I also show James Estes to be the son of John and Sarah "Sally" (Bennett) Estes of Granville Co., NC. According to a letter from the Pension Office dated Dec 15, 1873, on March 10, 1852, land grant #31575 was issued and sent to James Estes, in Carthage, TN, for his service in the NC Military, in the War of 1812. There is a certificate of receipt for this bounty land from James Estes stating he was a resident of Smith Co., TN. Later, he moved his family to Dekalb Co., TN. At least three of James' siblings also went to TN, Thomas Estes who married Rosina Smith and settled in Gibson Co., TN, John B. Estes who married Elizabeth J. Nevil and settled in McNairy Co., TN and Sarah "Sally" Estes who married Thomas J. Pruett. I have more info on the parents and siblings of James Estes, if your interested.
