I too am a direct decendant of John Easley and his wife Mary Benskin. I am so excited to find other 'cousins' out there. I too would be very interested in the chapter about the Easley plantation and the pictures, if they are still available. John and Mary's son Stephen married Mary Ann David Burnton, their son Peter Easley married Elizabeth Vincent, their son John married Mary Hamilton, their son Vincent Franklin married Nancy Clem Miller, their son Samual Wilbur married Melissa Gott, their son Charles Houston married Ada Bradley, their son William Wilbur was my father.
