G'day folks, I got a query today from someone looking for a Jackson Estes, born c.1820, probably in Wake Co, NC (which at the time would've been granville Co since Wake Co didn't exist back then). Jackson married unknown and had a daughter, Mary A. (1844-1926), who married James Lillard, then David Hicks of Blytheville, AR. Mary may have married Mr Vancleve before James Lillard. Mary also had a near relative named Buck Estes, who lived in the KY, AR, TN area and married Eliza Orange. "Buck", so I gather, is a nick-name for William. Most of the Jackson Estes I have from Granville Co, NC were "William jackson Estes". A lot of this family did end up in AR. BUT I dont have a Jackson (William Jackson or not) of this vintage. Anyone else? Cheers, David. PS: Welcome back Annette! -- A stranger in a world I never made - Housman DC2.D A+++! L^ Pfwl Bfl Fo R+++! Ac+ J-- S++ Fr+++!
