Loose Estes Branches ==================== (c) David Powell. Last update: 24/4/2008 Each loose "branch" is seperated by a row of asterisks. Sources for each section can be found at the end of that section, except when the sources appear only as numbers (ie: [203] as distinct from [a11]). Those sources can be found in the Abraham Estes file. If any of the following branches are yours and you can add to them, feel free to send me additonal information. More importantly, if you have any ideas as to the origins of any of these branches, do let me know - there will be quite a few other's who'd be most interested as well! One "loose branch" is not listed here and that's the descendents of Moses Estes who first appeared in Pendleton Co, SC. A considerable number of descendents are known for him and his descendent chart appears in a seperate file. I do have more loose branches than what appears below and in some cases more members of the branches. Adding material in does take time however, so please be patient! :) For details on layout etc please refer to the Abraham Estes file, which can be reached via: http://www.roots-boots.net/ft/estes.html I can be reached at: David Powell, NOTE: If you found this page by a search engine or were given the URL and you cannot ==== find an individual or family that *was* here, then go to the above URL and then check the relevant "connected Estes" file. Once I connect one of the families below they are removed from this file. ****************************************************************** There is some uncertainity about this family. [a1] claims George & Green were born in Obion Co, TN, however there were no Estes in the county prior to the 1870 census. There were Eastridges in the county as early as 1830, however that surname (and variants) dwindled and by 1870 only Samuel Eastridge (c.1820) was left, along with his wife. Samuel was still in the county in 1880, but with a younger wife (still no children). Samuel may not even be connected with the earlier Estridges - he does not seem to be present in the 1860 census. In the 1860 census there were no adult Estridges, only what appears to be 5 orphans. None even slightly matching George & Green Estes, below. There was one Estes family in the county in 1870, however George & Green were not part of this family. Consequently it is fairly certain that George & Green arrived in Obion Co during the 1870's. To further complicate the issue, according to the 1880 census Tennessee was actually married to George and not Green, however that is not born out by the marriage records. Presumably the census has mixed the two brothers up. Despite Green marrying in Obion Co in 1869, I have been unable to find him in the Obion Co 1870 census. Was he missed or was he in a neighbouring county at the time? There is no trace of George prior to his marriage in 1883. He was not in Obion in the 1880 census. While there are several George Estes of the right age in the 1880 census elsewhere in TN, all but one, a G. D. Estes of Wilson Co, had families and at this stage there is no evidence that George had a previous marriage. There is a George & Green Estes in McNairy Co, TN in the 1860 census, however they are not the George & Green below. There is only one Green Estes, born 1850+/-5 in the 1860 census. There is a George and William Eustice in Blount Co, TN, who are about the right ages (1846 & 1850 as compared to 1845 & 1851 for George & Green. Blount Co is, however, on the opposite end of TN. George & William of Blount Co were born NC and were living, along with a sister, Nancy (1848) in the household of William Hogue.[1860 census, ancestry.com] There were no other Estes in Blount Co, TN in 1860 and no Estes in either 1850 or 1870. There are no George Estes in KY in the 1860 census with a younger brother, Green or William. Obion Co borders on KY. It would appear that George and Green, below, were in fact the George & William G. Eustice in Blount Co in 1860. Attempts to find them in the 1850 NC census have failed and since they appear to have been orphans in 1860, prospects for finding their parentage are dim. William Hogue appears to be the William Hagie in Rockingham Co, NC in 1850. There are no Estes in Rockingham Co in that census. :.

However, whilst the above were listed as living at Troy (Hornbeack according to [a1]), Joseph, John & William were living at Wilsonville. John & William may be sons of Joseph, however they are missing from earlier census'. "Claudette" is my own interpretation of Joseph's wife's name from the 1870 census image. There is also no entry for John (or William) in the 1860-1869 Obion Marriage list.[a2] Joseph could be the "Joseph H. ESTES of Pittsylvania Co, VA", a CSA Captain, s/o Benjamin Estes & Eliza Dix, of the same county. Despite the 1880 census claiming all the children were botn in TN, I have been unable to find Joseph in the 1860 TN census. He does appear, however, in the 1850 census. :.. Joseph H.

