My families' roots are in the Fulton/Sharp County area around the Agnos/Ash Flat/Peace Valley communities. My father was Lowell L. "Jack" Estes (b. 1919). My paternal grandfather, Arlie Estes, b. 1891, was postmaster at Agnos for 35 years. His father was James Madison Estes (b. 1852) the son of James Estes (b. 1823), and his mother was Adeline McCord, the d/o Daniel McCord and Nancy Jane Wiles. James Estes (b. 1823) was our original settler in the Agnos area, moving into the area in the early 1850's. The old homestead is just east of Agnos on the highway. The rural water tower stands near the site of the old house. My grandmother was Elvada "Vadie" Manry, the d/o Lavelle Manry and Judie Frances Short. Lavelle Manry was the s/o Edward F. Manry and Margaret N. Moore. Margaret Moore was d/o Daniel Duffel Moore and Jane G. Shaw. My mother is Mrs. Artie Boothe Estes. My maternal grandfather was John Wesley Boothe (b. 1899) the s/o George W. Boothe (b. 1868) and Mollie Brashears. George W.'s father was Ferguson Boothe, (b. 1811) one of Sharp Counties earliest settlers. My grandmother was Nettie Thomas, the d/o John W. Thomas and Susan C. Roberts. The Thomas family left the area for Oklahoma. Susan C. Roberts was the d/o William Asbury Roberts (b.1852) and Hannah Johnson (b. 1852). I have no information on Hannah Johnson or Jane G. Shaw. Anything will be appreciated. As always, I am willing to share any information I have. Ron Estes
