I asked my Dad if he recalled his Dad ever talking about an Uncle Vester and he believes he did although he didn't have any specific details. I can tell you that the exact months and years of the ages for Henry and Elizabeth that are listed with Vester in the 1900 census are the exact same as John Henry's parents who were Emanuel Henry (always went by the name of Henry) and Mary Elizabeth Hollingsworth (always went by Elizabeth). She died in 1902. Did your mother's brother's have any sons? If so they can take a DNA test and see if they match to the markers of my Dad which would prove if your Vestor is decended from Emanuel. Also, interesting is that Evans is a family name seen several times in my dad's family. My Dad had an Uncle named Charlie Evans Sellers and another named Peter Evans Sellers. I have some photos of Henry as an old man and of his family. Do you have any photos of Vestor? ! Maybe we can see if there is any family resemblence.
