G'day folks, The following marriage and tombstone records come from Estes Trails: "Our Dead - Shelby Co, TX, 1836-1964", J. B. Sanders, "Marriage Records of Shelby Co, TX", J. B. Sanders, in "Estes Trails", 1987, 7.2, pp.16-17, submitted by Billie Jean Heath. I've only been able to place a few of them, but the only Estes I have in Shelby Co, TX are descendents of Bethlehem Estes, who'se of the mysterious Moses line. Most of the following are after my records cut out, tho' common names indicate they are the same lot. Burials: Estes, 2 graves, unmarked, but believed to be Estes as located in an Estes plot.
