      Felix James East [E4c1a6d1g7], son of David Reuben Alexander East and Amanda H Anderson, was born 15 September 1877 in Lawrence Co AR at Spring River. In 1900 he was living in Sharp Co AR a few doors from his eldest sister Mary, and was a boarder in the Samuel L Davis home. About 1908 he married Dolly Elizabeth Wells. She was born at Ravenden Springs, Randolph Co AR in August 1886 (her two next younger brothers were born there), daughter of George Wells and his first wife Laura A Taylor. Felix was a farmer at first, but later became a blacksmith by September 1918 when he registered for the draft. In the draft papers he said his wife’s name was “Dollie East” but in all census records her name was Elizabeth or Lizzie. There is no AR marriage record to show that the two were different women. In 1920 they were living in Thacker Twp in Lawrence Co. In 1930 Felix was single, and living in his blacksmith shop. Dolly had moved to Springfield, Green Co MO with some of their children in the latter half of the 1920s. So they must have divorced, although Dolly claimed, in 1930, she was a widow. They had eight children, the first seven born in Lawrence Co-

Those two babies were born a month apart, so could not both have been Beatrice’s children. (RR,M, 59svwf,90u,41f)

      Frances East [E14a2], daughter of Joseph East and Milly _____, was born in 1788 in northeast GA, probably in Wilkes Co. She married John {Parker} on 23 November 1808 in Clarke County GA. Fanny belonged to Mars Hill Baptist Church in Jackson Co GA, as did her sister Milly. Fanny’s husband John Parker was a first cousin of the John Parker who married Milly.

      John Parker lived in Clarke Co in the 1820 and in 1830. Over the years Frances was dropped from Mars Hill Baptist Church membership, then rejoined. But finally in December 1835 was dropped for good because she and her husband had moved to Chamber Co AL. John Parker died intestate on 15 October 1860 in Chambers Co and is buried in the Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery in the northwestern part of Chambers Co. His wife outlived him, but also probably died in Chambers Co where they lived in 1860. His children can be determined from his estate records

      Frances East [E4c3v1], parents unknown, married Jonathan Harrell in Patrick Co VA on 19 October 1809. Jonathan was the eldest son (of at least ten children) of William Harrell of NC and Frances _____. They were not found after this marriage record. Note that the Harrell name, in the early years, was also spelled Harrel and Harold. Jonathan’s brother Jesse Harrell married Mary East in Patrick Co in 1811. His parents William and Frances lived in NC for years, then in 1809 moved up to VA when he bought 200 acres on Grassy Creek near Orchard Gap in Grayson Co (Deed Book 2, page 538). Many of his children were already adults when he moved to Grayson Co. In 1800 in NC there were no Harold, Harrel, Harel, nor Harell names for William. The only William Harrell names found in 1800 or before were in Bertie, Gates, Hertford, Halifax, and Martin Counties in NC, which are all in the northeast corner of the state. In 1810 there were no Harrell names in either Surry or Stokes Co NC, nor in Patrick Co VA. In the 1820s William and Frances moved to Henry Co IN.

Fannie wasn’t found in her parents’ home in 1850, and James was at that time living alone at Watkinsville. Reading “between the lines,” Fannie must have already moved in with James when the census was taken, but didn’t admit that to the census taker. Then a month or two later they married. Hence, Fannie wasn’t shown in her parents’ home in the 1850 census. James was born in GA in 1826. Fanny died 23 March 1865, and James then married a Mrs Louisa Etchieson in Walton Co on 17 October 1865. In 1880 they were living at High Shoals, Walton Co.

5.   Henry D Brewer, b 1863 (466r,453s)

Louisa already had a daughter when she and James marred; hence, son Henry, who was the same age as Louisa’s daughter, must have been Fannie’s child, not Louisa’s. Louisa and James had children: Lizzie Brewer, born 1866, and William, born 1873.

Watkinsville was in Clarke Co prior to 1875 when Oconee Co was formed from Clarke Co. (GD,454kq,466r,453s)

      Frances E East [E1b4b2], daughter of Reuben East and Harriet Knight Young, was born about 1843 in Wayne Co TN, probably close to Waynesboro where she grew up. In Wayne Co she and Winchester Robinson took out a marriage license on 13 September 1865, but there is no indication that the marriage ever took place. After 1865 no records have been found of Frances or Winchester in TN or any of the nearby states where other East relatives moved. Winchester was born in 1843 in TN, son of Josiah Robinson. In 1885 Frances' sister and her husband C L Hefner bought the newspaper at Savannah, TN and much of the local gossip usually found in small town newspapers was of the doings of the East and Young families; Frances was never mentioned in any of the issues from 1885 to 1900. Winchester was found in White Twp, Pike Co AR in 1880 as Winchester S Robinson, with no children who could have been from Frances. Instead, he was married to a Martha _____ , born in 1846 in AL; this was also her second marriage since her son, Johnnie C Wood, age 13, was living with her and Winchester.

      Francis Orville “Frank” East [E4a2a4h11], son of Thomas East and Priscilla McCracken, was born 13 July 1854 at Taylorville, Christian Co IL. He was still single and living with his widowed mother at Cerro Gordo, IL in 1880. He never married. He attended Illinois State Normal University and afterward taught school. Margaret Barber, afterward married to Brandt Badger, lived in Milmine and kept company with Frank East when she was a young woman. She related this tale Ernest E East: Frank had a fast-moving horse and did not like to have other vehicles pass him. Margaret objected to this kind of buggy-riding and gave Frank the mitten. He promised to be good and begged for one more chance. But later when another driver challenged him – Maggie was in the buggy – Frank took off. So did the horse and became unmanageable. The buggy overturned and Maggie was tossed into an Osage Orange hedge, which had thorns. That ended Frank’s luck with Margaret. He died near Milmine on 26 June 1881 of consumption.

Frank’s wife Mae was born 28 February 1888 in IN, and died 6 November 1921 and was buried in East Cemetery at Cape Sandy. Her gravestone says she was Frank’s wife and was “Age 33.” Frank has a gravestone there also, but without a death date. He was living in Ohio Twp, Crawford Co in 1930 with three children; they had four-*

3.   Willard B East, b Nov 1917 (625wf)

4.   Charles L East, b 1926. This birth date is probably in error since Charles’s mother died in 1921. Or else, Charles’ father married a second time, in the mid-1920s, and the second wife was Charles’ mother. (JY,625f)

      George Brazil East [E4c3b1d1], born in NC in 1818, was probably a grandson of Asa East Sr and Mary _____ of Stokes Co NC. “George B East” married “Mary Guin” in Lincoln Co MO on 5 May 1846 by Baptist minister Robert Gilmore, and they lived the rest of their lives in Lincoln Co. Mary A Guinn was born in MO in May 1830, daughter of John Guinn and Talitha Young. In all censuses from 1860 to her death, she always claimed she was born in MO. Since Asa East Sr had no 2 year old sons in his home in 1820, George must be either a son of one of Asa East Sr’s eldest sons (Thomas? or Asia?), or a son of the unknown John East who also lived in Stokes Co NC in 1820. In 1870 George and his family lived next door to his son Elias in Bedford Twp. George died by 1880; in 1900 Mary was shown to be a widow in the census, living with daughter Phoebe, a few doors from son Elias. George and Mary had at least six children-

      George F East [E4b2a7a1c], son of John Owen East and Nancy Ann Owen, was born 1 June 1858 in Pittsylvania Co VA. He was not found in 1870 so had probably died in the 1860s in Pittsylvania Co. (L,27q)

      George G East [E4c3b3h3a], son of John R East and Matilda J Berkley, was born in 1867 at Bloomington, Monroe Co IN. He was not with his family in 1880, so probably died in the 1870s. (130r)

Isabelle died at Kansas City, MO on 15 November 1914 of gangrene, yet they lived at Brookfield, Linn Co at the time, so she probably died in a hospital. George was a railroad engineer. After Isabelle died, he married again, to Nettie P Shuster. Nettie was born in 1883 in OH, daughter of Mrs Rosa A Shuster. George had retired from the railroad by 1930, but continued to live at Brookfield. He died there in May 1941. George and Isabelle had two children; with Nellie he had none.

3.   David E East, b Dec 1926 (62f)

4.   Gradey East, b Jan 1930 (62f)

Because of daughter Zelma’s birth date, she may not be George’s actual daughter. (BM,N,M,62uvwf)

      George Reginald East [E1b13h2], son of Edward Martin East and Minnie Mindwell Bassett, was born 6 May 1880 at Brigham City, Apache Co AZ, grew up in AZ for the first few years, and about 1890 his family moved to Salt Lake City.

      George Robert East [E7a11g8], son of John Green East and Margaret Ann Rodgers, was born 29 November 1882 in MS, and died 8 October 1949. When he registered for the draft in September 1918 at Natchez, MS, he named as his nearest relatives: “John G East & Maggie A East, father & mother.” He did not name a wife, so was probably not married then. George then lived at Natchez. He was not found after 1918. (W,M, 401uv)

      George Sylvanus East [E4c6c5d10d], son of James East and Alice Ann Noe, was born 4 February 1876 at Leon, Butler Co KS.

George’s nephew Charles James Snyder, son of his sister Caledonia, was living with him and Grace in 1900.

