Does anyone know the parents of John D. ESTES who married Catharine J. Kirkpatrick in WA County, Missouri, on 15 Dec 1842? They appear in the 1850 Census for Bellevue Twp, with John listed as 30 years old, and born in MO. By the 1860 Census all the children are listed, down to James, then C.J. appears as a widow in the 1880 Census. I need help on this ancestor! (descendants listed) Descendants of John D.
