Re: Possible typo
The most obvious possibility is that it's a mistake for Easter. My Oxford surname dictionary also has Eastaugh, Easto, Eastoe, and Estaugh as English surnames meaning "dweller at the east enclosure". Perhaps it's a mistake for one of those, or for Eastes, which is another surname just meaning "dweller to the east".