George was a mason in 1910, and a farmer in 1918, and a janitor for the public school in 1930. He and Luella had five children, all born in Harvey Co KS-*

5.   Thomas E East, b 6 Oct 1915 at Burrton, died at Holderville, Hughes Co OK in July 1981. (Z,912wf)

In 1910 George’s brother James lived with him and Luella. (W,M, 1013su,912vwf)

      George W East [E4c6c8], son of Josiah East and Eleanor _____, was born in Louisa Co VA in 1775 and may have moved to Lincoln Co KY in the 1780s with most of his siblings and parents. There was no early marriage for a George East in central KY. (W,JY)

      George W East [E4b2a2e4], son of Thomas C East and Matilda Watson, was born in 1844 in Pittsylvania Co VA. When VA sent forth the call to arms in 1861, George and his brother John C were among the first to join. George was never heard from again, and probably died in the Confederate service. He was likely in the 46th Virginia Infantry since his brother John C was. (M,M44,27nq)

      George W East [E7a3f4], son of John East Jr and Selina E Flowers, was born in 1858 at Alpha, Caldwell Par LA, and died in the 1860s. (385q)

      George W East [??4], son of William R East and Alice _____ of Prentiss and Alcorn Counties MS, was born in September 1899 in Prentiss Co MS. In 1910 he and his family were in Alcorn Co. (88u,36v)

      George W East, parents unknown, was born 14 November 1867 in VA, but over the years, his and his wife’s census records of their birth dates vary by a year or two. George married Jennie Moss in Patrick Co on 26 December 1886. George’s wife was Sarah E in 1900, with an 1862 birth date. Jennie was born in November 1862 in Patrick Co (per 1900 census), daughter of Jesse P Moss and Esther Nunn. Esther Nunn was born in Stokes Co NC IN 1836, daughter of Major Nunn and Elenor _____. Jesse Moss was born in Pittsylvania Co in 1831, son of Mason Moss and Mary _____. George had nine children by 1900 with eight still alive, and twelve children by 1910, with ten still living. His wife in 1910 and 1920 was Jennie; in 1930 she was Sarah again. Some of the birth records of their children show the mother to be Jennie for the children born prior to the mid-1890s, and Sarah E for those born after 1895. Therefore, Jennie and Sarah must have been the same wife. Both Jennie and george were buried together in State Line Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery. George’s gravestone says he was born 14 November 1867, died 13 June 1945; Jennie’s stone says she was born 18 November 1860 and died 20 September 1947. All children were born in Patrick Co VA-*

1.   Sally L East, b 30 Oct 1887. Her gravestone says her birth date was 30 October 1888, which conflicts with the birth date given by her brother Dillard on his WW I draft card. Even if Sally was born in 1887 (her parents were married in December 1886), this birth date would still conflict with Dillard’s birth date. Hence, Dillard’s must be wrong, or both of their dates must be wrong. Sally’s birth date must be 1887, as the 1900 census says; her gravestone in State Line Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery says 1888. Sally married Willie H Holt. He was born 3 May 1894.

2.   Richard Dillard “Dick” East, b 13 Jan 1889 at Peters Creek, married Minnie L ____ in 1910 and lived with his parents. (See the biography of his sister Sally.) Wehn he was young, he use his middle name. Dillard’s census record in 1900 and 1910 both give his birth date as 1889, but his draft card says 1888. Minnie was born in VA in 1881. They had a child by June 1917, per Dillard’s draft card. There was no Dillard found after the 1910 census, other than the 1917 draft records. But in 1910, living at Dan River in Patrick Co was Richard East, age 35, and his wife Minnie, age 38. They had a daughter born in 1915 (the child mentioned on his draft card?). The Minnie with Richard was the only Minnie in VA or NC in 1920 who could be her. The two children they had then were Essie M East, born 1915, and Lizzie H East, born in Oct 1917. In 1930 she was still at Dan River, and her husband then was “D D East,” age 39 (born 1891); Minnie’s age was 49 (born 1881). But two graves found in the East-Moorefield family cemetery about 1.5 miles west of Dry Pond in Patrick Co may solve this mystery. They are Dick D East, born 1888 and died 1934, and next to that grave was Minnie L East, born 1880, died 1934. This must be Richard Dillard “Dick” East. Four of Dillard’s brother Henry Clay East’s infant children are also in this cemetery; there are only aboput ten graves there. Dillard and Minnie had only two daughters, both still at home in 1930, and both born in Patrick Co VA-*

He came to the USA in 1881. In 1920 they lived at South Bend, St Joseph Co IN and he was a merchant there. He and Gracie had three children by 1910, all born in Cass Co MI-

      Grandison D R East [E14a1b1], son of North East and Rachael C _____, was born in 1838 in Hempstead Co AR. He was in Hempstead Co in 1860 living with his brothers and sisters and mother on the family farm, but was not found after 1860. (M92,74knq)

      Granville Clyde East [E4a2a3h5d], son of James Mitchell East and Mary Frances Worsham [E4b2a7c4], was born 2 October 1875 (1873 per draft registration, born Oct 1876 per 1900 census, age 36 in 1910, 46 in 1920, 55 in 1930) at Staunton, Pittsylvania Co VA.

10. Clifton Edward East, b 1916, died in 1968 in Halifax Co. (MV, 27w,26f)

Dave East and his wife Tora, ages 27 & 25, lived with Granville and Callie in 1920. They were not designated with a son / dau-in-law / relative title. (EL,M,MV,27smwc,26uf)

      Green W I East [E4c3a3b11h], son of Patterson East and Sarah Lee, was born in 1861 in Macon Co TN and died in 1871. He is buried in the East Cemetery near Lafayette, Macon Co as “W I East, S/O Patterson & Sarah Lee East.” It was the 1870 census which revealed the Green name. (MV,4rsc)

      Grief Edward East [E4b2a5h], son of William East and Rhoda Clark, was born in 1825 (1821-1825 per 1830 census) in Charlotte Co VA. He married Sarah E Walker on 21 October 1846 in Charlotte Co. They were found in Halifax Co in 1850, living with her parents Mr Beverly Walker and Rebecca Covington. Sarah was born in 1827 in VA. All her children were born in VA, so between 1850 and 1880, she must have lived in VA, or else in a NC county close to the VA border. They were found living at Yancyville, Caswell Co NC in 1860, about 43 miles southwest from the center of Halifax Co VA; Caswell is the county at the north edge of NC just under Pittsylvania and Halifax Counties VA. The census taker had their ages as 40 and 25, making them difficult to find. Grief was a tailor. In 1880 Sarah was living at Oregonville, Rockingham Co NC (the county just west of Caswell Co) with her children, was a seamstress, and was married but without her husband Grief. When her son Thomas married in 1885, he only gave his mother’s name as a parent, not his father. Apparently Grief had died by 1885. They had eight children, all born in VA-

1.   Thomas Addison East, b 9 Sep 1847

2.   Beverly East (boy), b Sep 1849

3.   Robert East, b Jun 185_

4.   Robert Clifton East, b 23 Mar 1853

5.   Whitfield B East, b 3 Jun 1856

6.   Laura Lou East, b 1859

7.   Andrew J East, b 1863

8.   Albert L East, b Jan 1867 (W,24jm,26n,643q,388s,30m)

      Gypsy A East [E1b4h3a], daughter of Mable E East, was born soon before 1900 at or near Savannah, TN. Nothing is known of Gypsy after she was mentioned in her mother's will in January 1913. (FE, ME,9vp)

      Haley East [E4c3a3b4], son of Joseph Isham East and Elizabeth Fitpatrick, was born in 1811 in NC (per 1860 census), but came to Smith Co TN when he was very young and grew up near Knoxville. He married Martha Priscillia James on 21 March 1839 at Schuyler Co IL. She was born in Scott Co IN in 1812, daughter of Thomas James, and died in August 1849 of “dropsy” in Schuyler Co IL; the 1850 mortality schedule shows that she was born in KY. In 1840 Haley and his small family were living in Schuyler Co; they had at that time a young daughter under the age of five, probably born in early 1840. In the 1850 census, taken in late September, Haley’s children were living with their uncle Samuel and aunt Amanda James in Schuyler Co, but Haley was not found. He may have been at Versailles in Brown Co just south of Schuyler Co. In 1860 he was in Brown Co, and his teenage children were living with him; those teens were all born in MO, per the 1860 census. but in all other census records, they were born in IL. Haley enlisted in Company H, 50th Illinois Infantry on 27 November 1861 when the Civil War started. He died 18 July 1862 at Corinth, Alcorn Co MS in a Union Army field hospital. They had five children, all born in IL-

a.    Mary A East, b abt Oct 1839

b.   Sarah Ann East, b 1 Jul 1840

c.    William James East, b 18 Nov 1841

d.   Thomas Burnett East, b 13 Oct 1843

e.    Priscilla Jane East, b 1846

In the 19th Century, when the term Dropsy was used as a “cause” of death, the real cause was usually heart failure caused by high blood pressure and circulatory problems. (MV,141kn,140q,148b)

      Hannah East [E4c3a6a], daughter of William East and Rachel Talbot, was born 16 December 1798 in Grayson Co VA. She moved with her family to Wayne Co IN and was living with them in 1830. She married twice. Her first husband was James Bonine, and the second was Stephen Bogue. Hannah and James married 21 October 1824 in Wayne Co IN, and he died 6 November 1824 at Richland, Wayne Co. From that short marriage there was one child. James was born 28 December 1796 at New Hope, Greene Co TN, son of Daniel Bonine and Mary Copeland. She and her second husband married 3 March 1831 in Wayne Co. He was born 17 October 1790 in Perquimans Co NC (northeast NC, in the tidewater area), and moved to Preble Co OH in 1811, then moved to Cass Co MI in 1831. He died 11 October 1868 at Vandalia, Cass Co MI. His parents were Joseph {Bogue} and Mary Newby. Stephen had been married before, to Eva Elliot, on 24 January 1822 in Preble Co OH. He was a large land holder, the first private owner of that land. His home was a safe-house for the {Underground Railroad} in Cass Co. Stephen bought 160 acres on 1 November 1830, 80 acres on 1 December 1830, and 79.1 acres on 5 November 1833, all in Cass Co. These were cash sales from the US Government. He also built the first grist mill at Vandalia. Hannah died at Vandalia on 26 December 1891. Her six children were-

1.   James B Bonine, b 18 Jul 1825

2    Walter Bogue b abt 1832

3.   Roland Bogue, b abt 1834

4.   Elvira Bogue, b 19 Jan 1836

5.   Susannah Bogue, b 1838

6.   William E Bogue, b 16 Mar 1841

7    Stephen Bogue b 1845 Cass Co (72nq)

Living with Stephen and Hannah in 1850 were Stephen’s sister Elizabeth {Bogue}, age 72 and born in NC; next door was Sally Bogue, age 70 and born in NC. Also with Stephen and Hannah was John Fann from IL, age 24, plus William Cummings from TN, age 4; both males were Mulatto. They may have been escaped slaves being harbored by Stephen and his family as part of the {Underground Railroad}.

