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

      Sarah East [E14b], daughter of James East Sr and Ellphan _____ of Henry Co VA and of Oglethorpe Co GA, was born in the 1760s in VA, probably in Louisa Co since her parents lived in that county in the early 1760s.

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

      Sarah East [E4c1a8], daughter of William East of Charlotte Co VA, was born before 1766. She may have married _____ Hunter by 1785. (JA,3z)

      Sarah East [E4c2a3a], daughter of Josiah East and Rebecca Caldwell of Laurens Co SC, was born about 1768 in VA. She married Benjamin Drake about 1786, probably in Laurens Co. In 1800 there was a Benjamin Drake in Laurens Co twenty doors from William East (the William without the Junr title), but this does not appear to be Sarah’s husband. Benjamin was born in 1760 and died in Abbeville District in 1817; Sarah later married John Smith who was born in SC around 1765. Sarah and Benjamin had seven children; their approximate birth dates are-*

1.   Lucinda Drake, b 1787 (JA,W)

2.   Rebecca Drake, b 1789 (JA,W)

3.   John Drake, b 1791 (W)

4.   Josiah Drake, b 1793 (W)

5.   Langston Drake, b 1795 (W)

6.   Rachel Drake, b 1797 (W)

7.   Franklin Drake, b 1799 (W) (W,M92:12/89,JA)

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

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

1.   boy Ward, b 1811-1820 (646i)

2.   girl Ward, b 1811-1820 (646i)

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

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

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

      Sarah East [E7a6], daughter of Tarlton East Sr and Zilpha Priscilla Walker, was born about 1794 in Laurens Co SC, She moved with her parents to KY then to LA when she was a girl. She married John Lofton in Feliciana (now West Feliciana) Parish LA on 5 February 1810, but in 1820 lived at Richland Creek in Feliciana Parish, in the part which became East Feliciana Parish in 1824. In 1820 they had no children. (MV,404m,104i)

      Sarah “Sally” East [E4c3b1b], daughter of Asa East and Mary ____ of Stokes Co NC, was born in Stokes Co 22 July 1796. She married William James Hiler between 1814 and 1819, probably in Stokes Co NC soon before they moved to KY. After a few years in Simpson Co KY, they moved to Lincoln Co MO via IL, and spent the last years of their lives in Lincoln Co. Their eldest seven children were born in KY, but the 1820 census does not show any Hiler families in Simpson Co where it is known that Sarah’s brothers and father lived for a few years. In the 1830 census of Simpson Co there was a James Hiler living a few doors from Asa and Larkin East; he was the only Hiler in Simpson Co. James Hiler’s family’s ages closely matched the ages of William and Sarah’s children. In the 1850 census (page 456) of Lincoln Co MO and the 1860 census, William’s name does not show a middle initial or name. But the only conclusion we can draw from this is that William’s middle name was James. His son George’s birthplace was given as MO, and he was 12 years old in 1850, indicating that the Hiler families moved to Lincoln Co MO around the mid-1830s. But since they were definitely in Simpson Co KY in 1840, then son George gave MO as his birth place since that was the only childhood memory he had; the family must have moved to Lincoln Co MO in the 1840s via IL, after the census was taken in KY. Sally (Picture) died 21 November 1867 in Lincoln Co. William (Picture) was born about 1797 in VA, and died in the 1860s in Lincoln Co MO. They had about eleven children-

1.   Alec Asa Hiler, b 1819

2.   Henry Hiler, b 26 Oct 1826

3.   Ann Hiler, b 1829

4.   Joseph Hiler, b 5 Sep 1830

5.   boy Hiler, b 1831 to 1835

6.   Elizabeth Jane Hiler, b 1833

7.   boy Hiler, b 1831 to 1835

8.   George Washington Hiler, b 24 Aug 1838

9.   Martha Hiler, b 1841

10. Cordelia Hiler, b 1841

11. Lucinda Hiler, b 1842

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

      Sarah East [E4a2a3a], daughter of Ezekiel East and Elizabeth Worsham, was born about 1798 in Pittsylvania Co VA. she was named after her aunts Sally East and Sally Worsham, sisters of both her parents. On 4 August 1818 she married William Blackwell L Vaughan in Pittsylvania Co. Her father posted the marriage bond. Sarah and William continued to live in Pittsylvania Co, and they had a son within the next 22 months. William was born about 1785 in VA. Zion Church records of the area dated 2 May 1824 state: “Is there any possible case wherein a man can be justified from the scriptures in whipping or chastising his wife with a whip or rod. Answered in the negative. Brother Wm. B. L. Vaughan being guilty of the crime above mentioned in the quary and he being present, left his seat and went off without asking leave, we therefore appoint brother E. Angel and Henry DeJarnett to see him and labour to show him his err and report to our next meeting.” Within the next few years, by 1830, Sarah and William had seven more children. The “brother E. Angel” named above was Ephraim Angel, future father-in-law of Sarah East’s father Eziekel East’s second wife Mary Angel.

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

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

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

He entered as a Private and was discharged as a Private. (CA, 27knqr)

In 1880 Texana was a widow (using the name Sarah) living with her daughter and son-in-law James White. Texana died 3 July 1890 at Salt Lake City, and was buried in SLC Cemetery.

