Lemuel was married 5 times. 1. Rebecca Cunningham. 2. C.M. Hester. 3.Sarah
Smithson, 4. Margaret A. Innis. 5. Margaret Sweeney.Later, MargaretSweeny
changed her name to Mariah Jane Potts. Potts had been her maiden name.Lemuel Eastes was the oldest of the eleven children born to Holman Eastes
and Ruth Webb. He was born on 3 June 1838 in Hancock County, Indiana on the
farm where the Eastes-Harvey Cemetery is now located. His occupation was
primarily as a farmer but in later life he worked as a blacksmith. About1859,
Lemuel married Rebecca Cunningham. No place, date or marriage
certificate has been found. Her son, Joseph Frank Eastes said she was part Indian but no evidence as been found so far.When the Civil War began, Lemuel was enlisted by Capt. Alfred Kilgore
at Muncie, Indiana on 21 August 1861. He enlisted as a Private for 3 years in
the Army of the United States . On the same day he joined his new unit and was
assigned to Capt Hugh A. Stephens, Company B, 36th Regiment of the Indiana
Infantry Volunteers. At the time of enlistment he was 25 years old, light
complexion and had blue eyes. He was married and had one son, Jasper Newton,
born on 3 March 1860.His military records tell of a very complex period. The Muster Rolls
dated May and June 1862, states he was left sick at New Haven, Kentucky on 5
December 1861. Then the July and August 1862 Muster Rolls lists him as a
deserter. On 18 August 1862, his unit apparently moved again and a list of
deserters shows he had deserted at McMinnville, Tennessee. Further records
show he was admitted to the Post Hospital at New Haven, Kentucky on 27 December
1861 and then sent to Nelson Barracks, Kentucky to be treated for measles.
Lemuel was then sent to the Louisville Barracks on 5 March 1862 and given a
Discharge Furlough signed by General Buel and directed to return home to await
his discharge. On 27 April 1862 he was returned to his unit as a deserter.
However, since he had his Discharge Furlough he was returned to active duty and
given an Honorable Disability Discharge on 7 May 1863 at Murfreesbrough,
Tennessee. On his Discharge Certificate his home address was given as
Chesterfield, Indiana. Another document from the Adjutant General's
Office in Washington, D.C. dated 23 August 1887 removes the Desertion
Charges erroneously placed against him. Since Lemuel was an Honorably
Discharged Disabled Veteran, he was given a pension. The date of his
death is confirmed as being on 11 May 1903 and was last paid $17.00 on 4
May 1903. A Disability Certificate dated 29 February 1888 shows his home
in New Corner, Indiana, (later know as Gaston) in Delaware County. The
certificate further states that due to illness contracted in Military
Service he was now certified as being totally unable to work at his
occupation as a farmer and blacksmith.Lemuel Eastes first married Rebecca Cunningham. In the Disability documents and in Lemuel's handwriting there is listed four living children by this marriage. These were Jasper Newton born 3 March 1860, Charles Everett born 18 June 1864, William Holman born 7 May 1867 and my grandfather, Joseph Frank born 9 May 1874. I have aphotograph of a teen age girl apparently taken before 1900. On the backin Joseph Frank's handwriting is written the name Anna Belle Eastes, full sister. The story that has been passed down through the family was that at the age of 17 she died under mysterious circumstances. According to the story, the family had gone to town and on their return she was found dead. Joseph Frank said that she was not the type to have committed suicide. No record can be found of her birth or death but in the photograph she looks like Rebecca Cunningham and Joseph Frank Eastes. It is assumed that Anna Belle was born between William Holman (7 May 1867) and Joseph Frank (9 May 1875.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management shows a record of Lemuel buying 160 acres in St Croix Co., WI on 5 August 1869. The Document is # 6987 and filed at the St Croix, WI land Office. The discription of the land is -Part 1 SE, Blk 14, twp 29N, Range 15W Section none, Meridian 4th PM-1831MN/WI, State of WI, County St Croix.
