He married Minerva Jane Box on 19 June 1863 in Polk Co; the marriage record mistakenly says her name was Margaret J Box. Minerva was born in MO in September 1846. She was also known by her middle name, and was a daughter of Pleasant M Box and Rebecca Northern. David died between 1878 and 1880, and in 1880 Minerva and her three sons were living in Christian Co MO. In 1900 Minerva was living with her son Weldon in Christian Co.

See the biographies of David’s brother Bailey East [E4c6c3g3] and sister Elizabeth Jane East.[E4c6c3g7]. (L,MF,W,JG, 41n,42qm,97su)

      David C East [E13a1k3], son of Anderson R East and Mary A Goings, was born in 1833 in OH. He was named after grandfather East’s mother. David lived in Delaware Co IN since the mid-1840s, and married Mary J Skinner in Delaware Co on 19 January 1859. She probably died within four years because David married Mary L Burnett in Delaware Co on 14 December 1862. David was a merchant. Mary J was born in OH in 1838. In 1870 they lived at Anderson, Madison Co IN and he was a dry goods merchant there. In 1880, still living at Anderson, he was a farmer. Mary L was born in OH in 1845 (age 21 in 1870). David died by 1910 because Mary L was living alone at Anderson, next door to her son Charles, and also next door to her brother-in-law Thomas S East. Mary L and David had nine children, all living in 1910 and all born in IN-*

      David C East [E11b], son of William East from VA and Drucilla ____ from KY, was born in 1837 in Centre Twp, Wayne Co IN and grew up in DeWitt Co IL. He married Laura W Laborance in DeWitt Co IL on 21 August 1872. They lived at Howard, Bates Co MO in 1880. Laura was born in Sangamon Co IL in September 1854, daughter of Adam Laborance from Germany and Charlotte R Dodge from NY, and was a sister of Charlotte Laborance (born NY in late 1849) who married David’s brother Henry on the same day. David died by 1900 and Laura remained in Bates Co, at West Point until 1900, but in 1902 she remarried, and within the next eight years she moved to Seattle, WA. Her children and her brother-in-law Rush had all moved to the Pacific Northwest also. Laura’s next husband was Edgar W Swan, a house carpenter. He was born in IL in 1842. This was his second marriage also. Laura and Edgar were not found after 1920, so probably both died at Seattle in the 1920s. She and David had five children-*

Adam Laborance, born 1812 in Ireland, lived with his wife Charlotte R Dodge at Bethlehem, Albany Co NY in 1850. Their children then were Rachael, age 3, Charlotte, age ⁹/₁₂, plus older children with a Capron family name from Charlotte’s prior marriage. Adam and Charlotte apparently moved to central IL in the early 1850s with their (then) three Laborance children (son John was born in Albany Co in 1851), where they had daughters Laura and Annie Laborance. Illinois marriage records for the Laborance daughters consistently showed that the mother’s name was Charlotte R Dodge. Adam died by the late 1860s and his widow Charlote then married for a third time, using the name Charlotte R Laborance, to Jacob Willis in Sangamon Co IL on 29 June 1869. And as often happens when a parent marries again and there are prior children involved, the prior children choose to live with elder siblings instead of with the new step-parent; daughter Charlotte Laborance, in 1870, lived with her half-sister Catherine Capron and Catherine’s husband Jacob Parlier. Two years later Charlotte Laborance married Edward H East. Charlotte Dodge’s daughter Annie E Laborance married Charles V Durgy in Sangamon Co IL on 17 February 1875. Son John Laborance married Caroline Lyman Pursell in Sangamon Co on 21 September 1886. No IL marriage record for Rachael, the eldest Laborance child, was found. Of the children from Charlotte Dodge’s first marriage, Catherine Capron married Jacob Parlier in Sangamon Co on 14 Apr 1858.

      About the country of birth of Adam Laborance: The 1850 census of Albany Co NY said he was from Ireland. Children John (born 1851), Laura (born 1854), and Annie (born 1856) in later census records show that their father was born in Germany, and John in 1880 and 1920 said his father was from France. Since Adam died when the children were probably no older than young teens, their memories may not be accurate. Actually, “Adam Laborentz” age 20, arrived New Your Harbor on 16 October 1833 on the ship Albany The port of departure was Harve (Hamburg), but Adam’s birth place was Bavaria, which is now a state in southern Germany (where Munich is). After being in the USA where German pronunciation and spelling is rarely ever correct, the name got corrupted to Laborance.

      Edgar Swan had a son from his first marriage: Fred Burton Swan, born 28 May 1876 in IL and lived at Seattle from at least 1920. He died there 11 February 1942. He was a shoe salesman. (WAd,M, 231R,52k, 167m,685nqm,745su,731vw)

      David Clarkson East [E13a1f], son of James East and Martha Clarkson, was born 12 February 1788 in VA, probably Nelson Co. David married Elizabeth Beard of Rockbridge Co VA. She was born about 1795, daughter of William Beard and Mary Sprout. (M92,L)

      David Franklin East [E14d1f10], son of David East and Nancy Minerva Paul, was born 3 August 1865 in Washington Co IL, and died 15 January 1953. He married Nancy Anna Margaret Boyle on 17 October 1895 in Randolph Co, and afterwards married Elizabeth Wylie. Elizabeth was born in 1854 in IL. Nancy was born in February 1872 in IL of Irish parents. In 1900 they lived at Coulterville, Randolph Co and in 1910 they lived at Tilden, Randolph Co. Then in 1920 and 1930 they were at Clinton, DeKalb Co. Franklin was a street crossing flagman for the railroad in 1930. He and Nancy had five children, the first four born in Randolph Co IL-*

      David Reuben Alexander East [E4c1a6d1g], son of Shadrack Milton East and Jane Catherine Warren, was born in November 1847 in Giles Co TN. David enlisted in the Confederacy at Smithville, AR and was a private in Company E, Nave's Battalion. He had blue eyes, dark hair, and was five feet five inches tall. He first married Amanda H Anderson on 20 October 1867 in Lawrence Co AR, and in 1880 they were living there at Spring River, where he was a woodworker. Amanda was born in TN about 1845, and died 1 May 1884 in Lawrence Co. David married Hester Anne Helms, his second wife, on 25 July 1884. She was born on Christmas day 1866, daughter of Wyatt Helms, and died on her birthday in 1900, at the birth of twins who also died. She and David had 10 children. He married his third wife, Janie Clementine McPike, on 21 July 1902. She was born 1 July 1884 in AR, daughter of Addy Norm McPike and Sarah Elizabeth Baker. Janie died at Dinuba CA on 9 January 1970; she is buried in Walnut Ridge Cemetery at Walnut Ridge, AR. They had 11 children. David died 4 July 1929 at Alicia, AR and is buried one mile east of his home in the countryside. His will is on record in Lawrence Co. After he died, Janie and her younger children lived at Marion, next door to daughter Eva.

      Many of the following birth dates were recorded and passed on to heirs, but years after the births happened. Otherwise, if birth dates were recorded as they happened, such as in a bible record as the event happened, we would have the dates accurate to the day. But many dates must have been done from memory since only the year was written down for most of the older children, and memories sometimes fail. In all, David and his three wives had 32 children-

When the census taker came around in 1900, David wasn’t home, and his wife Hester said she was a widow. (M92,Z, BP,JA,RR,59spwf,90u,33N)

      David Smith East [E4c6c3h1], son of Given East and Elizabeth Edwards, was born in 1823 in Lincoln Co KY and grew up in Ripley Co IN. He married Mary Collicott Griffith in Ripley Co on 25 February 1847. She apparently was married before because there were two older children in their home in 1850 (using the East name). Mary was born in IN in 1822, daughter of Wesley Griffith. In 1850 David lived next door to his widowed mother and younger siblings. He and Mary had a son-*

a.    George Alexander East, b Dec 1849 (507n)

Mary’s children from her first marriage were Emily Griffith, born 1838, and William Anderson Griffith, b 1841. (W,507kn)

      David William East [E4c1a6d1d7], son of Thomas Benton East and Mary Shields, was born on 23 November 1882 at Marshfield, Webster Co MO. He was named as a son in his father's 1897 pension application. In September 1918 he was a farmer in Kaufman Co TX and had married Ada Mae Clair in 1904. Ada was born in MO in 1882. David died 1 February 1953 at Springfield, MO of heart failure, and was a widower for the second time when he died. David was buried at Modesto, CA. The informant for his death certificate was Walter H East of Springfield; Walter did not know the name of his mother, yet she was alive when Walter was age 9. In 1910 he and his family lived in Haskell Co TX, and in 1920 David, Ada, and their four children lied in Kaufman Co TX. Apparently each time Ada was to give birth, they mad a quick trip back to MO for the birth. In the 1940s David worked at French Camp, San Joaquin Co CA but lived at Salida, Stanislaus Co. Their children were all born in MO-*

a.    Virgil Thomas East, b 17 Aug 1905, grew up in TX, lived at Modesto, CA in the 1940s, and died at Pittsburg, Contra Costa, CA on 7 March 1982. (M,CAd,326v,337w)