      Shadrack East [E4c2a6], son of William East and _____ Langston of Charlotte Co VA, was born about 1761 in VA, probably in Charlotte Co. He married Mary Hundley in Campbell Co VA on 8 September 1784; she was of age at the time (born by 1763), and the marriage bond was posted by Shadrack East and John Boughton. Shadrack was listed on the 1785 Halifax Co tax list; Halifax Co was where John East and sons John East [E1] and William East [E2] lived during the 1750s-1780s. In 1783, and definitely by 4 April 1788 (Deed Book B, Page 409), Shadrack and Mary had sold his inherited 390 acres and moved to Laurens Co SC, in the north part of the county close to the Enoree River. (His brothers William East Jr and Josiah East also moved to Laurens Co.) According to 1790 census records, Shadrack lived quite a distance from the other East families of the county (see the biography of William East, Shadrack's father), but was just seven doors from William Young, a brother of Nathaniel Young Sr of Spartanburg Co. Shadrack had four children by 1790 (and three slaves), and five children in all. He left a 12 November 1792 will in Laurens Co in which he named his wife Mary (gave to her his "negro wench Milly") and children; Shadrack's brother "William East & James Cook planter" were named as executors of his will; witnesses were Samuel Henderson, William Young of Spartanburg, and Thomas Wadsworth. Shadrack died in 1794 in Laurens Co, and after his death his widow married John Sinclair by 2 June 1814 (Deed Book K, Page 71). John Sinclair died by 3 June 1816, naming his wife Mary as the executor. The children of Shadrack and Mary were-

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

      Shadrack Milton East [E4c1a6d1], son of Thomas East and Mary? _____ of Laurens Co SC, was born in Laurens Co on 20 October 1814. He moved to Giles Co TN with his parents by 1830. About 1834 he married Jane "Jensey" Catherine Warren, daughter of Reuben R Warren of Lauderdale Co AL. Since the pre-1860 marriage records for Giles Co were burned in the Civil War, and since there is no marriage record for Shadrack in neighboring counties, his marriage to Jensey was probably in Giles Co. She was born in TN about 1816. In 1852 Shadrack moved to Lawrence Co AR, and in 1860 they were living in Webster Co MO with their children (see Barzley Graves East [E1b12]). By 1870 he had moved back to Lawrence Co AR. Shadrack died in Lawrence Co on 19 October 1874 and was buried in Powhatan Cemetery in Lawrence Co. Jensey probably died at New Orleans, LA, but was living with her daughter Nancy in 1910 in Lawrence Co. By 1870 they had eleven or twelve children-

      Eliza remarried after Sidney died, to Henry Grant on 20 September 1860 in Greene Co, and had more children. (See Elizabeth Jane East [E4c6c3g7].) Most of Eliza’s East children were living with other relatives in 1870. In 1920 she was living with her son Howard, and was called “mother” on the census, and was age 87; in 1930 she was living with another grandson, Eric Grant (born in 1885) in Murray Twp quite close to Howard B East, and was called “grand-mother.” She was then age 98.

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

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

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

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

b.   Ann East, b 1826-1830

c.    Frances East, b 1826

e.    Silas East, b 1836

f.    Malinda East, b 28 May 1841

g.   William East, b 28 May 1841

h.   Sarah Elizabeth East, b 20 Feb 1844

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

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

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

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

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

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

1.   Permelia Ellen Roark, b 29 Sep 1874

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

      Sixtus East [E1b13k4], son of Thomas Nathaniel East and Ada Johnson, was born and died on 14 August 1895 at Pima, AZ. (NL, EP)

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

      In 1870 Solomon was living in Randolph Co IL with his wife Sarah Jemina Miller. They married in Randolph Co 29 August 1861. Sarah was born in IL 4 April 1844, daughter of John G Miller and Elizabeth Baird, and died at Coulterville, Randolph Co on 23 February 1923.

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

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

b.   Ann Elizabeth Moncus, b 1854

c.    Sarah F Moncus, b 1857

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

      Stansberry East [E7b7d], son of Elisha Lot East and Ann _____, was born in 1839 in Carroll Co MS. (M92)

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

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

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

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

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

      Stephen East [E4c6c5g], son of James East and Lucy English, was born in 1799 in Garrard Co KY. He was found in Wilmington Twp, Dearborn Co IN in 1850 with his family. Dearborn Co is four counties to the east of Lawrence Co. Stephen married first to an unknown wife, had a son, then was married to Jane Spear in Ripley Co IN on 18 January 1828. She was born in PA about 1790 (born 1797 per 1860 census). There are no census records for Stephen East in IN in 1830 and 1840, yet he must have lived there since his children were born in IN. If the 1830 and 1840 census records used a middle name for Stephen, he was still not found. Ripley Co in 1830, where they were married, had two East families: James and Isaac. James was far too old to be Stephen; and Isaac East, though, was the right age and he had two daughters under age five in 1830. In 1840, this Isaac was still in Ripley Co, but he had no sons, yet we know that Stephen did have sons. So Isaac also was not this Stephen. Isaac, actually, was Stephen’s brother.

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

In 1840 Stephen was living in Troup Co GA just across the state line from Chambers Co AL where his father was living in 1840; in Stephen Jr’s home then were himself, no sons, two girls ages 5 to 9, one girl age under 5, and a wife age 30s.