James Bonine’s brother was Isaac Bonine; Isaac married Sarah Talbot (born 1791). Sarah Talbot was a sister of Rachel Talbot (born 1780), Hannah East’s mother. (W,M92,M48,M49,Q,52ij,72zn)

      Hannah East [E4c3a6g5], daughter of Jacob Talbot East and Emeline Odell, was born in 1841 in Cass Co MI, and died as an infant. We know she was a child of Jacob and Emeline because there is a monument to their children in Birch Lake Cemetery at Calvin, MI. Her name was actually spelled without the ending H. (72c)

      Hannah Frances East [E10d4k], daughter of William David East and Caroline Frances Moore, was born in 1868 in Prince Edward Co VA, and married Joseph E Elam in Halifax Co on 18 December 1888. The only Joseph Elam found who was born around Hannah’s age was at Banister, Halifax Co in 1910. That Joseph was born about 1857 (age 53 in 1910 & 1920) in VA and had married Annie _____ in 1901. But Hannah’s son, age 18, was in their home. Apparently Hannah died in the 1890s and Joseph remarried. He and Annie were still living at Banister in 1920. Joseph and AnnieLived at Banister for years, and probably died there in the 1920s; their son Louis, in 1930, lived with his elder half-brother John D at Huntington, WV in 1930. Joseph’s son with Hannah was-*

1.   John David Elam, b 29 Jan 1892 at Houston, Halifax Co VA, lived at Banister, Halifax Co in 1910, and moved to Keystone, McDowell Co WV by the summer of 1917. In WV he worked for Norfolk & Western Railroad as an oiler. In 1920 he was still at Keystone, working for the railroad, and was a machinist. He was not yet married then. In 1930 he lived at Huntington, Cabell Co WV with his wife, son, and his half-brother Louis M Elam. He was then a manager of a retail grocery store. In 1942 he still lived at Huntington, and now owned Elam’s Grocery store. John’s wife was Lillian F _____, married in 1926, and born in OH in 1902. John died at Huntington in June 1970. He and Lillian had a son-*

      a.    John David Emam Jr, b Dec 1927 in WV, probably at Huntington. (796f) (SS,M,26v,796w)

Joseph and Annie had another son, Louis M Elam, born 17 March 1906 at Banister, Halifax Co VA, died at Huntington, Cabell Co WV in October 1977. In 1930 he worked in his brother’s grocery store at Huntington, WV. Louis’ mother Annie was born in VA in 1865 (age 45 in 1910 & 1920). (SS,Z,368s.26v)

      Hardiman East [E14d3], son of James East Jr and Mary Edwards, was born about 1795 in Oglethorpe Co GA. He moved with his family to TN about 1811, then to Madison Co IL. Although Haridiman’s name has an I in the middle, it was often dropped and the more common spelling was Hardman. There is a marriage record of a Mr H E W East who married Sarah Hubbard in Jo Daviess Co IL on 26 November 1829. After this marriage, Hardiman East moved to Scott Co Iowa Territory, and in 1840 lived next door to Goodrich Hubbard. In Scott Co in 1840, Hardiam’s age was in the 30s, perhaps 10 years younger than the old birth date of 1795 we had for Hardiman. His wife’s birth date was about the same. They had a girl in their home who was age 5-9. After this, the records are confusing. H E W East and a different wife, Eliza from NJ, lived at Portland, OR into the 1870s and 1880s. That H E W East was the same age as the Hardiman in IN in 1840, and the Portland H E W East was born in GA in 1803, but his father was born in Holland and his mother in England. Therefore, since Mr H E W East was married in northwest IL while his family lived in southwest IL, this may not be the son of James East and Mary Edwards. (DM,ST,815m,700k)

      Hardin East [E1b4b1a2], son of Thomas Reuben East and Minnie Dee Stebbins, was born 16 May 1895 at Greenville, TX, died there on 25 October 1895, and is buried in Greenville next to his parents. (ML,RJ, 85uvc)

      Harley Miner East [E4c3a6d4g], son of Calvin Kermit East and Mabel P Reynolds, was born 26 September 1875 at Vandalia, Cass Co MI. He married Nellie Alfretta Bonine at Birch Lake, Cass Co on 27 October 1894. She was born 12 September 1874 at Penn, daughter of John Newland Bonine and Mary Knight, and died in 1962. Harley worked as a laundryman in 1900, then as a merchant in 1910 in a general store at Penn. In 1918 he worked for Standard Oil at Albion, Noble Co IN as a salesman. And in 1930 they lived at Niles, Berien Co MI where Harley was a was a stock keeper. He died 22 March 1948 at Elkhart, IN. Nellie died in 1962. They had four children-

      Harriet A East [E1b4b3], daughter of Reuben East and Harriet Knight Young, was born in October 1845 in Wayne Co TN, and was a young woman when she moved to Savannah with her family. Close to Savannah is Ross Academy where the Doran families lived. Hattie married George W Doran at Savannah on 6 February 1868. George, a farmer, was born 10 April 1847 in TN, son of William P Doran and Belle _____. Hattie and George and their children lived at Ross Academy near Savannah. She left a will dated 27 September 1913 and was dead by 5 February 1914. There are no records of her being buried in Savannah, and since so many of her descendants lived at Corinth, MS, she may be buried there. George died by 1905, probably close to Savannah; Hattie and her daughter Cornie, both widows in 1910, were living together just outside Savannah. Harriet and George had ten children-

a.    Cornelia M Doran, b Nov 1868

      Harriet G East [E10d1], daughter of Elisha East and Hannah Farmer, was born in Halifax Co VA in 1814. (Harriet’s middle initial was very clearly a G in 1850, and a J in 1860.) She married Archer B Moore in Halifax Co VA on 29 May 1844. In 1850 thru 1870 they lived at Farmville in Prince Edward Co (two counties northeast of Halifax); in 1880 they lived in Halifax Co again. In the 1850 census, he gave “Halifax” as his whole family’s birth places (thru son Isaac). His trade was then a “pattern maker.” Archer was born in 1823 in either Charlotte Co or in Halifax Co VA, and was a blacksmith in 1860, and a miller in 1880. He and Harriet had eight children, all born in VA-*

1.   N (Nancy?) Elizabeth Moore, b abt 1844 (SS,368nq)

2.   Virginia Moore, b 1847, probably died soon after 1850 and her parents named another daughter with the Virginia name. (368nq)

      a.    Annie L Grubbs, b 1878 (SS,26s)

      b.   Mary H Grubbs, b Sep 1879 (SS,26s) (SS,368qr)

7.   Virginia Mary Belle Moore, b abt 1854 in Prince Edward Co VA, used the name Virginia B in 1860, Mary B in 1870, and M B in 1880. She did not give a correct age in 1880, and said she was age 19. Belle may have married Benjamin E Hedderly and lived at Banister where he was a newspaper editor and publisher. He was born in VA in September 1852, his wife Belle was born in May 1858 in VA, and they married in 1891. In 1910 Ben’s wife was Mary B, born in 1853, so it does appear that Ben’s marriage was to Mary Belle Moore, daughter of Harriet East. Ben and Belle had two children-*

      a.    Charles Hedderly, b 29 May 1889, died at South Boston, Halifax Co. (Z,26uv)

      Henry C East [E4a2a3h], son of Ezekiel East and Elizabeth Worsham and a twin of his brother Ezekiel, was born in 1816 (gravestone date) in Pittsylvania Co VA. In 1840 he lived with his recently married brother Ezekiel, then Henry married Susanne Lea on 8 March 1841 in Pittsylvania Co.

(Perhaps that was the reason Henry was living with Ezekiel Jr instead of with his father in 1840.) Since Henry was age 24 when he married, and his gravestone says he was born in 1816, then his birthday in 1816 must have been after the marriage date on March 8. Henry and Susan lived in Pittsylvania Co in 1850. Their close neighbors in 1850 were Susan’s widowed mother and Henry’s father. In 1855 Henry’s father died, and also Susan’s maternal grandfather George West died. Susan inherited land, and they sold her land to John F Patrick, who already owned land next door.

He died 17 October 1909 and was buried in East Cemetery near Lafayette, Macon Co. Henry probably married Marion Harwood and had three children. Over the years, she always lived close to the East families of Macon Co. Henry, or his eldest brother Joseph G East were the only ones who would have been of age to be Marion’s husband and father of the three children. But Joseph G died in 1897, so that leaves Henry P as the likely husband of Marion. She was born in TN in 1885. After Henry P died in 1909, Marion lived with her unmarried older sister Mary C Harwood, and was next door to John Crittenden East (son of Mattison East) and his wife Thomas Frances Jane Parker.

