Macormack Charles Farrell Easmon, OBE, popularly known as M.C.F. Easmon or "Charlie" (11 April 1890 – 2 May 1972), was born in Accra in the Gold Coast (modern-day Ghana), where his father John Farrell Easmon, a prominent Creole doctor, was working at the time.
Macormack Charles Farrell Easmon was born on 11 April 1890 in Accra, Gold Coast, to Dr. John Farrell Easmon and his wife, Kathleen Annette Easmon (née Smith). Macormack Easmon descended from prominent Sierra Leonean families and had numerous ancestors who distinguished themselves in the civil service and medical field. Easmon was named "McCormack" or "MacCormac" after his great-grandfather John MacCormac, who was the uncle of Dr. William MacCormac.
Dr. John Farrell Easmon (1856-1900) was a prominent Sierra Leonean doctor with a distinguished medical career who was the first West African to serve as Chief Medical Officer of a British West African territory. The Easmon family descended from the original settlers of the Freetown Colony, the Nova Scotian Settlers. Macormack Easmon's paternal uncle was Dr. Albert Whiggs Easmon, a prominent gynaecologist in Freetown. Through his maternal lineage, Dr. J. F. Easmon was descended from the MacCormac family and was a nephew of Sir William MacCormac.
William Smith Jr. was the son of Judge William Smith, a Yorkshireman who settled on the Gold Coast and was a judge in the Mixed Commissionary Court in Freetown. Anne Spilsbury was the daughter of Joseph Green Spilsbury and Hannah Carew. J. G. Spilsbury's father was Dr. George Green Spilsbury, a distant relative of Bernard Spilsbury, and Elizabeth "Betsy" Fowler, a Jamaican Maroon woman. Hannah Carew was the daughter of Thomas and Betsy Carew, both Liberated Africans.
