL, and was living with his elder brother Amos in Clay Co in 1870. (243q, 257r)

Wylie participated in the battle at Pea Ridge, AR on March 7-8, 1862. He was felled by disease at Jacksonport, AR on 3 July 1862 and was probably buried at Little Rock National Cemetery; there are over 1,500 Civil War unnamed graves in this cemetery. (M68,M,KL,1060nq)

        Y Z East [E19a3e4c4], son of Austin Odie East and Zella Almead Fuller, was born 14 July 1920 in Randolph Co AL. He died 30 March 1962 and was buried in Sardis Church Cemetery. He married Mattie Lee Latham on 21 June 1941.

        Yancy B East [E4a2a2g5b], son of James Mitchell East and Mary Frances Worsham [E4a2a7c4], was born in February 1871 (age 13 in 1880, 29 in 1900) at Staunton, Pittsylvania Co VA. He married Leodora Susan "Loda" Clay in Pittsylvania Co on 23 May 1894. When married, he was a widower, and age 23. Loda was age 16. She was born in January 1878 (age 20 in 1900) in Halifax Co, daughter of Ferdinand P Clay and Ariminta Finch, and was a sister of Calla A Clay who married Yancy's brother Granville East. Yancy's first wife was Regina East [E4a2a3h3d], married in Pittsylvania Co on 21 September 1890. The record for both marriages showed that Yancy was a son of J M & Mary F East; Regina was shown to be age 16 and a daughter of Agnes East. No father of Regina was named, but he was Ezekiel East Jr, Agnes' father (see Agnes' biography). In 1900 Yancy and Loda lived next to Americus Dillard [E4a2a2b1a], Yancy's double cousin. Yancy and Regina must have died in the 1900s because in 1910 their two youngest children were living with Loda's parents at Staunton. Yancy and Regina had a daughter, and with Loda he had three more children; all were born in Pittsylvania Co VA-

1.     Mary Emma East, b 13 Aug 1891 at Hurt, lived with her great aunt and uncle John W East [E4a2a3h4] and his sister Agnes East [E4a2a3h3] in 1900. Emma's father had recently remarried, and children from a prior marriage, Mary Emma, sometimes are "in the way," so often are taken in by other relatives. Emma wasn't unwanted with John and Agnes; Agnes doted over her children, grand-children, nephews, and nieces. (EL, JY, 27u)

2.     Martha J East, b Feb 1896 (27u)

3.     John Wesley East, b 19 Feb 1899 (age 2 in 1900, 11 in 1910, 37 in 1930), lived with his maternal grandparents in 1910. He used his nickname Bud East as an adult, and when he registered for the WW1 draft in September 1918, he lived at Hurt and named his closest relative as "Miss Nannie East." Bud could not sign his name. He married Susie A Barley in Campbell Co on 3 July 1920. Their marriage record said that they were both age 21 then, and Bud's parents were Yancy B & Loda East; Susie's parents were Granville & Mary Barley. In 1930 Bud was living at Altavista, Campbell Co, and his wife was "Nannie;" the census info gave a correct marriage date to be Susie, but Bud's age was shown as 37. He was a saw sharpener at a cedar plant in 1930. Bud died in February 1930 at Lynchburg City, VA. They had four children by 1930-

        a.     Ruth East, b 1921 (25f)

        b.     Holt Early East, b 24 Jan 1923, married Nora R _____, and died 27 August 1996 at Newport News, VA. Nora was born about 1923. They had a son-

                1.     Ernest L East, b 20 Mar 1946, married Debra G _____. Ernest was one of the major researchers of these East families. (EL,794P) (EL,Z,25f, 795P)

        c.     Elridge East, b Apr 1927 (25f) 

        d.     Talie East (dau), b May 1929 (25f) (M,Z,27uv, 25mf)

4.     Dora Nannie East, b 1903, lived with her maternal grandparents in 1910 and 1920. She was named as her brother John W East's closest relative in 1918 when John (Bud) registered for the draft. He was not yet married then. (27uvw) (EL, 27smu)

        Yancy Thomas East [E1f4], son of William East and Elizabeth Thurston, was born 5 May 1804 in Henry Co VA. He grew up in Madison Co AL, and died on 25 May 1851. Yancy apparently did not marry, nor did he have any children, according to his estate papers which were filed in Madison Co. He was buried in the East family Cemetery with his father. and step-mother Sally Webb. (M92, JF,48pc)

        Zachariah T East [E11i], son of William East from VA and Drucilla ____ from KY, was born in August 1850 in DeWitt Co IL (born at Springfield, Sangamon Co IL per his son Edward's draft card information, which was probably wrong). He and his older siblings lived in a separate home in 1870, away from their parents. In 1880 he lived with his sister Adalade in Vernon Co MO. Zach moved west to WA state, as did his older brothers, by the mid-1880s. He married Mary Jane _____ about 1884, and since she was born in WA (OR per 1900 census), they probably married in WA where they lived in 1900. Mary was born in February 1855, and died at Tonasket, Okanogan Co in the 1920s. Afterwards, Zach lived with his daughter Susan at Oroville. Zach was a farmer and a stock handler. In 1900 they lived at Spring Coulee, Okanogan Co. In 1910 and 1920 they lived at Tonasket, Okanogan Co. They had four children, the eldest three born in WA-

1.     Susie A East, b Oct 1886, married Samuel S Rider in 1910, and was widowed by 1920. Her parents lived next door then at Tonasket; after Susan's mother died, her father then lived with Susan and her sons at Oroville. Susan raised stock after her husband died; since this was one of her father's trades, she may have just worked for him since his age was now getting advanced. Her children were both born in Okanogan Co-