Henry married Caroline Nelson in Washington Co on 4 January 1855. She was born in Washington Co IL in 1833, daughter of Thomas Nelson Jr and Lucretia Mauzy. Caroline’s parents lived next door to her uncle James East [E14d1d] in Washington Co in 1840, and they lived just a few doors away from Caroline and Henry in 1850. In 1860 Henry and Caroline lived in Washington Co a few doors from his brother Archibald and his mother. Caroline and Henry moved to Creek, Dewitt Co in the 1860s and lived there into the 1880s. They had six children by 1870, all born in Washington Co or DeWitt Co IL-

      Henry T East [E1b4a4], son of Thomas East and Mary E Baldridge, was born in August 1849 in Maury Co TN but grew up at Center Star AL after his mother died in Maury Co in 1860. Henry died in February 1880 in the Texas State Lunatic Asylum of an intestinal infection, in Travis Co. He had been a patient there for just one month, and was married when he died. (EP,10ny,49q,108s)

      Henry Tate East [E14d1], son of James East Jr and Mary Edwards, was born about 1790 in Henry Co VA (or in Oglethorpe Co GA?). He fought in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in east central AL on 27 March 1814 during the War of 1812. In 1820 he was living in Madison Co IL, next door to his parents. This Henry East was born between 1776 and 1794; James East was born prior to 1776. Given this information, and the known fact that James and many of his children moved to Madison Co strongly suggests that this Henry was James’ eldest son. These two East men were the only East families in Madison Co in 1820. Henry’s wife was the same age. He had married Elizabeth Coulter in Robertson Co TN on 15 March 1813. She was born in 1788 in Winnsboro, Fairfield Co SC. Henry and Elizabeth lived in Madison Co IL in 1820. They were not in Madison Co in 1830, but were in neighboring Washington Co in 1840 (as was his brother James). Henry’s brother James lived close to Henry, and Henry’s apparent son Andrew lived next door. By 1850 Henry was dead; he died 16 November 1847 in Washington Co and was buried in Old Salem Cemetery in Lively Grove Twp (in the southwest corner of the county). His gravestone says “Age 57 Yrs.” Elizabeth was living in Washington Co, two counties to the southeast of Madison Co, in 1850. In her neighborhood in 1850 was a John Colter (Coulter) family (age 50, born in Ireland), and adult male East men with their own families (David, age 28; Henry T, age 21 and living with Elizabeth Coulter; Archibald, age 19; Andrew M, age 36). All the East men were born in IL except Andrew; he was born in TN. All were living with or next door to Elizabeth. There were nineteen people with an East family name living in Washington Co IL in 1850, and all lived with or next to Elizabeth (Coulter) East. Hence, they all must be her family. In 1860 Elizabeth was still there, but now living with her son Archibald. Elizabeth and Henry had five sons by 1820, and at least four more born in the 1830s-

a.    Josiah East, b 21 Feb 1814

      Henry Young East [E1b4b1d], son of John Harston East and Charlotte Frances Montague, was born 29 September 1871 at Savannah, TN; he was named after his paternal grandmother's youngest brother. Henry grew up at Savannah, and when almost 18 years old, he eloped with Martha Farley "Lela" Jarman, his second cousin through their Young family. She was born 1 January 1872 at Collierville, (then) about 20 miles east of Memphis, TN. (Lela may have actually been born three miles south of town where her father's family had their farm, next door to Henry's great uncle Amaziah Young.) Lela's parents were Angeline E Young and Leonidas Spartan Jarman. She got the nickname of Lela in memory of her father who died when she was a baby. Soon after Henry and Lela married, they moved into his aunt Jennie East's (Mrs C L Hefner) home at Savannah on Main Street; in the summer of 1891 Lela inherited land at Marianna in AR, so she and Henry moved there in December 1891. Within two weeks they returned, displeased with the place, and Henry took a job as a mail carrier. Eventually they had their own home built at Savannah (3rd and Water Streets), but in August 1897 they sold it and soon moved back to Marianna to farm Lela's inherited farmland. There they remained for about 30 years, finally moving to Chowchilla, CA near where their daughter Flora had moved in 1923. Henry was a farmer there, and died at Chico, Butte Co CA on 14 April 1966. Lela predated him, dying at Chico on 24 June 1962. Both are buried in Chico. Their children were-

5 year old John Ellis was living with Isaac and Nancy in 1850. He was born in IN. (W,125h,507m,128n)

      Isaac East [E7a7], son of Tarlton East Sr and Zilpha Priscilla Walker, was born 30 June 1796 in Edgefield Co SC (two counties south of Laurens Co). He moved with his family to KY, then to LA by the time he was an older teen. In 1820 he lived next door to his widowed mother in Feliciana Par LA. There was a second male of Isaac’s age in his home then, but no children nor women. Isaac married Margaret Smith at Montecello, Lawrence Co MS on 21 August 1822. She was born in 1804 at Montecello, daughter of Stephen Smith and Jemima _____, and died in 1838, probably in Franklin Co where they lived in 1830. In 1830 Isaac was the only East family in Franklin Co; in that year in Isaac’s home was a young man too old to be a son. He was probably Isaac’s cousin James East [E7d2] on one of his tobacco selling trips from Caldwell Co KY to MS, temporarily staying with Isaac until his return trip to KY. Franklin Co is quite close to the Mississippi River, which was James’ “highway” to MS from KY. Isaac and Margaret had nine children.

      After Margaret’s death, Isaac married Rebecca Smith in Franklin Co on 19 March 1839 and they had ten children. She was born in 1813 at Rome, GA, and died in the 1860s, probably in Franklin Co where they lived. She was buried near Red Star. Isaac then married Demares Fergerson in the 1870s; he was living with his two youngest children in Lincoln Co in 1870, without a wife. Demares was born in SC in 1798, so when she married Isaac in the 1870s, she was too old to have children. She probably died in Lincoln Co. Isaac died 24 July 1887 at Brookhaven, Lincoln Co, and was buried in Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery at Brookhaven. He and his first two wives had nineteen children-

In 1850, Isaac lived next door to Jane Lofton, age 67 and born in SC. In 1860 he lived next door to his cousin James East [E7d2] and wife Hannah who were born in SC in 1804 and 1806. One source of info for this family was a granddaughter of son Isaac Newton East. (W,MV,K,3e, 104i,56m, 37k,38jmnq)

NOTE: In southwest MS there were three Isaac East boys who were born in the mid-1840s to 1850; These three have caused much confusion for genealogists over the years:

In 1850 was 6 year old Isaac East, son of Joel East and Catherine in Copiah Co; Isaac W East, age 6 months, son of William East and wife Kiziah, was in Copiah Co, and lived seven doors from Joel & Catherine; and Isaac East, age 5, was in Franklin Co and was a son of Isaac East and Rebecca.

In 1860 was 16 year old Isaac East, son of Joel East and wife Catherine in Copiah Co (and was next door to the next Isaac); Isaac East, age 11, son of William East and his wife Kizziah, and living in Copiah Co; and 15 year old Isaac East, son of Isaac East and his wife Rebecca was in Franklin Co.

In 1870 was 24 year old Isaac East and wife S A living in Lincoln Co, with no children yet; in Lincoln Co was 20 year old Isaac East and wife M C and their 2 year old daughter Cora; the third Isaac, who would have been age 25 or so, was not found.

In 1880 was Isaac N East, age 33, and wife Sarah Ann in Lincoln Co with no children; Isaac W East, age 29, and wife Minerva C and daughter Cora (and younger children) in Jefferson Co; and Isaac East, age 30, and wife Ann in Lincoln Co with four children, and they were living next door to the Thomas Smith family. The first Isaac, married to Sarah Ann, was definitely the son of Isaac East Sr who married Rebecca Smith as a second wife because of information supplied by a niece of this Isaac (Jr) who stated that son Isaac East, son of Isaac Sr and Rebecca Smith, married Sarah Ann Smith, had a middle name of Newton, and was born 27 December 1846. The third Isaac (age 30) was a son of Joel and Catherine, and he lowered his age by 6 years for the census taker. He was living next door to Thomas Smith who married Elizabeth H East; this Elizabeth was a sister of Isaac Newton East and was a daughter of Isaac East who married Rebecca Smith. This third Isaac, actually born in 1844, was a first cousin to Elizabeth H East and to Isaac Newton East, and was a grandson of Tarlton East.

In 1900 Isaac East, age 54, and wife Sallie A were in Lincoln Co with no children at home; Isaac W East’s widow Minerva was in Lincoln Co with three adult children. The third Isaac East and wife Margaret Ann were at McComb, Pike Co MS then, and two sons were in Pike and Lincoln Counties where the descendants of Tarlton East’s brother lived.