      Susan F East [E4c3b1a13], daughter of Thomas East and Fanny Welty, was born in February 1850 in Lincoln Co MO, and was likely the Susan East, age 12, who in 1860 was living with Zillah East [E4c3b1a5] and her husband John Pointlow. (46nq)

      Susan Frances East [E19a3j], daughter of Benjamin East and Margaret Gregg of Talladega Co AL, was born 25 July 1846 in Talladega Co AL. She either married or died in Randolph Co AL in the 1860s. No marriage record of her was found in Randolph Co. Note: She was not the Susan R who married Henry Clay Knight; that Susan was two years different in age, and was born in GA. (CS,M92,L, 269k, 243n,47q)

      Susan Frances East [E7a5a6], daughter of John East and Frances Collins, was born 24 March 1851 in East Feliciana Parish LA. She married Sylvanus Gerard Miller on 31 January 1870 at home at Clinton, East Feliciana Parish LA. Susan died 3 November 1937 at Mathis, San Patricio Co TX. (W,104q)

      Susan J East [E1b4d5], daughter of Joseph East Jr and Margaret M _____, was born in 1856 in either Maury Co or in Lawrence Co TN. Since she didn’t live with her family in 1870 and would have been of age to be married in the late 1860s, she may have married in Lawrence Co in the 1860s, or died then. (M77, 9s,22qr)

      Susan F East [E4c6c5d4f], daughter of William East and Mary Jane Copenhaver, was born 24 December 1860 in Wayne Co KY, and died 18 January 1878. She was buried in the East family cemetery about 0.4 miles east of Betsey, and years later her parents were buried next to her. (W,125rc)

      Susan L East [E4c6c5d4a5], daughter of George A C East and Sophronia Jackson Dunagan, was born 19 October 1873 in Wayne Co KY. She died 19 March 1904. Susan had married John Freeman {Lovell} on 27 October 1897 and in 1900 they lived next door to her aunt Ellen, widow of Samuel J East [E4c6c5d4h] at Mill Springs. Freeman was born 7 March 1879 in KY, probably a son of Leander W Lovell and Jane Ruth Morgan. John and Susan had a son, then John later married Mary Susan Pierce and lived in Wayne Co, then moved to Lincoln Co by 1920 lived at Waynesburg. John and Mary had at least seven more children. With Susan, John had one son, who was living with John and Mary and seven half-siblings in 1920-*

a.    Laudie Oneal Lovell, b 22 Jul 1898 in Wayne Co KY. In September 1918 he lived at Torrent, Wolfe Co KY (five counties northeast of Wayne Co) and was into oil exploration (he was an oil driller). His father was then living at Frazer, Wayne Co. Laudie married Virgie Wilson in 1919 and they remained in KY until the later 1920s when they moved to Bloomington, Butler Co KS. Laudie was still an oil field worker in 1930. Virgie was from KY, born in 1902 in Wolfe Co, daughter of Sam C Wilson and Lizie J Center. They had three children by early 1930-*

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

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

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

      Susanna Withers East [E1f5], daughter of William East and Sarah Webb, was born about 1813 in Madison Co AL. She was born blind; in 1850 when she was single, living with her nephew Obadiah Gravett [E1f2a], son of Susanna's sister Elizabeth H East. Susan died 16 February 1877 and was buried in the Old Madison Cemetery. On her gravestone it says “Died Feb. 16, 1877 aged 63 years. She was born blind, but now she sees.” (M92,JF,48npc)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

a.    John Trent, b 1826

b.   Sarah Jane Trent, b 1827-1834

c.    Martha M Trent, b 6 Jul 1829

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

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

1.   Mary Jane Girton, b 30 Aug 1836

2.   Rachel Girton, b 15 Apr 1839

3.   William H Girton, b 12 Aug 1840

4.   Martha Ann Girton, b 28 Sep 1841

5.   Emily Girton, b 21 Nov 1842

6.   Felix Allen Girton, b 25 Oct 1844

7.   Amasa Girton, b Feb 1846

8.    Susannah Girton, b 1848

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

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

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

a.    Cynthia A Osborn, b 29 Jan 1850

b.   Mary Frances Osborn, b 8 Dec 1853

c.    Frank Russell Osborn, b 7 Sep 1858

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

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

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

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

b.   Aaron Kingston, b 1869 in Washington Co IL, probably died by 1880. (218r)

c.    Nancy Kingston, b 1870 after May. (218s)

d.   Lucinda Kingston, b 7 Oct 1871, died 20 October 1873 and is buried in Old Salem Cemetery at Lively Grove. (218c)

f.    Minna E Kingston, b 1876 (218s)

g.   Henry E Kingston, b 15 Jun 1878, died 1 April 1879 in Washington Co. He is buried in Old Salem Cemetery at Lively Grove. (218c) (W,218nrsc,565q)

      Susannah A East [E4c3b1g6], daughter of Joseph East and Rebecca Cox, was born in 1868 in Lincoln Co MO. (46rs)

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

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

      Synthia E East [E4c1a6d11a], daughter of Don S F East and Matilda Amack, was born in 1862 in MO. (JA)

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

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

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

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

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

1.   Wm L East, b Mar 1860 (104q)

      T M East [E4c6c3a7c2], son of John R East and P C _____, was born in 1878 in Wise Co TX. (357s)

      Tabitha East [E4c3b1g4], daughter of Joseph East and Rebecca Cox, was born in 1851 in Lincoln Co MO, and was single, living with her father in 1870. (46qr)

      Tabitha Clementine East [E4c6c3g2e], daughter of Sidney East and Eliza Jane Williams, was born 15 August 1856 in Greene Co MO, and died young. (M92, 41nq)

      Talitha East [E?&10] married George Plummer in Lincoln Co MO on 2 February 1854. They were not found in 1860, (46mq)

      Tarlton East [E4c5], son of Edward East Sr of Henrico Co VA, was born in the 1690s-1710s in Henrico Co. There is an 11 February 1763 land grant whereby "Tarleton East" entered 400 acres of land on Buckskin Creek adjoining William East and Cole's property. See William East [E8]. Also, the will of Edward East (EP, 29p)

