Joshua Estes was born abt 1840 in Troup Co., GA to Kimbrel Estes and Rebecca (Caldwell) Estes. Joshua married Frances Hart in 1860 and they had two sons: Bennett abt 1862 and Dixie abt 1863. Joshua joined the CSA in 1863 and died in 1864 from an accident. On the 1860 census the family is listed as Eastridge, but on the 1850 Troup Co, GA and on the 1870 Cleburne Co., AL Census the family is listed as Estes. Also on the 1870 Troup Co., GA, Frances and children are living with her parents. Dixie and all of his descendants used the named Eastridge, while Bennett used the Esteridge name. I have copies of court records where Bennett Estes filed suit against A B Hunter concerning the land that was assigned dower to Rebecca Estes, Kimbrel Estes widow. The name changing is confusing. Bennett Estridge and Mary Etta Prophitt were married in Troup Co., GA on Nov. 29, 1884 Mrs. Mariett Profitt, wife of Ben Estridge was buried in the Prophitt Cemetery in Troup Co., GA She was born 2-16-1866 and died 5-26-1890. I have information on most of Kimbrel and Rebecca's children, but would like to know more. Willing to share what I have. If you have any information on this family, please contact me.
