Hello Estes cousins :) I've been researching my husband's family history for a few months now and just found this mailing list. Nice to join y'all :) I'm looking for information on James Estes (Eastis) b.abt. 1792 - d.bet. 1860-1870 who married Charlotte Mangum on 9/11/1813 in Granville Co., NC. I know they moved to Dekalb Co., TN after 1850. They show up in the Dekalb Co., TN census in 1860 with their younger children and their grandchildren. I can't find them in Dekalb or any surrounding counties in 1850. I was told that he was the son of John Estes and Sarah Bennett. Can anybody point me to something that can be used to verify this? I'm in Tennessee, so my resources are limited as far as NC is concerned. Nice to be a part of the Estes family (even though it's through marriage). Love, R. Estes uchuujin@aol.com