      Deborah A East [E4c6c5d5], daughter of Joseph East and Nancy Russell, was born in December 1826 in KY. She married George W Latimer on 3 March 1843. George was a carpenter and they lived in Boyle Co KY (two counties north of Adair Co). He was born in 1821 in KY, son of Samuel Latimer and Mary Daugherty. From the birth places of their children, it appears that George and Deborah moved to Palestine, Anderson Co TX in 1850 after the census was taken in KY. George was a mechanic at Palestine in 1860. He served in Company K, 15th Texas Cavalry during the Civil War on the Confederate side, but the scant military records for him do not indicate that he died during nthe war. Deborah was a widow in 1880 and was living with her two youngest sons at Palestine, Anderson Co TX.; in 1900 she lived with her daughter Mary at Houston (and was called a “daughter-in-law” to her 66 year old son-in-law). George must have died at Palestine, Anderson Co TX soon after 1860; in 1870 she was woreking as a seamstress at in Anderson Co, and was by then without a husband. The Houston City Directory of the mid-1890s showed “Debora A Latimer, widow of George W” and she was living with Joseph W Davis. Joseph W Davis, born in KY in 1842, lived next door to Deborah’s daughter Mary at Houston in 1900. George and Deborah had four children by 1850, then seven by 1860-*

a.    Mary C Latimer, b Jul 1845. She married William L Davis in 1870 and they lived at Houston, TX. William was born in (Lafayette Co?) MO in February 1834 (or in TX per 1880 census). Their two sons were born at Houston-*

      1.    William T Davis, b May 1877 (241su)

      2.    Philip Eugene Davis, b 4 May 1880, was an auto painter at Houston in September 1918. His wife was probably Mary Lou _____. (M,241su) (504n,241su)

      Dicie East [E19a1], daughter of Stephen East and Desa, was born in 1802 in Spartanburg Co SC and grew up there and in Jackson Co GA. She married James Loggins Jr in 1825 at Pickersville, SC. James was born about 1799 and grew up in South Carolina, a son of Samuel Loggins who also moved to GA when James and Dicie did. James also used the name John and James Logans in order to avoid the federal troops who were always gathering up stray Cherokee who hadn’t already been captured and forced to OK. James served in the South Carolina militia during the War of 1812. (This war took place during the years 1812 thru 1814.) In his application for a veteran's pension he described a march from SC to Mobile, AL where he said he was discharged. When gold was discovered in GA in 1828, people from all parts of the US began migrating to the Georgia Blue Ridge in what was the first US gold rush (these prospectors were known as 29ers, the first use of a term that would later be applied to the 49ers of California). This is about the time that many of the South Carolina Loggins families moved into GA. James and Dicie were among them. They settled in what was then Habersham Co (later White Co).

      When the Cherokee were being removed, Dicie’s father and two of his sons, Pinckney and Zealous, moved to Alabama with a band of Indians led by a chief named "King" Solomon Ray. When a Cherokee married, the man would become part of the band to which his wife belonged. Dicie never heard from her father again after his eviction from Hall Co, and his move to Troup Co in western GA. Dicie was never enrolled as an Indian; her husband refused to allow her to admit that she was Indian, and in 1851 this caused a permanent rift between them. He felt that having her name on a government roll would mean being forcibly taken away like the group that were moved west. Later, when benefits were made available to the Eastern Cherokee, it was impossible for her descendents to prove connection to the tribe. Her grandson, John Loggins, diligently tried to provide proof of his Indian ancestry. His Cherokee claim file is filled with sworn testimonies from people who had personally known Dicie and knew of her Cherokee parents. One such affidavit states that Dicie wanted to get on the rolls but her husband, James, would not allow it. He said he was in enough trouble with his family for marrying an Indian and he didn’t want to cause more. The testimony goes on to state “and there was no more peace between them.”

      They lived in Hall Co GA two doors from Dicie’s father in 1830 and next to James’ father, and in 1840 were still in Hall Co. In 1840 their close neighbors were three other Loggins families, the John Miller family, and the Tailor Armour (written as “Talor Armer”) family. After many of Dicie’s siblings moved to Troup Co GA and to eastern AL, she and James settled on a ridge above the Chestatee River south of Three Sisters Mountain in Lumkin Co. They lived in Habersham Co in 1850 and in White Co GA in 1860; these are the three counties north of Hall Co GA. (White Co was formed in 1857 from the western half of Habersham Co.) James was born in SC in 1799, and was age 20 to 29 in 1830, age 30 to 39 in 1840, age 44 in 1850, age 60 in 1860, age 80 in 1870, age 81 in 1880. His elder daughters also weren’t very consistent when they gave their ages to the census takers. Hence, we can only estimate the birth dates of many of the children. In the 1830 census the children were one boy and one girl, both under the age of 5; in 1840 the children were the boy, now age 10 to 14, a daughter age 10 to 14, with two new daughters age 5 to 9, and the two youngest daughters under age 5. That made six children. By the time the 1850 census was taken, only the daughters remained at home, and son William lived nearby with his wife. In 1860 two daughters remained at home, while the other four children had married and lived on their own. It appears that the ages of daughters shown in the 1850 census gives us the most information, but the 1860 census actually gives us their more (accurate) names: S (Sarah) was age 20; R (Rebecca) was age 18, E (Elizabeth) was age 16, N (Nancy) was age 14, and E (Eliza) was age 12. At home in 1860 were Sarah and Rebecca, which gives us the names found for the two initials S & R in the 1850 census; Sarah was now age 25, and Rebecca was age 24. Nancy was age 21 living with her husband in 1860; in 1870 her age was 24, ten years under the truth, and she lived next door to her parents in White Co. Her sisters Sarah, age 35, Rebecca, age 33, and Elizabeth, age 31 were again living with their parents. Dicie died in Walton Co GA on 22 November 1905. They had at least five children, all born in GA-*

a.    girl Loggins, born about 1826, died in the 1830s in Hall Co GA. This girl is not Sarah nor Rebecca since those two sisters consistantly gave their ages over the census years to show both were born in the 1830s. This was an elder daughter born in the late 1820s, according to the 1830 census. Since Dicie and James didn’t marry until 1825, and son William was born in 1828, it would be likely that a child would have been born before William. Hence, this girl must have been born in the late 1820s, and died in the 1830s. (JY,250jk)

      Don San Francisco East [E4c1a6d11], son of Thomas East and Nancy Ann _____, was born in 1843 in Giles Co TN. He moved to Webster Co MO in the 1850s with his mother and his eldest brother Shadrack. While most of the other children of Thomas East finally settled in Lawrence Co AR, Don remained in Webster Co MO, living next door to his brother Shadrack with his niece Martha C East [E4c1a6d1e] and her husband Pleasant Williams. In Webster Co, Don married his next door neighbor Matilda Lilly Amack on 4 August 1861 in Webster Co. She was born in NC in 1839, daughter of Eli A Amack and Mary _____, but grew up in Coffee Co TN and in MO. Don was in Texas Co MO in 1870, and back in Webster Co in 1880. He never used his second name. By 1880 he and Lilly had at least four children-

      Dossie L East [E1d1a5b], son of John G East and Ida L Franklin, was born 16 July 1895 at Toccopola, MS. He married Elizabeth Myrtle Perkins on 26 December 1918, probably at Lafayette Springs since they lived there in 1920. She was born 19 August 1896 in MS. In 1930 they lived in Pontotoc Co next door to Dossie’s mother. Dossie died 1 December 1974 at Toccopola and was buried in Lafayette Co MS. Myrtle died 6 May 1995 at Oxford, Lafayette Co. They had two children-

      Doyle Derwood East [E19a2a5c6], son of Thomas Moody East and Ruby Belle Brisance, was born 1 November 1918 in Limestone Co TX, and died at Dallas, TX on 20 April 1984. He married Doris Powell and they had at least one child. When he was age 60 he married Betty G Newberry in Dallas Co on 22 December 1978. She was born in 1927. (CS,Z, TXdm,255wf)

      Drucilla Emma East [E4c1a6d1m], daughter of Shadrack Milton East and Jane Catherine Warren, was born in 1858 in Webster Co MO. By 12 September 1876 she had not married since she was called Emma East in her father's estate records then. (M92,BP,JA, 59r)

      Drury East [E4c3a3d], son of Isham East and Mary Eades, was born 30 March 1789, died in Grayson Co VA on 18 March 1820. He was not found on any 1820 census and probably had no children. He lived in Grayson Co as an adult. Drury wrote his will on 8 March 1820, so he probably knew he was going to die soon. His grandmother Fanny East and brother William East were two of the executors of Drury’s estate in April 1820. His estate was finally settled on 15 February 1826 at the home of Eli Cock. At that time William East and Thomas Baldwin were the acting executors. In Drury’s will, he named George W Hill, his sister “Elizabeth East,” and “Lusinda Eads.” Drury also declared his “brother” William East and his “sister” Elizabeth East as Executors.

