Hi Ya'll !! The recent activity on this list is fantastic. I didn't find any leads to my line but who knows what lies just around the corner!! I too have posted notices to this list and received no replies. However, my direct ancestor Obediah Eastes/Estes only lived there from 1794 to 1801! They moved aross the OH river in 1802 into IN Terr. I am searching in Lincoln and surrounding Counties for EASTES/ESTES and HARVEY families. Obediah Eastes/Estes married Francis Harvey 9 Feb 1792 in Edgefield SC. In 1794 they traveled the Wilderness Trail with three small children and stopped in Crab Orchard. They bought 17 acres of Land on Gilbert's creek and paid taxes until 1801. It is believed that Obediah Eastes/Estesand Francis Harvey both had relatives in KY before they left SC. The descendants of some may still be in the area. I am also searching for this family: Descendants of Elisha 07 Estes 1. ELISHA 071 ESTES died 1818 in Roane Co., (Other than the will, nothing is known about this Elisha. I have 33 Elisha Estes in my Estes/Eastes Data Base. This one is #7) Notes: The names of the children were taken from Elisha's will which was difficult to read but not impossible. Dates for children 9 and 10 was taken from the 1850 census for Pulaski Co. KY. Other than children 9 and 10, the dates of the others are unknown and may not be in order. The will had the name Eastus at the beginning but was signed as Estes. Data was submitted by Marjorie Rogers, 420 E. Radiance Dr, Greensburg, NC 27403 in 1982. Children of ELISHA ESTES and MARY are: i. OBEDIAH ESTES. ii. ELIZABETH2 ESTES, m. UNKNOWN CRUMLESS. iii. CLARY ESTES, m. UNKNOWN WEBB. iv. MARY ESTES, m. UNKNOWN BRISTER. v. SUSANNA ESTES. vi. JENNY (JINCY) ESTES, m. HUGHBOUR. vii. WILMOTH ESTES, m. UNKNOWN MULLEKIN. ** viii. DAVID SHIPTON ESTES, b. Abt. 1776, VA; d. 04-July-1861, Pulaski Co., KY. ** ix. ELISHA 08 ESTES, b. Abt. 1778, VA; d. Aft. 1850, Pulaski Co., KY. ** Denotes - Have Records on Descendants ______________________________________________________ If anyone who can shed any light on the the Eastes/Estes and Harvey lines, I would appreciate hearing from you!! Keep up the great posting of queries and records - this is great! Best Regards to All Roy Eastes Gulfport, MS
