Note: 1840 Pickens Co., AL Census, Page 15 with his father Charles Easterwood. "The Easterwoods" Page 191A. 11/3/00 Margaret Mitchell records "Military Service: Served in CSA" "The Easterwoods" Page 34. 7/4/01 - Genforum Easterwood Family 3/30/00 Posting by Martha Curry (mkjrcurry@aol.com) 10/25/03 - from http://www.rootsweb.com/~arclebur/csaroh2.htm, "Battle of Falling Waters, Mississippi, Second Regiment Mississippi Infantry Corpl G. M. Easterwood, Co. G. Private J. M. Nunnelee, Co. H." 7/4/04 e-messge from Martha Kirkley Curry (mkjrcurry@aol.com) provides extensive information on George Marion Easterwood. "He was in many important battles during the Civil War. Notes from my grandmother, Sarah Virginia Rotton White "At the Battle of Manassas Mr. Easterwood saw the famous General Bee shot down from ambush. At Gettysburg, he commanded his regiment as fifth Sargent, his superiors having been killed in the engagement, he was wounded twice at Sharpsburg and was in the hospital at the end of the war." "The names, dates and places of birth for their children I got from Sally Montgomery". "This is a copy of part of the e that I received from Sally Montgomery on 9/18/2000. I have tried to contact her since that time and did not receive a reply." "George Marion Easterwood, b. 11 Feb. 1840, Coffordsville, Lowndes Co, Miss, d. 14 Nov. 1925, Conway, Faulkner County, AR. Married on 15 Jan 1847 to Martha Elizabeth McCraw, b. 23 June, 1947 in Pontotoc, Miss., d. 26 Feb. 1934, Conway, AR. Their children Charles b. 7 Jan. 1869 Born & died in Miss. Baron b. 27 Aug. 1879 b&d in Miss. Loney A. b. 7 July 1872 b&d in Miss. Clarence Edward b. 1875 in Pickles Gap, AR d. Shreveport, LA married May Peyton Sarah Elizabeth [Bessie] b. 14 May, 1878 Pickles Gap, AR d. 7 Sept. 1960 in Little Rock, AR William b. 12 Apr. 1880 in AR d. in AR Virginia b. 10 Dec. 1882 in AR d. in AR Apparently George Marion and Martha Elizabeth came to Arkansas after the deaths of their first three children. They moved to Conway, AR from Pickles Gap rather early and spent the remainder of their lives in Conway. I understand that he has a bad leg as a result of being wounded at Gettysburg. He was a Justice of the Peace in Conway for many years. Only two of their children lived to marry and have children: Clarence and Bessie. Clarence has two sons, both deceased and three grandsons ond one granddaughter. Two grandsons live in Shreveport, one has died, and the granddaughter was living in Fort Worth, TX the last I heard. If you are interested, I can give you more information on these decendents. I really need to update my records as well. Sarah Elizabeth [Bessie] who married James Alexander Montgomery had six children, including my husband. There are many grandchildren and greatgrandchildren and I can send you that information if you like."