      Tarlton East Sr [E7a], son of John Thomas East Sr and Mary ____, was born about 1765 in SC. He lived in Laurens Co SC and married Zilpha Priscilla Walker about 1788. Tarlton and Zilpha moved to KY after the 1800 census, but by 1805 since his son Joel was born in KY. Tarlton witnessed the will of James Ingram in 1806/1807 in KY. Zilpha was born about 1771 in GA and died in Copiah Co MS in 1823. She was living in Feliciana Parish LA in 1820 in the Richland Creek area in the community where many of her children and grandchildren then lived; see the Note following granddaughter Mary East [E7a3i]. Tarlton and Zilpha came from KY via the Mississippi River to Natchez, and then six miles north to Clinton, East Feliciana Parish LA, in the spring of 1809. He died in Feliciana Par LA on 18 March 1815 and was buried in Rehobeth Church Cemetery, Copiah Co. They had about twelve children-

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

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

3.   John East, b 18 Dec 1791

4.   Mary East, b 1790s

10. James Joel East, b 24 Jun 1802

11. Joel Walker East, b 22 Jan 1805

12  William East, b 4 Jul 1806

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

Note: There were no East names in MS in 1820. In MS in 1830, there were eight families with the East name, and all of them were in four southwestern counties of the state: five families in Copiah Co, but in two areas of the county, and one each in Franklin, Rankin, and Wilkinson Counties. Of the East names in Copiah Co, these appear to be Tarlton’s brother Thomas East [E7b] or sons of this brother, with one exception- Tarlton East on census page 126 was a son of Tarlton Sr. That Tarlton East (Jr) was born in the 1790s; Thomas East [E7b] also had a son named Tarlton, but Thomas’ son Tarlton was born in 1817. In 1820 these East families were in just one LA parish: Feliciana Parish, but in two areas of that parish. Josiah East, a son of Thomas East [E7b], was in the Beaver Creek area, while Isaac, John, Priscilla (widow of Tarlton Sr), and Thomas East were all grouped together in the Richland Creek area in the east part of Feliciana Parish. When Feliciana Parish was divided in 1824 into East and West Feliciana Parishes, Beaver Creek and Richland went into East Feliciana Parish. This parish is just south of the southwestern tip of MS. Hence, it was an easy move to the north to populate the southwestern MS counties.

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

      Tarlton East Jr [E7a9], son of Tarlton East Sr and Zilpha Priscilla Walker, was born 11 October 1799 and died 30 June 1831. Family records show he died 30 June 1821, but the “2" in the records must be a “3" and hence he must have died in 1831; he was in the 1830 census of Copiah Co MS, born in the 1790s, and apparently married to a woman who was then in her 20s. There were only three people in his home. They had a daughter-

a.    girl East, b 1826-1830 (37j) (MV,104i,37j)

      Tarlton East [E7a3d], son of John East and Zilpha Chance, was born 15 March 1817 in Feliciana Parish LA (in the part which became East Feliciana Parish in 1824). He married Mary L _____ in 1844 and lived in Attala Co MS at first, then in Caldwell Parish LA. Mary was born in MS in 1826. They moved to Harrison Co TX in the 1860s, after their seventh child was born. In 1880 they were in Panola Co; both Panola and Harrison Counties are at the eastern edge of TX with LA at their eastern border. Tarlton and Mary were not found in TX in 1900, so had probably died by then, in Panola Co. They had seven children-

1.   Margaret B East, b 1845

2.   Mary Jane East, b 1847

3.   Martha Ellen East, b 1849

4.   Cathe A East, b 1854

5.   Malicea E East, b 1857

6.   Rufus K T East, b 10 Jan 1860

7.   Eric East, b 1862 in LA

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

      Tarlton East [E7a10b], son of James Joel East and Elizabeth Smith, was born in 1828 in Rankin Co MS. (W,MSj,385n)

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

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

      Theresa Ann East [E4c1a6d1g19e1], daughter of Vester Doyle East and Frances Mae Greer, was born 29 February 1956. She married Frank Gordon. (RR,N)

      Thomas East [E24a], probably a son of immigrant William East, was born by 1620. He lived in Charles City Co VA in 1642, probably just east of Captain Joseph Johnson and close to Richard Williams, and on the south side of the James River. Charles City Co and Henrico Co are neighboring original counties.

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

1.   Jane East, b p1638 (M92,M13,JY)

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

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

      On 10 June 1690 Thomas East Sr, “for love and affection to my son Thomas East Jr and to Mavel East, my daughter,” gave farm animals and a gun to Thomas Jr and to Mavel he gave 1/5 of a tract of land “taken up by me, Robert Woodson Sr, John Woodson, William Porter and Robert Clark, 106 acres, on south side of White Oak Swamp” plus farm animals. In this gift, Thomas also said that his daughter Mavel had married John Robinson and they then lived on that land. Daughter Mavel and son Thomas must have been age 18 or older by then; son Thomas was probably age 21 or older. Then on 27 November 1796 Thomas gave “for love and affection” land bounded by Western Run and next to William Porter Sr, in a separate gift to his two sons Edward East and Thomas East. So this gift then completed the gifts of land to three children, and since Mavel was the first daughter to receive, she was likely the eldest girl. In later court records dated 8 March 1796, “Dorothy East, wife of Thomas,” relinquished her dower rights to the land gifts by Thomas Sr to their two sons. And on 29 March 700 Robert Green, a miller of Henrico Co sold to “Thomas East Sr of same, planter,” 275 acres on the n orth side of James River and bounded by Samuel Bridgewater, for 2,500 pounds of tobacco. This was land which Green purchased from Thomas Cardwell on 18 December 1691. On 29 March 1701 Thomas purchased another 275 acres of this land from Green for the same price. But on 27 October 1703 Thomas sold this prior 275 acres back to Green. In these deed records, Thomas “signed” his name with a mark which looked like the capital letters E and T on top of each other. And the last record of Thomas, before his will was entered into probate, was dated in May 1726 when he gave to “my soin Edward East, for his care in managing my plantation, 2 negroes, a man Jack, and woman Tabb.” Thomas again used his E mark to sign this record.

