Sent to me by mistake .. From: "dalawler" <dalawler@msn.com> All of this discussion has been very interesting. I've learned a good bit about genealogy from this discussion and appreciate the help that this has been. I've not seen anything from anyone on my William Estes, b. about 1830, not sure where, m. in Mo. about 1855 to Susan Francis Boles/Bowles. Lived in Ks. in 1855, in Mo. in 1860, in Ark. in 1870 and Kinney Co., Tx. in 1880, where William J. Estes d. 1889. William fought in the Civil War. Not sure on which side as his father-in law- and some of his brothers-in-law fought on one side and William and his other brothers-in -law fought on the other side. William and Susan had Children; Mary, Lodusky Jane, Albert, Boles J., Arthur, James Butler, Timothy and Ida. James B. m. Patsy May Cox, Tim m. Maude, Lodusky J. m. David Welch and Ida m. John Guilder. Would love to hear from any one who can shed some light on this family.
