    • At St. Stephen's Parish. In 1700, King and Queen County had a population of 4,206 people, was the most populous and based on its tobacco production, also the wealthiest.

      Both New Kent and King and Queen Counties are burned counties, meaning the county records went up in flames at one point or another. The New Kent records were intentionally burned, set afire in 1787 by one John Price Posey who was hanged for his dastardly deed. Certainly, Barbara and Abraham’s marriage license was among those records that burned.

  • Notes 
    • Summary

      Abraham Estes made an amazing journey in his lifetime. His life was certainly not without adventure. He was born during a war and his father may have given his life in the Kentish Uprising. In any event, he was orphaned when he was two years old, when his mother died. Had it not been for his mother’s will, we would never be able to tie Abraham to his family, because we have never been able to find his baptism records.

      Abraham’s first wife died and we presume there were no children. If Abraham immigrated in 1673, he and his wife were married less than a year and it would be a safe bet that she died in childbirth, along with the child. He sailed for America in the middle of a second war, encountering Dutch warships on both ends of the journey.

      In 1676, in Virginia, he would have been involved in some way in Bacon’s Rebellion, likely siding with Nathaniel Bacon against the government. If so, he was probably involved in the burning of Jamestown. This may well have been America’s first civil war.

      In 1683, in Virginia, Abraham signed a petition, a free man and we know that by 1704 he owned land in King and Queen County that he purchased (or inherited), not that he received as a land grant.

      Abraham Estes died in 1720 married to Barbara Estes, but there is not one single shred of evidence to suggest that his wife’s maiden name was Barbara Brock. That surname was introduced into the family line by a novel in the 1980s wherein the author utilized Estes historical characters and built upon those characters. It also didn’t help that Abraham Jr.’s daughter, Barbara Estes married Henry Brock. Unfortunately, Barbara’s surname, listed as Brock has been copied and recopied so many times that it has entered into the realm of urban legend. Regardless of how many times the story is retold, or copied and pasted, it won’t be accepted by serious researchers until some evidence, someplace, is found. To date, there is none. I am hopeful that as more Virginia Counties chancery suits are brought online by the Virginia State Archives that in some county, someplace, a document will surface that will identify Barbara Estes’s maiden name.

      In my opinion, the most likely place to find Barbara’s surname is among the petitioners on that 1683 petition. We know her family lived in Virginia and she would have had to live local to Abraham to have met him. Her father, brothers and perhaps uncles are most likely among the petition signers. Brock is not one of the surnames. Those surnames are:

      Beverly Fleet, a noted researcher, extracted these names when transcribing the 1683 petition in the Virginia Colonial Records in the 1930s and 1940s and provided her commentary , as follows:

      Of the 66 signatures on this petition, exactly half, 33, made marks. Not so bad considering the disturbed times in England and conditions in Virginia. The comment in regard to English education is made in that, contrary to the prevailing cavalier tradition, I believe that many of these men were of Cromwellian affiliation and came to Virginia to escape the hatred at home. If they were so Cavalier, then why did they come to this Godforsaken and wild country just after the Restoration? Not that there were not a plenty of gentlemen too, but the rank and file are always in the majority so far as numbers are concerned. This petition is a protest of the people against two or three of the upper class. Would to God that these men could have known just what happened exactly 100 years after they sent in their protest.

      In Abraham’s case, I doubt that he was Cromwellian, especially if his father died in the Kentish uprising siding against Cromwell and with the deposed King Charles. On the other hand, it’s a possibility I had never previously considered. If he was, for some reason, pro-Cromwell, it might well have alienated him from other family members who did support the deposed Charles and welcomed the reinstatement of his son, Charles II, known as “The Restoration,” in 1660. Kent was heavily pro-Charles and anti-Cromwell. It would seem to me that in 1660, Abraham, at age 12 or 13 would be too young to be politically thoughtful. However, Beverly Fleet may have been accurate in that many of the older men in Virginia may well have left in the late 1550s when Cromwell’s reign was coming to an end.

      Regardless of why Abraham left England, all of the thousands of American descendants need to be exceedingly grateful that he did, and survived, or we wouldn’t be here and who we are today. I asked David Powell who maintains the most comprehensive list of descendants that I’m aware of in his Estes/Eastes Pages, how many descendants Abraham has, and he indicated it was about 27,000. That’s just an amazing number, and we know we don’t have all of them.

