From:
In response to your posting on the Eastridge family forum (dated 0ct. 1998)...
I think I have found two of Madison's daughters, both married into the Wilson line in Holt Co., MO.
Serilda Caroline, b. 28 Mar 1860, married John R Wilson, and died 1941 in Holt County, MO.
Rachael Ann, b. 23 Apr 1863, married Thomas Tobias Wilson, and died 1933 in Holt Co., MO.
NOTE OF DISCREPANCY: Serilda's obit said she was the dau of Madison and Sarah Elizabeth; Rachael's obit (though it stated she was Serilda's sister) listed the mother was "Amanda" -- any explanations for that?
This info from "GONE HOME" by Eileen Derr -- a great resource for cemetary info and newspaper items from Holt County, MO.
Can supply further info on Serilda and Rachael's descendants if you are interested.

From:
I just happened across the Eastridge sisters while looking up my wife's Wilson line in Holt County. The sisters seem to have married Wilson brothers, John and Tobias. My wife's line descends from a third brother, Jeremiah Heriod Wilson.

Most of the info concerning the sisters comes from the book, "Gone Home, A Directory of the Deceased and Items of History of Holt County Missouri 1837-1981" by Eileen Derr, Private printing limited to 1000 copies, 1981, Farmer Printing Co., Maysville, MO. The book deals mostly with recording tombstone information, but also contains a good deal of info from county newspapers. Serilda and her family are buried in Forest City, MO while
Rachael and family appear to be buried in the Mt. Hope Cemetary in Mound City, MO. See if you can make sense of the info below...

EASTRIDGE was born about 1764 in of, , Virginia. He married Rebecca about 1789 in of, , PA or VA.

BIOGRAPHY: Rebecca Eastridge and her son Isaac came to Indiana from Tenn. He was 19 years old, and had one horse wagon, his mother, an ax and 37 1/2 cents in money when he landed in Crawford County near and part of the Jesse Tucker farm, later it was given to his daughter. Jesse Tucker’s first wife and Jacob and Jesse were brothers who married sisters, Peggy and Ruth Eastridge. Isaac was born March 1794. He was first married to Rebecca, last name unknown. Their children, James,
born January 11, 1818, buried in Fairview. Nancy Parks, born October 8, 1819, buried at Newton Stewart, Ind. Polly Moren, born February 8, 1821, buried at Graysville, Sullivan County.

William Y, born October 17, 1839, died at 10 years, buried at Newton Stewart. Rachel Haskins born July 2, 1843, died Feb. 17,1924, buried Mt.. Lebanon. Isaac Asberry born Sept. 23, 1845, died Oct. 12, 1920 at Fairview. Isaac Sr. died, father of these children, died May 12, 1874. Isaac Eastridge was a tanner, shoe cobbler and farmer, his family of 14 children all lived to have homes. Of their only 2 Jeremiah, who at the age of 17 went swimming in Patoka River and in February, he was stricken with inflamatory rheumatism, only lived three weeks. Wm. Y. died at the age of 10 years with typhoid by swimming too much in Patoka. Their home is now owned by a great grandson, Wilford Newton. Isaac Eastridge would ride to Vincennes to purchase land at one time he went to buy and the forty he wanted had just been sold. He had one 40 he bought with a yearling calf hide, tanned it, made it into boots and shoes. They always called it the ant 40 because it was so infested with ants. He had great vats to tan the hides, bark mills and burnt line kilns. He gave 80 acres of land to all 12 children and an extra 40 to his youngest daughter who was infortunate and a big family. The old bark mills now serve as a covering in Crawford County, as a well cover.
He had a brother John who went to Missouri and a brother James and a sister who married John McWilliams and a sister who married John Cosby, her name was Phoebe, their farm was on the farm where Aaron was born. He first was a member of the U.B.Church at old Mt. Eden, later a Methodist at what used to be Eastridge 1849, class later, Wesley Chapel. He helped build one of the early schools in Jackson Township. Isaac Eastridge was to furnish the boards to cover it and Wm. Stewart to do all the hauling of the building material (See history of Orange Co. Page 564). Jackson and Greenfield used to to be one township about 1831 or near that time it was divided, west half was named Jackson Township. This school house stood in Southeast corner of the old barn lot owned by George W. Flick. The chimney rocks were piled in the corner of the barn lot for a number of years and farm then belonged to Isaac Eastridge. The house didn’t stand long.
The first school was taught by James Eastridge. He deeded two acres of ground for a cemetery just in Crawford County, known for years as Eastridge Cemetery. His daughter Ruth and a son of Asberry named David Eastridge were the two first buried there, one one day and the other the next day. His first wife and mother are buried at Gilliatt Cemetery. About the year 1910, or near that date, there was a church erected near and named Fairview. I believe it is a General Baptist. The Gilliatt cemetery is down under the hill back of Wesley Chapel Church. It has been abandoned almost 50 years. Uncle Harvey Gilliatt’s the last one to be buried there. Very wet place was why people quit burying there.
