Per a request, here is the entry on the Eastman families of Newbury. The entry is relatively long, so I will be breaking it into four parts -- one part for each of the three families and one part for the Eastman entries in the historical section.

They started for Newbury the day they were married, his father driving a four-ox team with their goods, Daniel driving cattle and sheep, and his wife on horseback. They settled at West Newbury, where Warren Carleton now lives, his farm including also a large part of what is now that of W.C. and D. Carleton. They carried on a large farming business and also a cider mill and distillery. He d. March 22, 1840. Mr. David Eastman gives some particulars regarding his father and grandfather which give some idea of what farming was in the earlier part of the 19th century. "Thomas Eastman, like most farmers in those days, went barefoot in the summer. Thomas and Daniel Eastman had a large farm, raising about 150 tons of hay, 100 bu. of corn, 300 bu. of grain, 1200 bushels of apples, most of which they made into cider. They owned a distillery, making 25 or 30 barrels of cider brandy and potato whiskey, at 35 cts. per gallon. They raised about 1/2 acre of flax each year, which the girls of the family made into cloth. From 1800 to 1825, oxen were worth $40 to $60 per pair, cows $8 to $14. Butter brought from 8 (cents) to 12 (cents) and 125 lbs. was thought to be a good annual yield for a cow. The staple product of the farm was wheat, usually worth $1.25 per bushel. Labor by the month was $8 to $10; in haying a man received one dollar for mowing two acres." Children, all b. in N.: Page 536 i. Mary, b. Nov. 6, 1798; d. Sept. 30, 1804 2. ii. Roger, b.