      I asked David how many descendants that Nicholas Estes, the first proven Estes ancestor from Deal, born about 1495, with only one documented son in his will, has today. His answer? About 35,000. Of those, 27,000 are attributed to Abraham, another 6000 to the Northern US Estes line and a couple thousand in England. Just think how many there might really be if we knew how many children Nicholas actually had. Ironically, it’s the English line that really hasn’t been thoroughly documented – the descendants of those who stayed – and David is working on that now – so we may see this number rise significantly in the future.

      end of note [17]
    • The Estes Family of England and Virginia

      The Estes are one of the great pioneer families of the United States. Numbered in their thousands they are are to be found in most parts of the country and a selection of their life histories would amply illustrate the history of America. They are to be found in the annals of the American Revolution, the expansion westwards and the Civil War and are representative of the whole social fabric from log cabin to Whitehouse! Though not among the great politicil families they produced a vice-presidential:candidate in Senator Estes Kefauver and a son-in-law on the bench to President Harrison, and they produced their own brand of tycoon in Billie Sol Estes. They were trail blazers, slave-owners and freers, Quakers. Episcopalians, Presbyterians and Baptists. They drowned in frozen rivers and were captured by Indians as children. They fought on both sides in the Civil War and nursed their dying countrymen in that conflict. Their traditional Biblical names shared place with those of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson and their family name, which is hardly known elsewhere, has become very much an American surname.
      While it is known that the ancestors of the American Estes came from Kent in England and while there is a strong belief that the family was ultimately of Italian origin, very little has been written about the English ancestors and the English branches of the family. Indeed, a great deal of speculation and incorrect information has been circulated over the last hundred years, both in America and England. Largely due to the researches of an English genealogist employed by Charles Estes. The American families have been exposed to the belief that they descend from a family named Este which, in turn, descended from the Marquis Francesco d'Este of Burgundy who settled in England after the death of his friend and patron Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. The story has some credibility in that Francesco, a trained diplomat, may well have been in the service of the Duchess, widow of Charles, who was an English princess and known to be sympathetic to the English pretender Lambert Simnel who claimed to be her nephew. Nevertheless it seems strange that no record of Francesco appears to survive in the English State Papers.

      The English Estes, most branches of which had adopted the Eastes spelling by the mid-eighteenth century, perpetuated another variant of this story though they had Francesco's descendants remaining in Europe where some of them became Protestant-. a,-id fled to England to escape persecution. In garbled form of this story was given false authority by another English professional genealogist in the mid-nineteenth century who stated that two brothers, sons of the Baron d'Este, a descendant of the Marquis d'Este, were Huguenots and fled to England after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. As the families of the two brothers can be traced back much earlier in Kent the story only makes sense if those who fled to England did so in the mid-sixteenth century when hundreds of Walloon and Fleming refugees fled from the Spanish Netherlands (the former Duchy of Burgundy) to escape the Inquisition. It makes even greater sense when we recall that the Flemings and Walloons were commonly referred to as Huguenots in later times.

      What we know of the English Estes is pieced together from a thorough examination of the parish registers and bishops transcripts available for Acrise, Ashford, Bucldand, Canterbury, Deal, Dover, Elnam, Folkestone, Guston, Hythe, London, Lydden, Margate, Nonington, Northbourne, Ringwould, Ripple, Rotherhithe, St Margarets at Cliff, Sandwich, Sholden, Waldershare, Walmer, West Langdon, Wingham and Wooton. The greatest linking was only achieved in recent years by an experienced English researcher, Donald Bowler, but other researchers have contributed in fitting the genealogical jigsaw together.

      The Estes of Kent were described as a "maritime" family and this may explain why the earliest appearances of the name are found scattered about the southern coast from Morwenstow in Cornwall (1558) to Harwich in Essex.' There was probably a link between the Estes of Harwich and Deal, both centres of Walloon refugee settlement, as the registers of St Leonard, Deal, list the burial on 31 August 1621 of Hugh 'Estie' of Harwich who was bound from Germinie [Netherlands] in a ship called the Sion of London [Zion, a typical Protestant name]. It is clear from the records of St Leonard that all variants of the name were used interchangeably, the earliest instances being as follows: Eastes (1581), Este (1601), Estis (1618) and Eastis (1726). John Estye, who became a freeman of Canterbury by purchase on 27 June 1562, was a shearman or maker of shears, an occupation closely associated with the Walloon textile industry. He was no doubt the same John Estey or Estye who was a clothworker mentioned in Canterbury records between 1571 and 1593.
      The first progenitor of the Deal family for whom we have reasonable records was Henry Este or Eagtes (b. about 1549 in Deal) who made his will as Henry Eastice, fisherman of Deal, on 13 April 1590. His widow Mary/Maria Rand Este (b. before 1575) was buried at St Leonards on 19 June 1601. The available evidence suggests that Henry and Mary had the following children:

