G'day folks, The following is from Estes Trails, 1986, 6.4, p.4. Posted with permission of the Estes Trails editor. 1818 census, IL: Chisum Estes, Gallatin Co, p.347, 1M to 45, 2M to 10, 1f/m to 45, 1 f/m to 10 Absalom Estes, Franklin Co, p.112, 1M 21 & up, 9 other whites Joseph Estes, Franklin Co, p.111, town of Muddy, 1M 25 & up, 9 other whites George Estes, Monroe Co, p.124 (no further details) Jehu Estes, Monroe Co, p.76 (no further details) Mary Estes, White Co, p.328 (no further details) 1810 census: N. "Etace", Kaskaskia, p.71, 1m to 26, 2f/m 45 & up, 1M to 45 E. Estes, Randolph Co, p.967, 2M to 10, 1 fm to 10, 1M to 45, 1fm to 45 I've identified Chisum, Absalom and Joseph (they were brothers), but have no idea who the rest are. I checked my maps and couldn't find a "Kaskaskia" in IL, either as a town or a county, so not quite sure what or where it is. cheers, David. -- ... under de-construction ('till I find something I wanna put here) DC2.D A+++!
