"...One other thing I noticed - when I read over the entry in "Sons and daughters of the Pilgrams," I saw that (4632) Roger Eastman's wife was listed as (4533) Sarah Keene. Both Sarah Keene and Sarah Keene have been mentioned as Roger's wife..."

"(4632) Roger was born in Wales, England [sic], in 1611. He is believed to have been the sole ancestor of all the Eastmans. No record of his marriage has been found, or of his wifes full name, and it is only by tradition that it is said to be Smith. This is according to the book, History and Genealogy of Deacon Joseph Eastman of Hadley, Mass., by M. Emily Eastman 1908. Sarah, his wife was born in 1621 and died March 11, 1697. Roger died Dec.16, 1694. Both died in Salisbury, Mass. I hope this helps in some way. Sherry"

...In the 1920s Roger Eastman's original christening record was found in the chuch of Downton, a small village just outside Salisbury, [Wiltshire,] England. The same church contains christening and/or marriage records of several other passengers on the same ship that transported Roger to Salisbury, Massachusetts. It appears that all the passengers on board the ship Confidence in 1638 were from the Salisbury area."

"...The new settlement by the Merrimac was founded largely by Wiltshire emigrants, and a number of these, including heads of families by the names of Rolfe, Sanders, Whittier and Eastman, came from the parish of Downton...
"The Downton parish register was first searched for Eastman records by the present writer in the summer of 1910, and some notes on the origin of the family were published in the Granite Monthly, a New Hampshire magazine, for December of that year and the following October. Thanks to the generosity of Mr. George Eastman of Rochester, New York, it was possible to engage the services of an expert antiquary, Mr. Charles H. Hoppin, for the purpose of making a complete transcript of early Eastman family records preserved in Wiltshire archives. From the large quantity of material collected by this historian a selection has been made relating to the direct ancestral line to which the pioneer colonist Roger belongs, and this is included in the present article. Much more space than is here available would be required to contain all the extant information..."

"The foregoing document proves that the testator had only six grandchildren living in 1564, all of whom were minors. Two of the grandson were named William, one of whom belonged to the Family of (18528) Roger-2 Eastman and lived at Charleton, in the parish of Downton, and the other, who was son of the testator's executor, at Weeke, in the same parish. Concerning the family that lived at Weeke, it will be sufficient to note that (37057i_b) William-3 Eastman ([37057i] William-2, [37056] John-1), was twice married, first in 1599, to (37057i_b[1]) Elizabeth Kempe, and secondly to (37057i_b[2]) Edith ------, family name not found, who died in 1619. Downton parish records give the following as his children:
"i. William -4, b. ----; d. 1606
"...Other offspring, however, must have been born subsequent to the year 1564, for we find at the time of Roger 's death, in February 1604, he, being then a widower, had eight children living whose names are known to us, and at least eight grandchildren. Besides these heirs, a married (18529iv) daughter of Roger-2 , who had been the wife of one (18529iv[1]) William Skeate , executor under the will of Roger-2 , had previously deceased. Downton parish records show that Roger-2 Eastman was buried Feb 17, 1604. His will, dated Jan 11, of the same year, was proved six days following his death.
"The injury to [Roger's] will itself is of such nature that a portion of the left hand margin has been torn away... The names of one or two of the beneficiaries are unfortunately lost, ...but from other sources ...one of them [is] (18529ii) William , who was either the eldest or second son. There are named as executor the testator's son-in-law, William Skeate , and as overseers "my well-beloved sonns Walter Eastman ye eldr & (18529i) John Eastman." The remaining heirs, named in the order of their mention, were (9264) Nicholas and Roger Eastman, four Skeate granchildren, and Mary, Edith and Thomas Eastman. Witnesses to the will were John Bebmaton, Thomas Fursley, Walter Eastman and John Eastman. A seal is attached, bearing the device of a talbot passant."