      1. Richard of Deal, born 1578
      2. Henry of Deal, bapt. St Leonards 6 April 1581
      3. Mary, bapt. St Leonards 15 January 158617, buried St Leonards 29 December 1587
      4. Aron, bapt.. St Leonards 6 July 1589
      Henry left his 'pinasse' (two masted vessel) and other property to be shared equally between his three sons Richard, Henry and Aron who were all very young. His executor was his brother Robert who was probably the founder of the Ringwould branch. Robert of Ringwould had links with Deal through his son Matthew, the marriage of his grand-daughter Ellen with Moses Estes, grandson of Richard of Deal, and the fact that some of his family became mariners, like the Deal family.
      Robert of Ringwould married Ann Woodward at Sholden on 2 December 1591. He probably died about 1616. His widow Annie's will, dated 21 April 1630, was probated 9 June 1630 and gives certainty to the next generation. Their children were as follows:

      1. Matthew, bapt. Sholden 11 June 1592
      2. Sylvester,, bapt. Ringwould 26 September 1596
      3. Alice, bapt. 26 March 1597, married at Ringwould, 28 October 1628 Thomas Beane
      4. Matthew, born 1601, married at Deal 23 November 1620 Margaret Johnson
      and buried Deal 4 June 1621
      5. Robert, bapt. Ring-would 29 May 1603
      6. Thornas, bapt. Ring-would 2 June 1605 Susan, bapt. Ringwould 30 October 1608
      8. John, bapt. Ringwould 3 March 1610
      9. ?, an infant who died in 1616
      Most of the American families appear to descend from the eldest surviving child Sylvester and the fourth surviving child Robert, although the family of Richard Estes of Deal (born 1578) also had American connections. Several persons named Estes or one of its variants arrived in America before the Restoration of the Stuart monarchy in England.
      A John Estes was brought to Virginia by Theodore Moyser in 1637 and another of that name was transported in 1659. Thomas Estes and his .wife Jane nee Jones were living in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1654 and James Estes or Estasse, probably a relation of Thomas, was living there in 1658. The early Estes could have come from the West Country rather than Kent though the most suitable candidate for Thomas would seem to be the second son of Robert of Ringwould, born in 1636. Sylvester Estes of Ringwould, sometime church warden, married Ellen Martin of Great Hardres on 24 November 1625. Ellen was of Waldershare according to her will of 1649. Sylvester had died before December 1667 when his daughter Ellen married. He left a large family:

      1. Robert, Senior, of Waldershare,bapt. Ringwould 10 September 1626, buried Waldersha're 23 June 1692 (ancestor of the Estes of Waldershare)
      2. Anne, bapt. Ring-would 25 November 1627
      3. Silvester (a daughter), bapt. Ringwould 31 May 1629 (afterwards Mrs Nash)
      4. Susan, bapt. Ringwould, 30 March 1631
      5. Thomas, bapt. Ring7would 20 January 1633 (ancestor of Estes of Acrise, etc.)
      6. Richard, bapt. Ring-would 5 October 1634 (ancestor of Estes and Eastes of Dover, West Langdon, St Margaret at Cliff and Guston)
      7. Mary, bapt. Ringwould 2 October 1636
      8. Anne, born in 1637
      9. Nicholas of Wingham, bapt. Nonington 9 December 1638
      10. Elizabeth, b. c.1640
      11. Ellen, bapt. Nonington 11 December 1642, married at Deal, 23 December 1667, Moses Estes of Deal as his second Wife.
      12. John, bapt. Nonington 29 December 1644
      13 Abraham, born in 1647

      The youngest child Abraham is an obvious candidate to be founder of the Virginia family. He was mentioned in his mother's will in 1649 and was a linen weaver in the old Walloon town of Sandwich, aged 25, when he married Ann widow of John Burton at Worth on 29 December 1672. Presumably Am died and he started a new life in Virginia. Family members who did not realise that Silvester was a woman could have assumed that Abraham was the youngest of seven brothers which may account for the American tradition that seven brothers had gone to America. The original claim was probably that Abraham was 'one of seven brothers' which later family members misconstrued to mean that they all came.

      That Abraham, son of Sylvester of Ringwould, was the Virginian ancestor is partly supported by the fact that Abraham Estes of Virginia named his son Sylvester as his executor, a position usually filled by the eldest son who was invariably named after his paternal grandfather. Although most of the listings of the children of Abraham and Barbara Estes do not place Sylvester first the most logical arrangement is that worked out by Margaret M. Hayes of Illinois, based on a close study of the Virginia records.It is as follows:

