James' father is listed as John {scribble} Estes on James' marriage certificate. The {scribble} is not decipherable. The most obvious candidate, given who was living in the area at the time and John Estes known to have had and used a middle name, is John Coleman Estes, son of Marshall Estes and Martha Yates (above). The link is, however, not proven. Details above (and references for same) are from my web site. cheers, David. -- A stranger in a world I never made - Housman DC2.D A+++! L^ Pfwl Bfl Fo R+++!
