Isobel, I have a William Wilson Easson, b. Jan.15, 1893 in Appin House, Townhill,
Dunfermline. He was the 8th child of Thomas Easson of Redcraige and Agnes Wilson of
Roscobie. The parents were married on April 12, 1878 on Monestary St., Dunfermline, and
both died in 1930 in Beveragewell. Unfortunately, I have no clue as to who William
married, except the info you offered about Mary.
William's father, Thomas, was 19 yrs old and single when he accompanied his three
newly wed brothers in a migration in 1870 to Lander Co., Nevada. Apparently,ranching
wasn't his forte, so in 1873 he sold his 160 acres of land to his brother Robert (my
great-grandfather) and returned to Dunfermline.Thomas married there, and raised a family
of 9 children- the next to the yougest was William. It would be fun if this all fits .
together.Let me know !