      1. Sylvester, b. c.1684, living in 1720
      2. Samuel, b. c.1686, married Rebecca
      3. Thomas, b.c.1688, d.1744, married c.1717 Ann Rogers who d. 1745
      4. Mary, b. c.1690 (Mrs. Thomas Watkins)
      5. Susanna, b. c.1692 (Mrs Thomas Poore)
      6. Robert, b. c.1695, d. Lunenburg Co. 13 April 1775, married c.1725 Mary
      7. Abraham, b.c.1697, d. before Feb. 1759, married (1) before 1717 Ann
      (2) c. 1740 Elizabeth Jeeter who d. 1774
      8. Richard, b. c.1699, d. Feb. 1774/5, married c.1727 Mary Yancy
      9. John, b. c.1701, married Elizabeth
      10. Elisha, b. c.1703, d. Henry Co. Virginia 1782 married before 1735 Mary Ann
      11. Sarah, b. c.1705, unmarried in 1720
      12 Moses, b. c.1710, d. 1788, married c.1731 Elizabeth.
      13. Barbara, b. c.1712, d. unmarried 1729
      We now return to Robert (b.1603), the English progenitor of the Estes of New
      England. Robert Estes of Ring-would married at Ringwould 31 January 1634 Dorothy, daughter of Thomas Wilson. Her sister Joan married Robert's brother Thomas on 21 November 1636. Robert and Dorothy had the following children.

      1. Robert, bapt. Ringwould 27 February 1635
      2. Thomas, bapt. Ringwould 23 October 1636
      3. Sylvester, bapt. Ringwould 9 September 1638
      4. Sarah, bapt. Ringwould, 22 March 1639/40
      5. child, b. 1643
      6. Matthew, b. Dover 28 May 1645, d. Salem, Massachusetts July 1723 (ancestor of one branch of the New England Estes)
      7. Richard, b. Dover 16 March 1647, d. (ancestor of the second branch of the New England Estes).
      Matthew Estes, a master mariner and master.of the Scituate-built sloop Unity of Boston in 1697-98, was already living in Dover, New Hampshire, when he married Philadelphia, widow of Edward Hayes, daughter of Ronald and Ann Jenkins, on 14 June 1676. He was living in Lynn as early as 1695 and died there on 9 July 1723. He was a member of the Society of Friends or Quakers." His brother Richard was also a Quaker and came to New England in 1684 where he married Elizabeth Beck at Dover , New Hampshire, on 23 April 1687. He lived mainly at Lynn and Salem though he is regarded as the founder of the Estes family of Hanover through his eldest son Matthew.
      The third family to have American connections was that of Richard of Deal. Richard married Agnes Dove at Ringwould on November 16 and was buried at St Leonards, Deal, on 21 February 1625/26. They had the following children.

