William East [E24] came from London, England to VA on the ship Paule, arriving on 6 July 1635. He was 23 years old at the time, being born about 1612. William apparently settled in Lower Norfolk Co (southeast VA; this county name no longer exists) because he owned land bordered on the north by Edward Windham. On 1 July 1643 Windham sold his land to James Sterling and William East's land was mentioned as bordering the land being sold.

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

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

a.    Thomas East, b bef 1620? (M88,M92,M13,JY)

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

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

      William East [E4c2], son of Edward East Sr of Henrico Co VA and his wife Elizabeth, was born in the 1690s-1710s years in Henrico Co. He was a member of Henrico County Parish. By 31 March 1748 he owned 400 acres on Ellis Creek in VA next to the 400 acres held by his son. This was apparently the same William, or his son, mentioned in the 11 February 1763 land grant of Tarlton East [E4c5]. William married and had at least one son-

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

      William East [E4c2a], son of William East, was born by the 1720s. He married Ms _____ (Langston?, daughter of John Langston), lived in VA (Augusta Co? see Josiah East [E4c1a3]), and died in Charlotte Co in 1767; he left a 9 July 1766 will in Charlotte Co. His wife died prior to 1766. They had eight children-

1.   William East, b abt 1745

2.   Mary East, b bef 1751

3.   Josiah East, b abt 1750

4.   Keziah East, b bef 1760

8.   Sarah East, b bef 1766 (JA,24p,26m)

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

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

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

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

1.   Joseph Cannon East, b 7 Jul 1744. See his biography.

2.   Thomas East, b abt 1746, is assumed to be a son of William and Mary because he lived in Surry and Stokes Co NC close to the East families whom we know were children and descendants of William East and Mary Cannon. There were no other nearby East families who this Thomas could have been closely related to. In addition, it would be very unlikely that William and Mary would have an eleven year gap between children Joseph and Isham. If this Thomas East Sr was not a son of William and Mary, then he must have been a nephew or brother. 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. 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. See more information under Thomas’ biography. (W,M61,JY, 76aep)

7.   Elizabeth East, b abt 1774

8.   Martha East, b Feb 1777

9.   Sarah East, b abt 1780

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

11. Frances East, b abt 1785

12. Mary East, b abt 1786

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

      William East [E4c2a1], son of William East and _____ Langston of Charlotte Co VA, was born about 1745, probably in VA. He moved to Laurens Co SC by 5 February 1785 where he witnessed a land sale (see Josiah East [E4c1a3]). On a 24 October 1786 deed in Laurens Co (Book B, Page 140) he was listed as a neighbor of Samuel Henderson and wife Mary Ann _____, living along Little River. On 4 April 1788 Luke Waldroop and wife Mary sold 130 acres on Little River to William East Junior, land originally granted 3 October 1785; witnesses to this sale were Shadrack East and William East. Of William's brothers Josiah and Shadrack, the names of the sons of Shadrack and Josiah are known. Thus only William [E4c1a1] could have had a son named William Junior.

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

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

a.    William East Jr, b by 1767

b.    girl East, b bef 1790 (JA,3a)

      William East, parents unknown, married Sally Webb and they lived in Henry Co VA in 1840 and 1850 (in 1850, census page 49, family #672). Sally was born in VA in 1780. Living next door to them in 1850 was John East, born in 1813. In 1840 in William’s home were many people, and five were under age 5. Since William and Mary, in 1840, were in their late 50s, then the youngest family members were probably grandchildren-*

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

      On 22 October 1811 "William East Senior" sold 140 acres to Alexander Glenn, land bordered by Glenn, John Sinclair, and Joseph Wilson (Book J, Page 258); William's wife Lucy _____ was also named in this sale. Since William's father was probably dead by this time, William had become a "Senior" because of a much younger "William East Junior." This 140 acres was originally granted to Michael Wilson and later conveyed to William East, presumably William East [E4c1a1]. In 1820 William was found living close to another younger William East, not likely a son. The younger William East was under age 16 in 1790, and was the head of his home; his father had apparently died. Because of the ages of both William East men in 1820 (both over age 44). it appears that William Sr married a second time around 1800; his children were-*