      Isaac East [E26a], probably a son of Benjamin East of Gwinnett Co GA, was born around 1800 and died intestate in Hall Co GA soon prior to 19 March 1849 when John East was issued temporary letters of administration. In the 1850 census, the only East household in the county was "Loro East, widow," living with Elizabeth Compton and Hannah Compton. Both Compton women, age 32 and 22 respectively, were born in SC. Loro was born in 1805, also in SC. Isaac and Loro did not appear to have any children. If Isaac’s estate administrator was a son, as was normally the usual procedure, he was-

1.   John Jackson East, b Jan 1819in GA. (M92,186u)

      Isaac East [E4b2a5b], son of William East and Rhoda Clark, was born in 1805 in Charlotte Co VA. He married Elizabeth Pugh on 6 December 1824 in Charlotte Co; the minister was Nat Lovelace. They were not in the Charlotte Co 1830 census, so may have been living in his wife’s parents’ home. Isaac and Elizabeth were found in 1840 in Charlotte Co: Isaac’s age was 30s; Elizabeth’s was the same. By 1840 they had four children. In 1850 Isaac was a blacksmith, and was born in 1805; his wife was then dead, and in his home at Charlotte he had two children. Isaac East married second to Nancy R Justice on 30 September 1851 in Charlotte Co, and they moved to Lunenburg Co where he continued being a blacksmith. Nancy was born in VA in 1813 (age 47 in 1860, 50 in 1870), and she had no children with Isaac. They remained in Lunenburg Co at Pleasant Grove into the 1880s, but he was a farmer by 1870. His four children were all born in Charlotte Co-

2.   Margaret East, b 1835, moved with her father and step-mother to Lunenburg Co in the 1850s. She had not married by the summer of 1860. (24kn,390q)

4.   John East, b 1838 (24kn) (24imkn,390q)

      Isaac East [E1d1a], son of John East and _____ Cazey, was born in January 1825 (age 25 in 1850,35 in 1860, 45 in 1870) in Franklin Co AL. He was a grocer in Tishomingo Co MS (the county just west of Franklin Co AL). Isaac married Julia Jennette Avent in Lafayette Springs, MS on 10 January 1855 (three more counties westward). She was born in Lafayette Co MS on 12 April 1840, daughter of Benjamin Edward Avent and Olive Crain Patton. Isaac fought in the Mexican-TX war in the 1840s, and served in the Civil War under Forrest. He lived in Tishomingo Co MS in 1850, Chickasaw Co in the late 1850s, Lafayette Co in 1860 and 1870 (1870 census showed him as “Isom” East, age 45), and died 9 April 1879 in Lafayette Co. (In a 1907 letter from a descendant of Isaac's brother John it stated that "John's brother Isaac is 82 last January," and in the 1880 census Julia stated that she was married, not widowed.) Jennette died 3 August 1883 in Talbott Co GA. Isaac and Jeannette had at eight children-

      Isaac East [E4c6c5k2], son of James East and Mary Ann Summers, was born 27 February 1841 in Ripley Co IN. He married Caroline {Batman} in Crawford Co on 22 July 1860. She was born in Crawford Co on 4 April 1840, daughter of Hiram Batman and Susannah Rider, and died 2 April 1912 at “age72" in Crawford Co. She was buried in East Cemetery at Cape Sandy. Isaac died in Crawford Co on 21 April 1926 and was also buried in East Cemetery. They had twelve children by 1910, all born at Cape Sandy in Crawford Co, but with just five still living-

In 1870 in Ohio Twp, Crawford Co, Caroline’s mother and three siblings lived next door. It appears that Isaac married his next door neighbor. But the 1870 census shows his wife to be Rachel, age 21; in 1880 his wife was Caroline, age 38; in 1900 she was Caroline, age 60; in 1910 she was Caroline, age 70. The gravestones of two daughters show that their parents were “Isaac & Catherine East,” Isaac’s gravestone says that his wife was Caroline Batman. Therefore, either mistakes were made in recording Caroline’s name over the years, or she had two or three given names. (W,507n, 625nqmrsvc)

      Isaac East [E7a11h], son of Joel Walker East and Catherine Lofton, was born 25 March 1844 (age 30 in 1880, 74 in 1920) in Lincoln Co MS and grew up in Copiah Co. He served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, in Robert’s Company. He received a pension for his Civil War service (#23379) and lived at Little Rock, AR. Isaac married Margaret Ann Furlow on 10 June 1869 in Copiah Co. Her name was spelled Furlough on her son William’s death certificate. She was born 3 January 1845 (age 30 in 1880) in MS, probably in Amite Co, daughter of Thomas Furlow and Elizabeth Whaley. In 1880 Isaac and Margaret lived next door to the home of his first cousin Elizabeth H East [E7a7a] in Lincoln Co. In 1900 they lived at McComb, Pike Co MS. Isaac died 8 July 1929 at Summit, Pike Co at the home of his daughter Lillian, and was buried at McComb, MS in Bethany Cemetery (picture). His home was at Little Rock, AR, and he was on a visit to see Lillian when he died. Margaret died 19 October 1906 and was buried in Bethany Cemetery; their granddaughter Julia Margaret Kornegay was buried between them. Isaac and Margaret had seven children, all born in MS-

      Isaac Cooper East [E1d1a3j], son of William Washington East and Mary Mack Phillips, was born 13 December 1905. He married Beulah Neil Toler, daughter of Edward B Toler and Anna Myrtle Milam, on 24 March 1931, at Little Rock, AR. She was born 14 June 1912 at Little Rock. Isaac is a doctor. They have three daughters-

      Isaac Edward East [E4a2a3h5], son of Thomas East and Priscilla McCracken, was born 8 September 1842 at Locust Grove, Adams Co OH, died 1 October 1857 at Taylorville, Christian Co IL. (W,275n)

      Isaac Homer East [E7a11h7], son of Isaac East and Margaret Ann Furlow, was born 25 April 1886 in Copiah Co MS (from family records). He gave his birth date as 10 April 1888 in “Capire Co Mississippi” when he registered for the WW2 draft at Jacksonville, AR in 1942. Isaac named (his sister) “Mrs Tom Kornegay at Jacksonville, AR as his nearest relative then. Isaac lived at Pine Bluff, AR when his father died in 1929. Homer died 18 April 1966 at Memphis, TN and was buried in Good Faith Cemetery. He married Ida Bell Golden on 13 April 1913. She was born 1 August 1888 at Columbus, GA (born 1895 per 1900 census), daughter of Mrs Lucy Golden (born Jan 1870 in GA, a widow by 1900), and died 15 January 1973 at home at Pine Bluff, AR. In 1920 they lived at Vaugine, Jefferson Co AR where Homer was a plumber. Ida was also buried in Good Faith Cemetery. They had a son-*

Ida Bell Golden had a sister Ula Golden, born in 1897 in GA. (XY,Z,M, 429u,463u,75w)

      Isaac Mansfield East [E4b2a4k], son of Isaac East and Joyce Pemberton, was born 26 December 1818 in VA, probably Pittsylvania Co Co when the family went back for a Christmas visit at the end of 1818. But Isaac lived at Locust Grove, Adams Co OH when he was a boy. He married Nancy Roads in Adams Co on 29 December 1842. She was born 23 February 1824 in OH, daughter of Gustavus Roads and Margaret _____. Isaac was a saddle maker in Highland Co at Brush Creek. Nancy died 4 January 1889 in Highland Co; Isaac died at Brush Creek on 22 May 1894. They had six children, all but the eldest born in Highland Co-*

      Isaac N East [E13a1k10], son of Anderson R East and Mary A Goings, was born in May 1851 in Delaware Co IN. He married Keren M Sparr in Delaware Co on 25 December 1877. She was born in KS in February 1858. About 1883 they moved to Sparr, Marion Co FL (some of his siblings also moved to Marion Co), but moved back to IN and settled at Anderson, Madison Co about 1898. Isaac was a house carpenter and carpenter at Anderson. On 26 April 1910 Isaac was at in Riverside Co CA working in an orange packing house, with his two daughters Fannie and Maud, and he claimed he was a widower. Yet on 21 April 1910 he was shown living at Anderson, IN with Karen. At Anderson, the two daughters in CA were not shown in their home in IN. Five days between those two locations would have been a major event in 1910, so perhaps Karen in IN reported to the census taker while Isaac talked to the CA census taker. Both Isaac and Karen were living at Glendale, Los Angeles Co in 1920, so the double census reporting of 1910 was probably because Isaac and two of their daughters went to southern CA to prepare for the pending relocation. In 1920 they lived at Glendale close to his sister Caroline, and a few doors from Ernest Elwood East from IN (son of a Mr East and a Ms Bronnenberg). Isaac and Karen both probably died at Glendale in the 1930s.

       They had a daughter by 1880, and claimed they had seven children by 1900, all still living. The census showed eight, so perhaps Viva died young, and by 1900 they had forgotten her. In 1910 all eight children were remembered. All were born in Delaware Co IN, Madison Co IN, or at Sparr, Marion Co FL for children born after Emma-*

a.    Viva East, b 1879 in Liberty Twp, Delaware Co IN, probably died by 1900. No marriage record for her was found. (781s, 729u)

b.   Arthur A East, b Oct 1880 (729u) perhaps married Annabell Stevenson from IL in 1907 and lived at Los Angeles in 1910? Annabell was born 1887. They had a son-*

c.    Emma Leah East, b 7 Oct 1882 (CA death record said born 1885, age 17 in 1900, 26 in 1910, 37 in 1920), married Harry Major in Madison Co on 20 June 1906. They lived at Shelbyville, Shelby Co IN in 1910 and 1920; Harry was a jeweler on the public square at Shelbyville. He was born in Shelbyville on 15 February 1878, son of Squire L Major (a school commissioner) and Lucinda M Wilson who lived next door in 1920. Leah died in Orange Co CA on 6 November 1948. They had a son-*

      1.   Robert A Major, b 13 Feb 1908 at Shelbyville, IN, died there in August 1976. He may have married Juanita _____. If so, she was born 31 January 1906, and died at Shelbyville in November 1983. (Z,789vw) (CAd,M, 729u,789mvw)

e.    Clifford Winn East, b 7 Apr 1887 at Sparr, Marion Co FL, but lived at Anderson, IN in 1900. In June 1917 he was married and had a child. His wife was Gertrude M Morsches, married 23 September 1906 in Madison Co. She was born in IN December 1886, daughter of William Morsches Jr and Katherine ____. Gertrude was named after her paternal grandmother (born in Prussia). Clifford and Gertrude had a daughter-*