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

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

a.    Thomas East Jr, b abt 1667

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

c.    Edward East Sr, b abt 1670

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

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

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

I make and ordain my Daughter Elizabeth Allday my Sole Executrix in wittness whereof I have here unto sett my hand and seal this 6th day of July 1711 Signed Sealed and published in pressents of Chas Ballows Mary M Hardin.. her marke Anne X Perrin.

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

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

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

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

1.   John East, b abt 1695

2.   Thomas East III, b bef 1696

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

      Thomas East (III) [E4a2], son of Thomas East Jr, was born before 1696 in Henrico Co VA. He married, but his wife’s name may never be known because of the destruction of Virginia records in three wars and court house fires before 1865. Thomas East was first found on a deed record dated 7 September 1730 when William Porter of Henrico Co sold land on the north side of James River to Francis Garthright of Henrico Co; the land was described as being “next to Thomas East.” Since the parents of Thomas East (III) had moved to Hanover Co at least two years prior and his grandfather Thomas East Sr had been dead for nearly four years, then Thomas East (III) was the only Thomas East in the area. He died around 1756 when his son Thomas East, aged 15 years or more, and less than 21 years, was in Lunenburg county, VA in 1756. At the February court of that county he appeared as the orphan of Thomas East, deceased, and chose John East for his guardian. James East and William Robertson became sureties for John East. The residence of the guardian and his sureties was not stated. The relationship of the orphan to John East to James East was not stated. It is known, however, that John East was indeed the brother of Thomas III as well as James being the cousin of Thomas.

      Thomas had a son-

a.    Thomas East (IV), b abt 1737 (JE,29z)

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

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

      There was another will written in Surry Co, by David Melton on 21 February 1787 in which David’s wife Connie and Thomas East were to be executors. David Melton died by the following April. He named adult sons John and David Melton.

      The 1790 Stokes Co NC census shows the neighborhood of the East families. There were Thomas East with two boys under age 16, two females, and eight slaves. Since this Thomas was the only Thomas East shown and since he owned eight slaves, then he must have been quite well off and therefore Thomas East Senr. Nearby was William Venable (husband or father-in-law of Ursula East), Joseph East with five daughters and two sons, Isham East with one slave and five sons, and next door to Isham was William East with a large family, and two doors away was John Venable, brother-in-law of Ursula East who married William Venable. Because Thomas Sr was born about 1828, he very likely had children born before the 1770s, and perhaps was married twice.

      It is thought that Thomas East and William East were brothers and that they were the sons of Isham East, son of Edward. Isham East, Senior had left Charlotte County, Virginia by November, 1769 when Tarlton East, Constable, was sent to call him into court. He has not been located afterwards unless he is the Isham East in Laurens County, South Carolina in 1790. Several East families moved there from Halifax about 1778 and Isham East received a grant of land in Laurens County in 1786. The Joseph found in the Surry County records could be another brother to Thomas and William but the research is still in progress on him.

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

1.   Asa East, b abt 1775 in Surry Co, NC. Asa married Mary _____ by 1800 and lived in Stokes Co in 1800 with two sons and one daughter. In 1821 Asa transferred a deed in Stokes Co to Clisby Roberson. Asa and many (all?) of his children moved to Simpson Co KY and to Lincoln Co MO by 1830 and 1840. See his biography at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~eazier1/East/. (76aey)

2.   Polly East, born pre-1790. There was a marriage in Stokes Co on 10 February 1806 between Polly East and Henry Mosley, and the marriage bond was supplied by Asa East. Therefore, it is here assumed that Asa was one of the two sons of Thomas East Sr who were shown in the 1790 census, and Polly East was the only known daughter. (76am)

3.   John H East, b 28 Jul 1779, lived in Surry Co in 1810. (He is not to be confused with John East, born 1782, son of Isham East, and who lived in Stokes Co in 1820). (76a) (JA,76a,240p)

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

1.   James East, b 10 Aug 1753

2.   Martha East(?)

3.   Ben East(?) (M90,M92,M94,EL)

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

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

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

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

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

1.   Sally East, b 1772

2.   Thomas East, b 1773

3.   Ezekiel East, 1773

4.   Isaac East, b 1776

5.   William East, b bef 1777 (1776?)

6.   John East, b bef 1776

7.   Joseph East, b 1781

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

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

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

a.    Catherine East, b abt 1765

b.   Laura Elizabeth East, b 1767

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

d.   girl East, b 1766-1775 in NC. She was not actually named in her father’s 1807 will, but her husband and son Thomas were. Perhaps this daughter had died by 1807. She married Abel Edwards by 1800 and in 1810 lived seven doors from Thomas East (Jr) in Stokes Co NC. Abel was probably a son of Edward Edwards. See the following note. Abel’s birth date was 1775 or before. Ms East and Abel lived next to her father in 1807. They had seven children by 1810-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Thomas East Sr [E7] of Laurens Co SC, was born by 1745. married Mary _____ and lived in Berkeley Co SC in the 1780s, and in Laurens Co SC in the 1790s. His name was John Thomas East, but he often used his middle name. See John Thomas East [E7].