      1. Richard, Junior, bapt. St Leonards, Deal 13 October 1605
      2. Annis, bapt. St Leonards 26 July 1618, married at Northbourne 1645 John Bowen
      Richard Estes, Junior, of Deal, married (1) at St Leonards 8 October 1627 Sara Norman, and (2) 31 March 1673 Mary Hyle or Hild, a widow. He was buried at St Leonards 31 May 1673. His will dated 27 May 1673 was probated 23 June 1673. He left the following children:
      1. Aaron, bapt. At St. Leonards 11 December 1631, a mariner, married at St Leonards 11 Apn'l 1653 Susanna Whetstone and had issue six children before he died about 1664. The eldest for the West lndies' and left Nicholas, also a mariner, was born in 1653 and married Elizabeth Sprusham at Canterbury in 1677.2 He is probably the same Nicholas Estes who was Lieutenant of the fireship Vulture in Her Majesty's Service who made his will on 20 June 1707 when'outward bound his real and personal estate to his wife Elizabeth." Aaron's fourth child Elizabeth was baptised at St Leonards 3 September 1660 and married Nathaniel Hatch of Boston, Massachusetts, at Deal on 9 October 1684, founding another American family.
      2. Sara, bapt. St Leonards 10 June 1633, married 4 December 1651 Stephen Mumbray
      3. Mary, bapt. St Leonards 28 June 1635, married 18 February 1656 Jeffrey Saffery of Lower Deal.
      4. Richard, junior, of Deal, bapt. St Leonards 19 February 1636, buried St Leonards 30 May 1663. He married Sarah Bridger of Sandwich in 1656 and had issue four children.
      5. John, bapt. St Leonards 18 November 1638, buried St Leonards 23 May 1646.
      6. Ann, b. in 1641, died young
      7. Moses, bapt. St Leonards 12 November 1643
      8. Samuel, also a mariner, bapt. St Leonards 14 December 1646, married Elizabeth Sillary at Ripple in 1666
      9. John, also a mariner in Her Majesty's Service, bapt. St Leonards 2 September 1649, buried St Leonards 27 November 1695. He married Sarah Banes at St Leonards 2 March 1673 and had eight children
      10. Ann, bapt. St Leonards, 16 November 1651, married at St Leonards 4 November 1669 John Bowen, a seaman, probably her cousin.
      The seventh child, Moses, is probably ancestor of Moses Estes who settled in Virginia in 1783. He married (1) at St Leonards 30 November 1663 Mary Mumbray who was buried St Leonards 29 November 1664 leaving an infant daughter Mary who died soon afterwards. He then married Ellen or Ella Estes, daughter of Sylvester and Ellen Estes of Ringwould and presumably full sister of Abraham Estes of Virginia." Moses died at Deal 19 March 1707/8 and was buried at St Leonards where there is a Memorial headstone carved with a skull and cross-bones and an hourglass." Ellen was buried at St Leonards 26 December 1729. Moses and Ellen had the following children:
      1. Richard, bapt. St Leonards 29 January 1667/8, buried St Leonards December 1668
      2. Constant, bapt. St Leonards 28 December 1669. She was buried at St Leonards 20 November 1708 where she was commemorated on her father's headstone
      3. Aaron, bapt. St Leonards 7 February 1671
      4. Samuel, bapt. St Leonards 28 February 1674/5.
      Samuel Estes married Ann Reed at St Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury, London on 25 October'1704 and died in 1745. He had the following children:
      1. Moses, bapt. St Dunstans, Stepney on 22 August 17 1027
      2. Ann, bapt. St Dunstans, Stepney on 22 December 1713
      3. Samuel, bapt. St Leona.rds, Deal 25 November 1719
      4. Thomas, bapt. St Leonards 27 October 1721.
      Other Estes may have come independently to America but they did not proliferate like the original pioneers. Early this century a family of Eastes of Dutch nationality arrived from Holland; they were descendants of a Richard Eastes from England who had settled in the Netherlands. This sequence of events gives a strange twist to the myth of family origins. The English Estes family was not lawfully armigerous since none of them had registered Arms, and there is no evidence of an Estes family bearing Arms before the establishment of the College of Arms in 1483. There is evidence, however, that the Eastes of Kent used armorial insignia (a garb and three fleurs-de-lys) which tends to support their Walloon or Flemish origins, since burgher arms (i.e., arms assumed by the citizenry) were proudly displayed in the Netherlands. Many of the old Walloon and Herriing families introduced this custom to England though it was never officially recognised unless the bearers applied for registration. Usually these burgher arms had the simplicity of trade signs tending to symbolise the occupation of the bearer. A garb or sheaf, for instance, could be an indication that the bearer was a brewer. Robert Eastes who became a freeman of Canterbury by redemption in 1681, was a maltster." The Crest used by the Eastes of Ashford was Issuant from three fleurs-de-lys: a garb."
      The tombstone of Thomas and @lary Eastes in Guston Churchyard, Kent, erected in 1743, displays a coat-of-arms which was once thought to be that of the family: A chevron between two {fleurs de lys} in chief and a garb in base. For crest An arm holding a [fleur de lys]." On close inspection, however, these arms appear to be those of the Worshipful Company of Tylers and Bricklayers granted on 3 February 1569: Azure a chevron or, in chief a fleur-de-lys argent between two brick-axes palewise or, in base a brush also or. For crest On a wreath or and azure a dexter arm enibowed vested party per pale or and gules, cuffed argent, holding in the hand proper a brick-axe or.

      Anyone unacquainted with the Guild arms could be excused for confusing the brush in base as a garb as it is not a common heraldic charge. It was in fact a bundle of laths which are evidently indispensable in the tiling of roofs. Also the brickaxes (larger than the central fleur-de-lys) are so nondescript as to resemble the central section of the fleur-de-lys. Why the Arms should include a fleur-de-lys at all is not Clear except that they are often a symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary who may have been the saint to whom the early members of the fraternity made their VOWS.

      Thomas Eastes, son of Thomas and Mary, became a Freeman of Canterbury by marriage and as a Citizen and Bricklayer he would have believed himself entitled to use the Guild Arms on his father's tombstone especially as the Company had relaxed its rules after the Great Fire of London in 1666 to allow non-freemeil to enjoy all its City Privileges. It is possible, of course, that a misreading of the Arms on Thomas Eastes headstone was responsible for the family using armorial insignia displaying a garb and three fleurs-de-lys.

      Other families did not adopt Arms until the mid-nineteenth century, when they were made aware of the Arms of the Estes of Ferrara displayed on the coinage of Niccolo d'Este. The Eastes of Whitstable and Sydney assumed the quarterings of Niccolo and Leonello d'Este: 1 and 4. Azure three fleurs-de-lys or (bestowed upon the family by Charles VII in 1432) and 2 and 3. Azure an eagle argent, beaked, membered and crowned gules. These were substantially the same Arms used by the Marquis Francesco in Burgundy as on the reverse of his portrait by Roger van der Weyden in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, though the lily quarterings were surrounded by a bordure 'double indented or and gules'.

