Dear Kathleen,
Alas, I seem to have hit a wall on this one -- I know that Martha Marie or Maria Carleton
married John Inman Eastman (descended from Roger, who emigrated to the Massachusetts Bay
Colony in 1638) and had three daughters -- Helen Carleton Eastman (DPOB August 20, 1860
Concord NH, Maria Louise Eastman (DPOB July 23 1857 Nashua NH) and my great-grandmother,
Harriet Lee Eastman (DPOB 1864 in either Philadelphia or Concord). I think I iwll
probably have to track down the marriage certificate (1856 Concord NH) to see if the
parents of the bride are listed!
From the dates, John H could possibly be a grandparent, though he
doesn't seem to be living in the same NH area and the ancestors don't seem to have
been very adventurous in looking for spouses. Do you have information on all his
children? The 1830 and 1840 census records might help me track down possibles.
Regards, Jeannette
