Let me offer a copy of my GEDCOM file if you (anyone is) are interested.It's bulky (2,000 individuals) and not particularly easy to use.The following information on Chesley Luther Easterwood and family is a combination of sources:

2.) 1880 Milam Co., TX Census, 4 June, 1880, Dwelling 103-103, listed with William Edward Easterwood (born 1823) as "nephew".
3.) Death Certificate #54943 in Dallas Co., TX confirms DOD.
