The inscription only says "Infant son of Holman and Ruth Eastes No Dates.

Leonidas L. Eastes, son of Holman Eastes and Ruth Webb. He appears on the 1850 census that was indexed on September 5, 1850. He is 1 month old, so we can assume he was born in August of 1850.

His date of death is not known, but his grave says he is an infant, so likely about 1850-1851. Dates for the death are a guess only based on the last and only time he appeared in a record. The birth is based on his age again in the 1850 census.

The next child born after Leonidas was my grandfather Marshall T Eastes born on May 29th 1851 on Hancock County. The only other baby lost to death in this family was Jerome Eastes 1861-1863, but he was born and died in Madison County, Indiana. Albert died age 9 and Addison died age 18.