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

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

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

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

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

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

1.   William East, b 29 Jun 1791

2.   Elizabeth East, b 26 August 1792

3.   Joseph East, b 5 Jan 1794

      Thomas East Jr [E4c3a2e], son of Thomas East Sr and Mary _____, was born about 1775 (age 16 to 25 in 1800) in VA (birth place according to his daughter Ann in 1880). Soon before 1800 Thomas married a woman born between 1776 and 1794 in PA (birth place per daughter Ann). Thomas Jr was left 400 acres in his father’s 1807 will. He married Anna Maria Hauser in Stokes Co NC in December 1799. Thomas had one son by 1800 and about eleven children by 1820. In 1840 he was still living in Stokes Co, and was born in the 1770s (age in his 50s). Thomas’ wife was the same approximate age. Anna was a daughter of George Hauser Jr and Magdalene Shore, In his home then was one young teenage boy and a girl under the age of 10. Therefore most of his children had by then grown and left home (or died). Thomas’ children were-*

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

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

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

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

      Thomas East Jr [E7b], son of John Thomas East Sr of Laurens Co SC, was born 15 January 1771. Census records of Laurens Co and of counties in southwest MS indicate that Thomas married in the 1790s to someone born in the early 1780s. She was Nancy Caldwell.

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

      Thomas and family lived in East Feliciana Parish, LA in the 1810s, then moved to Copiah and Franklin Counties MS in the 1820s, by 1826; there is an 1826 East Feliciana (deed?) record which mentioned "Thomas East and wife Nancy East of Copiah Co MS, formerly of East Feliciana Parish, LA." See the Note following the biography of Tarlton East Sr [E7a]. During the 1830s he moved back to LA where he died on 10 June 1840. Nancy was listed as the head of her household in Feliciana Parish in 1840. Thomas and Nancy had a large family of ten children-

1.   Josiah East, b 1797

2.   James East, b 1800

3.   William East, b abt 1802

4.   Rebecca East, b 1805-1810

5.   Mary East, b 1805-1810

6.   Langston East, b 1810

7.   Elisha Lot East, b 1812

8.   Nancy East, b 23 Mar 1815

9.   Tarlton East, b 1817

10. Thomas G East, b 1818 (M92,3ehi,37jm,104in)

      Thomas East [E4a2a2], son of Thomas East and Obedience _____ of Pittsylvania Co VA, was born about 1773 in Pittsylvania Co VA. He married Mildred Timberlake in Campbell Co on or a few days after 19 October 1795. She was not of age at the time since her father Charles Timberlake had to give his consent. Therefore, Mildred was probably born in the late 1770s. The 1850 census shows that she was born in 1778. Their marriage bond was posted by Publius Jones and by Thomas East. Mildred’s name was found on a land purchase between Thomas and his brother Ezekiel: On 19 October 1805 “Thomas and Mildred East his wife of Pittsylvania County of the one party” sold to “Ezekiel East of the same of the other party” 24 acres along the bank of the Staunton River in Pittsylvania Co for £25 Virginia money. The sale was signed by Thomas East and Mildred East.

      The names of the children of Thomas and his wife Mildred were largely determined from census records, and from where young adult East people lived in relation to where Thomas and Mildred lived. Since Thomas’ brothers also had children during the 1795-1825 years, any family records of the descendants of Thomas’ siblings which stated that an East person from Pittsylvania Co and born in the 1795-1825 years belonged to one of Thomas’ siblings, that record was assumed to be correct. Therefore, the remaining unaccounted for East person found on census and marriage records was assumed to be a child of Thomas and Mildred if the birth year matched the 1820 to 1840 census records of the inhabitants of Thomas’ household. Using this “best fit” method, we have one son who may be suspect: John East, born about 1830 and living with Elizabeth Louise East, wife of William Burnett Jr, a daughter of Thomas East’s brother Joseph. This John East was born in a year which makes him a bit too young to be a likely son of the wives of brothers Thomas, Ezekiel, or Joseph East. If he was a son of one of these three brothers, he would have been born when Thomas’ wife Mildred was age 52, or when Ezekiel’s wife Elizabeth Worsham was age 54, or when Joseph’s wife Mary Bell was age 57. But if the 1850 census, which showed his age to be 20 was incorrect, then this John East would have likely been a son of Thomas and Mildred. Thomas, Joseph, and Ezekiel had another brother, Isaac East, who had lived in Pittsylvania Co years before, but who had moved to Adams Co OH in 1810, long before the unidentified John East was born.

      The only census years we have to work with to determine Thomas’ children’s birth years are the 1820 and 1840 censuses; Thomas and his brother Joseph were skipped in the 1830 census, as were many of their close neighbors, so we are at a loss to learn what those records can tell us. And because the 1810 VA census lost, we can’t use that.

      Thomas and his ten children then living at home, with their birth years shown by the census, were in Pittsylvania Co in 1820 (page 75) are as follows, with the probable children given who fit the birth years of the children from the 1820 census:

Thomas East, born before 1775

wife b 1776-1794 / Mildred Timberlake East, born 1778

dau, b 1795-1804 / Philida East, b 1799, md in 1824

dau, b 1811-1820

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Thomas (Sr) died in Pittsylvania Co in October 1749 at age 76 (per 1850 mortality schedule) and his wife Milly was found there in 1850, age 72, living with Mary East, probably a daughter-in-law, age 40, and next to Mrs Nancy Worsham, age 45, and Mrs Clara East (probably a widow), age 44. Thomas and Mildred had at least ten children, all born in Pittsylvania Co VA-

a.    Philida East, b 1799

b.    girl East, b 1796-1804, probably died in the 1820s. There was no marriage record found for her. (27i)

c.    Asa East, b abt 1804

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

      1.    William East, b 1832 (27kn)

      2.    Fayette East, b 1834 (27kn)

      3.    Elizabeth East, b 1838 (27kn)

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

e.    Thomas C East, b 1809

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

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

      2.    Philip East, b 1844 (27n)

      3.    Eliza East, b 1846 (27n)

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

g.    Andrew Jackson East, b 1813

h.    girl East, b 1811-1820 (27i)

i.    girl East, b 1811-1820 (27i)

j.    John Leland East, b 1820 (M90,M94,NL, EL,25m,27ikn)

The {East marriages} in Pittsylvania Co in the 1811 to 1850 years must have been either children of Thomas East or his two brothers Ezekiel East and / or Joseph East.