Lemuel Eastes' first marriage ended in the tragic death of Rebecca Cunningham On 26 December 1878 she was killed when thrown from a mud boat on the Bradford Pike northeast of Marion, Indiana in Grant County. My
grandfather, Joseph Frank, her youngest son was 3 1/2 years old.Lemuel then married Hester, C.M. No further information has been found
except that they were divorced on 3 May 1879 in Grant County, Indiana.Then on 18 June 1879, Lemuel married Sarah Smithson. No record has been
found of a death or divorce but on 9 December 1880, Lemuel married a fourth
time. This contract was with Margaret A.Innis in Rush County, Indiana.The
marriage lasted until March 1882 when they were divorced in Madison County,
Indiana.On 10 April 1882, Lemuel married Margaret Sweeney in Madison County,
Indiana. Margaret had been previously married to Thomas Sweeney and divorced
on 12 October 1879. Margaret later changed her name to Mariah Jane Potts.
(Potts had been her maiden name) This change was accomplished after her
marriage to Lemuel as it is shown as Margaret on their marriage licence in 1882
and later as Muriah Jane on a Bureau of Pensions Quarterly Voucher, dated19
May 1903, which was eight days after Lemuel died.Lemuel and Muriah Jane had three children. Mary L. born 6 October 1883, Ruth Pearl born 8 November 1885 and Benjamin Harrison. Benjamin later lived in Indianapolis and served in WW I.
Lemuel died in Landissville, Indiana and was buried in Tinkle Cemetery.
Many years ago, LeRoy Eastes, a son of Jasper Newton Eastes, sent me a
photograph of Lemuel's tombstone. In later years, the headstone was missing, but I was told a local group installed a Civil War Veterans marker.Lemuel was well known and respected throughout Grant County. He was a
Master Mason and prominent in the G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) and had
been Post Master at Landissville for many years. According to newspaper
clippings, Lemuel had apparently gone into a comma and. was pronounced dead at
5 pm on 4 May 1903. Later in the evening, the Odd Fellows Lodge was in
session and had just passed a resolution to honor one of their highly respected
members, when a messenger arrived telling them that he had come back to life.The heading on the news article says, "Lemuel Eastes of Landess SupposeTo Have
Died, Returns Suddenly to Life." Lemuel lived one week in an unconscious
state and passed away on 11 May 1903. Then another newspaper article with a
heading said, "Lemuel Eastes' Death Again Recorded," and told of his final
passage and the date of the probate of his will.Lemuel's will was dated 23 January 1903. He bequeathed all his
personal property and real estate to his wife Muriah Jane. It also stipulated
that if she remarried she was to have one third. In the event of her death
should she not remarry, the estate was to be divided into seven equal shares
and distributed to Jasper N., Charles E., William H., Joseph F , Mary L.,
Ruth E. and Benjamin Eastes. Charles E. Eastes was appointed as
Administrator of the will.After Lemuel's death , Muriah Jane married a man by the name of McKee.

is a deduction from the fact that a William Cunningham married Editha
Parker in 1832, which would be about right for birth of the children
who appear in the 1850 census. Davie county was formed from Rowan in
1836, so anyone living in what is now Davie prior to that time would
be documented in Rowan Co. records until then.William married Jane Inglis in 1846, and she's living with him in

Extracted from The History of Delware Co., IN -
Page 498
DR. WILLIAM T. EASTES, a veteran medical practitioner of Delaware county,for many years a resident of Gaston, where he is now living, is a nativeHoosier of the real pioneer stock and has lived in this state all hislife, a resident of this county for nearly fifty years. Doctor Eastes wasborn on a farm in the immediate vicinity of Mt. Comfort, in Hancockcounty, August 11, 1844, and is a Son of Holman and Ruth (Webb ) Eastes,the latter of whom was born in what is now Rush county, November 14,1819, that having been a year prior to the opening of the lands nowcomprised within Rush for settlement and more than two years prior to theformal erection of that county, the Webbs having been among the. earliestsettlers in that region.