1.    boy East

2.    boy East, b 1795-1804 (3i)

3.    girl East, b 1795-1804 (3i)

4.    boy East, b 1802-1804 (3i)

5.    girl East, b 1805-1810 (3i)

6.    boy East, b 185-1810 (3i)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1.    Mary C East, b abt 1802

      William East [E4b2a5], son of Thomas East and Obedience _____ of Pittsylvania Co VA, was born by 1777 in Pittsylvania Co. He married Rhoda Clark on 6 January 1801 in Charlotte Co. Their marriage record show that her father was Isaac Clark and William’s parents were Thomas East and Obedience. On 17 June 1807 William sold to Grief and Claiborne Barksdale two Negroes -- one named Fanny, who was in Charlotte Co in possession of John Stewart, and a girl named Chany. The consideration was £50. In Charlotte Co in 1810 there were no East families shown in the census at all. The only William East families shown in the 1810 census in the country were both in Laurens Co SC. And neither of them was the William who married Rhoda for two reasons: to move to SC after their marriage, then back to Charlotte Co by 1820 was unlikely because of the distance; neither of the two William East families in Laurens Co in 1810 had children of ages typical of what a couple in their 30s would have had after nine years of marriage, or didn’t have a wife old enough to be of age to marry in 1801. Hence, it can be assumed that the census taker missed the only East family in Charlotte Co in 1810. But in 1820 they were shown, and had seven or eight children, which would have been normal for a couple married for 19 years; the first and second boy may be the same person, because of the ability for a teenage boy to be included in two different age groups of the 1820 census. In addition, by 1820 their children were reaching the marriageable age. So a check of the Charlotte Co marriage records from 1817 to the mid-1840s revealed at least seven East marriages, starting in 1824. Since William and Rhoda were the only East family in the county, then it can safely be assumed that all these marriages were for their children. And we can be fairly sure that this 1820 William was the one married to Rhoda Clark because in Charlotte Co in 1810 and in 1820 there were many Clark families of Rhoda’s age (her brothers?) and an older Edith Clark (widow of Isaac?). Charlotte Co was definitely a Clark family county.

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

      William East was born in VA in 1782 and was a farmer living in Henry Co in 1850 with his wife Sally _____. She was born in VA in 1780. They married in Henry Co on 23 February 1807 and lived next door to John East. They had an apparent daughter living with them in 1850; 1830 and 1840 census records indicate there were other children- *

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

William married Dixie Owen from McKinney, Collin Co TX in 1894 and it was the second marriage for both. She was born 2 August 1861 in KY. They had no children. (1171n 121q,,384PNruvwf)

Mary Ann and Elisha lived with his siblings in 1850 in Murray Co. Elisha was born in 1824 in GA. In 1860 they were in Whitfield Co GA. She died in the 1860s and Elisha married again to Mary L McLain in Whitfield Co on 22 March 1861, then lived in Murray Co and had three more children by 1870. Mary’s children were-*

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

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

      William East [E13a1h], son of James East and Martha Clarkson, was born about 1792 in VA, probably in Nelson Co. (M92,L)

      William East [E7c1], probably a son of William East [E7c] who lived in Laurens Co SC in 1810, was born 5 September 1795 in SC and lived in Laurens Co. In 1810 in Laurens Co there were William East and Joel East living next to each other, in a neighborhood with Jones, Crawford, Gray Corley Couch, Templeton, Smith, and Stiles families nearby. Both the elder William and Joel East were born between 1766 and 1784, and had children aged under 15. So their actual birth dates would probably be in the 1770s or early 1780s. This would be the right age to be the father of the younger William East (born 1795). Since the father of Joel is known (John Thomas East [E7], born about 1745), and since Joel was living next door to William (Sr) in 1810, then it is very likely that this elder William was another son of John Thomas East. Joel had two sons under age 10 in 1810, and William (Sr) had one son born 1795-1800. Joel had two daughters under age 10 and a young wife born between 1785 and 1794. Hence, he was not the father of the William born in 1795; William, brother of Joel must have been the father of the younger William. The elder William had one daughter under age 10, a wife of the same age as Joel’s wife, and there was an elder woman in his home, age 45 or older.