      It is intriguing that the Este arms assumed by some of the American families in modern times not only features the fleurs-de-lys quartering .vith the double indented bordure but also a garb." These arms are blazoned in Burke's General Armoury as follows: Azure, three fleurs-de-lis or, within a bordure parted per bordure dancetee over all, exterior argent, interior gules. For crest - A garb or, banded gules. These would appear to be the legitimate arms of a well-known family of Este in England whose ancestor was in the court of James I and changed the spelling of his name from East to Este at the king's suggestion because of the belief that they were a branch of the Estes of Ferrara." In the eighteenth century the head of this family was the Reverend Charles Este, a nephew of Dr Charles Este, Bishop of Waterford, and a noted literary figure described as 'the most extraordinary character of his time'." His eldest son Charles Lambton Este (1775-1841), a naval surgeon and fidend of Lord Nelson, moved to Paiis where he married Sophie Charlotte, the daughter of the banker Sir. Robert Smyth, fifth baronet and friend of Tom Paine, in 1803, and assumed the style and title of Charles Edouard, Baron D'Este.

      Although all the male members of this family have been styled Baron D'Este, the direct succession has been as follows:

      1. Charles Edouard, Baron D'Este 1775-1841
      2. Charles Michel Oscar, Baron D'Este 1809-1879
      3. Beresford Alfred, Baron D'Este,' born 1840
      4. Charles, Baron D'Este, born c.1873
      These assumed Barons remained loyal to the Church of England, took English brides and were even assumed to belong to the nobility of France being given an entry, for instance, in the Annuaire General Heraldique edited by Jules Wigniolle (Paiis, 1904). They no longer used the English arms, however, replacing them with the antique blazon of the Italian family: Dazur, a 1'aigle d'argent armee dor
      . It would be interesting to know what pedigrees they possess and whether or not there is any connection between them and the English and American Estes. The garb in their crest suggests that they may originally have come from the Netherlands also. There is always the possibility of course that Este was plain East (as West is West) or that Estis was Eustace. Niel Gunson is a historian by profession and holds the position of Senior Feflow in Pacific Histo a The Australian National University in Canberra. His earliest Australian ancestors (a great gre grandfather) arrived in 1842. His mother's family arrived in 1853. His maternal grandmother was the last to arrive from England in 1889 and it is through her that he is descended from the Estes (Eastes) family. He grew up in the Victorian countryside before going to school and university in Melbourne. He has always been interested in family history and has been a member of the Genealogical Society of Victoria (of which he is a Fellow) since 1949. He was editor of its magazine for 20 years and was also instrumental in founding the Heraldry and Genealogy Society of Canberra in 1966. He has written or edited several books relating to the Pacific and also a local history.

      10. According to his mother's will he was aged 20 when he died which suggests that the first born Matthew did not survive infancy.

      12. N.E. Snow and M.M. Jillson (Snow-Estes Ancestry 2 vols. Hillburn, New York 1939, II, 3) incorrectly confuse Sylvester with his grandson of the same name who died in January 1692/3. Ellen Estes' marriage records make it plain that she was a 'maiden, age 24, whose parents are dead in Deal'.

      13. Snow and Jillson incorrectly attach the Waldershare family to Robert (born 1635), the eldest brother of Matthew and Richard of New England.

      14. Family Bible entries rarely gave details of the marriage of siblings so a younger generation would only see the names.

      15. Others argue that Robert (b.1603), father of the New England pioneers, had seven sons, though this is equally hypothetical.

      16. Samuel's wife's name is given by Dr Lucille Dillinger Alexander, The Estes Family of Virginia, Southern Kentucky, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas... Wayne N.J. 1990), 89.

      17. Dr Alexander (Estes Family, 88) is less certain about the identity of Thomas's wife but suggests Ann or Eliz. Ann Rogers. Several sources suggest that Thomas died in 1774 and cite Thomas's will in Crozier's Record of Spotsylvania Co VA, vol.i, 305. 18. The name of Elizabeth Jeeter was supplied by Deborah J. 1Gzer, a descendant of the second marriage.

      38. The precedent for name changes by Este, East and Eastes families was probably the adoption of the D'Este surname by the Duke of Sussex for his children by his morganatic wife in 1794.

      The family name, Eastes, has been spelt in *many* different ways. Eastes is
      the most common spelling in England and also one of the oldest. The Eastes of the USA
      (and Canada) are generally spelt Estes. Since this chart is following one of the
      American lines, I have adopted the Estes spelling here, even where another variant
      has been used (in most cases anyway).

