Hi Everyone! This is to announce my new Estes-Eastes Heritage web site that contain 6763 people divided into 1217 surnames. www.estes-eastes.com These pages represent the combined efforts of many people who have conscientiously recorded their family lines over the years. The purpose of this site is to consolidate these records into one place so that anyone may use them as a foundation for further personal research and expansion.. We begin with Nicholas Ewstas who was born in 1495 in Kent, England the oldest known person in our Estes/Eastes/etc line. The pages that follow are historic records of some his descendants. As we pass down through the generations we come to our progenitor, Abraham Estes, who migrated from England into the Colony of Virginia and was the father of 13 children. One of these was John Estes, Sr. father of Elisha Estes who migrated from Virginia to South Carolina then to Kentucky and Tennessee where he died in 1818. At the present, these records follow the descendants of Elisha as they move through Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and beyond. This is just a beginning and that more records will be added in the future to include other descending lines from Abraham.

The Appomattox Society Dedicated to the 28,231 soldiers of the Confederate States of America who were there at Appomattox Courthouse with Robert E. Lee. These men found it within themselves to stay and fight for "Marse Robert" when the Confederacy was failing, their friends were deserting and their families were imploring them to comeback home. Unto this end, The Appomattox Society was formed to honor these men and their descendants. Ever faithful, they received the now famous General Order No. 9 From General Lee, stacked their arms, picked up their few meager belongings and headed to what days before had been a separate country, now again a state in the United States of America. The Appomattox Society consists of lineal and collateral descendants of the men who stayed and received their paroles at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia, April 10 - 15, 1865. Persons of any age or gender, who can show lineage back to one of these soldiers, are eligible to join the society. The hope is to collect biographical information on every man that surrendered at Appomattox and put it into a database where it can be researched by anyone wanting to find out more information on the men that were there. After numerous requests from persons whose ancestors were paroled after Appomattox, we have agreed that any person who can show lineage to a confederate ancestor that was paroled after Appomattox shall be eligible for full membership in the Appomattox Society. We will, in turn, profile these men in our newsletter also. This includes the soldiers who surrendered with Gen'l Joe Johnston near Greensboro, N.C., soldiers who surrendered with with Gen'l E.K. Smith at New Orleans, soldiers who surrendered with Gen'l Stand Waite in Texas, and other soldiers who can show parole on or after 9 April, 1865. The society is also open to all descendants of men who were captured and held until after the surrender. http://www.appomattoxsociety.org/

This began as a SCURRY will from Granville, NC, but following through on names of association I found some records I have a few questions on. Audrey Source: Original Wills of Granville County, NC by Timothy W. Rackley "323. Gidren (Gideon?) SCURRY, 30 April 1775 'Being very sick in body'. Lend to my dearly beloved wife Catron SCURRY during her life the holl (?) of my Estate of all sorts, lands, stock, household furniture. After her decease to my son Thomas SCURRY a small (torn section). My daughter Mary (torn section, recorded copy has 'Wrters'?) shilling Sterling. To my daughter Elisabeth (torn section, recorded copy has 'Norman') shilling. To my daughter Sarah HEATH one shilling Sterling. After these legacies discharged & paid, the remainder of my Estate to my son Jessey SCURRY land, stock, household furniture (except my wife make use of in her life and what my wife is please(d) to give to my son Thomas SCURRY). My dearly beloved wife Catron SCURRY Executor. Wit: Henry GRAVES, *Jacob MITCHELL, John SMITH.

(aep) *Note Jacob MITCHELL in the following will from Lunenburg Co, VA. Even though Jacob is in Granville, NC there is no will with him as a son, or a will for him. This is the MITCHELL family I believe connects to our families that went to SC. (aep) "MITCHELL, John Will Book 1, Page 140 Lunenburg Co, VA Names: Wife - not named in will and evidently deceased. Son - James MITCHELL one pair spoon moulds. Daughter - Daughter Catherine MITCHELL, wife of Robert MITCHELL, slave and personal property but to go to her son John MITCHELL at age 21.

Will dated 29 Dec 1753 Recorded 2 Feb 1755." Note: I was thinking Jacob was the s/o John MITCHELL, but says son in law. "SAWYERS, Elizabeth Will Book 1, Page 176 Appraisal of the estate of Elizabeth SAWERS (sic), deceased, made by Jacob MITCHELL, George FARRAR* and Isaac MITCHELL - value 12 pounds 16 shillings 11 ½ pence - returned to Court by Thos.