Source: Cinda Fleming. ****************************************************************** A number of sources give additional children for Joseph, namely the Asa, Hiram & Joseph Estes who appear in Bollinger Co, MO in the early 1800's. Their parentage has been confirmed as belonging elsewhere. The use of the name "Brazil" which also occurs in the families of those 3 brothers suggests a possible connection since it is such an unusual name, however to date no evidence to indicate an actual connection has been found. According to [15] & other sources, Brazil or Joseph Brazil (he used the two names interchangably) was born c.1754, which would fit his claim that he served in the Revolutionary War. It would also have provided time to have fathered additional children. In the 1820 census, Brazil was listed as being "over 45yo", he was also living with a son, 26-45yo. His known sons were born after this, although the census figure may be in error. Brazil appears to have been a widower by 1820. Records variously mention Joseph Estes, Brazil [etc] Estes and Joseph Brazil Estes. All three names have some connection with Estill Co, KY, and seem to have been used interchangably. There are no known candidates for Joseph in the main Estes tree, it is possible that he was an emigrant. Whilst the Christian names of his children do suggest an Anglo origin, another origin cannot be ruled out. Pending the results of DNA tests, it is not even certain that Joseph was part of the "Estes/Eastes" family. :.

Some have speculated that John was the son of Abraham, the emigrant, however his fate has been established elsewhere. Abraham was not the only Estes to emigrate to the Southern States, however there is no evidence that the other Estes emigrants left a surviving male line (ie:the names died out). John may have been the John Estes who appeared in Richmond Co, VA in 1692.[463] Hyde Co, NC was also home to a large number of Esteridge families and it is possible (and in fact the most likely scenario) that John is actually an Esteridge/Etheridge. Just as some Estes adopted the Esteridge/ Etheridge spelling, some Esteridge/Etheridge's adopted the Estes spelling, as did some Easts, Estill's, Easters and other phonetically similar surnames. By 1850 there was no trace of Estes in Hyde Co, NC. Note also that in the 1600's there were a number of Eustace's residing in the colonies, notably in Westmoreland and Northumberland Co's, VA.[e3] It is also possible that John was a Eustace. In 1698 a John Eustace Jr was the executor of his father's will, John Eustace Sr.[e3] :. John ESTES (?-1732); d.Hyde Co, NC [463,e1] :. +Mary (?-1751); d.Hyde Co, NC [463,e1] :..

Whether they were originally Estes or Estridge and adopted the other spelling latter, remains to be determined. I have no other Wyatt Estes before 1800. The next earliest use of that name was in the 1830's. In the mid 1850's there were three Estes girls that married, Amanda M (1853 to William B. Webb), Emily (1856 to Daniel White) and Lerch Ann (1855, to Jackson Rodgers).[5] They are presumably 3 of the 4 un-named daughters of John & Leonard born in the 1830's. :...

Lily Johnson (1879) of Atlanta, Fulton Co, GA [1117] ****************************************************************** This family grouping, as supplied, seemed a bit odd. James is given with a wife, Eunice Williams, and she is claimed to have been alive in 1850 yet she is not living with James (who is in the census living alone), in fact there is no Eunice Estes in the 1850 or 1860 TX census (or any Eunice with a last name beginning with E or even vaguely similar to Estes). James is listed, living nextdoor to Edmond and Elizabeth (living with a neighbour). Josephine (1835) is missing (not in TX), presumably either having died or married (unlikely since she would be just 15 in 1850). The 1830,1840 TX census' are unavailable. James is in the 1820 Lincon Co, TN census, however he is not in either Davidson or Lincoln in 1830 (I checked all James' in those counties). Nor does he seem to be elsewhere in TN. According to the 1850 census James Jr was born in TN, the next known child, Josephine, was apparently born 1836 in TX. The suggests the possibility that James moved to TX *before* 1830. According to [833] James had two additional daughters, born before 1810. This is not, however, born out by an examination of the actual 1820 census images, so I believe they are a mistake. From where the name of James' wife and the claim they were in Davidson Co in 1830? An examination of the 1830 Davidson census indicates no James Estes, however there is a Eunice Estes, born between 1881/1889, along with two sons born 1811/1815, another 1826/1830, 3 daughters born between 1821/1830 and another between 1816/1820. Also living with Eunice is an older woman, born 1861/1870, likely either Eunice's mother or mother-in-law. The ages and number of the children almost match and there's no elderly female with James in 1820 (albeit she could have arrived afterwards). The scenario is then that James (1820) and Eunice (1830) were the same family, with James having left for Texas and the rest of his family following a few years latter. James middle initial is variously given in different census records. It is given as D in the 1850 census. :. James D.