      There was a Drury East who supplied liquor for the estate sale of William Moore in Patrick Co VA, and was paid for the liquor on 15 December 1825; the actual estate sale was on 28 June 1819. William East was also at that sale. In the November 1821 court in Patrick Co, still concerning the William Moore estate, the accounting shows that the estate received “Rent of place where Drury East lived that was called McCCraw’s place to Drury East.” This short sentence implied that Drury East no longer lived there (or no longer lived). (W,1043p,30p)

      Drury East [E4c3a3a3], son of John East and Mary Johnson, was born in Patrick Co VA in 1815 (age 30 in 1850, 45 in 1860, 53 in 1870). Drury was probably a brother of Elizabeth East, born 1812, who married George Martin Nelson and of Isom East, born 1817. All three of these East people were born in VA, lived for a while in NC, moved to Wythe Co in the 1840s, and lived there into the 1850s or later. Drury had married Nancy _____ in 1842. Nancy was born in NC in 1824, and since their eldest child was born in NC, they probably married in NC. They stayed in NC until about 1844, then moved to Wythe Co. Their son John attended the same school where children of his sister Elizabeth East attended, and they were all in the same classroom in 1851. Because the name Drury is relatively rare, and it appears that only descendants of Isham East [E4c3a3] and wife Mary Eads had sons with the Drury East name, then this Drury of Wythe Co would probably be one of Isham’s descendants.

      In 1860 Drury East (spelled Drewey East) and his family were living at Madison, Morgan Co IN. They had probably moved there in the early 1850s since the school records of son John were no longer found in Wythe Co after 1851. Drury died in the 1870s, probably in Morgan Co, and in 1880 Nancy was living at Indianapolis and was taking in laundry to make a living. She and Drury had at least five children-*

a.    John H East, b 1843 in NC, spent his childhood years in Wythe Co VA, then moved to Madison, IN when he was about 10 years old, and grew up there. In 1880 John lived with his widowed mother at Indianapolis and he worked as a carpenter. He was shown as being married then, not a widower, yet his wife was not found. John had a daughter who lived with him and his mother in 1880-*

b.   Mary East, b 1845 in Wythe Co VA, probably married in Morgan Co IN in the 1860s. (1085n,377q)

c.    James East, b 1849 in Wythe Co VA, died in the 1850s. (1085n)

d.   William Washard East, b 1858 at Madison, Morgan Co IN. He married Mary M Vanblaricum on 26 November 1879 in Marion Co and they lived at Indianapolis. She was age 16 when married, so born about 1863 in IN (she claimed she was age 22 in 1880). (377qr,383ms)

e.    Abner Bransom East, b 1862 at Madison, Morgan Co IN. (377r,383s)

Interesting note: When the list of children in school teacher Robert B Saferight’s classroom was made in November 1851, they were not shown alphabetically, and hence Elizabeth East’s and George Martin Nelson’s two children were listed just before Drury’s son John East, as if they were all from the same large family. In March 1854 Elizabeth’s son Thomas East was shown in the class list, but John East, Drewry’s son was not. In any case, since they were all in the same classroom in 1851, they probably all lived in the same neighborhood. (M,M59,1085n,377q)

      Druzella B East [E4c6c5k7b], daughter of James East and Rhoda G Searcy, was born in 1875 in Ohio Twp, Crawford Co IN. She was probably named after her aunt Druscilla Royal, wife of Benjamin East [E4c6c5k9]. Druzella B married Samuel Joseph Cox on 29 September 1895 in Crawford Co, and died in 1899 in Crawford Co. She was buried in East Cemetery at Cape Sandy. Her two children were living with her parents then, and Sam also lived with Druzella’s parents James and Rhoda in 1900. He was born 28 November 1875 in IN, son of John H Cox (born in Switzerland) and Cynthia A {Batman}. Sam died 26 October 1944 in Crawford Co. Drucilla’s two children were-*

1.   Flossie N Cox, b 13 Oct 1896, married James Berton Parr about 1915. In June 1917 they lived at Alton, Crawford Co. In 1920 they lived in Meade Co KY just south across the Ohio River from Crawford Co in early 1920. Bert was born at Alton, Crawford Co IN on 24 April 1889. Apparently life in KY was not to their liking; they were living back in Crawford Co within a short time, just five doors from Joseph W East [E4c6c5m1d]. Bert died at Leavenworth, Crawford Co in September 1979; Flossie died 28 September 1990. They are both buried in East Cemetery at Cape Sandy, Crawford Co. They had six children by 1930, all born in Crawford Co IN-*

2.   Albert Desoto Cox, b 19 Feb 1899. Albert lived with his East grandparents from 1900 to 1920; in September 1918 he was a factory worker at the Alton Canning Factory. Albert died 22 August 1986 at Leavenworth, Crawford Co and was buried in East Cemetery at Cape Sandy. In 1930 he was still living in the Ohio area and gave his profession as a river fisherman; he was then boarding with Frank East and Frank’s wife Ethel. Albert was not married then. He later married Ethel Gast. (There is a grave in East Cemetery at Cape Sandy for an Ethel M Cox, born 1915, died 1963.) Albert and his wife had a daughter-*

      a.    Barbara Cox (W)

Of all the East people living in this area of IN, only descendants of James East and Rhoda G Searcy have used Desoto as a middle name. (W,M,625uwfc)

After Druzella died, Samuel J Cox married Pearl Goodman on 23 May 1903 and they had a daughter, Gladys Cox, born in 1904. Pearl died and he married Elizabeth Bryant on 26 May 1912 and they had a daughter, Flora Belle Cox, born in 1915. Then Elizabeth died on 3 February 1927 and he married Alta East [E4c6c5k6e1] on 21 September 1931. Three of Sam’s siblings married three East people. See the Hiram {Batman} file. (W,625sc)

      Edgar East [E4c3a6m2], son of Isom L East and Asenath Harris, was born in September 1857 in Pawnee Co, Nebraska Territory, but grew up in Cass Co MI. He was a carpenter by 1880. In 1883 he married Anna Haller and they lived at Dowagiac. She was born in September 1865 at Volinia, Cass Co MI, daughter of Nicholas Haller from Germany and Catherine _____ from OH. See Edgar’s sister Mary East’s biography. After her children were older, Anna was a grade school teacher, but in later years was a practical nurse. Edgar had died by 1930; Anna was then a widow, living with her brother Jacob and his new wife Ida at Dowagiac. She and Edgar had two children, both born in Cass Co, probably at Dowagiac-

      Edgar Luthor East [E4c3a3b12g8], son of Joseph Goldman East and Amanda Susan Meador, was born in 27 June 1907 in Macon Co TN. He died in January 1991. (Z,4vwf)

      Edgar Pinkney East [E4c3b3f6e], son of Thomas Jefferson East and Susie Ella Van Slyke, was born 15 September 1875 at Lyons, Greene Co IN. He married Mary Scott Hubbard and in September 1918 he was the secretary and treasurer of Equitable Investment Company in New York City. In 1920 he was the Vice President of the loan department. (They lived at 535 West 113th St, Apt 52.) Mary was born at Doylestown, Bucks Co PA in June 1872, youngest of five children of Nathaniel B Hubbard and Mary Soctt. In 1920 Mary’s mother lived with them. In 1900 Edgar was a boarder in his future mother-in-law’s home at Philadelphia, PA, and living in the same home was Edgar’s future wife Mary, who was at that time a widow (Mrs Mary Atkinson). Edgar East was then a clerk. It does not appear that Mary and Edgar had children; she had none from her first marriage. It appears that she had died by 1925 since Edgar took an ocean cruise alone on the ship Fort St George to Bermuda. He arrived back at the port of New York on 13 August 1925. On the ship’s register he gave his home address as a hotel at Richmond, VA. (M,376s, 1126qrs, 785u,231Rw)

      Edine H East [E4c1a2i7a], daughter of Edward Hazzard East and Ida Tennie Horton, was born in August 1870 at Nashville, Davidson Co TN. She had not yet married by 1900 and was living with her parents then. (8su)

