William Mosby Eastland was born in Kentucky to Thomas Butler and Nancy Mosby Eastland. The Eastland, Dawson and Moore families were related and it is believed that after John Henry Moore migrated to Texas he wrote to his family and friends describing the great opportunities and possibilities to be found in Texas.
