Mary and her father Josiah are living only six houses away from Thomas Munsell Jr. and his father in 1820.  Both Thomas Munsell Sr. and Josiah Eastman were some of the very first settlers of Licking County, Ohio.  They came there with their families in 1815.  Mary had a sister Rosina, who married Elisha Belknap, and Nancy, who married into the Alward family.  Both Belknap and Alward families are living near Thomas Munsell and Mary Eastman in 1830.

She was born between 1800 and 1810 considering the 1830 & 1840 U.S. censuses, but if Josiah Eastman's 1820 census is taken into account, she would have been 16 or under in 1820. She was likely born around 1804.
This matches the Vermont birth record.
