The Atherton connection is my Great Grandmother Eunice, Joseph's wife Eunice Atherton, we called her Mamie, :) Who's father was Calvin Atherton, I think, it's a little confusing because the is also an Abernathy wrapped in somewhere to, who may also have been called Calvin.
My grandfather Jeff ( who went by his middle name Clyde) was the only child that Joseph and Eunice had that lived, he had a twin, who died at 9 days old. My father (Jeff Jr) also had a brother who died of Polio at 9 years old, and a sister that died a few years ago, she had Polio as well, which affected her spine and legs. So was in her 60's when she died.
I have two brothers and a sister. We all have children. So from my grandfather, who to my knowledge was the only East of his generation, there are now 8 males living. My son is the oldest of his generation, (a total of 4) of East at 18 and the youngest one of my nephews will be a year old this month. My sister also has two boys with a different last name.