Holman Eastes was born in what is now Union 1 county, February 21, 1817,which was four years before that county was erected as a separate civicentity, his parents having been among the early pioneers on what then wasthe western frontier of settlement, for it was not until in the yearfollowing that the lands west in central Indiana were ceded to thegovernment by the Indians. Before the lands in what is now Hancock countywere all taken up Obediah Eastes, father of Holman Eastes, moved overinto that part of the state, entered a tract of land for a home and therebecame a permanent resident. It was thus that Holman Eastes became aresident of Hancock county. In Rush county on December 22, 1886 hemarried Ruth Webb. He established his home in the Mt. Comfortneighborhood in Hancock county and there remained until in 1856, when hemoved to the neighboring county of Madison and established his home on afarm in the Summitville neighborhood. In 1878 he disposed of hisinterests there and moved to the neighboring county of Grant, where hislast days were spent, his death occurring on February 27, 1880. His widowsurvived him for more than twenty years, her death occurring on April 8,1901. Holman Eastes was a Republican, a Methodist and a Freemason. Foryears he served his local public as justice of the peace and was widelyknown as 'Squire Eastes. To him and his wife were born eleven children.of whom three are still living, Doctor Eastes having two sisters, Mrs.Sarah Jane Kelsey and Mrs. Jessie E. Ward. The other members of thisfamily were Lemuel F., Addison S., Lucinda A., Jasper Newton, MarshallT., Albert 0., Meredith P., and Jerome S. When William T. Eastes wasabout twelve years of age his parents moved from Hancock county toMadison county and he grew up on the home farm in the Summitvilleneighborhood. He had good schooling and early became a school teacher, aprofession he followed for six years.
Page 499
He married in his nineteenth year, his wife being a seventeen-year-oldgirl, and carried on farming in addition to his school teaching. He alsofor two or three years kept store at SummitviIle, meanwhile giving hisattention to the reading of medicine, had a couple of years of directedreading under the preceptorship of Dr. Peter Drager, of Hartford City,and then in 1878 established his home on a farm in the Ice and Broylesneighborhood in the northwestern part of Washington township, thiscounty, where he also started as a medical practitioner, and there madehis home for four years, meantime completing his medical studies in theMedical College of Indiana at Indianapolis and in 1881 was graduated fromthat institution. Upon receiving his diploma, Doctor Eastes disposed ofhis farming interests and opened an office for the practice of medicineat Albany, this county. A year later he moved to Gaston (then known asNew Corner) and after a sometime practice there moved to Muncie, where hewas engaged in practice for eight years, at the end of which time hereturned to Gaston, where he since has maintained his office, rankingafter the late Doctor Bowles and the elder Doctor Kemper as among theoldest physicians in the county. Dr. William T. Eastes has been twicemarried. His first wife, Sarah C. Zedekar, died on August 30, 1919, andon January 19, 1922, he married Martha Rench, who died on January 1,1923. Sarah C. (Zedekar) Eastes was born in Summitville, Ind., March 161846 and on August 23, 1863, married William T. Eastes.

Hiswidow survived him for many years and was eighty-four years of age at thetime of her death. They were the parents of ten children, five sons andfive daughters, and the Zedekar connection of this family in the presentgeneration is a considerable one, even as is that of the Eastes family.To Dr. William T. and Sarah C.

Sent from the Internet (Details)Hi Roy,
Thanks for the feedback
I am sending the record compiled by Ella McKillip Eastes. I think Mildred or Dee Robinson helped her since both of them did some genealogy research. The reason I think that Ella wrote it is that all the McKillip/Fleek info was hand written in the same hand as on the photo postcard I sent you yesterday, and Frank Eastes is referred to as stepson. He was Ella's stepson.
