In my family tree I have:
William East m. Mary Jane Copenhaver(gggrandfather)
Andrew Timothy East m. Sarah Eliza Mercer(ggrandfather)
Willie Stone East m. Elva Thompson(grandfather)
Andrew Timothy East m. Wanda Mayfield(my father)
My father died at 24 yrs old and my grandfather raised me, we lived on Meadow Creek in Wayne Co. KY....as a child I lived on the property were the Copenhaver and East cemetaries are located.I remember going through the woods to reach the East cemetary and my grandfather telling me that our family was buried there.My brother, sister and I used to play in the Copenhaver cemetary and read all the names on the stones. My grandparents called the place the graveyard knoll.I believe my Uncle bought that parcel when my grandmother died.You can find other cemetary information in the Wayne County Library archives web page has a site of cemetary listing and both the East and Copenhaver are listed.
