ubject: [OHHAMILT] ESTES/Cincinnati from 1927-1959 Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2000 18:47:45 -0700 From: "Christine M. Smth" <cmsmith@iserve.net> To: OHHAMILT-L@rootsweb.com Posted on: Hamilton County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Hamilton/2610 Surname: ------------------------- My grandfather was John Will Estes, of Madison County, Kentucky, who moved to Cincinnati, Ohio in late 1926. He stayed with his cousin, Willie Carpenter and his family at first. His wife and five children remained in Kentucky until early 1927, when they got tired of waiting to be sent for and also went to Cincinnati. Many years later, when my brother was a young man, my grandfather told him that while he was alone in the city he had fathered a child. He had taken care of her, and according to my mother she came to my grandfather's funeral in 1959. A check of his funeral visitation book lists several unknowns, but I haven't been able to trace any of them. I know she would have been born sometime in 1927 and that her mother had red hair. I do not know if she carried his last name or not. She could well still be alive, and I would love to find her. All leads welcome.