      Edith East [E4c6d], daughter of Joseph East and Mary _____ of Louisa Co VA, was born by 1768 when her father write his will, but she apparently had no adult children at the time. This indicates that she was born no sooner than around 1730. Actually, she was born about 1742 in Louisa Co and married Thomas Peers on 22 November 1759 in Goochland Co. She received her father’s Negro man Harry in his 1758 will. As part of the will, Joseph said that if Edith dies with children under age, then Thomas Peers shall become owner of Harry until the children become of age. She and Thomas Peers had nine children, all probably born in Louisa Co-*

      Edith East [E13b], possibly a sister of Thomas East of Goochland Co VA, married Thomas Pierce in Goochland Co on 22 November 1760. The only evidence that Edith may be Thomas' sister is that they were married within nine years of each other in the same county, thus indicating that they were of about the same age and the same family. (JY, M94)

      Edith "Edee" East married John Hales in Henry Co VA on 4 March 1783. (M94)

      Edman East [E14d9], son of James East Jr and Mary Edwards, was born about 1810. He was remembered as Edman East two generations later. No information on Edman / Edmond / Edmund East who could be Edman was found. His birth date is only estimated from the order he was listed in written family records, even though no birth date was written down. (ST,JE)

       Edmund Wallace East [E1b13], son of Thomas East and Sarah Graves, was known as Edward Wallace East. See his biography. (JY)

      Edna East [E7d2f], daughter of James East and Hannah Lofton, was born 23 December 1840 in Franklin Co MS. She married her first cousin Miles Cannon [E7d5c], son of Rhoda East and William Augustus Cannon. Her line is continued under his name.

      Edna East [E4c6c3a5c1], daughter of James Perry East and Mary J _____, was born in August 1880 in Barton Co MO. She was a school teacher in 1900 at Appleton, and had married Jacob Kedigh about 1908. Edna was the informant for her father’s death certificate, and for her father-in-law. Jacob and Edna lived at Spruce in Bates Co where he was a merchant and a banker, but a farmer in the 1930s. He was born at White Oak, Henry Co MO in May 1875, son of Michael Kideisch and Christiana _____ from Germany. Edna and Jake had three chuiildrn, two by 1920, and all born at Spruce, Bates Co MO-*

He was born in Wurttemberg, Germany on 11 December 1840 and died at White Oak, Henry Co on 13 July 1925. Michael was buried in Hickory Grove Cemetery. He was age 10 at Dover, OH living with his widowed mother Elizabeth and his younger siblings. He enlisted in OH on 8 November 1861, at age 20, as a Private in the Union Army. Michael served in Company E, 80th Infantry Regiment, and was mustered out at Little Rock, AR on 13 August 1865. He had a Distinguished Service record for his tour of duty.. (231R,M,166u, 44ud,745vw)

      Edom East [E4c3a6c1], son of Joel East and Sarah Bulla, was born 17 June 1826 in Wayne Co IN. He married Zilla Reams on 5 March 1849 in Cass Co MI. In 1850 they were living a few doors from his parents, but between the Jefferson Osborn and Jonah Osborn families. Zilla was born in Michigan in 1831 (age 19 in 1850; 26 in 1860). In 1860 they lived close to his brother James W East, and his sister Susannah East and her husband Jefferson Osborn, at Calvin, Cass Co. Edom was a carpenter. Zilla died in 1865; Edom’s wife in 1870 was Mrs Sarah J _____ Swinehart, born in MI in February 1836. Edom died 12 October 1897, and Sarah died in 1906. All three were buried in Birch Lake Cemetery at Calvin. After Edom died, Sarah lived with her youngest daughter at Concord, IN. Edom and Zilla had two daughters by 1860, and four children by 1863; with Sarah he had two more daughters-

c.    Eugene L East, b 1861

d.   Edwin Byron East, b 1863

Mrs Swinehart had at least three children with her first husband Lewis Swinehart before she married Edom: Alice H Swinehart, born 1859 at Porter; and Edwin L Swinehart, born 1861, and a third child. Both known Swinehart children were born in Cass Co MI. Lewis Swinehart was born in OH in 1834, and died about 1863. (M92,W,52j,72knmqrs)

      Edris R East [E4c6c5j9h], daughter of John E East and Rose Linda Hathaway, was born in April 1892 (age 27 in 1920, 37 in 1930) at Missoula, MT. She died in MT in 1937. Edris had married Agustus Stavis Stevenson on 18 September 1911 at Victor, Ravalli Co MT. Gus was born 18 April 1884 in MO; his father was from Scotland. In September 1918 they lived at Seattle, WA where he was an engineer. In 1920 he managed a cigar store, but was dead by 1930. In 1930 Edris and her two youngest children lived in the Des Moines community near Seattle. They had three children-*

1.   Erora Stevenson, b 1912 in MT, probably married by 1930. (731w)

2.   Daisy F Stevenson, b 1914 at Seattle, WA. (731wf)

3.   George N Stevenson, b Oct 1919 at Seattle, WA. In 1930 he lived at Des Moines, King Co WA with his mother. (731wf) (W,M,94u,539v, 731wf)

      Edward East Sr [E4c], son of Thomas East Sr of Henrico Co VA and Dorothy Thomas, was born perhaps around 1675; he rented 150 acres in Henrico Co in 1705 from her Majesty the Queen of England. Edward was a witness in Henrico Co to the will of John Woodson on 25 November 1715.

      Edward left a will in Henrico Co dated 8 August 1734; the will went to probate on 2 February 1735, thus indicating that he died a few days before then. In the will he named six children. Witnesses to the will were William Porter Jr, John Porter, and Anne Porter. Edward could not sign his name and made an X. His wife was named the executrix, but was not named. In the will he gave: to son William, 1 shilling; to son Edward, “part of my land living on t\he north side of the run I live on;” to son Isham “the other part of my land, and negro after his mother’s death. the first child of above negro to my daughter Mary;” to my two sons Tarlton and Joseph, the “rest of the estate after the death of their mother.” Witnesses to the will were William Porter Jr, John Porter, and Ann Porter. The value of Edward's estate was £23/3/6.

      There is a court record in Henrico Co of 3 March 1755 stating “we have assigned Elizabeth East, widow and relic of Edward East, dec’d, her full third of his lands.” There were three Edward East men who could have had a wife living in 1755. But since Edward East dec’d had a wife alive 20 years after he died, then this widow Elizabeth East may have been quite a bit younger. She was not a widow of Edward East [E3a] since we know that his wife was Mary Hobson. And she could not have been a widow in 1736 of Edward Jr since he was living in March 1740 and was a member of Henrico Co Parish (William East was also mentioned at this time in the parish records). So widow Elizabeth East mentioned must have been the widow of Edward East Sr. The Henrico Parish Vestry Book records show that a disputed land boundary between Elizabeth East and Francis Gath was settled on 3 May 1736; Edward East Sr had died between his will date of on 8 August 1734 and when it went to probate on 2 February 1735. Hence, widow Elizabeth was the land owner by this date, otherwise the land would be described as Edward’s land.

      Edward’s wife was Elizabeth Woodson, daughter of Robert Woodson and Elizabeth Ferris, and was born about 1680. Since Elizabeth and her two eldest sons were members of the Henrico Co Parish, it is likely that most children were also members while they lived in Henrico Co. Her and Edward Sr’s children were-

1.   Edward East Jr, b 1690s-1710s

2.   William East, b 1690s-1710s

3.   Isham East, b 1690s-1710s

4    Mary East, b 1690s-1710s

5.   Tarleton East, b 1690s-1710s

6.   Joseph East, b 1690s-1710s

Other people named in the Henrico Co Parish record books were the neighbors often named in deed records of Edward Sr and Thomas East Sr & Jr. (W,M85,M13,EP,M47,29p)

      Edward East Jr [E4c1], son of Edward East Sr of Henrico Co VA, was born in the 1690s-1710s in Henrico Co. He owned land near the western run of Turkey Island Creek, land also next to Beverly Randolph and Robert Maddox, on 5 August 1744. Edward was named as an officiating member of Henrico Co Parish on 29 March 1740. Whether he had children is unknown, but there was a younger Edward East in Henrico Co who was born about 1721, so this younger Edward must have been a son of one of the eldest two sons of Edward East Sr and his wife Elizabeth Woodson. (EP,M15, M47,29py)

      Edward East [E4c1a], probably a son of Edward East Jr of Henrico Co VA, was born about 1721 in Henrico Co. He married Mary Hobson by 1745. She was born about 1725. Edward left a will in Henrico Co dated 9 September 1753 and recorded (after Edward died) on 4 March 1754. In the will he left 50 acres to his son Jesse, and left 50 acres next to Jesse’s inheritance. This land was next to land belonging to Jane Porter. He also named his wife Mary; her two brothers William and Benjamin Hobson were the executors. Witnesses to the will were Jane Porter, Charles Woodson, Robert Maddox, Thomas Jolly, and Sarah Warrener. The value of Edward’s estate was £38/1/0. Edward and Mary had at least two sons. Since he died at an early age, he probably had few children. The two known children are-

