Alexander Eastlick served in the Revolutionary War, enlisting in Monmouth County, New Jersey. After his service, he married Elizabeth Britten and they raised five children: John, William, Frances, Elizabeth and Jacob. The family resided for a few years in New Jersey, then moved to Upper Smithfield, Pennsylvania (in what was Northampton then Wayne County), and then to Reading, Steuben County, New York (Reading is now in Schuyler County). After Alexander's death, Elizabeth moved with her sons John and Jacob and their families to Trumbull County, Ohio, where it is believed she died.
There is no known burial record for Alexander Eastlick. It is possible he was buried on his property in Reading Township. In any case, no headstone exists that we know of. The Old Reading cemetery in Reading Centre was the final resting place of many of the old original settlers of that area, and is as likely a place as any for Alexander Eastlick.
Alexander and Elizabeth (Britten) Eastlick had the following children:
John Eastlick, married Elizabeth Stryker.
William Eastlick, first wife name unknown, second wife Jane McDonald.
Frances (Fanny) Eastlick, married John Stryker.
Elizabeth (Betsy) Eastlick, unknown marriage.
Jacob Eastlick, married Hannah Stryker.
