Hi Holly. I would love to share info with you. I think I may know the missing link to your family as there was a James Easlon that was the younger brother of my great grandfather. I'm not too sure if the timeline fits, or if he may have also had a son named James. It's possible. I do not have any information about James Easlon or his family, but I do have information about his older brothers and sisters families. Please contact me anytime at cseaslon@sbcglobal.net. I hope to hear from you.

Sincerely,
Clint Easlon

Thomas, JR, was my great grandfather......I would love any info you could give me.......No info on the name change, my grandfather and his brothers and sisters knew that it had been changed, but from what was a source of some debate.....lol

Thanks, Arthur. Since I posted that, I located an 1870 Arkansas census that lists Thomas. I'm asuming Thomas Jr. was your great grandfather or maybe great-great. Until I saw that census, I'd always thought Thomas was the oldest but according to that census, they had a daughter before him. If you'd like to see it, e-mail me and I'll see if I can send it to you. You wouldn't happen to remember hearing any stories about the name change, would you?

Nice hearing from you, Cousin,
Debbie

That was the 1900 Chickasaw Census

Re: Easlon

In the Chickasaw Nation Census of 1902, Thomas, JR. lists his father's place of birth as Tennessee.....hope that helps.

In 1860, Columbia Co, AR, Harriett E. Burk is listed with her father RHH Burk (born Georgia) and her step mother Martha. She is in Sevier County, AR near her sister in 1870 (Narcissa Amanda Burke Rodgers) and married to Thomas Easlon with two small children.
Her tombstone reads Harriet E. Burks Berkley. She used the initial consistently.

Thank you for the information. Can anyone verify that Harriett Burk(e) Easlon (1847-1910-20) was the daughter of Rhesa H. H. Burke (1810-1860) and Sophia Hohwerter (1910-1852)?

Re: harriet burke easlon berkley

Harriet's maiden name was Burke. Thomas was her first husband but he died before 1880. Thomas and Harriet had 6 children. Emma, Thomas, Nathaniel, Tennessee, Parrasetta and James.

Re: harriet burke easlon berkley

myravg — 2004-09-08 00:15:05Z

In the 1880 Mill Creek, Franklin County, AR census, Harried EASLON is listed (no husband) with a daughter, Tennessee Easlon, age 8, born AR. Other children listed are:
Thomas, 10, Parrasett, 9, Nathaniel B., 5 and James, 2.

I am interested in Harriet's maiden name, determining who her first husband was -- Thomas? (found a Thomas and Harriet in 1870 Sevier County, AR that matches somewhat). and to verify that I have the correct Parrasetta Easlon who married a PRYOR ca 1899.

Appreciate any help or clues on this line.

Hi Ann,

I haven't been able to find anything beyond the 1870 census, either. I know that Thomas was in the Civil War and my dad said he remembered his dad telling him that Thomas got wounded in the war and that he walked with a limp as a result. Did you see the name of the first child on the census? I can't figure out what it is but I know that's not a name of any of the children that I'd ever heard of. Judging from the age, she was born the same year that Thomas and Harriett were married. I have no idea if this was his first marriage or not but he was around 40 when they wed so I'm thinking that he probably was married before. Please let me know if you find out anything. This has had me stumped for quite awhile now.

My husbands great grandmother was Pairsetta Easlon, daughter of Thomas J. Easlon & Harriett Burke. The 1870 Census indicates Thomas was born in TN, but I have not been able to locate him in any older Census. He was 21 years older than his wife. Do you know if he was he married before and did the remaining family move to OK prior to 1889? Thanks.

Ok, all you Easlons and Berkleys out there. It is hard for me to believe that absolutely no one knows anything about the Easlon family beyond Thomas Jefferson Easlon (Eastland). Was there no family Bible left behind? No clues anywhere? My dad told me that he thought Tom Sr. came from Kentucky or Tennessee and since he had a daughter named Tennessee it makes sense. Anyone have any clues?

He also said that Tom Sr. was wounded in the Civil War, and that his dad, Nathaniel, told him that Tom walked with a limp.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Harriett Burke

warmsmile_2000 — 2002-04-22 04:32:22Z

Harriett Eliza Burke was my great-grandmother.
I have absolutely no info on the Burke line and I would greatly appreciate any that you could give me. You can e-mail me at Warmsmile_2000@yahoo.com or Warmsmile4@excite.com.

Harriet Burke

susanlawrence42 — 2002-03-22 03:31:29Z

Do you know the birthdate or parents for Harriet Burke? If she was born about 1847 in AL, she is the sister of my Narcissa Amanda Burke who also lived in Sevier Co, AR at the time of the Civil War. Parents were Reece and Sophia Burke. My email is SDL1177@cs.com. Would like to compare notes.

Narcissa Amanda Burke

susanlawrence42 — 2002-03-22 03:31:29Z

How did you find that your greatgrandmother's name was Narcissa? Do you know where in Arkansas she lived? And what was your greatgrandfather Cardwell's full name? It has to be the same person. she is the only one I've come across with that full name. I have her ancestors back many generations. Do you have their marriage date and place? What do you know about Dora? I've been hunting her for a year or more. Susan

Narcissa Dora

susanlawrence42 — 2002-03-22 03:31:29Z

Narcissa married Robert McDaniel Rodgers and had five children including a son Robert Hull Rodgers. Dora is her last child. Georgia is probably Dora's illegitimate child as Narcissa was much too old to have a child in 1898. Narcissa may have raised Georgia for the first two years but that is all. I have lots of information. Who was the Cardwell that she married? When and where or don't you know?

Hi, I'm the last Easlon in my family, my name won't carry past me. I have been extremely curious about my ancestory. My grandparents are Thomas Leroy Easlon, and Mary Ella Sloan. My great grandparents were James Easlon, and Olvetta Haney. That's as far back as I know on my father's side. Any information would help. Thank you!

Harriet E. Burke [b1847--Columbia Co., AR]

Arthur, look in USGenWeb Archives Digital Library. In Arkansas. type in Harriet Burke and you will find a marriage record for Thomas Eastland and Harriet Burke. They are our Thomas and Harriet. They got married in 1866 in Sevier Co. I think the first of their children was born in 1868 so I'm guessing that the name was changed between 1866 and '68. Thomas Sr. died in 1880.