1.   Jesse East, b abt 1746

2.   Benjamin East, b abt 1748 (L,29p)

      Edward East [E4c3b1f4], son of Asa East and Charity _____, was born in 1836 in IL, but grew up in Lincoln Co MO. He married Phebe Lee Neal in Calhoun Co IL on 18 August 1856 when she was age 15. She also was born in IL, in 1841. (Calhoun Co is the county east of Lincoln Co.) In 1850 the only 9 year old Neal girl in either Lincoln Co and in Calhoun Co was Emily Neil in the Alexis & Rebecca Palmer home (ages 59 and 49, and born in KY and MO). Edward and Phebe had two children by 1860, both born in Lincoln Co-

b.   Joseph M East, b Sep 1859 (46q) (46nq)

      Edward Allen East [E19a2a5i], son of Thomas Elias East and Nancy Jane Childress, was born 24 October 1899 at Coolidge, Limestone Co TX. In September 1918 he lived at Coolidge, and was a student. He appears to be the Edward East living in Hidalgo Co TX in 1930, and married to Florence _____ about 1927. This Edward East was an oil lease salesmen. His wife Florence was born in MS in 1900, and they had no children by early 1930. (M,M92,AN,255uv,349f)

      Edward E East [E11b2], son of David C East and Laura W Laborance, was born in February 1877 in Bates Co MO. In 1900 he was living at Howard, Bates Co away from his mother’s home, but had not married. He was not found after then. (745su)

      Edward H East [E23a4e], son of John William East and Clementine Virginia Underwood, was born 25 February 1893 at Glen Alice, Roan Co TN. In June 1917 he worked at Chattanooga, TN for Southern RR as a carpenter in the Bridge & Building Department, and had a child. He was single then, and lived at Glen Alice (4 miles southwest of Rockwood). His brother Alonzo also worked for the B&B Department. In 1930 Edward lived at Chattanooga, but worked in a candy factory. He was then married to Thelma _____. She was born in 1905 in TN, and was first married in 1923. Edward’s first marriage was in 1917, so it appears that since he was single in June 1917, his first wife must have died at the birth of the child that Edward claimed he had to support in June 1917. His children were all born in TN-*

1.   Edward East, b 1917. He said he was age 11 in 1930; if this was correct, then he may have had an older brother who probably died before 1920. (221f)

2.   Delmont East, b 1923 (221f)

3.   Raymond East, b 1925 (221f) (M,19uv,221f)

      Edward Hazzard East [E4c1a2i7], son of Edward Hyde East and Cecelia Buchanan, was born 1 October 1831 in Davidson Co TN. He was graduated from Lebanon Law School in 1854 and practiced in Nashville from 1855. He was a TN politician and judge much of his life, and was a trustee of the University of Nashville and of Vanderbilt University. In 1892 he was the Prohibition candidate for governor of TN, but lost the election, receiving about two percent of the vote. In 1867 (married 32 years in 1900) he married Ida Tennie Horton of MS, widow of Gustavis Ward, a Confederate Soldier, and daughter of Henry C Horton. Ida was born in TN in March 1842. Edward died 12 November 1904. He and Ida had two daughters, both born at Nashville-

a.    Edine H East, b Aug 1870

b.   Elizabeth C East, b Sep 1872

Ida had three children with her first husband: Gustavis Ward, born in 1857 in MS; Tina Ward, born in 1859 in TN; and Eila Ward, born in 1863 in MS. (M77,M92, EE,NL,W,8rsu)

      Edward Hudson East [E11f], son of William East from VA and Drucilla ____ from KY, was born in October 1845 at Clinton, DeWitt Co IL. He was called Edwin in the 1870 census. He and three siblings had their own home separate from their parents in 1870. They were family #129 at Wapella, DeWitt Co. Their parents were family # 190 and #262 (they were shown in the census twice). Edward H East married Charlotte D Laborance in DeWitt Co on 21 August 1872. This must have been a double wedding since Edward’s brother David also married on this date, to Charlotte’s sister Laura W Laborance. Charlotte was born at Bethlehem, Albany Co NY in December 1849, daughter of Adam Laborance and Charlotte R Dodge. Henry’s wife Charlotte died 2 January 1874 in Bates Co MO (from childbirth?). See the note following David C East’s biography.

      About 1880 Edward married Hattie Baxter from Trenton, MO and they lived at Victoria, Victoria Co TX, near the central Gulf Coast; Edward raised livestock in TX. Hattie was born in December 1859 in MO. In 1910 they were in Nueces Co, and in Kleberg Co in 1920. (These three counties are near the coast and each county is one or two counties southwest of the prior one.) In 1920 Edward was a retired cattleman living at Dutada with his youngest two children, grandchildren, and ranch workers. Hattie had died within the prior decade. They had nine children by 1900, with six still living; the 1910 census showed just seven children with all alive. All children were born in TX-*

1.   Arthur Lee East, b 28 Aug 1882, lived in Willacy Co in September 1918 and was a stockman. He was then married to Sarah J _____. She was born in TX in 1889. They had no children by 1920.

Eleanor married William Brown in Lincoln Co KY on 11 September 1794. Her father gave his permission, thus indicating that she was born after 1773. (M92,W, M52)

      Eleanor East [E4c6c5e], daughter of James East and Lucy English, was born in 1795 in Garrard Co KY. She died in IN in 1829. Eleanor married Conrad Storms in Garrard Co on 14 March 1814. He was born 2 February 1795 in Carter Co TN, son of Conrad Storm and Nancy Hall. The only Conrad Storm family in the 1820 census was in Ripley Co IN, about six counties northwest of Garrard Co. In his home in 1820 there were three men of Conrad’s age, one woman of Eleanor’s age if she was born in late 1794 or earlier, three children under the age of 10, one male born before 1776 (Conrad Sr?), and a teenage boy age 16 or 17 (hired help?). Eleanor died in 1829 in IN and Conrad married again, to Lavinia Hopper. In 1830 he lived in Jefferson Co, the county next to Ripley Co, and there was a woman in his home who was born in the 1800s. In 1840, none of Eleanor’s children lived with their father and his new wife, nor were they living with the eldest son James. In 1860 Conrad and Lavina lived next door to his daughter Josephine at Shelby, Jefferson Co. Conrad died 4 October 1870 at Shelby, Jefferson Co IN. He and Eleanor had at least seven children-

      Eleanor East [E4c6c3a3], daughter of Josiah East and Sarah Ann Storms, was born in 1814 in Garrard Co KY. She married Lowery McCulley (or McCullough?) in Garrard Co on 2 October 1833. He was born in KY in 1810. They had at least two children, then probably died soon before 1850. In 1860 their two children were living with Eleanor’s mother (with their names spelled as McCulley), and Eleanor and Lowery were not found. The 1830 census shows a Joseph McCully with two sons of age to be Lowery, and in 1840 in Garrard Co, the only McCully home was Joseph’s wife, living alone. Joseph’s sons were not there. Elizabeth and Lowery’s two known children were both born in KY-

      Elias Caruth East [E14a1d8], son of Joseph E East and Frances Nations, was born in December 1855 in Hempstead Co AR. He married Julia F Scott in Nevada Co on 23 April 1874. She was born in AR in 1854. In 1880 they were living in Nevada Co close to his brother Edmund, and had three children. In 1900 Elias C East and his second wife Queen E _____ (Vaughan?) were living at Texarkana in Miller Co AR. This was also Queen’s second marriage. Elias operated the Texarkana East Funeral Home and Queen was a seamstress. She was born in AR in December 1872 (age 27 in 1900, 40 in 1910, 42 in 1920). Elias died in the 1900s, probably in the early 1900s since he and Queen had just one child before he died. In 1910 “Mrs E C East” was living in Texarkana with her her son, and was an Undertaking Proprietress. (Bowie Co TX census, family 21, second page of Texarkana; their business was within two city blocks of the AR-TX state line, which runs north-south thru town, so her home was always within a short walk, but sometimes switched states.) It also appears that after Elias died, Queen turned their funeral parlor into a dual undertaking parlor - rooming house combination. In 1910 there were nine boarders, including Queen’s widowed sister Mrs Frank Stinnett, who lived with them in 1900. Queen was still alive in September 1918 when her son Jack, on his draft card, named his mother “Mrs E C East” as his nearest living relative. At that time they lived on Vine Street in Texarkana, AR, but in 1910 their boarding house was on Olive St in Texarkana, Bowie Co TX. In 1920 Queen was still living at Texarkana, in TX; she ran a casket making business then. In 1930 at Texarkana, now back in Miller Co AR, she was till in the funeral home business. Elias and Queen had one son, making four children in all for Elias, all born in AR-*

