Note: This is Ambrose Easton's father and my great-grandfather. John Thomas Easton III and his wife George Ann had 8 sons and 1 daughter.
The below census information was found for John Thomas Easton*** born 3 April 1846 in Bullitt County, Ky. to John T.Easton (born 1822) and Lucinda Sanders Easton (born 1826). He married George Ann Welch from Bullitt County, Ky.
This can be confusing as there are THREE JOHN Easton's in our direct family line:
1. John Easton I born about 1790 in PA and was killed in Aurora, Dearborn County, Indiana by a Joseph Peters in a family quarrel on Christmas Day, December 25, 1840. His wife's name was Mary Ann Wallace.
This John Easton #1 is the great-great grandfather of Arnold "Buck Easton, Sally Easton Prather, Lula Mae "Dooley" Easton Tanner, Naomi Easton England, Thomas H. Easton, Kenneth "Johnny" Easton, James Russell Easton, and Linnie Mildred "Millie" Easton Melton.
2. John T. Easton II born 26 Sept 1822 in Dearborn County, IN to John T. and Mary Easton. Married Lucinda Sanders in Bullitt County 8 June 1845 and she is our direct relative. They had 8 children before she died at a young age of 32 years old on 17 May 1859. He married his second wife Julia Ann Hutcherson in Bullitt County, Ky. on 4 Dec 1860 and had 9 more children for a total of 17 children. Also, his name has been on census records and other records in several different ways: "John Thomas", "Thomas", "John", "J. Thomas", "J.T.".
This John Easton #2 is the great-grandfather of Arnold "Buck Easton, Sally Easton Prather, Lula Mae "Dooley" Easton Tanner, Naomi Easton England, Thomas H. Easton, Kenneth "Johnny" Easton, James Russell Easton, and Linnie Mildred "Millie" Easton Melton.
3. ***John Thomas Easton III*** born 3 April 1846 to John T. Easton and Lucinda Sanders in Bullitt County, Ky. He married George Ann Welch Lee in Ky or Missouri in 1873. In the census records for 1880 and 1900, they were living in Boone County, and on the census records for 1910 and 1920, they were living in Independence, Kenton County, Ky.
This John Easton III born 1846 is Ambrose Easton's father, therefore he is the grandfather of Arnold "Buck Easton, Sally Easton Prather, Lula Mae "Dooley" Easton Tanner, Naomi Easton England, Thomas H. Easton, Kenneth "Johnny" Easton, James Russell Easton, and Linnie Mildred "Millie" Easton Melton.