      FORMAT:
      ------
      The following chart is presented in a modified LDS "Ancestral File" report format
      that I have devised as being the most efficient way of recording the information
      that I want to include. Entries for ESTES descendents (all surnames are in capitals) are
      given in the following format:

      :.. John ESTES (1725-1778) of Caroline Co, VA; d.Caroline Co, VA
      :.. [15,16,23,48,53,57,71,86,121,132,172]

      The "." before the name are generation counters, to find John's parents move back
      up the chart until you find an entry with one less "." (that is ":. "). Children of
      John would be listed with an extra period (ie: ":... "). The number(s) in the
      "(___)" refer to the year of birth and the year of death. Where the date is known
      to within a year or two I have used the abbreviation "c.". Where the date is a rougher
      estimate, within 5-10 years or so, I have used "abt.". Other abbreviations I have used
      are "bf" for before, "bt" for between and "af" or "aftr" for after. The locations given
      after the dates are the places of birth and death ("d."), where known. In a few
      places I have used the notation "b&d.", meaning that the person was born and died in
      the same county. Where possible I have given the locations as the county. In some
      entries a "," replaces "of". The numbers in the square brackets, "[__]" are references,
      which can be found at the end of the chart. Where an event has occured in an
      "independent city", that is a city that lies geographically within a county but is
      not politically part of that county, I have generally given the event as occuring
      in the county.

      Additional information may be given for selected individuals. "Rev.War" means the
      individual fought in the US Revolutionary War. "C.War" means the person fought in
      the US civil war. "CSA" means the person fought in the civil war on the side of the
      Confederate States of America (CSA).

      Limited information on travel patterns are given for some individuals. Eg:
      "Bertie Co, NC 1734-1741" indicates records place the individual in Bertie Co, NC
      between the years 1734 and 1741. The person may have been in the county before and/or
      after these dates, however the figures given those which are documented. Note that
      in some cases an individual may appear to have moved, whilst in fact an existing
      county may have been split and the person is in the new county. Details for travel
      patterns are mainly taken from census records and tax lists.

      Spouses of Estes descendents are listed in a similar fashion, with the following
      format:

      :.. +Mary MARSHALL (1726-1772); 1746, Caroline Co, VA
      :.. d.Caroline Co, VA [16,23,48,53,71,86,121,132,172]

      The "+" indicates the individual is a spouse. Marriage details are listed in the
      format: "; date, location" and usually are located between the birth and death
      locations, if they are listed, as above.

      Note that birth and death details are generally not listed for spouses. If you wish
      further information on spouses, such as their ancestry, see the reference section
      for contact details of those who submitted the information or refer to the Estes
      email contacts page (http://roots-boots.net/ft/estes/emails.html). Please
      don't ask me for ancestry of Estes wives - I am only interested in Estes and their
      descendents.

      A "-" at the start of a line indicates a significant degree of uncertainity about
      placement, that is, a guess or unsubstantiated claim.

      "K & Q Co, VA" is King and Queen Co, VA. Standard two-letter USA state abbreviations are
      used in most cases.

      ###################################################################

      ABRAHAM ESTES, born 1647 at Nonington, Kent, England. Abraham's baptism record
      does not survive, however he was mentioned in his mother's will. He was
      a linen weaver at Sandwich, Kent, by 1672. He married Ann Burton (a
      widow) on 29/12/1672, at Worth, Kent. Abraham emigrated to the British
      colonies in North America, arriving before 1682. On 20/4/1682 Lucy Keeling
      claimed headright for Abraham and 5 others, their passage to Virginia
      having previously been arranged and paid for by her deceased father,
      Thorowgood Keeling. Thorowgood died 8/1679, so it is probable Abraham either
      already arrived or his passage had been arranged prior to this. It was a common
      practice for wealthy residents in the America's to sponsor emigrants, who
      would then serve an indenture to pay off the cost of the voyage. The typical
      indenture lasted seven years, after which the emigrant would be free to marry
      and obtain his own property. Since Abraham was still in England by the start of
      1673 and was a "freeman" in Virginia by 1683, it is likely he voyaged to the
      America's around 1674/1675. According to an unsourced claim, Abraham arrived on
      the "Vana". It has been speculated that his first wife, Ann Burton, died
      enroute to Virginia, tho' there is no evidence. In 1683 he was living in New
      Kent Co, VA, before settling in the parish of St Stephen's, King and Queen
      County, VA. In 1683 he was a signatory of a petition whilst in St.
      Stephen's Parish. In 1704 he paid quit rent on 200 acres in King and
      Queen County. Abraham died 21/11/1720, in King and Queen County,
      Virginia, leaving his estate to his wife, Barbara. Barbara made her will
      25/11/1720, leaving part of the estate to several of her children and the
      remainder to Elisha Estes and Thomas Poor and wife Susanna, for the
      raising of Moses and Barbara, who upon their parents death's were
      raised by Thomas and Susanna Poor. Barbara's maiden name is a matter of some
      dispute. It has generally been claimed she was Barbara Brock, however there is
      no documentary evidence to support this.

      When did Abraham emigrate to Virginia? To date that question remains unanswered. There have
      been claims that he arrived on such-and-such ship at such-and-such date, but none of these
      claims can be verified and/or when checking the claimed sources, they are shown to be at best
      mistakes and at worst complete fabrications.