Robert's wife was Catherine MITCHELL, d/o John MITCHELL of Lunenburg Co, VA. See will above.
Billie, After reading this over I might as well have worked on all of the records for BULLOCK and WHATLEY of Granville, NC. Don't you think these two families, BULLOCK and WHATLEY are from Zachariah BULLOCK and Shirley WHATLEY? Both families migrated from Granville Co, NC, but probably in VA before that. Zach BULLOCK was the s/o Richard BULLOCK of Granville, NC. Shirley WHATLEY is in Granville (NC) early; Tax Lists, etc. Richard leaves a will in Granville (NC). Len Henley and Zachariah BULLOCK were brothers. Zachariah didn't die in Granville (NC), but in Union Co, SC. Here is a record of him with a niece Fanny Lyne or LYNE(d/o Len Henley BULLOCK). Looks like she may have m. a LYNE if one of the executors has meaning... Source: Some South Carolina Genealogical Records by Revill. "BULLOCK, Zachariah of Union Co. Will 10 Feb 1791 Union Probate Pg-8 Bro: Len Hinley (sic) BULLOCK'S 4 youngest daughters-namely: Fanny LYNE, Lucey, **Agnes, and Nancey B.-each 250 sterling Bro: Len Henley BULLOCK of Warren Co, NC (previously Granville). Exor: All rest Nephew: Richard BULLOCK-son of Len Henley. One of the Exor's. Exor: *James LYNE of Granville Co (NC?). Wit: Adam POTTER, John LIPSCOMBE, Wm LIPSCOMBE, Jr." * James LYNE is definitely from Granville Co, NC, as are his ancestors. He is named on a will of his grandfather. Gosh, many of these people connect with either PETTYPOOL or POOL(E)! And/or HOLLOWAY. (aep) **Agnes is a given name in the BULLOCK family. Agnes BULLOCK, d/o Richard BULLOCK m. a WILLIAMS (WILLIAMS-SATTERWHITE-PETTYPOOL). One Agnes BULLOCK is a witness to William BULLOCK's will, Granville Co., NC. Frances BULLOCK, d/o William BULLOCK (Will, 1794, Granville, NC) married a BOYD. So these names, like many other families, came down for generations. (aep) There is a Fanny BULLOCK in the following record, but over a hundred years before the one you are looking for. "1383 pg 322 John BULLOCK 6 February 1762 255 acres in Granville County on both sides of DOTSONS Branch, joining BULLOCKS line, BRICKLES line, and HARGROVES line OR: /s/ John BULLOCK Wits: Len Henley BULLOCK, *Fanny BULLOCK surveyed 19 January 1761 SCC: Zachariah BULLOCK, Leonard SIMM Thos PERSON Surveyor." Wasn't the HOLLOWAY/BULLOCK connection through Zach BULLOCK's line? With a Zach WHATLEY, it looks like there was a connection between the two families somewhere before your line here; and/or because of this connection...(if) this Fannie comes through Zachariah BULLOCK's lineage. I know Shurley/Shirley WHATLEY was in Edgefield after migrating from Granville, NC. The following are interesting records. Granville Co, NC Patent Book 14: "Michael WHATLEY 16 March 1761 644 acres in Granville County on both sides of Lyons Creek, joining KIMBALLS corner and WOOTONS line OR: /s/ Mich'l WHATLEY* Wits: Len Henley BULLOCK*, Phill HAWKINS surveyed 28 May 1760 SCC: Thomas WOOTON, Wm WILLIAMS, Thos PERSON Surveyor." *Note both WHATLEY and BULLOCK on the same doc here. I don't know who Michael WHATLEY is, but Shirley WHATLEY had a son, William, in the 1752 Tax List of Granville, NC. (aep) "2805 pg 96 Shurley WHATLEY 6 February 1762 76 acres in Granville County on the S side of Shocco Creek, joining WHATLEYS line, *JONES line, and the sd creek OR: /s/ Shurley WHATLEY Wits: Jno LINTON, James MARTIN, Jr (Plat is missing)." *This JONES family had a Gabriel JONES connection and from Spotsylvania Co, VA. Our William POOL or PETTYPOOL m. Elizabeth JONES, d/o of a Gabriel JONES. (aep) Does this make sense?