      Thomas East [E4c1a6d], son of Shadrack East and Mary Hundley, was born in 1790 in Laurens Co SC. By 1813 Thomas was married, and on 10 May 1814 he sold 15 acres, part of an original grant to John Hunter and conveyed to Shadrack East (Book K, Page 64). This was land bordered by Daniel Ravenal, Joseph Wilson, William Dunlap, and other land held by Thomas East. Thomas was probably not living away from his mother's home by 1810 since there were no heads of the family named Thomas East at the time, but by 1820 Thomas had left the state and moved to TN. By 1830 he was living in Giles Co. He married Nancy Ann _____, his second wife; his first wife may have been Mary _____ (Monroe?), married in the early 1810s. Thomas and Nancy lived in Giles Co for at least twenty years where they raised their children. Nancy was born in TN about 1801 (SC per 1850 census). In 1860 she was living with her granddaughter Martha in Webster Co MO, next door to her (step?) son Shadrack. Thomas was in Lawrence Co AR in 1852 when he and Shadrack East rented land there. He was involved in a lawsuit with James R Taylor in 1855. Thomas died in the 1850s, probably in Lawrence Co. His known children were-

1.    Shadrack Milton East, b 20 Oct 1814

2.    Martha H East, b 1816

3.    Susan Bazel East, b 1818

4.    Robert A East, b 1820

5.    girl East, b abt 1822

6.    Margaret Catherine East, b 1825

7.    Eliza Jane East, b abt 1827

8.    girl East, b abt 1832

9.    girl East, b abt 1834

10.  Nancy E East, b 11 Jan 1836

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

      Thomas East [E7a5], son of Tarlton East Sr and Zilpha Priscilla Walker, was born 14 April 1793 in Laurens Co SC, grew up there and in KY, and married Mary Day on 20 August 1812 in Amite Co MS. She was born in 1792 in GA, daughter of Jonathon Day and _____ Trice. Thomas died 14 February 1815 in Feleciana Parish LA. After he died, Mary married John H Shropshire in Amite Co on 15 December 1816. Thomas and Mary had a son-

a.    John East, b 4 Dec 1812

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

      Thomas East [E4c3b1a], son of Asa East and Mary _____ of Stokes Co NC, was born in Stokes Co in 1794. He apparently married twice, and neither wife was alive by 1850. The second wife was Fanny Welty and likely married Thomas after the second daughter was born. Fanny was born about 1805, daughter of Abraham Welty and Mary Roland, and died in Lincoln Co by 1850, probably at the birth of their youngest child. Since Abraham Welty was living in Simpson Co KY in 1820, and then in Lincoln Co MO in 1830, and since these are the counties where Thomas’ siblings also lived, then it’s probable that Thomas and Fanny married in either of those two counties. Since the marriage records of Lincoln Co still exist and there is no records there of Thomas and Fanny’s marriage, then they must have married in Simpson Co, and then moved on to Lincoln Co soon after. They arrived in Lincoln Co by 1826. Thomas had three children by 1830, nine children by 1840, and thirteen by 1850, all but the eldest two were born in Lincoln Co MO-

1.    Frances East, b 1820

2.    Mary East, b 1825

3.    Elizabeth A East, b 1829

4.    boy East, b 1831-1835 was not with the family in the 1850 census, so had died in the 1840s, or married soon before 1850. (46kn)

5.    Zillah East, b 1832

6.    Sally Ann East, b 1834

7.    Elisha Welty East, b 1837

8.    girl East, b 1836-1840 was not with the family in the 1850 census, so had died in the 1840s. (46kn)

9.    Rachel East, b 1839

10.  John East, b 11 Jun 1841

11.  Thomas B East, b 1843

12.  Richard H East, b 1846

13.  Susan F East, b Feb 1850

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

In 1840 Thomas’s parents-in-law lived in Bedford Twp not too far from Thomas’ brother Larkin East [E4c3b1c] and Thomas East. (L,M92:5/87, M29,76eh,46jkn)

      Thomas East [E4b2a5a], son of William East and Rhoda Clark, was born in 1803 in Charlotte Co VA. He married Mary Roach in Charlotte Co on 1 October 1827. In 1830 he and his wife lived next door to John W Roach, who was in his late 30s in age. Thomas East’s age was in the 20s, so in combination with the 1820 census, he would be in his late 20s. Mary was in her teens, so the neighbor John W Roach from the 1830 census could have been her father, even if she was 18 or 19 in 1830. They had no children by the summer of 1830. Mary was born in 1813, so was age 14 or so when she married Thomas. He was age 47 in 1850. In 1840 in their home in Charlotte Co was a teenage girl born between 1821 and 1830, plus a daughter-

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

2.    Priscilla East, b 1836 (24kn)

There is a marriage record in Charlotte Co for a Mary C East on 21 April 1855 with William B Davidson. The bondsman was her father. Since Mary C was not shown in the household of Thomas East [E4b2a5a] in 1850, the father / bondsman Thomas East must be another person. But in 1860, living at Richmond, Henrico Co, was 36 year old William B Davidson and his 25 year old wife Mary P (Priscilla?) Davidson. At that time there were three Davidson children; two were of ages which matched Mary P’s marriage date. They were living in a boarding house; William was a salesman. Thomas East was not found. In 1870 W B and Mary P East were still living at Richmond (now was a City-County), but he was a “city collector” (tax collector?). There were also three daughters at home. (24imjkn)

