Hi Eric,



Ever run into any "Easton"s married into your Nisbet line? I am not sure if
my Nisbet may have gotten his first name from his mother's maiden name or
not.



NISBET1 EASTON He married SARAH BAXTER.



Child of NISBET EASTON and SARAH BAXTER is:

2. i. ROBERT2 EASTON, b. 07 Jul 1789, Bathgate, W. Lothian,
Scotland.