Prior to then it was indian territory. The parentage of John is unknown. All grandsons of Abraham, the emigrant, are known by name and apart from John, the s/o Sylvester, all the John's can be ruled out. Sylvester's son was born between 1710-1730. Nothing more is known of him and he may have died young. Apart from Sylvester's branch, none of Abraham's great-grandson's are old enough to be John, below. John could be a son of Thomas (s/o Sylvester) who settled in Orange Co, NC and had at least two sons prior to 1740. He is not the son of Ephraim (all identified), nor Abraham (too young) and Aaron moved to eastern NC so is an unlikely father. That leaves the remaining sons of Sylvester of whom nothing is known other than their names (and for whom I have seen no concrete evidence that they existed), namely Elisha, Joel, Caleb, Samuel and John. The only name we have in the second generation apart from John, namely Richard, is extremely rare in Sylvester's branch, with the possible exception of Samuel's branch the first Richard was born 1864. The most likely possibility, albeit a rather weak one, is that Samuel may have been the Samuel Estor/Eustes who appeared in Caswell Co, NC with possible sons Henry, Richard, Bird and Bartlett. This list of names for Samuel's sons came from his will dated 1797, which may be after the death of John, below, and in either case need not be a complete list. In a further supposition Samuel may have had another son, John, born before 1740. Since Samuel was born before 1717, this is possible. Of course, John may have been an Estep, an Etheridge, an East or he may have emigrated from England or be from the New England branch of the family. In addition to John's family, below, there were several other Estes families with a Wilkes & Ashe Co, NC connection. Reuben Estes (1738-1811) seems to have spent a year or so in Wilkes Co, appearing there as a landowner in 1779. Reuben left Virginia after 1764, was in Orange Co, NC by 1776, then Caswell Co, NC for a few years before settling in Burke Co, NC, where he founded an extensive and well researched family. Reuben appears in the 1777-1780 Caswell Co tax lists, so likely never actually lived in Wilkes Co. Three brothers, Ephraim, Henry & Nathaniel, sons of William Estes, himself a son of Ephraim Sr, son of Sylvester Estes, settled in Wilkes Co as early as 1799 and remained there for several generations. The other Estes with a Wilkes Co connection was the widow of Abraham Estes, son of Sylvester (and so uncle of Nathaniel, Henry & Ephraim who settled in Wilkes Co in 1799). Elizabeth Estes is mentioned in the Wilkes Co records as being excused from paying taxes from 1877 to 1888. Abraham may have had a son, John, but this John was in Granville Co and aside from that, Abraham was born 1732, so too young to have been the father of John, below. The fact that apart from Reuben, all the other Estes with a Wilkes Co connection are from the family of Sylvester Estes does suggest that John, below, was also part of this branch of the family. Which son of Sylvester was the father of John remains unknown and, given the paucity of the surviving records of that time, may never be known. : John ESTES (bt.1734/1739-c.1790/1791); Wilkes Co, NC 1777,1779,1784,1785,1787,1790 [o4,o6] : (1784 tax list has him excused from paying taxes due to "old age & infirmities", : which means he was over 45yo.

Parentage unknown, although apparently born in VA. Also appearing in the 1820 Scott Co, KY census is a Thomas H. Estes. Curious given William had a son named Thomas H. Estes. Thomas Sr was born 1785 and the s/o John Estes of Spotsylvania Co, VA. John does not appear to have had a son, William, so the use of the name "Thomas H. Estes" may just be a coincidence or named after a counsin, of some unknown degree. Abraham Estes & Louisa Timberlake of Louisa Co, VA, did have a son, William, born 1791. Nothing further is known of this William. Just as likely he is a current unknown. :.. William ESTES (1794-1855) of VA; Scott Co, KY 1820; d.Scott Co, KY [1418,p1,p2,p4] :..

