G'day Esteser's! Here's some more grist for the mills out there, so to speak. >From Estes Trails, 1987, 7.1, p.2. "Clay Co, MO Marriages, 1825-1839". The marriages were extracted by the editor (Mary Estes Beckham) from the book of that title. Sorry, I don't know who wrote the book or who published it - MB didn't give those details. Most of these are prolly covered in "Estes of Old Clay Co, MO" by McAllister & McAllister, but no harm in having them again, eh? To save typing, all dates are in english format, dd/mm/yyyy, with the month as 1-12, rather than spelt out as in my previous post. My typing speed is not exactly lightning fast. :) The list has only the "Estes" spelling, so I suspect it's been "sanitised" a bit, however I've spelt all other names as they appear in ET, even when I've seen different spellings elsewhere (ie Stallings vs Stollings). The ones marked with a "*" before the Estes are ones I don't have linked. If anyone knows who they are, please let me know! Estes, Anderson & Mary A. Swader, 8/9/1836 Estes, Archibald & Lovey Stallings, 10/11/1828 (note- Archibald was actually a Benton. He and his siblings were raised by their grandfather, an Estes) Estes, Bird & Mary Watson, 28/3/1833 Estes, Caswell & Dorah Skaggs, 16/5/1839 Estes, Elisha & Alemeda Soper, 10/12/1835 Estes, Jackson & Susan W. Corum, 9/6/1836 Estes, Joel & Patsy Stollings, 12/1/1826 Estes, Joel & Rebecca Ferrill, 25/9/1836 (not the same Joel!) Estes, Littleberry & Nancy Coram, 30/9/1830 *Estes, Littleberry & Lucy Holman, 8/2/1831 Estes, Stephen & Susan Holman, 27/1/1831 *Estes, Thomas & Martha Estes, 19/1/1832 Estes, Ward & Gaberela Palmer, 24/8/1837 Estes, William & Susan Hiete, 6/1/1826 (another Benton turned Estes) Estes, William L. & Malinda H. Doty, 29/3/1827 (actually William Sanders Estes) Estes, Emeline & John Corum, 17/12/1833 Estes, America W. & William H. H. Davis, 17/9/1839 Estes, Agness & Samuel Hall, 17/5/1825 Estes, Nancy & James Harden, 13/3/1828 (the only comparable marriage I can find is with James Wilhoite, same date) *Estes, Martha & Thomas Estes, 19/1/1832 Estes, Matilda & Samuel Hiett, 14/6/1827 Estes, Marian & James R. Holeman, 10/11/1833 Estes, Mourning & Jesse huffman, 7/11/1836 *Estes, Anna & Charles Parmer, 28/7/1833 Estes, Polly & Jonathan Skaggs, 8/5/1834 Estes, Binsey & Jacob Stollings, 28/3/1830 Estes, Racheal & Jesse Stollings, 24/2/1825 No bond details were given, just what I've given above. Cheers, David. -- I bless the day I met you and I thank God that he let you lay beside me for a moment that lives on and the good news is I'm better for the time we spent together and the bad news is you're gone. - "You're Gone", Diamond Rio DC2.D A+++!
