George Meade Easby
George Gordon Meade Easby (June 3, 1918 – December 11, 2005), also known as Meade or Mr. Easby, was a multi-talented person, from an artist to acting and producing films. He also served as an employee of the U.S. State Department for over twenty-five years and as a talk host on an AM radio station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Easby was the great-grandson of General George Meade, victor of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg against Robert E. Lee, and a descendant of seven signers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence.〔 Easby's mother was a descendant of Nicholas Waln, who came to Philadelphia in 1682 aboard the ship ''Welcome'' with William Penn, and was later given the section of the city now known as Frankford.〔〔 〕
==Early life and family background==
Easby was born on 3 June 1918〔 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father was Major May Stevenson Easby, a banker in Philadelphia and World War I hero.〔 Easby's mother was Henrietta Meade Large Easby, described as "prim and reserved, a Victorian lady of few words".〔(The Baleroy Mansion )〕 He also had a younger brother Steven who died at a very young age in 1931 from some type of childhood disease.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=May Stevenson Easby, Jr )〕 The family "traces its roots to Easby Abbey in 12th Century Yorkshire, England; that crossed over to America in 1683 aboard the Welcome with William Penn, and that counts among its descendants three - "at least three that I know of," says Easby - signers of the Declaration of Independence." General George Meade, victor of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War, was Easby's great-grandfather through Meade's daughter. "My mother's mother was General (George G.) Meade's daughter," said Easby.〔
