G'day Bill, > Thanks for posting the AR census indices. Here is most of what I have > on: “William L. Estes, Dallas Co, p.14, Jackson” > 1850 Census, Jackson Twp., Dallas County Arkansas > ESTES, Wm. L. 35, Elisabeth A. 13, Jas. H. 11, Lemuel C. 6, TN/TN > dwelling 191.. > This family is living in Locust Bayou Twp., Ouachita Co. 1850 > AR Census Hmm.. wonder if they're related to the other Estes who were in that county? Those ones are linked. I'd have to go back and check which ones they were. As for a William L Estes, born c.1815, I have the following: . William Littleton ESTES (1816-1846) of Hancock Co, KY . +Elvira COLBERT; 1837, Hancock Co, KY [68,273] . . Warren W. ESTES (1840-1876) of Hancock Co, KY [273] . . Albert ESTES (1841-1878) of Hancock Co, KY [273] . . Emeline ESTES (1845-1876) of Hancock Co, KY [273] The kids don't match, so doesn't look like it's him. Oh well .. back to the coal face. :) I'll have a look for William Estes latter on .. but since there were Estes as far back as 1825 whom I can't account for .. and about 1/2 of all AR Estes in the census' I posted are also unaccounted for .. I'm not hopeful at the moment. > Looking for the origin of William L ESTES, born Tennessee. In 1850, > he was living near Marcus Estes. Bill Landers No ideas on Marcus alas. cheers, David. PS: No more Estes Trails stuff for a while .. I have to get back to some of my other lines which I'd woefully neglected in favour of the Estes over the past 6 months. :) -- ... under de-construction ('till I find something I wanna put here) DC2.D A+++!