They do not belong to any of the known families living in Culpepper Co, VA, in the late 1800's and are likely siblings, from an, as yet, unresolved branch of the family. James is probably another sibling. He appears in KY around the same time as Abraham and moves to MO again around the same time. Note that one of Abraham's sons moves to Pike Co, along with James, further strengthening the possible relationship. James may have moved to MO around 1830 if George (1831) is his son. An examination of the 1850 census indicates the family group given by [q6] for James is actually two families, living in different parts of the county. In 1850 Barton is living in the same town as James, tho' not close neighbours. Sarah, Hester & Mary have likely married by 1850. Hannah may have married young or died young. Samuel is not present in the 1850 census. In the 2nd family grouping, Abel may be a son of Robert, but more likely, given the ages, he is Robert's brother. Robert & Abel were adjacent to each other in 1850. [q6] suggests Fielding is another son of James. Fielding was in the 1850 census, living alone and in the same township as Robert, suggesting a more likely connection with that family. Robert & Abel seem to follow James & co from KY to MO suggesting a connection, although this is entirely speculative at this stage. :....

Moses was probably born around 1790. There are no Estes listed in the 1820,1830 Dickson Co, TN census (at least on the ancestry.com index). The family first appears in 1840 (Jesse), no trace of the rest of the family in Dickson in 1840. Lucy remarried to Joshua Cattey. She does not appear in the 1840 census so presumably had married Joseph Cattey before then. She does not appear in the 1830 census, however she had "Estes" children during the 1830's so was likely living in a common-law relationship. Joseph Cattey's first wife appears to have been alive as late as 1838, so Lucy was evidently not living with him. Moses is absent from the 1820 TN census, which merely indicates he was not the head of a household but living with someone else. Living in Davidson as heads of household in 1820 were Laban & John C. Estes. John C. was living with a woman 20 years his junior and no others. Possibly a younger wife or a daughter. No males living with him. Laban (1783) was the s/o Moses Estes Jr of Halifax Co, VA. Moses, below, cannot be Moses Jr's son (ie: a brother of Laban), however it is quite possible he is a nephew of Laban, possibly the son of either George or Bartlett (the other brothers of Laban would have been too young). According to [1216] Moses was the s/o John Estes, s/o Moses Estes. This Moses however died in 1815, so the claim by [1216] is in error. :.

Copy from Shirley, . ****************************************************************** According to [15] James, William & John were brothers, father not stated. They were all in the north of Halifax Co, living near each other. In 1863 James aquires and then sells land belonging to Mary Estes. Living near the three in 1850 was a Mary Eastes, born 1786, of an age to be their mother (presumably widowed). She was living next door to William. This could have been Ann Moore who married a John Estes in 1811 (Ann - Mary Ann?). Possibly sons of John, son of Abraham Estes & Nellie Organ. Abraham & Nellie settled in the north of Halifax & one of their sons was living near the three brothers in 1850. John was alive in 1849, but not in north Halifax in 1850. There was a John in southern Halifax in 1850 of the right age, however he3 belongs to a different line. [1009] states John was dead by 1850, although no details or source were given. Of lower probability, the three may be sons of either William or John, sons of Bartlett (d.1803). William & John were born about 1790 - William however likely married in 1815, moved to the southern Halifax and had a son, William Jr, in 1830. Alternatively, the three may be grandsons of George Jr. George Jr settled in northern Halifax in the 1780's with at least two sons born in the early to mid 1780's, one of whom may have been a Bartlett. A record of a debt in 1859 suggests that James (& thus William & John) possibly had a sister, Elizabeth, who married a Drummond.[1010] In 1850 Elizabeth (b.1809) lives with two other Drummond women, both around 60yo.

