Babecakes, only thing I found so far on Erastus is Erastus son of Orin and Nancy b7/1/1834 d 5/14/1853 Martha Ann dtr of Orin and Nancy d 4/20/1869 45yrs. I think that these are probably related to your Erastus simply because of the dates and the name. probably cousins or something. Will look further. don't give up. Bruce
