Asa’s two sons under age 10 in 1800 must have been Thomas and an unknown son. The daughter under age 10 was Sarah. From the above table, it appears that Thomas East Sr was the father of the other four East men. Was there a will or probate record in Stokes Co for him?

In 1810 in Stokes Co there was only one East family, Thomas, in Shores Reed District (census page 126 / 129)

The 1820 Census records thought to be connected (as of 17 January 2005) with the East families of south central VA and north central NC are here briefly shown so that others may easily follow up with their own searches. Keep in mind that the 1820 census age-breakdowns are

Males

0-9, 10-15

Females

0-9, 10-15

Note that just because two families are on the same census page number, that does not necessarily mean they lived nearby; often, the census taker would rewrite his info in alphabetical order, putting two families with the same last name on the same census page, even though they actually may have lived at opposite corners of the county.

The last number grouping, after the Pg Number, are the total number of foreigners not Naturalized, total engaged in Agriculture, Commerce, Manufacturing, total Free colored, and total Slaves; after the total Free colored or Slaves, the gender will be a small letter for female or male. If the third grouping is blank, then the census had no info for that.

Missouri was part of the Louisiana Territory between 1805 and 1812, when it became a territory by itself. It didn’t become a state until 1821, and before that the Indians, encouraged by the British, did a good job of keeping the White settlers out of MO. There was no MO census until 1830.