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

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

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

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

Pg 28A, Josiah East, age 16-25; there was an elderly couple in this same household, age 45 or older. If Josiah was the head of the household, it appears he was just married. Probably the head of the household was the elder couple; some of these East families moved to central KY in the 1810s, and there were two Josiah East marriages in KY by 1820. There were no little children in the Josiah East home in 1810.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

c.    J H L East (boy), b 1837 (3knq)

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

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

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

f.    Mary E East, b 1846 (3nq)

g.    Martha L East, b 1848 (3nq)

h.    L A East (boy), b 1851 (3q)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      William East [E7b3], son of Thomas East Jr and Nancy Caldwell, was born about 1802 in Laurens Co SC. He married Elizabeth Forbes, who was born about 1802 in TN. In 1830 William and Elizabeth were the only East family in East Feliciana Parish LA, and they were still there in 1860, living near Jackson. (In 1860 Elizabeth was age 50; she aged only two years in the past ten years.) Their children were-*

a.    boy East, b abt 1820 (M92,104j)

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

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

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

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

      3.    Thomas Pipes, b 1862 (104r)

      4.    William Pipes, b 1866 (104r)

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

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

e.    Thomas G East, b 1831 in East Feliciana Parish LA (per 1850 census), or born in MS (per 1860 census). In 1850 he was living with his parents, but in 1860 he was living next to his sister Malissa at Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish. He had married Margaret _____. She was of the same age, and born in LA. They had two children by 1860-

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

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

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

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

In 1850, William and his family were living next door to his brother Langston East [E7b6]. (M92,104jn,105q)

      William East [E7a12], son of Tarlton East Sr and Zilpha Priscilla Walker, was born 4 July 1806 in KY. He was a boy when his parents moved to LA where he grew up. His was the only East family in the 1830 Federal census for LA, and he was in East Feliciana Parish. All his brothers who moved to this area of the US were in MS, or were missed on census records in 1830. William had married a woman born in the 1790s, so she was a bit older than William. Also, in their home in 1830 was a much older woman. She was in her 70s. And since William’s mother had died in 1823, this lady was perhaps William’s mother-in-law. William and his wife had four children by 1830-

a.    boy East, b 1821-1825 (104j)

b.    boy East, b 1821-1825 (104j)

c.    girl East, b 1826-1830 (104j)

      William East [E7d3], son of Joel East and Rebecca Lofton, was born 4 July 1806 in Laurens Co SC, and died 1 December 1847, probably in VA. He had married Louisa Fitzgerald in Nelson Co VA on 6 July 1823. (W,3h,538i,647m) See William East [E7a12], son of Tarlton East Sr; best guess is that this William East is not Joel’s son.

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

1.    boy East, b 1831-1835

2.    girl East, b 1831-1835

He was not found in Charlotte Co in 1840. There was a boy Robert W East, age 15, found living in the William Smith hotel at Charlotte in 1850, and was a bar keep. The only East men who could be his father were William who married Mary Haskins, and Isaac who did have a boy of Robert’s age. But Isaac was living at Charlotte Co in 1850, and Robert wasn’t in his home, although two other children were. In any case, neither William nor Robert W East were found outside Charlotte Co after 1850, and William wasn’t found after 1830. (24imn)

      William East, parents unknown, was born in VA in January 1824 and probably grew up there. He married Sarah Jane _____ in 1858 and they lived in VA until about 1867 when they moved to Perry, Pike Co OH. In 1880 they lived in Wayne Co IN, and in 1900 were in Delaware Co IN.

