Does anyone know the father of Henderson Estes who lived in Wilson Co. TN in the middle 1800's? He was married to Nancy Bond in Rutherford Co. Tn on June 2, 1835 but was in the 1850 Census of Wilson Co.TN. His son William Estes is my great-grandfather b. 28 Mar 1836. I believe that Matthew Estes was the brother of Henderson Estes, and he was a witness at Matthew's marriage to Frances Lassiter in 1837. He was born in VA according to the 1850 census. His children were William, John, Susan, Samuel, Martha, Mary, and Solomon. William and John fought in the Civil War and were taken prisoners by the North at Rock Island IL. John died three weeks after being released in April 1865 from wounds received. I'm not sure of the birth date of Henderson--between 1806 and 1811.
