In the 1870 census, a J. Eason was a farm laborer in the northern Reese River Valley near
Austin, NV; born ~1850-52 in Scotland; living with his older brother R. Eason, also from
Scotland. The census record shows that both immigrated in 1870. In 1894, Joseph Eason
staked a mining claim in the Kennedy mining district in what now is eastern Pershing Co.,
NV; tax records show that he also owned a house and lot in that town from 1896-1899. In
1900, Joseph Eason was living in Lewis, Lander Co., NV, working as a miner. He was
married to Isabelle for 30 years (as of 1900); she was born in Scotland in 1850 and
immigrated in 1870 as well. Hope this helps.