In 1900 thru 1930 Queen’s widowed sister Mrs Frankie Stinnett (or Mrs Frank Stinnett?) lived with Queen There was a 13 November 1892 marriage in Lawrence Co AR between a Frances Vaughan and Mr J F Stinnett. In half the census records, Queen used the name Queen East, or used “Mrs E C East” as her name. (M92,BM,74q,62s,59m,91uf,102vw)

      Elias E East [E19a2d], son of Zealous Ray East and Mahuldah Armour, was born 14 August 1840 in Randolph Co AL. In 1870 Elias and his wife are found in Randolph Co (Louisa PO, census Page No. 47, family number 345). Elias was a member Company 1, 13th Alabama Regiment, CSA. He married F A Cornette Pool about 1867. She was born in AL on 15 August 1842 (gravestone says 1849; she was age 8 in 1850, age 18 in 1860, age 29 in 1870, age 39 in 1880), daughter of Robert C Pool and Margaret _____. In 1880 they lived near Roanoke in Randolph Co, a few doors from his widowed mother and brother Cicero and sister Samantha, and they had four children, all born in Randolph Co. Elias and Cornette moved to TX after 1880 and she died there on 22 May 1898. She was buried in Armour Cemetery West in Limestone Co. Later that year Elias married Nancy A _____, who was born in April 1842 (per gravestone; born April 1846 per 1900 census; born 1843 per 1910 & 1920 census) in TX, and died in TX in 1920; Nancy and Elias were also buried in Armour Cemetery West in Limestone Co, but his gravestone has no dates. He died 11 December 1923 at Coolidge, Limestone Co on pneumonia. Nancy and Elias were living at Amour, Limestone Co TX in 1900, near his children and grandchildren. The children moved to Limestone Co by the mid-1880s since Elias’ grandchildren were born there starting in 1886; when Elias and Cornette moved is unknown, but it was likely about the same time as his children.

      Since Nancy was age 52 when she married Elias, she had no children. Elias and Cornette’s children were-

1.   Beulah East, b 30 Oct 1867

2.   Robert Warren Nicholson East, b 7 Apr 1870

3.   Zemily H E East, b Mar 1873

      Elijah East of KY was in the War of 1812. Military records show that he entered the service as a Private on 15 August 1812 and was discharged as a Private on 14 October 1812. Those dates put his approximate birth date at around 1790. Elijah was assigned to Captain James C Price’s Company, Lewis’ Regiment, Kentucky Volunteers. In 1870 and 1880 there was an Elijah East living at Oxford, Butler Co OH. He was born in KY about 1790 of VA parents. His wife (then) was 39 year old Jane _____ from SC. This whole family was shown to be Mulatto. Elijah’s first wife was Ellen, but they did not appear to have had children. Elijah lived in Butler Co OH from 1840, but in 1830 an Elijah Eastes was shown living in Estil Co KY. There was no Elijah East / Eastes found in 1820.

      Elisha East [E4b2a8], minor child of Thomas East and Obedience _____ of Pittsylvania Co VA, was a mis-reading of the records, and this person was actually daughter Elizabeth. (EP)

      Elisha East [E10d], son of William East and Martha _____, was born in VA in 1778 in Halifax Co VA. He was living in Halifax Co in 1820 thru 1850, and probably since birth. In 1820, four doors away, was Archer Farmer, age 26-44. In 1850 Elisha’s wife was Anna _____; her correct name was Hannah Farmer, whom he married in Halifax Co on 17 January 1814. There were no other Elisha East marriages between 1814 and 1850. Witnesses at the marriage were Richard East and Daniel Comer. Hannah was born in VA 17 January 1788. On 14 August 1819 in Halifax Co Elisha sold land in Halifax to Isaac and Sarah D Medley. Again there is an 1844 recorded deed of trust concerning Elisha in Halifax Co, so he lived in that county his whole life. Elisha died in Halifax Co on 6 August 1853 of of dropsy. His death certificate said that his parents were “William and Martha East” and that he was born in Halifax Co, and that his wife was Hannah. The informant for the death certificate was their son “William D East.” Elisha was age 75 when he died, hence born about 1778. They had at least five children, all probably born in Halifax Co VA-*

1.   Harriet G East, b 1814, married in 1844 to Archer Moore. See her biography.

2.   Nancy T East, b abt 1815, married Thomas H Carlton in 1835. See her biography

3.   Obediah F East, b 1817. He was age 23 in the 1850 census; the 1830 and 1840 census had a boy born 1816-1820 in Elisha’s home, and there was no son in 1830 nor in 1840 who was in the 1826-1830 age group. In 1820 the only son was in the Under age 10 age group. Hence, the 1850 age for Obediah must be wrong, and he was likely born in the 1810s, probably in 1817. He was not found after the 1850 census, so had probably died in the 1850s.(26ijkn)

4.   William David East, b 3 Jan 1823, married Caroline Frances Moore in 1848. See his biography.

5.   John H East, b 1823, died 19 August 1854. (SS,26jkn)

Dropsy is an ailment caused by eating the mixture of contaminated mustard oil mixed with argemone oil; its symptoms are acute nausea, vomiting, loose motions, bloated stomach, erythema and swelling of hands and feet.

In 1840, there was one male slave in Elisha’s household.

The 1820 census showed only four East families in Halifax Co: John, Richard, Nancy, and Elisha. This Richard East must have been one of the two witnesses at Elisha and Hannah’s marriage; he may have been Elisha’s brother since his age was about the same as Elisha’s and he had four children under the age of 10 in 1820. (M92,SS, 26mijkndz)

      Elisha East [E4c3b1c1], son of Larkin East and Mary Payton, was born in 1829 in Simpson Co KY. He was not found after 1850 in Lincoln Co MO where his brothers and sisters lived, so probably died in the 1850s in Lincoln Co. (165j, 46kn)

      Elisha D East, son of William D East and Caroline F Moore of Halifax Co VA, was born in October 1849 in Halifax Co. (M92, 26n)

5.   Lena Octavia East, b 16 Aug 1890 at Farmville, Prince Edward Co. She married Richard Kearney Mason when she was age 19, or about 1910, yet in 1910 Lena was living with her father, so the marriage must have been after the summer census. They lived at Farmville in 1920, next door to Lena’s widowed father. Richard was born in Brunswick Co VA in 1888 (age 35 in 1920, 42 in 1930). On his 1942 WW II draft registration, he did not give his birth month nor day, but just the year, and said he was 56 years old. He named his wife as Adalina, and they then lived in Brunswick Co (two counties southeast of Prince Edward Co). Richard must have died in Brunswick Co before he ever drew Social Security, and Lena then moved back to Farmville where she died on 20 January 1973. They had six children, all born in Prince Edward Co VA-*

      Eliza East [E4b2a5c], daughter of William East and Rhoda Clark, was born about 1807 (1805-1810 per 1830 census) in Charlotte Co VA. She married Harrison Cumbee in Charlotte Co on 2 October 1826. They were living in Charlotte Co in 1830, and by that time had one son. They were not found anywhere in 1840; in Halifax Co in 1840 was a Thomas R Cumby, but at that time he had no sons but had two daughters, and a wife. In 1850 Harrison was a carpenter in Halifax Co, with a young woman named Sarah A Cumbee in his home, age 25, but no wife. If the Joseph Cumbee next door had married, the Sarah with Harrison would have been the right age to be Joseph’s wife. Harrison was born in 1806 in VA and was a carpenter. His wife Eliza was likely born about 1807. Their son was-

1.   Joseph Cumbee, b 1827, was a boatman (boat builder) living next door to his father in Halifax Co in 1850. In Joseph’s home the head was Thomas R Cumbee and his wife Eliza. This Eliza was age 37, and Thomas R was age 38. They had seven children ranging in age from 16 top 1, and then 23 year old Joseph Cumbee was listed last, as if he wasn’t a son, but was instead a nephew. The Thomas R Cumbee home also had other young men in it. All were carpenters or boatmen, so the home was a boat building establishment. Joseph was apparently learning his uncle’s trade. (24j,26n)

There was a marriage in Charlotte Co between an Eliza Cumby and Benjamin Howard on 21 February 1839. That marriage was a second for Benjamin since they had numerous children in 1840, but the wife’s age matched with Eliza East’s age, and Benjamin was born in the 1790s. They lived in Campbell Co in 1850, and Eliza was born in 1804; Benjamin was born in 1781. None of the children had familiar East names, and they ranged in ages from 13 years to 5 months. (24ijkm, 26n,25n)

      Eliza A East [E4c3b3h7], daughter of William H East and Evaline Walls, was born in 1860 in Monroe Co IN. She was age 10 in 1870. (130r)

      Eliza Jane East [E4c1a6d7], daughter of Thomas East and perhaps Mary _____, was born about 1827 in TN, probably Giles Co. She married Abner Jarvis Pace in Tishomingo Co MSon 16 October 1844. He was born 9 November 1824 in Giles Co , son of David Walker Pace and Elizabeth Rose. In 1850 Abner was a farmer; then they were living in Tishomingo Co MSclose to Eliza's sisters who had married Abner's brothers. Eliza may have died by 1853 in MS because there is another marriage record for him in Tishomingo Co on 11 August 1853, to Frances J Hagood. Abnere died 2 October 1877 in Prentis Co MS. They had at least two children-

a.    Sarah H Pace, b 9 Jul 1850

b.   Mary Jane Pace, b Sep 1851 (JA,JW,34nm)

      Eliza Jane East [E4c6c3a13], daughter of Josiah East and Sarah Ann Storms, was born in 1834 in Garrard Co KY. She married Robert M Hardin in Garrard Co on 27 August 1854. Robert was born in Garrard Co on 23 July 1826, son of Robert Hardin and Eliza Oda, both from VA. Robert (Jr) died 1 March 1863 and Eliza J was living with her mother at Buckeye, Garrard Co in 1870, with her three children. And living next door was Eliza’s widowed brother James and eight of his children. Eliza lived with her son George at Lancaster in 1880 where he sold candy. He had not married.

