And 11 other occupants "in Family", none of which are Easts, but several are Steiners

LDS (Mormon) Records contain the following info:
(a) John Elmer East md. Sarah Catherine Yoder, Columbia Co., PA, on or about 24 Dec 1890. I suspect that this was son of John and Mary East and brother of your direct ancestor, William M.
(b) William M. East md. Carrie A. Wright, Columbia Co., PA, on or about 3 March 1892.

Based on the latter marriage record, I believe that your Carrie A. was not only a Wright (and not a Harris), but also that she was the Caroline A. Wright in the following 1880 Household:

1880 census, District 80, Salem Township; Luzerne Co., Penn. 12th June 1880
Dwelling 114; Family 121
Daniel Wright; Age 41; Farm Laborer; Born in Penn.; Both Parents born in Penn.
Rosanna Wright; Age 40; Wife; Born in Penn.; Both Parents born in Penn.
Ida M. Wright; Daughter; Age 15
Carolina A. Wright; Daughter; Age 10
John F. Wright; Son; Age 8
Charles W. Wright; son; Age 6
Eva F. Wright; daughter; Age 4
Teresa J. Wright; daughter; Age 2

1870 census; Beach Haven P.O., Salem Twp., Luzerne Co., Penn. 24th June 1870
Dwelling 340; Family 350
Daniel Wright; Age 35
Rosannah Wright; Age 30
Mary Wright; Age 11
Sarah Wright; Age 6
Ida Wright; Age 3
Caroline Wright; Age 4/12 year

1860 census; Berwick P.O., Briar Creek Township, Columbia Co., Pennsylvania, 8th of Aug 1860
Dwelling 1069; Family 1061
Daniel Wright; Age 22; Farmer
Rosanna Wright; Age 21
M.E. Wright; (female) Age 2

Checking LDS records, I find the following information submitted by THOMAS R. GOLD, 6912 S 12TH ST #1501, TACOMA WA, USA 98465

Daniel Wright, born 31 Dec 1838, Columbia Co., Penn.; died 22 Mar 1912; Son of Jonas Wright and Elizabeth Smith; Married Rosanna Harris

Check Philadelph Passenger Lists to see if there's info on which ship John East and brothers, Thomas and Robert, came over on. These lists may be available in a LDS (Mormon) Family History Center near you.