      1.   Katherine East, b 1908 at Anderson, Madison Co IN. (729v) (M,729uv)

f.    Fannie L East, b 31 May 1891 at Sparr, Marion Co FL, married Robert Allen about 1911 in southern CA, and in 1930 lived with Fannie’s parents at Glendale, CA. Robert was born in PA in 1891 and worked as a manager of a tree spraying business (pest control?). Fannie died in Los Angeles Co on 19 May 1963. They had a son-*

      1.   Robert M Allen, b 1915 in CA. (70f) (CAd,729u,254v, 70f)

g.   Maud C East, b Jan 1894 at Sparr, Marion Co FL, married Isiah Waterman in 1914 in southern CA, and in 1930 they lived with her parents at Glendale, CA. Isiah was born in 1888 in IA, and was a medical doctor. Maud was a nurse. They did not appear to have had children by 1930. (729u, 254v,70f)

h.   Iola May, b Jun 1897, probably died young, in the 1910s. (729uv)

Isaac’s widowed father and his uncle Morton C East lived with him in 1880. Uncle Morton was single; he was age 79 in 1880, age 56 in 1860 (living next to James H East, and born in VA). (781nqrs, 729uv,254v, 70w)

      Isaac Newton East [E7a7n], son of Isaac East and Rebecca Smith, was born 27 December 1845 in Franklin Co MS, in the part which became Lincoln Co in 1870, and lived there for the remainder of his life. Isaac served in Company E, 24th Battalion in the Mississippi Cavalry in the Civil War. He married Sarah Ann Zachary in 1863. She was born in MS in May 1845, daughter of Wiley P Zachery and Elizabeth _____. In both the 1880 and the 1900 censuses, they gave the same birth months. Sarah claimed to have two children in the 1900 and 1910 Lincoln Co censuses, and both children were still living. But the 1870 and 1880 census disagrees with this, and shows no children in her home. If she had children, they died before 1870. In the 1910 and 1930 censuses, Isaac claimed that his father was born in KY. Sarah died 12 September 1930, probably in Lincoln Co where they lived; Isaac died 25 February 1935 and was buried in Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery in Lincoln Co. Isaac and Sarah had two children, both born at Brookhaven, Copiah Co MS, and both died by 1870-*

      Isaac North East [E4c6c5j7], son of Joseph East and Olive Neff, was born in 1848 at Mission, LaSalle Co IL. He married Mary J Raymond in Grundy Co on 21 March 1867. She was born in 1845 at Manlius, LaSalle Co in IL, daughter of Reuben Raymond and Caroline. In 1870 they were in Grundy Co IL, and in 1880 they lived at Jordan, Jasper Co IN a few doors from his parents. Mary died in ND in 1889 and Isaac then married Sarah D _____, and they lived in Lewis and Clark Co MT with Isaac’s youngest child in 1900. Sarah was born in MA in June 1847; she and Isaac had no children by 1900, but she apparently had four children from a prior marriage. She was first married about 1878. Twenty years later, at Lake, King Co WA, Isaac lived with wife number three. She was Belle G _____, born in 1867 in Canada. She had died in the 1920s and in 1930 Isaac was living alone at Lake. He died in WA after 1930. He and Mary had four children-

A few months later Mrs. Spencer was taken to Las Vegas, New Mexico, in the hope that the milder climate would prove beneficial, but there was no marked improvement and the young wife was brought to Decatur last May. She has since been in Decatur attended by her husband and relatives, all hoping that a change for the better would come. Mrs. Spencer was remarkably cheerful considering her low state of health, and frequently took a ride about the city in the family phaeton.

The deceased had hosts of personal friends in the community who will be pained to learn of her premature death. All admired her for her womanly graces and loved her as a sister and friend.

Afternoon

___

ATTENDANCE WAS VERY LARGE

____

Sermon By Rev. F. W. Burnham At

Central Church of Christ

_____

      The funeral of the late Judge William L. Hammer was held at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon from the Central Church of Christ and was one of the most largely attended funerals ever held in Decatur.

      The services were conducted by Rev. F.W. Burnham, the pastor of the church, and the music was furnished by a choir composed of Mrs. Beatrice H. Fuller, Mrs. F.P. Howard, A. Kieth and J.E. Patterson. Mrs. J.E. Patterson was at the organ.

      The members of the Macon Lodge No. 8, A.F. and A.M., were in charge of the funeral and with other Masons attended in a body. It was the largest turnout of Masons seen in the city in years. The clerks of the Millikin National bank, which institution was closed for the afternoon also attended. Mayor Shilling and representatives of the city council were present. Judge hammer having at one time been mayor of the city.

      Besides there was a large gathering of friends. The church would not hold all of the people who came and the funeral procession was an especially long one.

      The funeral sermon was preached by Mr. Burnham. He began by reading a short history of Judge Hammer's life, referring to the fact that the judge was born in Clark county, Ky., Nov. 1817, and died May 20, 1903. Judge Hammer joined the Christian church when young and continued in that faith until his death.

      The burial was at Greenwood cemetery. The members of the bar and the Masons marched to the cemetery and at the grave the Masonic ritual was performed.

She was not shown with her family in 1860, but her twin brother Ezekiel was. Isabel married Phillip Wiseman Marsh on 8 April 1866 and they lived in Macon Co. He was born in 1845 and died 4 July 1911. Isabel and Phillip had two children by 1870, both born in Macon Co-*

      Isaiah East [E4a2a3d4], son of John Wesley East and Elizabeth Kelsey, was born in 1842 in Henry Co MO and when he was a toddler, his family moved to Polk Co OR where he grew up. He was Jessey East in 1850, Joser in 1860. He married Henrietta _____ before 1871 in OR, and they divorced on 31 December 1871 in Wasco Co OR. In 1880 he was living with his widowed mother and younger brothers, and was shown then to be single, not divorced. Isaiah was not found after 1880. (CA, 880nqs)

      Isham East [E4c3], son of Edward East Sr of Henrico Co VA and Elizabeth Woodson, was born about 1700 in Henrico Co VA. He died in Laurens Co in 1753. Isham’s wife is unknown, but he had at least three sons-*

c.    Joseph East, b 1734 in VA. (W) (EP,W,29p)

      Isham East [E6], son of Thomas East, lived in Laurens Co SC, was born by 1740 (in VA?). He first was found in Ninety-Six District South Carolina Colony in 1779, and records show he was in Laurens Co on 5 February 1785. Perhaps he came from Halifax Co VA, for there was a lawsuit there in May 1762 concerning an Isham East. In the May 1762 Court in Halifax Co VA, "Isham East, Plt. v. Nathaniel Pass and Robert Wooding, admor. of William McGinnis decd, Defts in case. This day came the Plt by his attorney, and thereupon cam also a jury to wit [jurors named] who say that the Plt has sustained damages by reason of the breach of a certain promise and assumption in the declaration, to 8 pounds 18 shillings and 4 pence half penny. Judgment for Plt for the damages afd."

      In 1790 Isham lived in Laurens Co SC, close to Josiah East [E4c1a3], William East [E4c1a1], and Isham East Jr (born in 1758), son of William East [E4c3a]. He and the younger Isham were not in Laurens Co in 1800. He married Jemima _____; on 13 October 1792 "Isham East and wife Jemima" sold 259 acres on Allison's Creek of the south Branch of Duncan's Creek to Robert Long for 10 shillings.

      Isham East [E4c3a3], son of William East and Mary Cannon, was born 4 February 1758 in Charlotte City, Charlotte Co VA. He bought 250 acres from the state of NC for 125 shillings in “the County of Stokes (late Surry)” on the “16th day of July in the 20th year of Our Independence.” (This was 1795. Most of the nearby recorded deeds referred to the XXth “year of our Independence” and then also stated what the actual year was of the land purchases, and the recorder was counting from year 1775.). The location of this tract bordered land belonging to Martha Childress, David Johnson, and William D Carter. On 20 September 1803 “Isham East of the county of Patrick and state of Virginia” on the one part paid “one hundred pounds” to Samuel Jackson for a tract of 150 acres in Stokes Co NC on the middle fork of the Little Yadkin river. Thomas East and Hugh Boyles witnessed this purchase. Note that Isham lived in Patrick Co when he bought this land, yet in 1795 he also bought 250 acres in Stokes Co, and remained living in Patrick Co. Therefore, his home in Patrick Co must have been quite close to the VA-NC border.

      Isham died in Patrick Co on 19 January 1835. He wrote his will on 12 December 1830. and his estate was in probate in March 1835. His will named: wife Mary and gave her five slaves “two boys Bill and George,” “Bob and Ellisha Will and Luey,” plus “two horse beast two cows and the house furniture;” son William East, who was also named as executor, was given the northwest side of Isham’s farmland and “negroes Phil James Charity Amy and her future increase;” son James was given farmland lying between son William’s land and land James already owned, after James’ mother died; son Joseph was given the “above boy Bob” after his mother died; daughter Mary Riddle was given $100; daughter Sally East was given $100; daughter “Elizabeth Copland” was given “my negro girl Lucy;” daughter Ursula Nunn was given “my negro boy Davis.” Isham alse gave “my man Will” his freedom. Isham also named “the children of my deceased son John East” $100 to be divided among them and paid when they become of age.