      Eliza Jane East [E4c3a6g4], daughter of Jacob Talbot East and Emeline Odell, was born 7 February 1839 in Calvin Twp, Cass Co MI. She married Elias White on 6 August 1857 at Porter in Cass Co. Elias was born in MI in February 1837. In 1860 they lived at Porter a few doors from first cousin Mary L East [E4c3a6d7] and her husband Samuel Merritt. In 1870 they were still at Porter, but in 1880 they lived at Newburg, Cass Co. Eliza had a broken shoulder then, and Elias was also suffering a serious ailment. He was a stone mason. Eliza died in 1913 and Eliza died in 1917, both probably at Newbrg where they had lived for over 30 years. They are buried together in Birch Lake Cemetery at Calvin. They had three children, all born at Porter, Cass Co MI-

      Eliza P East [E1f4], daughter of William East and either Elizabeth Thurston or Sarah Webb, was probably born between 804 and 1812. She grew up in Madison Co AL and married John Pike on 31 March 1826. She was still living in 1846 when her father's will was written. Eliza's sister Priscilla W East married James Pike, John's brother. (M92,JF, 48p)

      Elizabeth East [E4b2a8], daughter of Thomas East and Obedience _____ of Pittsylvania Co VA, was born soon after 1777. She was probably not 21 years by September 1798, but was at least 21 on 2 April 1808 when she sold some of her inheritance to her older brother Thomas. On that date her name was given as Elizabeth East, so she was not married (or had married an East?). (L,EP)

      Elizabeth "Betsey" East [E4c1a2f], daughter of Benjamin East and Nancy Pruitt of Campbell Coand Goochland Co VA, was born 29 August 1783 in Goochland Co, and was christened there on 21 September 1784.

      Elizabeth East [E4c6c5a], daughter of James East and an unknown mother, was born between 1785 and 1794 in Lincoln Co KY or VA (Lincoln Co was a VA county in 1790). Nothing is known of her. (W,359h)

      Elizabeth East [E1b2], daughter of Thomas East and Sarah Graves, was born 26 August 1792 in Henry Co VA. She married Thomas S Webb on 5 January 1808 in Henry Co (the marriage bond was posted on 28 November 1807); the surety was Thomas C Bouldin (see Sally East, Elizabeth's sister). Elizabeth and Thomas moved to Giles Co and lived there for years afterwards near Pulaski. Later in life Thomas was called "Colonel," and died of typhoid pneumonia near Pulaski on 28 November 1851 at the age of 59. There are two gravestones in the Hopkins/Blooming Grove Cemetery off highway 15 near Leatherwood Creek which read "Thomas S Webb, 7 November 1793, 28 November 1851, aged 58 years," and next to it is "Mrs. Nancy, wife of Thomas S. Webb, d. 3 July 1844, aged 38 years." Because the 1840 census of Giles Co (page 160) shows the wife of Thomas S Webb to be in her 30s, then the census fits the age of Nancy, who was buried with Thomas. Apparently, by 1840 Elizabeth had died (or divorced Thomas?), and he remarried to Nancy.

      Another source of info says that Elizabeth died by 21 October 1878 in TX; they moved to TX before 1850; this info then must be talking of Elizabeth’s children, if Elizabeth had died by 1840. The only Thomas S Webb family found in Giles Co in 1840 shows his wife in her 30s, living in the north or northeast part of the county. But since they had four children in their early teen years, and 11 children altogether then, it would appear that this may be the second marriager of Thomas, and not a Thomas Webb Jr. At the time the Thomas S Webb family was living next door to the B(uckner) Abernathy family, father-in-law of Elizabeth's sister Maria, in the north or northeast part of the county. Elizabeth and Thomas had 14 children-*

      Elizabeth East, born 5 July 1795 in VA, married Joseph Holliday in Monroe Co MO on 31 October 1837 in Monroe Co MO. He was born on 15 September 1789 in KY. In 1850 and 1860 they were still in Monroe Co. This was Joseph’s second marriage. His first wife was Nancy R McCune, whom he married in Bourbon Co KY on 18 March 1816. Nancy died at McCune, Pike Co MO on 9 January 1834 with the birth of her ninth child; the last eight children were born in Pike Co. With Elizabeth East there were no children. She died in Monroe Co on 6 September 1868 and Joseph then lived with his daughter Elizabeth. He died 17 December 1870 in Monroe Co. Elizabeth East and Joseph Holliday were buried in Holliday Cemetery in Monroe Co. Joseph’s parents were William Holliday (born 1755 at Rathfriland, Down Co Ireland) and Martha Patton (born about 1760 in Ireland). (W,M92,995mnq)

      Elizabeth East [E4c3a3g], daughter of Isham East and Mary Edds, was born 22 July 1797 in Stokes Co NC. She married Freeman Copeland on 28 January 1822 in Patrick Co VA; the minister was Thomas Whitlock and the surety bond was paid by William East. Since Elizabeth’s paternal grandfather William East had died in 1803, the William East providing the bond must have been her brother. Freeman was born in NC in 1800 and died in Surry Co in the 1850s. In 1830 and 1840 they lived in Surry Co, and were probablyn there in 1827 when they were wanted in the Grayson Co courthouse concerning matters of her brother Drury’s estate. The March 1827 court record shows that “_____ Copeland and Betsey his wife are not inhabitants of this Commonwealth, and having not entered their appearance ...” In 1850 they were both still in Surry Co (spelled Copland), and lived at Siloam. In 1860 Elizabeth and three children still lived together in Surry Co, at Dobson. They had seven children, all born in Surry Co NC-

One of the children, probably a daughter, had a son out of wedlock and lived with her mother in 1860. The two daughters still at home then were Martha and Elizabeth; either could be the mother of the baby. He was George Copeland, age 1/12 on August 8, and labeled “Bastard” by the census taker.

      Elizabeth East [E4c3a3a1], probably a daughter of John East and Mary Johnson, was born 2 January 1812 in Stokes Co NC. She was age 1811-1820 in 1840 with her husband in Stokes Co, and age 1811-1815 in 1820 and 1830 in Stokes Co in her father’s home. Elizabeth married George Martin Nelson in Stokes Co on 14 December 1830; the bond was provided by Jason Amburn. Martin was born about the same time as Elizabeth, according to the 1840 census. They remained in Stokes Co into the end of the 1840s, but in 1850 lived in Wythe Co VA. She died in Wythe Co on 9 February 1881 and was buried in Shaffer Cemetery with Martin. He was born in Stokes Co NC near Pilot Mountain on 13 August 1810 and died in Wythe Co on 5 July 1881 “age 70y-10m-23d.” He was buried in the small Shaffer Cemetery. Living in their home in 1850 was Isom East, age 33 and born in VA. This was probably Elizabeth’s brother. In the Shaffer Cemetery there were only four Nelson graves; Elizabeth and “G M Nelson” plus children Isom and Margaret Nelson.

