Blanche,
I do not have all of Liggen and Easter's children.Actually this question came up on a list I am on once and I told everybody the only children of Easter and Liggen I knew of would be the three children who intermarried with the Greenlee family (there would have been more children of course, according to the census). I had it that Easter and Liggen moved on to Claiborne County and died there.I now believe that this is likely not so.Sometime this past year when plowing through the 1850 Grainger County censu for about the umpteenth time I ran across the following "Easter May" aged 74 in the household of one Anna Solomon.This is probably not a unique discovery.:) :)A while back I was trying to help a Daniel descendent and I did what I usually do.I pulled my files and made up a family group sheet (I lke to avoid any preconceived notions based on what other researchers have.)Since Edward Daniel, Sr.'s will conveniently lists his children in order of age I based my family group sheet on the fact that the elderly Betsey Mayes aged 72 in William Mayes household in the 1850 Grainger County census was most likely his mother Elizabeth "Betsey" Daniel Mayes (Dudley's widow)and made Easter two years older.However, when I checked online submissions for Edward Sr.'s family some researchers had Easter born 1776 and Elizabeth born circa 1775-circa 1779 or something so obviously these folks had compiled their reports from a different perspective than mine. :) :)I think the other information these researchers had would be this census entry. :)Anyway it seems to me quite likely that Easter died in Grainger County (actually I am wondering whether Liggen didn't die in Grainger County too and there is some confusion with the younger Liggen Mayes of Claiborn County).The head of the household that Easter is listed in 1850, Anna Solomon, would be the Anna Mayes who married Goodwon Solomon 14 January 1835 in Grainger County and quite likely another of Easter and Liggen's Children.