      Thomas East [E4b2a7a], son of Joseph East and Mary Bell, was born 25 December 1803 in Pittsylvania Co VA. He married Elizabeth West on 23 December 1828 in Pittsylvania Co. She was born about 1810 in Pittsylvania Co, daughter of Joseph West and Catherine McHaney. They started their marriage living in Pittsylvania Co, but in 1840 were living in Campbell Co, then back in Pittsylvania Co in 1850. In 1860 and 1870 they were in Tazewell Co. They had twelve children, all born in the two first named counties-

1.    John Owen East, b 20 Sep 1829

2.    Ellick East, b 1831 in Pittsylvania Co VA. (25k,27kn)

3.    Ann East, b 1833 in Pittsylvania Co VA. (25k)

4.    Jane East, b 1835 (25k)

5.    William T East, b 1837

6.    Mary East, b 1839 in Campbell Co (age 20 in 1860, 29 in 1870). She had not married by 1870. (25k,720qr)

7.    Frances East, b 1841 in Campbell Co (age 17 in 1860, 26 in 1870). (720qr)

8.    Thomas East, b 1843 (720q)

12.  Charles East, b 1851 in Pittsylvania Co but greew up in Tazewell Co. (720qr)

Tazewell Co VA is about five counties west of Pittsylvania Co, and just south of the most southern county of WV. (L,EL,27mjn,25k, 720qr)

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

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

a.    Elizabeth Jane East, b 4 May 1834

b.    Thomas East Jr, b 18 Sep 1835

c.    William East, b 21 Sep 1838

d.    Mary Anne East, b 17 Jun 1841

g.    Harriette E East, b 7 Aug 1850 (EE,EP, 50nqr)

      Thomas East [E4b2a4h], second son of that name of Isaac East and Joyce Pemberton, was born 24 April 1813 at Locust Grove in Adams Co OH and grew up there. He married Priscilla McCracken on 17 November 1833 in Adams Co. Priscilla was born 5 May 1817 in Adams Co, daughter of Henry McCracken and Ann Holman from PA. Thomas and Priscilla, in late 1851, moved to Taylorville, Christian Co IL and purchased a farm 2.5 miles west of town. During the next few years he moved to and purchased newer farmland nearby, then in the summer of 1864 he settled on an 80 acre farm south of Milmine, Piatt Co. Thomas East was a good cabinet maker and plied this craft to enlarge his income. He died 28 September 1864 at Milmine.

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

1.    Isabel M East, b 26 Dec 1834

2.    William Henry East, b 27 Dec 1836

3.    Ann D East, b 7 Oct 1838

4.    John Leander East, b 3 Nov 1840

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

Living next door to Thomas and Priscilla in 1850 was “Jos East” who was age 70, and born in VA (in 1780). Since we know that Thomas’ father was born in 1776 and died in Adams Co OH in 1830, then this elder East man may be an uncle. There was one other East family in Adams Co in 1850: Elizabeth “Betsy” East, age 46, widow of Asa East [E4b2a2c] (Thomas’ first cousin), and her three children John, Asa M, and Sarah, ages 20 to 10; all were born in Pittsylvania Co VA and lived at Bentonville in Adams Co.

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

Death of Mrs. Priscilla East.

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

Another Obituary was:

Buried in Decatur

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

      Thomas East [E4c3x5], parents unknown, was born in 1815 in VA. He married Ms Jeston Cloud in Patrick Co VA on 26 December 1843. The marriage surety was Samuel G Staples and the minister was Joshua Adams. The old records are often hard to read, but this couple appears to be the Thomas East and wife Jestin who lived in nearby Henry Co in 1850 and 1860. They had three children by 1850 who were born after this 1843 marriage date. All were born in in VA: Jestin was born in 1810 (age 40 in 1850, 30 in 1860, 45 in 1870, 50 in 1880), and it appears that Jestin was married before to a Mr Johnston because there were two Johnston children living with them in 1850: these two Johnston children were John H, born in 1840, and William, born in 1842. In 1870 Thomas and Jestin lived in Roanoke Co at Cave Spring; in 1880 they were in Sullivan Co TN. Their East children were all born in Henry Co VA-*

1.    William Martin East, b 1845 (28nq,370r)

2.    James D East, b 1846 (28nq)

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

4.    Robert W East, b 1850 (28q,370r)

5.    Lucy East, b 1852 (28q,370r)

6.    Lilburn East, b 1854, lived with his brother George in Sullivan Co TN in 1880. (28q,370r,724s)

7.    Edwin East, b 1856 (28q,370r)

8.    Sallie East, b 10 Dec 1860, lived with her brother George in Sullivan Co TN in 1880. (W,370r,724s)

9.    Columbia East, b 1864, lived with her brother George in Sullivan Co TN in 1880. (370r,724s) (30m,28nq,370r,724s)

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

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

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

1.    Sarah J East, b 1839

2.    Alexander S East, b 12 Feb 1842

3.    R E East, b 12 Aug 1844

4.    Henry T East, b Aug 1849

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

      Thomas East [E4c3a3b9], son of Joseph Isham East and Elizabeth Fitpatrick, was born between 1816 and 1820 in Smith Co TN, and died in 1839 or 1840. (MV)

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

There was only one Jordan / Jourdan family in Smith Co in 1850, and that couple was of Mary Catherine’s age; her parents were not there, so apparently she was from another county. They lived for a while at Carthage, but soon after the summer of 1853 they moved southeast back to Roane (now Cumberland) Co, locating at Winton Chapel. Cumberland Co was created from neighboring counties in 1856. By 1870 they had moved again, probably just a short distance to the east, to another part of Roane Co near Eagle Furnace.