      There were only three East men from Surry Co or Stokes Cxo NC who could be Elizabeth’s father: John East [E4c3a3a], Joseph C East [E4c3a1d], and Thomas East Jr [E4c3a2e]. All three had a daughter of Elizabeth’s age in the censuses of 1820 and 1830. Since we can be pretty sure that the Isom East living with Elizabeth in Wythe Co in 1850 was her brother, then of the three possible fathers just mentioned, all had a son of Isom’s age. But of those three possible fathers, it was only John who had a father named Isham, a possible namesake for Elizabeth’s brother Isom. Furthermore, Drury East [E4c3a3c8] had also moved to Wythe Co and had a son born there. Drury was a nephew of John East [E4c3a3a]; families generally stick together when they moved to a new location. Hence, Elizabeth East who married George M Nelson is probably a daughter of John East. (She cannot be a sister of the above Drury East because Drury was a son of William East, Elizabeth’s uncle, and William’s children are known; none of them were Elizabeth or Isom.) Elizabeth and Martin had seven children by 1850, all born in Stokes Co NC-*

a.    Isom Nelson, b 7 Oct 1832 in Stokes Co NC and moved to Wythe Co VA when he was about age 17. He married Margaret A _____ in 1859 and lived next door to his parents. Margaret was born in VA on 1 September 1841. When the Civil War broke out, Isom served in the Virginia Infantry for the Confederacy and received a pension for his service. He enlisted as a Private on 15 May 1862 in Company H, 63rd Virginia Infantry Regiment. He was hospitalized on 20 October 1863. Isom was promoted to Full Corporal 4th Class on 1 January 1864, and was a Prisoner Of War on 3 July 1864 at Marietta, GA and sent to Camp Douglass, IL on 16 July 1864. Over the years after the Civil War, Isom and Margaret did a good job of avoiding the census takers. The next time after 1860 they were found was at Lead Mine, Wythe Co in 1900. Margaret was buried in Shaffer Cemetery with Isom. She died 22 July 1899 “Wife Of Isom.” Isom died 9 March 1907. By then their daughter had died. His and Margaret’s daughter was-*

b.   William Nelson, b 1837 in Stokes Co NC and moved to Wythe Co VA when he was a teen. He married Sophrona _____ (Shaffer?) about 1862. She was born in VA on 11 March 1844. In 1870 William was not found, but Sophrona and her eldest three children lived at Fort Chiswell in Wythe Co; their ages, though were about ten years off, as if someone who was not familiar with the family gave the census taker incorrect information. They lived in Wythe Co at Black Lick in 1880. William died by 1900 and Sophrona lived at Fort Chriswell. They had nine children, all still alive in 1900-*

Wythe Co VA is in southwest VA, the county just to the north of Grayson Co where many of these East families lived. Isom East moved to Greenup Co KY, married Susan _____, and had four children by 1870; see his biography below. Jason Amburn, who provided Elizabeth’s marriage bond, was born in Grayson Co VA about 1809. He married in Surry Co NC to Mary George in 1829, and had five children born in Surry Co, then moved to Wythe Co VA soon before 1840 and had two more children. (492q,W,76mk,1085nqrc)

      Elizabeth East [E4c3a1d7], daughter of Joseph C East and probably Joseph’s first wife, was born in 1814 in NC. She married James Badgett in Surry Co on 4 October 1845 and lived in Stokes Co at Marshes. James Badgett was born in 1815 in NC. Elizabeth must have married a Mr Copeland first, and then married James Badgett second. The bondsman for the second marriage was Albert White. No marriage records were found that may apply to Elizabeth, before her marriage with James Badgett, but her marriage record with James was “Elizabeth Copeland,” so she must have married a Mr Copeland first around the middle or early 1830s (her first two daughters were born then). And the only prior marriage for James Badgett was on 21 January 1837 in Rowan Co; that marriage was with “James Badget” actually, and was too late to explain the first two daughters below.

      Elizabeth was an apparent widow living in Surry Co in 1840 with two daughters; her mother, aunt, or mother-in-law was also living with her then. On the following census page were: John Venable [E4c3a4e], son of Ursula East and William Venable; Freeman Copeland, husband of Elizabeth East [E4c3a3g]; and Jesse Copeland, Garrett Copeland, and Truman Copeland. These three Copeland men were of age to be brothers to Freeman Copeland.

      In 1860 her apparent father Joseph East, age 76 and “feeble” was living with her and James. James Badgett died in the 1870s in Surry Co, and in 1880 Elizabeth lived at Eldora next to her son Burell. Elizabeth’s parents were both born in NC, according to the 1880 census. Elizabeth’s seven children were all born in NC, probably Surry Co-

      Elizabeth East [E4a2a3e], daughter of Ezekiel East and Elizabeth Worsham, was born in 1814 in northern Pittsylvania Co VA. She was named after her mother.

James was a farmer, and in 1860 thru 1880 they were living in Dallas Twp, Harrison Co. Since William Hunter, born in TN in 1826, and James’ probable brother William already lived in Harrison Co MO, Elizabeth and James may have decided to settle near William. (William was born in 1819 in TN, and had married Louisa C _____ who was born in MO in 1822.) Elizabeth died in Dallas Twp after 1880 because James had married Sarah _____ about 1896.

Harrison Co is about six counties to the northwest of Lincoln Co, next to IA on the north; Lincoln Co is on the east side of MO, next to IL on the east. There were Hunter families in both counties in 1850, but Joseph wasn’t found among them. In 1880. Living next door, were two Hunter families: Lousa C Hunter, age 55, and her son Jordan, age 19; the second family was Columbus Hunter, age 25, and his wife Analiza, age 26 and their son William C, age 1. From the 1850 thru 1870 censuses, we know that Columbus was Louisa’s son, and Louisa had married William Hunter, who apparently died in the late 1850s. Their children were all born in MO: Rebecca A, b 1844; Elizabeth A, b 1845; Willard P H, b 1848; Henry A, b Oct 1849; Susan, b 1853; James, b 1855; Columbus, b 1856; and Jordan, b 1860. All were born in MO. Louisa lived next door to her apparent brother-in-law James Hunter (Elizabeth East’s husband) in 1870. In 1850 in Harrison Co there was a 76 year old Rachel Hunter, born in NC, living with Madrin Hader and his wife Nancy. And living next door to William Hunter and Louisa C in 1850 was Henry Hunter and his wife Rebecca; both were born in 1796, he in KY and she in VA. This couple could be the parents of William and James. In 1850 in Lincoln Co MO, all within four doors of each other, was Mary Welty, age 63 and born in NC, Joseph C Hunter, age 35 and born in MO, and Asa Hiler, son of Sarah East; Sarah was the sister of Thomas East who had married Fanny Welty. And Thomas East’s daughter Elizabeth had married James Hunter, who was about 10 years younger than the Joseph Hunter living close to Asa Hiler and Mary Welter. Also, in Mary Welty’s home in 1850 were three Hunter children, ages 8 to 2. In addition, in the home next to Mary Welty, was Bazel Pointlow, age 62 and born in France. Thomas East’s daughter Zilliah East (sister of Elizabeth who married a Hunter) had married John Pointlow. John Pointlow was of age to be a son of the Bazel Pointlow living next to Mary Welty (census page 406). Mary Welty lived five doors from Asa East, brother of Fanny Welty’s husband Thomas East.

      Elizabeth Ann East [E1b3a], daughter of Joseph East and Mildred Payne, was born 23 October 1828 in Giles Co and no doubt grew up there. She married Archibald Garrick McDougal in Wayne Co on 15 September 1845, at Waynesboro. Arch was born 22 January 1812 in Cumberland CoNC, fifth child of Alexander McDougal and Eleanor Garrick. Arch's father was born in Scotland, and his mother in NC. Young Arch was five years old when his family moved from NCto Lauderdale Co AL, where he grew up. He became a lawyer at Bolivar, TN, and then settled at Waynesboro where he began law practice. After he and Elizabeth were married, they lived at Waynesboro until 1852, then moved to Savannah. Elizabeth's parents, and her grandmother Sarah Graves, also moved from Waynesboro about this time, living with Elizabeth and Arch. Elizabeth died in the Savannah area on 31 May 1855 and her mother Mildred Payne and grandmother Sarah Graves helped raise Elizabeth's two young daughters. Arch was a successful lawyer in the area, and at times owned great amounts of land in Hardin and Wayne Counties.

      Elizabeth Harriet East [E10d4f], daughter of William David East and Caroline Frances Moore, was born 14 March 1857 (age 19 in 1880, 51 in 1910, 62 in 1920, 70 in 1930) in VA, probably in Prince Edward Co. She married Harry L Campbell in 1895 (per 1900 census) or in 1887 (per 1910 census) and they lived at Fairfield, Henrico Co. This may have been a second marriage for Elizabeth if she had married Harry in 1895 because she had four children by 1900, the eldest born in 1889; these older children used the Campbell name in 1900. Elizabeth claimed, in 1930, that she first marriage at the age of 27, so it appears that the mid-1880s marriage makes Harry the father of all her children.

      Harry was born in VA in December 1863, and was a carpenter. They moved to Manchester, Chesterfield Co by 1910. Elizabeth was living with her daughter Bessie in 1930 and was a widow. In Bessie’s home were four nieces and nephews. Elizabeth had four children by 1900, and five by 1910-*