      Isham had married Mary Eades (Edds / Eads) on 6 September 1781 in Campbell Co, by Baptist minister Nathaniel Hall. Mary was born about 1760 in Bedford Co and died in 1843 in Stokes Co NC, although she lived in Patrick Co in 1840 (next door to Joseph East and Seaton East). Mary applied to the Patrick Co court for Isham’s Revolutionary War {pension}. On 12 September 1843, Mary East “a resident of North Carolina in the county of Stokes formerly of Patrick County Virginia,” aged 83, appealed to the Stokes Co court to grant her one year of Isham’s pension money. She said that Isham had applied for his pension on 18 June 1833. Mary and Isham had eight children-

      Isham East [E4c3a3c5], son of William East and Polly Cannon, was born 8 April 1814 in Patrick Co VA, grew up in there. He bought a Negro named Bob from John East in Stokes Co NC on 19 July 1845. Since grandfather Isham East [E4c3a3] had died years before, and his son John had predated him in death, these two cannot be the Isham and John of this 1845 transaction. Isham East [E4c3a3] did have a son William East who remained in Patrick Co VA into the 1820s. Also, Thomas East Jr [E4c3a2e] lived in this area and had sons who would have been the right age for this transaction. And on 12 February 1845 Isham East married Letta Hill, then on 23 May 1845 Isham East “of Stokes Co” NC owed William Hill $161.28, and in order to secure it with William Hill’s satisfaction, Isham transferred title to some of his property (farm livestock and a corn crop) to John F Hill as security (William’s son, and probably a brother-inlaw of Isham). If the debt wasn’t paid on time, John F Hill then would sell the property to pay William Hill; if the debt was properly paid, then John F Hill was to transfer title back to Isham. Isham signed the papers with an X. The William Hill family lived at Quaker Gap in Stokes Co two doors from Ursula East [E4c3a3h] and her husband James Nunn. Isham and Letta were not found in Stokes Co in 1850. William Hill’s wife was Elizabeth Abbott (Letta’s parents?).

      Isham was next found in McDonald Co MO in 1870, now married to Mary _____ from MO. She was born in 1820 in TN. Isham’s 81 year old mother Polly was living with him and Mary then. Isham remained in McDonald Co into the 1900s. He was a widower in 1900, living alone at Anderson, MO, and probably died there. (76Gzmn,240m 653rsu,)

      Isham Mewford East [E7a3f3], son of John East Jr and Selina E Flowers, was born 10 January 1850 in Attala Co MS. In Lamar Co TX he married P Jane _____ in 1876. She was born in AR in 1856. They had two sons by 1880, both born in Lamar Co-*

a.    William Frank East, b 23 Nov 1876, married Ida Tempie _____ in 1899 and they lived in Red River Co. Tempie was born 12 Dec 1882 (age 36 in 1920) in MS (LA per 1900 census). They lived at Bagwell, Red River Co in September 1918 when he registered for the draft. Tempie died there on 15 September 1968, and was a widow then. They had a daughter-

      Isis East [E4c6c3k6], daughter of Bailey East and Mary _____, was born 9 January 1848 at Heltonville, Lawrence Co IN, and married William B Vestal in Putnam Co on 30 September 1869. They lived at Cloverdale, Putnam Co where William ran a livery stable in 1880 but was a real estate agent in 1910. He was born at Warren, Putnam Co on 10 February 1843, son of Samuel Vestal and Telitha Brinton, both from KY but married in Putnam Co IN. William died 6 August 1914. They had four children by 1880, all born in Putnam Co-

      Isom East [E4c3a3a4], probably a son of John East and Mary Johnson, and very likely was a brother of Elizabeth East who married Martin Nelson in 1830 (see her biography). Isom was born in VA (Patrick Co?) in 1817 (age 33 in 1850, 39 in 1860, 55 in 1870). When his sister Elizabeth married, and then moved to Wythe Co VA in the winter of 1849-1850, Isom went along and lived with her. In 1860 he wasn’t living near Elizabeth, but instead had moved to Greenup Co KY in the 1850s. In Greenup Co he married Susannah Johnson on 1 April 1855 and worked as a constable in 1860. In 1870 he was a teamster. Susan was born in NC in 1837. In their home in 1860 was 13 year old James Johnson, also born in NC as Susan was. Isom died about 1878 and Susan then quickly remarried and lived at Walnut, Lincoln Co KY. Her new husband was William Montray, born in IN in 1852, and he was a brother of Susan’s daughter-in-law Sarah Montray. They married in Gallatin Co IL on 13 October 1878. Susan and Isom had six children; all were born in Greenup Co KY-*

a.    John W East, b 11 Jun 1856

c.    Jesse East, b 1860

d.   Mary Ada East, b 1864

e.    Elizabeth N East, b 27 Dec 1867

f.    Nancy East, b 1871

The question arises as to why the assumption was made that Isom was a son of John East and not a son of Thomas East Jr [E4c3a2e] or Joseph C East [E4c3a1d]. All three men had children of age to be both Isom and his sister Elizabeth. But of those three potential fathers, John East, son of Isham East must have been the father because of the name Isom and Isham which was often handed down for the next two generations in this line. John East’s father Isham East was well respected in the Patrick Co and Surry Co area. And these three men, John, Thomas Jr, and Joseph C were the only males in theis area who had children of the ages of Isom and his sister Elizabeth in the 1830 and 1840 censuses. (JJ,1085n,492mqr,124s)

      Isom L East [E4c3a6m], youngest son of William East and Rachel Talbot, was born 4 April 1826 in Wayne Co IN, probably near the White Water Quaker Church since his parents were members since December 1815. He married Asenath Harris on 24 September 1849 in Cass Co. She was born in IN on 11 December 1831 and died 14 September 1887; her grave in Birch Lake Cemetery at Calvin says “w Isom.” Isom died 3 May 1884 and was also buried in Birch Lake Cemetery. They remained in MI for a few years, living next door to his nephew James Milton East, then by the summer of 1857 moved to Pawnee Co in the Kansas Territory with two of their children. They stayed in Pawnee Co just three or four years before they moved back to Porter Twp, Cass Co by 1864, where they remained until they died. They had at least four children-

      Jackson East [E4a2a2g], son of Thomas East and Mildred Timberlake, was born in Pittsylvania Co VA in 1813 (age 20-29 in 1840, 35 in 1850, 46 in 1860, 52 when he married again in 1865). His name was actually Andrew Jackson East, but he always used the name Jackson. We know that he was named after the president because of a deed of sale dated 15 January 1866 between “Andrew J East of the one part and John Hurt of the second part” where Jackson mortgaged some farm animals to secure a debt of $50.

      Jackson married Mary Barber in Pittsylvania Co on 9 January 1836; Jackson’s uncle Ezekiel East provided the marriage bond. She was born in 1814 in Pittsylvania Co, and died in the early 1850s, probably in Pittsylvania Co. In 1840 they lived in a neighborhood of Pittsylvania Co where many other close relatives lived: Shadrack Barber (born 1770s, Jackson’s father-in-law?); Jackson’s first cousin Fanny East, daughter of Joseph East, and her husband Samuel Worsham; Jackson’s uncle Joseph East and Joseph East Jr; Jackson’s first cousin Sally East, daughter of Joseph East, and her husband Daniel Martin. In 1850 Jackson lived close to his widowed mother. His father died in 1849, his mother died in the 1850s, and his wife Mary died in the 1850s, so afterwards Jackson moved to Giles Co, four counties to the northwest (next to the future WV border). After Polly died, he married Anna Dove on 30 April 1865 in Pittsylvania Co. That marriage record showed: Anna was age 33 and Jackson was age 52; this was her first marriage, and Jackson was a widower; both were born in Pittsylvania Co; Jackson’s father was Thomas East and Anna’s mother was Mildred Dove; and the couple were married at the minister’s home in Pittsylvania Co.

      Anna was born in 1828 at Hillgrove, Pittsylvania Co. Jackson died in 1869. He and Mary had two children by 1840, six by 1850, and one more by the time she died in the 1850s. All were born in Pittsylvania Co VA-*

      Jacob East [E4c6c5k1], son of James East and Mary Ann Summers, was born 5 September 1838 in Ripley Co IN. He was James in the 1850 census, in error. Jacob married Mary E Cox on 12 January 1861. She was born 2 January 1842 in IN, daughter of Gasham W Cox and Louella Pickett; Mary died 6 May 1926, probably at her daughter Lorella’s home in Crawford Co where she had been living since Jacob died. She was buried with Jacob. He served in the 14th Indiana Infantry Brigade in the Civil War. He died in Ohio Twp, Crawford Co 5 May 1900 at “age 82" and was buried in East Cemetery at Cape Sandy. When he died, they were living next door to his nephew Joseph W East [E4c6c5k1d] and his brother Isaac East [E4c6c5k2]. Jacob lived in Crawford Co from the 1850s. They had six children-

      Jacob Thomas East [E4c6c5k2d], son of Isaac East and Caroline Batman, was born 15 April 1867 at Cape Sandy in Crawford Co IN. He lived in Ohio Twp in 1910 and was married then to Rovilla F Cox. She was born 8 October 1866 at Cape Sandy, daughter of John H Cox and Cynthia A {Batman}. Rovilla died 10 October 1916 and Thomas then lived with his daughter Edna. Thomas later married Mattie McBurch. She was born 12 August 1869. Thomas died in 1954 at “age 87" per his gravestone. He was buried in East Cemetery at Cape Sandy, as was Rovilla. His gravestone has his first two names as shown here, although over the years he often used the Thomas name. He and Rovilla had just one child-*

1.   Edna F East, b 4 Jan 1890, married Francis E Coleman in 1908 and lived with her parents in 1910. Frank was born in IN on 22 December 1885 of a father born in OH, and died at Carlisle, IN in March 1970. In 1920 Edna’s father lived with her and Frank. Their neighbor four doors away was Isaac East [E4c6c5k2]. In 1930 Edna and Frank lived at Terre Haute where she worked as a waitress and Frank was a carpenter. They had no children. (Z,625uvw,380f)

Living with Thomas in 1910 was his widowed brother-in-law Samuel Cox and Samuel’s daughter Gladys Cox (age 6). He was shown as Thomas East’s brother-in-law. Sam Cox was born 28 November 1875, and was a widow of Druzella B East [E4c6c5k7b]. In 1920 Sam was living in his own home, now married to Elizabeth “Lizzie” N Bryant, his third marriage. They married on 26 May 1912. The daughter Gladys was from his second marriage. His widowed father lived with them in 1920. Sam later had another daughter with Lizzie: Flora B Cox, born in September 1915 in Crawford Co. (W,625rsuvwc)

      Jade Eric East [E4c1a6d1g24a2a], son of Franklin Everet East and Mary Joanne Fraser, was born 16 August 1974 at Thousand Oaks, CA. (RR)

      James East [E4c6a], son of Joseph East and Mary _____ of Louisa Co VA, was probably born in the early 1730s. He was given 5 shillings in his father’s 1868 will. (EL,1083p)

      James East Sr [E14], of Oglethorpe Co GA, was born about 1738 in Hanover Co VA, the part which became Louisa Co in 1742. In 1756 in Lunenburg Co, James East and William Robertson, securities for John East who becomes guardian of Thomas East (IV), orphan of Thomas East (III), who was old enough to choose his guardian (Order Book 4, page 76). John East was the brother to the deceased Thomas (III) and cousin to James East. And again in Lunenburg Co, in 1758, James East was a witness to a deed (Deed Book.5, page 174). And again he was a witness, in 1759 (Deed Book.5, page 9).

