Following on from last nights talk by Ian Platt FRPS etc. I mentioned that the Eastman family came from Downton. After some time I tracked down the family eight generations back and got the link. See below.
The Eastman family was in Charlton {spelled Charelton above}, "Dounton Manor" as early as 1539. It is in these tumultuous times we begin the tracing of the Eastman name.*