This Bartlett was referred to as Bartlett Sr in 1816. The only other known Bartlett who was in Halifax in 1816 was then a child and moved to TN in either 1828 or 1829, after marrying in Halifax in 1828. The 1837 settlement of Moses Estes Jr's estate does not include a Bartlett in the (living) heirs of Moses' son, Bartlett, also the Bartlett below was in Halifax in 1841, yet was not ordered to appear before the court as were the other adult descendents of Moses Jr who were then living in Halifax. Together, this suggests that if Bartlett 'Sr' had a son, Bartlett 'Jr', then the latter was dead by 1837 and so cannot be the Bartlett living in Halifax Co from 1841 to 1860. 'Sr' does not mean he was the father of Bartlett Jr, simply that the two were living reasonably close and one was older than the other. The Bartlett below was living in the south of Halifax Co in 1850 and Bartlett s/o Moses Jr also lived in the south. If the younger Bartlett was living in Halifax in 1816 then he would almost certainly have been known as Bartlett Jr, whether he was related or not. Also to be taken into consideration is that there was only the one reference to the older Bartlett as 'Sr'. In all subsequent references he is named just as Bartlett, which suggests that the Bartlett Jr in 1816 either left the county or died soon after. Most likely the latter. While Bartlett is not a rare Estes name, there are no unaccounted strays from other Estes branches and it is likely that this Bartlett is connected with one of the Estes groups living in Halifax in the first half of the 1800's, if not also the late 1700's. The exclusion of Bartlett & Rachael (above) eliminates the family group of Moses Estes Sr. The family group of John Estes Sr were in the north and only one branch was in Halifax after 1790 and this mystery Bartlett is not a s/o Abraham Estes & Nelly Organ. In the family group of Robert Jr, son Samuel Sr. moved to south Halifax between 1810 and 1813. In 1800 Samuel had two un-named sons, one born 1784-1794 and the other born 1795-1800. Samuel had a brother, Bartlett (but who did not have a son, Bartlett), so the name was in the family. The older of the two un-named sons is, IMO, the most likely candidate for this Bartlett. The other family with Halifax connections at this time is that of George Estes Sr. George's son, George Jr, was in Halifax by 1800 with two un-named sons, one born before 1782, the other born between 1782-1785. The latter is another candidate, tho' this family were living in the north of Halifax & there is no trace of them (so far) after 1800. :...

It's possible that they may be Estes - some branches of the Estes family adopted the name Eastridge or variants thereof. Consequently I am including this family here, even tho' their connection to the Estes family is questionable. James, the first of the family below, had a son Jeremiah. A possible Estes connection is that there was a Jeremiah Estes of Nash Co, NC who used the name Etheridge and Eastridge. Jeremiah was born before 1755 and died 1809. Could James have been his son? All that's known of James' origin is that he came either from VA or the Carolina's. :.

Which John or what county is not specified. I consider this doubful since, given the census details cited, John would be in his 70's when Duncan was born. [q2] Queries index card, held by Danville Hist. Soc., VA, covering the Piedmont area of VA and parts of NC (eg: Caswell Co). Copy forwarded by Roberta Estes, . Suggests Duncan was the s/o Jonathan Estes of Caroline Co, VA. Johnathan's wife was born 1772, so cannot be the mother of a child born 1821 and a child born 1814 is stretching it as well. Also, Johnathan moved to SC & there's no evidence for an additional son. [q3] Information from Glen Steiner, .

Family lore passed down several (but not all) lines of descent from Ephraim suggest the possibility of a Cherokee Indian connection, however there is no evidence to verify this. While there is no evidence that Ephraim had Indian ancestry, his wife, Mary Snider, was part Cherokee, which may be the source of the family lore. In 1810 there were two Easter's living in Cumberland Co, KY, both born around 1784. It is possible that these two Easter's, James and Samuel, were brothers of Ephraim and that Ephraim joined them after his stint in the "1812 war" (which lasted for far more than one year). Living with James was an older woman, born before 1765. Likely either the mother or mother-in-law of James (and presumably also Samuel). James had two sons, 1800/1810, and two daughters 1800/1810. Samuel had two sons and one daughter in the same age ranges. Samuel born bt.1784/1790, James born before 1784, but likely not much earlier given the age spread of his children. Wives of both were born bt.1784/1794.[@3] James was possibly in Monroe Co, KY in 1841.[@5] Wiley is another Easter with Franklin Co, VA connections. DNA indicates he is not related to Ephraim. Apart from those listed below, no other Easter's are found in the 1880 Franklin Co, VA census, or in any neighbouring counties. There are, however, 254 Easter's listed in the state of VA for 1880, so it is likely to be a distinct surname (ie: not Estes, apart from an occasional miss-spelling). An Ephraim Easters applied for a land grant in Franklin Co, GA in 1786.[@12] What connection, if any, between this Ephraim and the one below is unknown. :.. ? :.. +Martha ?