      In the late 1750s James married Eussan (Eushan / Ellphan) _____, probably where they lived prior to Henry Co. If she was German it would have been spelled Eüßhan. There have been many spellings of her name on different documents. A James East was mentioned in the 1762 and 1763 court minutes there. Ellphan was also born about 1740, and moved with James to Henry Co and then to GA.

      On 17 March 1777 in Henry Co, James Shelton, Hugh Armstrong, James East and Benjamin Dillion were appointed to view a road from George Rowland's new road to the Horse Pasture at Cogar's Road and make a report. James felt himself exploited by British merchants and hampered by British regulations. As the quarrel with the mother country grew acute, he moderately but firmly voiced his resistance to the restrictions. At age 37 James was a Patriot during the War of the Revolution. He renounced allegiance to great Britain and adhered to the cause of the Colonies, his name is among subscribers to the Oath of Allegiance taken before Edmund Lyne, Esquire, on 30 August 1777, in southern VA. This was a precaution taken by the local authorities with new arrivals to the community during the period of unrest from the Revolution and all men above 16 years, including militiamen, were required by act of the Virginia Assembly in 1777 to take the oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth or leave its borders. They had to take the Oath in order to stay in Virginia in the time of the Revolution. This places the time when James moved to Henry Co.

      Between the summers of 1779 and 1780, James East owned 670 acres along Horsepasture Creek. On 8 March 1783 "James East Sr and his wife Ellphan of the county of Henry" sold 106 acres along {Horsepasture Creek} to Benjamin Kennon for £5. This was land where Kennon was living at the time. Horsepasture Creek runs west of Horse Pasture, VA, southeast of Martinsville. On 8 March 1784 James witnessed the Henry Co sale by John Hardman and his wife Elizabeth of 150 acres on Marrowbone Creek to John Simmons for £50. This land was next to the land of George Hairston; see John East [E1]. This land was also the land formerly bought by Jesse Willingham on 16 March 1778 and a Joseph East witnessed that sale. On 10 March 1785 in Henry Co, John Hardman gave power of attorney to his son William Hardman; James East and William Elkins witnessed this. And on 3 October 1785 "James East Senr and Eusshan his wife of Henry Co" sold 400 acres to John Watson, also of Henry Co. This 400 acres joined land belonging to James and to Watson, and was part of a 670 acre tract granted to James on 11 April 1780. This 400 acres joined Joseph East and Watson’s own line. And on 8 October 1787 in Henry Co (Land Sale, Book 3, Page 362) James East sold to Thomas Jervis for £100, land on both sides Horsepasture Creek, being part of three surveys granted by patent to the said James East in 1780. This land “joins Cannon 210 acres surveyed by Jacob Cox, Dutton Lain's line, 667 acres, Dillen's line, Watson's, it being the same more or less 375 acres.”

      Between November 1785 and September 1787 "James East of Henry Co" appointed James East Sr his lawful attorney to collect money owed James (Junr) from John Watson and Samuel C Morris, due on 1 March 1788. This power of attorney was witnessed by Mary (Edwards) East (James Jr's wife) and Mrs Sarah East Bradbury, wife of Lewis Bradbury. It appears that soon after James Senr sold the 400 acres to Watson, he passed the promissory note to James Junr, his son, and James Junr then gave power of attorney to James Senr to collect the money. Perhaps James Junr was not going to be in the area on collection day. In 1787 James was named on a Henry Co Personal Property tax list owning one horse, but he was not taxed for it; again, this indicates that he may have just recently moved, making the tax non-collectable.

      In the late 1780s James and much of his family moved to Wilkes Co GA, in the northwest corner of the county which became Oglethorpe Co in 1793 (northeast part of GA). 1795 Oglethorpe Co tax records show that James Senr and Junr both lived in Captain Sander’s District. Joseph East lived in Captain Simmons District, in Franklin Co next door to Oglethorpe Co, but Joseph owned land in both counties, which indicates that the East families lived in southern Oglethorpe Co and northern Franklin Co, close to the common border. The 1796 Oglethorpe Co tax list again shows James East Sr, Edmund Edwards (father-in-law of James East Jr), and Isham Davis living there. Isham Davis married Sally Edwards, sister of James East Jr’s wife Mary Edwards. The 1798 Oglethorpe tax list showed James East Sr, James East Jr, Isham Davis all owning land in Hudspeth District (pages 38 to 40); Joseph East was on Tax List (page 45) in Oglethorpe Co. The 1800 tax list did not show James Sr, but did show sons James East Jr and Joseph East.

      James Senr and his wife Eussan had at least seven children-

a.    Joseph East, b 1759 (DM,JE,JY)

b.   Sarah East, b 1760s? (JE,DM)

c.    Robert East (JE,DM)

d.   James East Jr, b abt 1766 (JE,DM)

e.    Mary East (JE)

f.    Jean East (JE)

g.   Elizabeth East (JE) (M92,JE,DM,M16,28z)

Many of the first settlers in Georgia came from North Carolina and Virginia. These early settlers acquired land through two methods. First, the Land Act of 1777 created the “head-right” system that allowed the head of the family to select up to 200 acres of unoccupied land for himself and 50 acres for each family member and slave. Second, those who were loyal during the Revolutionary War or served in the military were given "bounty" land as a method of land disbursement. By 1808, property was also being distributed through land lotteries. (JE)

      James East [E4c3y], parents unknown, owned land in Patrick Co VA on 5 October 1793 when it was described as being at Horse Pasture Creek and next to the 85 acres owned by William Taylor of Stokes Co NC. Taylor sold his land to George Hairston of Henry Co VA (Deed Book 1, Page 133). Since James East owned land in 1793, this would place his birth date at about 1770 or before. Note that Horse Pasture Creek is in western Henry Co, close to thew eastern border of Patrick Co and about 5 miles north of the VA-NC border. Patrick Co was formed out of Henry Co in the early 1790s. (30z)

      James East [E13a1], son of Thomas East and Winnifred Chapman, was born 10 August 1753 in Goochland Co VA. While a resident of Albemarle Co (the part which became Fluvanna Co in 1777) he enlisted and served with the Virginia troops from September 1776 for four months; he hired a substitute to replace him for the remainder of his three year enlistment. After residing for five years in Louisa Co, James moved to Amherst Co (that part which became Nelson Co in 1807) and lived there until 1825 when he moved to Rockbridge Co. In Rockbridge Co he applied for and received a war pension in February 1844.

      James married Martha Clarkson, daughter of David Clarkson and Elizabeth _____, on 9 February 1778 at the home of her brother-in-law John Herndon in Goochland Co. Martha was born in July 1763.

      The Anderson East, son of James and Martha, we so often see in common genealogy records was born in 1790. The Anderson East of Delaware Co IN was born 13 years later, and he definitely had a brother named Morton. But because of the similarity of the names, these two Anderson East men were likely the same person. Martha Clarkson’s father was David Clarkson, and so was her son; that also was a name of Anderson’s son. Another of Anderson’s sons was James East, the same name as Anderson’s father. James East’s father was Thomas East, as was one of Anderson’s sons. The big problem in assuming that the Anderson East of Delaware Co IN is the same person as a son of James and Martha, is that there was no mention in the early research of Anderson’s brother Morton, and also because of the 13 year age difference. The early researchers have shown the birth dates of the many children of James and Martha with just a one or two year spacing, then there is a 6 year gap where Anderson and Morton would fit nicely, and the common records have far too many children. Also, James East, husband of Martha Clarkson, served in the Revolutionary War from Fluvanna Co under Benjamin Anderson. So now we know where that unique Anderson name came from.

      Six of the first birth dates of the eldest children of James and Martha are accurate to the day, as if taken from a bible record. Yet the remaining younger children’s birth dates for the remaining children appear to be guesses, accurate only to the year, if they were accurate at all. Remember that it is likely that records in the family bible were first written around 1800 or a few years later. The bible then would be about 200 years old today, and things get worn out and lost over the years. The birth dates were probably written on two or three pages in an old family bible. It could easily happen that over the years, the second page was lost. Hence, the guessing for the birth dates and missing names of the younger children. Many of the children’s names were taken from pension requests by the children. This, then, would not give us all the names if all children did not request a pension. And Anderson’s birth date was one of those guessed at, and his brother Morton did not care to request a government pension, so his name was missed entirely, especially since he had no heirs to give importance to his records. See the revised list of children of James and Martha below.