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

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

      1.    Mary Louise East, b 1916 at Arkadelphia, Clark Co AR. (63w,54f)

Sloan and his family were missed in the 1920 census, so apparently the census taker used information from a neighbor since ages, birth places, and professions were not given. Sloan’s family was the only family on the last page of the Arkadelphia enumeration in 1920, as if his listing were a last minute correction. (M,63vw, 54f)

He was a widower living with his son Jesse near Foley village in Burr Oak Twp, Lincoln Co MO in 1900 and 1910.

William was killed during the Civil War in the Battle of Cross Hollow in AR. The 1840 census shows that they had two children by then, probably born in Madison Co IL-*

In 1930 LaRue’s mother, her brother William, and Dick’s niece Evelyn T Downing (born 1912 in OR) lived with her and Dick.

      William H East [E4c3a6i], son of William East and Rachel Talbot, was born 17 April 1817 in Wayne Co IN, probably near the White Water Quaker Church since his parents were members there since December 1815. He married Mary Lundy on 6 June 1842 at Birch Lake, Cass Co. In 1850 he was living with his parents and was apparently a widower since a young daughter was living with him; his young son was then living with Mary Lundy’s parents Lott Lundy (born 1804 VA) and Rachel Coggeshall (born 1805 NC) at Penn, Cass Co. Mary Lundy was born 9 September 1826 in Grant Co IN and died in Cass Co MI on 25 December 1846. Her gravestone says she was “20y 4m” which incorrectly puts her birth date in August 1826; Quaker records have the accurate date. Mary probably died of complications from the birth of her son Evan. William married again, this time to Melvina E Williams on 1 March 1857 in Cass Co. She was born in 1833 in Wayne Co IN. They lived at Calvin, Cass Co in 1870 next door to his nephew James Milton East and next to Milton’s son Alonzo East. William was a carpenter.

The marriage between a William East and Drusilla Hudson in Wayne Co IN on 24 May 1832 was probably a free colored couple; they were still in the county in 1840, living in Richmond. The 1840 census indicates that one or both of them had children from a prior marriage. (M92,M10,Q, 72kcnqrs)

      William H East [E4c3b3h], son of John H East and Mary Ann Burch, was born in 1818 in Surry Co NC. He moved to Monroe Co IN in the early 1830s and married Evaline Walls about 1837.

      William Isaac East [E7a7b], son of Isaac East and Margaret Smith, was born in 1825 at Meadville, Franklin Co MS. He married Keziah Smith at Meadville, Franklin Co MS on 19 October 1843. In the 1850 and 1860 census of Copiah Co MS, William and Keziah lived close to Joel Walker East [E7a11], William’s uncle. Of all the East men of this area of MS who had a son of William’s age in 1830, there were four: Isaac East [E7a7]; Thomas East [E7b] (Tarlton Sr’s brother) who lived in Copiah Co MS and who was born in the 1770s with a wife born in the 1780s; Josiah East who was born in the 1790s; and John East who was born in the 1790s. These last two were sons of Tarlton’s brother Thomas East. And since William, for many years of his life lived very close to Joel East, brother of Isaac, this indicates that the family ties were with Tarlton East Sr’s descendants, and not with Tarlton’s brother Thomas. Hence, William was probably a son of Isaac East. He was a Baptist Minister who owned many slaves.

In 1880, Julia lived with two older sisters at Niles. They were dress makers and Julia was a school teacher. Julia had four siblings; two were boys, and one boy died at age 1 in September 1859.

In the mid 1850s they moved to Madison Co MO and were there in 1860 in Twelvemile Twp. Other than James, this whole family was born in Smith and Macon Counties TN. James apparently died in the 1860s because Winny was the head of her home in Myatt Twp in 1870, living next door to her son James. The census taker had written James Driver as the head of the house, then corrected himself and wrote Winny over James’ name; perhaps James had just recently died, and was still on everyone’s memory as still being the head of the home.