Willis is also absent from the census so I suspect it is a matter of the family either being missed by the census or being entered under a sufficiently strange variation of the name that it does not show up with a soundex search of "Estes".

How reliable this is is questionable. By 1860 Elizabeth Addison, nee Estes, was living in Floyd Co, GA with her daughter & son-in-law. No trace of the family in Floyd Co in 1850 - presumably still then in Anderson Co. Living close to Cleveland in the 1840 census (on the next page) was Micajah Estes, born 1804 & grandson of Moses Estes of Pendleton District. This could just be coincidence or it may suggest a family relationship. If the latter, then Cleveland would be a currently unknown son of Moses. According to Charles Estes "Estes Genealogies", Moses had several sons who'se names were unknown to him. About the time Micajah moved to GA, Cleveland vanishes from the Anderson Co records and his daughter appears in GA, alas not the same county as Micajah. Possibly again coincidence or a family group making the passage down to GA. If Cleveland was the son of Moses, then he would have been born in SC, consistent with Elizabeth's entry in the 1880 census stating her parents were both born in SC. Another of Moses' sons, Gallant, was in Greenville Co, SC in the early 1800's. There is no trace of Elizabeth's husband, Mr Addison, in either the 1840 or 1850 Anderson Co census suggesting he had either died or abandoned Elizabeth before 1840 and she (and her daughter) were living with Cleveland. There is a Larkin Estis in the 1840 census, but some distance away from Cleveland & Micajah and doesn't appear in any other years. He may be a blow-in or possibly one of Cleveland's unknown sons. :..

Parentage unknown, but born in VA. Probably more children than those listed below. Around the same time as John appears in Davidson, there also appear other Estes including Laban and Henson, who are otherwise accounted for. John is not a sibling of either of these Estes'. Allen E (1780/1790), William (1790/1800) and Thomas (married to Eunice?) also appear at the same time. These are so far unplaced. :..

I've not come across any known German Estes in the US before. Is this a mistake or was the German ancestry via George's mother (grandmother etc)? Hannah was living adjacent to George in the 1901 census. Camden and Newburgh are about 1km apart and it is likely Jerome is George's brother. The case for William being another brother is not as strong - Toronto is the nearest large city but it is some distance away. Both William and Jerome were likely unmarried in 1871 and possibly living in the household headed by George (along with Hanah) since they were not listed in the 1871 heads of household listing [&1]. With the exception of several members of an Estes family from Maine (the Northern US Estes branch), living in or near Victoria, BC, and a William W. Estes (b.1868), living alone in the Yukon Territories, the following are the only other Estes (with various spellings) in the 1901 Canadian national census.[&2] It is a commonly held belief that many Estes families fled to Canada during the Revolutionary War (and to a lesser extent during the Civil War). If this was true, the refugees either eventually moved back to the USA or their lines died out (ie the surname). By 1901 only one Estes grouping had been in Canada for more than a decade and according to the 1871 census that family was of German origin which, if true, would mean they are unconnected to the bulk of the Estes who're of Kentish (England) origins. The scarcity of the Estes name in Canada in 1901 strengthens the case that George, William and Jerome, below, are siblings. The 1871 Ontario census also lists a James Estes, born 1850, residing in Elizabethtown (Ontario). There is no trace of James (or descendents) in the 1901 census. :.... ? (?-bf.1901) :.... +Hannah ?
