Re: Eastway and Bates families mix

I have been researching the Eastways on and off for more than 20 years and am now trying to locate the families that came with James Bates Eastway and Patty Dale to New York in 1832. I have all the descendents of James and Patty but would like to know about James' other siblings. Was Conrad Eastway (who came with him on the ship Columbia in 1832) a brother? What happened to him? Also, when and where did James' father, Elias die?
Willing to share as much as I have.
