Thanks very much!The connection between William Elkins and Matthew Galloway on the bond that you mentioned also makes a compelling case that this Mary East is the right Mary East of James East, and sister of Elizabeth East Wilkins.I'll send you separate email to get copies of the documents you mentioned.
Interestingly, for anyone else who is researching Mary East Galloway, I found her last night on a 1860 census when she was 93 years old, married to her second husband, R. Hutchinson, who she married when she was about 80!From everything I have found, she was a fascinating person.
Thanks again for checking.Although this may not be absolute proof, it relieves me of the worry that she might have been the daughter of some East other than James Sr.
