Zachariah Eastin (1777–1852) was an Officer in the War of 1812. He fought at the battles of Tippecanoe, River Basin and Thames. He retired from the Army as a Brigadier-General.
==Family==
Eastin was born January 17, 1777 in Goochland County, Virginia. He was the second son of Augustine Eastin and Mary S. Ford. He married Nancy A Durbin on October 25, 1798. They had eight children: Mary F., Henry J., Louisa A. (Stubblefield), Edward F., Cassandra M. (Rankin), Robert, Thomas and William A.. He died on January 14, 1852 in Henderson, Kentucky.
Zachariah Eastin's father, Augustine Eastin, was a Baptist preacher. He was convicted and jailed in Richmond, Virginia, for preaching to British soldiers. He was threatened with being shot if he persisted. Zachariah was seven when his family moved to Bourbon County, Kentucky. This was during the time Boonesborough and Bryant's Station were established by the leaders of the Euro-American incursion into Shawnee lands. In 1792 Augustine participated in a committee that was in charge of enabling Kentucky to separate from Virginia. Augustine and his other committee members, James Garrard and Ambrose Dudley, reported to the Elkhorn Baptist Association in favor of forbidding slavery in the Kentucky Constitution under development for the new state. Slavery was the major issue discussed at the 1792 drafting convention.
Zachariah’s sons, Henry J. Eastin, Robert Eastin, Thomas Eastin, and William A. Eastin all became civil engineers. Henry J Eastin was one of the first engineers to be employed by the State of Kentucky during the period of internal improvements. The other sons constructed other things around Kentucky such as: a saw and grist water mill through the use of a Dam on the Green River, at Spottsville, Kentucky.(5)
