>Ron, My notes say that Shadrach Easterling b. ca. 1764, son of Rev. Henry Easterling, was married to Rebecca Stubbs. Shadrach and Rebecca were the parents of Henry Easterling b. November 15, 1792, d. May 26, 1865. That Henry was my ggg grandfather. The wife of James Easterlin(g), son of Rev. Henry and brother of Shadrach, is supposed to have been Betty, and they are thought to have moved to Georgia around 1804. Another brother, William, had a son named James who married Sarah Cockrell Manship. Thanks.
