David, Rilus or Joseph Eastman, Bleecker
My great grandfather, David Eastman, was born in Bleecker, Fulton County, New York. David’s father, Rilus Root Eastman, died there on May 02, 1870.I would like to be put in touch with any "cousins" or descendants of this Eastman family if they are still in or near Bleecker to get an idea of what it was like there in the mid to late 1800's.
I also have a B&W photograph that says Joseph Eastman on the back.I believe that it may be his brother Joseph (a GYNECOLOGIST / SURGEON?) and would like to send the photo to any of his descendants that still may be living in Bleecker.
Thanks.Doug J Eastman in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada – [email protected]
