Looking for information on the 4th son of Richard and Susanna Lush Eastman of Pinchards Island and later Gambo. William married Agnes (Aggie) Phillips of Gander Bay. At least 2 sons were living at Gander Bay in 1935. George Leamington Eastman who married Drusilla and his brother Bennett who married Gertrude ? William was just recently found and put together in a family chart. The link below is Bennett's grandson Melvin Eastman.

Hi
This William T Eastman is missing from my records for that family. I am assuming that he fits between Sarah (1863) and Mary Jane (1877) and would make a total of 9 children for this family?

Hi - me again
Just noticed in this obituary it gives Bennett Eastman's wife as Sarah ? not Gertrude. Could be he was married twice?

This not a family I am researching but may be able to help with the Gertrude and Sarah issue. There seems to be two Bennett Eastmans.
Sydney Bennett Eastman married to Gertrude is buried in Glenwood, NL and Bennett G Eastman who married Sarah Ann Brown is buried in Gambo, NL

That is correct Stan. Uncle Bennett in Gambo was Bennett George. Bennett of Gander Bay was Sydney Bennett. Uncle Bennett was one of 8 children at Gambo but only 3 lived to maturity. William was born between Susan and Mary Jane Eastman. Susan died at Safe Harbour at 32 yrs.
