Father	Warren Eastman, b. 19 May 1821, Parsonsfield, York County, Maine, United States d. 9 Jan 1908, Exeter, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, United States (Age 86 years)
Mother	Rachel Young Cole, b. 12 Jan 1832, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States d. 23 Jan 1916, Exeter, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, United States (Age 84 years)
Marriage	10 Jun 1849	Quincy, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States [12]
Notes	“10 Mar 1849” and “Chelsea, Suffolk County, Massachusetts”, derived from [LDS-IGI-1982c], are probably references to the date and location of Warren and Rachel’s registration of their intention to marry... not their actual marriage. [13] [NEHGS-1849a] does not actually state that Warren Eastman and Rachel Young Cole were married in Quincy, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, but the location is assumed due to the following: Rachel and Warren were residents of Chelsea at the time; the marriage was registered in Quincy, and the officiating pastor was also from Quincy.

Notes

Rachel “Lettie” (Eastman) Eldridge passed away at Exeter Cottage Hospital 2 days after she was admitted. Strangely, her death certificate seems to have been filled out by someone other than her husband, and although Rachel is listed as being married, a reference to Frank L Eldridge was omitted. [14]