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

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

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

       Yancy B East [E4a2a3h5b], son of James Mitchell East and Mary Frances Worsham [E4b2a7c4], was born in February 1871 (age 13 in 1880, 29 in 1900) at Staunton, Pittsylvania Co VA. He married Leodora Susan “Loda” Clay in Pittsylvania Co on 23 May 1894. When married, he was a widower, and age 23. Loda was age 16. She was born in January 1878 (age 20 in 1900) in Halifax Co, daughter of Ferdinand P Clay and Ariminta Finch, and was a sister of Calla A Clay who married Yancy’s brother Granville East. Yancy’s first wife was Regina East [E4a2a3h3d], married in Pittsylvania Co on 21 September 1890. The record for both marriages showed that Yancy was a son of J M & Mary F East; Regina was shown to be age 16 and a daughter of Agnes East. No father of Regina was named, but he was Ezekiel East Jr, Agnes’ father (see Agnes’ biography). Yancy and Regina must have died in the 1900s because in 1910 their two youngest children were living with Loda’s parents at Staunton. Yancy and Regina had a daughter, and with Loda he had three more children; all were born in Pittsylvania Co VA-*

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

2.    Martha J East, b Feb 1896 (27u)

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

       Yancy Thomas East [E1f3], son of William East and Elizabeth Thurston, was born 5 May 1804 in Henry Co VA. He grew up in Madison Co AL, and died on 25 May 1857. Yancy apparently did not marry, nor did he have any children, according to his estate papers which were filed in Madison Co. He was buried in the East family Cemetery with his father. (M92,JF,48p)

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

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

       b.    James Franklin Rider, b 2 Sep 1914 (WAb,642wf)

She was born in CO in October 1889, daughter of George F Fonda and Mary E _____. Catherine lived at Boulder in 1900 and 1910, so James must have been at Boulder when they met, and perhaps married. Their son was-*

       a.    James Montgomery East Jr, b 9 Jul 1918 in Okanogan Co WA. He lived with his maternal grandparents at Boulder, CO in 1930, and died at Boulder on 17 December 1994. (WAb,Z,799f) (M,WAb,799uvf,642uv)

In June 1917 he was in the Naval Reserves Flying Corps at Tonasket, and in 1920 Edward was living in a rooming house at Bremerton, WA, and worked at the Navy yard. He was not married by 1920. He died at Boise, ID on 1 June 1995. Note that Edward H East [E11f], brother of Edward Z’s father, lived in Kleberg Co TX in 1920. Perhaps Edward Z was born there while his parents were on a visit to see Edward Z’s uncle. (M,Z, 642uv,754w) (685qr,753s, 642uvw)

       Zealous B East [E19a2j], son of Zealous Ray East and Mahuldah Armour, was born in 1854 in Randolph Co AL and was not in his mother’s home in 1870, so had probably died in the 1860s. (47q)

Zealous R married Abrilla A Waites (Aberrilia in 1930), daughter of Henry Waites and Martha Edwards, and she may have been a second wife.

       Zealous Ray East served in Company G, 46th Alabama Infantry, Confederate States Army. He first enlisted in the Wesobulga Pioneers as a drummer. The Wesobulga Pioneers were organized July 21, 1860 in Wesobulga (now Cragford) in Clay County Alabama. He is found in the 46th Alabama as a Private in Company E, a member of Capt. Handley's Company on 14 May 1862 on an enlistment roll for three years or war. He next appeared as a Private in a list of POW's at Vicksburg MS July 11, 1863. Next listing is a parole at Vicksburg, MS dated 4 July 1863. He next is listed on a list of men furloughed at Enterprise, MS about July 22, 1863. One can assume he was furloughed for a period of time to return home. The next listing of Z R in the official records is a receipt for clothes dated 30 April 1864 as Sergeant in Company 5, 46th Alabama Infantry (Second Quarter 1864). The next listing is where Sargent Z R East appears on a roll of prisoners captured near Atlanta, GA on 30 July 1864. He was transferred to Louisville, KY arriving there on 5 August 1864. He was then sent to Camp Chase, OH arriving 6 August 1864. On 4 March 1865 he was found on a record of prisoners transferred to Center Point, Virginia for exchange.