      One of the more recent claims was that Abraham arrived in Virginia in late 1673 or early 1674
      on the "Martha", which departed from London, England via Wales. The Captain was Abraham Wheelock
      and there were only three passengers on board, William Bobbet, Abraham Estes and John
      Skinner.[1433] That the "Martha" existed at the time and was captained by Abraham Wheelock
      appears to be reliably confirmed - the ship was a 'flyboat' and was a blockade runner. The
      Martha could carry 140 passengers but in this voyage appears to have carried mostly cargo - in
      an attempt to get through the Dutch blockade of Virginia.[1436] A proported painting of the ship
      by Jacob Knyff, made late 1673, hangs in the National Maritime Museum in London.[1434] Further,
      Abraham Wheelock filed a will 8/1673, prior to what he perceived as a perilous voyage although
      it does not state his destination.[1434] Wheeler evidently survived the voyage since he was alive
      in 1677.[1435]

      This all sounds great news for the descendents of Abraham, however all is not what it may seem.
      The sources for connecting Abraham Estes with the "Martha" alas do not stand up to closer
      scrutiny. One source helpfully states its source as "a book in Virginia section of Mesa Regional
      Family History Center".[1436] Not very helpful and in reality, impossible to verify. Another
      source gives a more detailed and, at first glance, conclusive source: "Cavaliers and Pioneers,
      Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, Vol. 2: 1666-1695. Indexed by Claudia Grundman.
      Richmond, VA: Virginia State Library, 1977, 609p, Nell Marion Nugent. Page: 146".[1434] An
      inspection of the page in question reveals, well, nothing.[1438] At best the source is wrong,
      at worst it is a fabrication. In fact "Cavaliers and Pioneers" lists land patents and deeds, it
      does not list passenger records! Another source is given for this claim - it was supposedly
      recorded in the family bible of Isham Drury Bobbitt Jr.[1436] How well does this source hold up?
      We will never know - the bible in question was destroyed sometime before 1840.[1437] Possibly a
      transcription was made before the bible was destroyed, but even if it was, one has to be more
      than a trifle skeptical of the validity of this source!

      The conclusion? Lacking any verifiable sources for the claim that Abraham arrived in Virginia
      on the "Martha" in early 1674, one must view the claim with a high degree of skepticism,
      especially in light of one source being destroyed before 1840 and the other making no reference
      to the "Martha" or Abraham at all (apart from a latter reference in 1682 to Abraham). Did Abraham
      arrive on the "Martha" early 1674? It's possible, but there's no evidence for it. Equally likely
      he could have arrived in 1675 on the "Mary" or flown to Virginia on a magic carpet!

      Biography

      Abraham Estes was born about 1647 at Ringwould, Kent, England.

      Abraham Estes was the subject of research posted by Roberta Estes in her blog "DNAeXplained - Genetic Genealogy" (http://dna-explained.com/) titled 'Abraham Estes, (c 1647-1720), The Immigrant, 52 Ancestors #35, dated August 3, 2014. A comprehensive biography is found in Roberta's article.

      The publication, "Seventeenth century colonial ancestors of members of the National Society of Colonial Dames XVII century, 1915-1975" gives Abraham's birth and death dates as 1647 - 1720. [1] His Find a Grave Memorial indicates birth and death dates of 1647 - Nov. 21, 1720 [2]

      Occupation
      Occupation: Linen Weaver

      By 1672, Abraham was a linen weaver at Sandwich, Kent Co., Eng., age 25, when he married Anne, widow of John Burton. Soon after Anne died, Abraham emigrated to the American colonies, arriving in the parish of Lyndhaven (Old Westmoreland Co.), Virginia, on 20 Apr 1682. He settled in the parish of St. Stevens in King and Queen Co., VA, where he met and married Barbara Brock. In 1683, he signed the St. Stevens Parish petition. "Abraham Easter emigrant: Thorogood Keeling brought [him] to Lower Norfolk Parish of Lyndhaven on Apr 20, 1682 ..married Barbara Brock, daughter of Robert Brock."

      Marriage
      Most sources indicate that Abraham married 1st, Anne Burton, a widow, and 2nd,Barbara Brock. Barbara's maiden name and parentage, although said to be Brock, is currently unknown. [3]

      Note: Although in most narratives, Barbara is said to be the daughter of Robert Brock this is not proved. Barbara's maiden name and parents are not known.

      Immigration to America
      On April 20,1682 Lucy Keeling claimed headright for Abraham and 5 others, their passage to Virginia having previously been arranged and paid for by her deceased father, Thorowgood Keeling. Thorowgood died 8/1679, so it is probable Abraham either already arrived or his passage had been arranged prior to this. It was a common practice for wealthy residents in the America's to sponsor emigrants, who would then serve an indenture to pay off the cost of the voyage. The typical indenture lasted seven years, after which the emigrant would be free to marry and obtain his own property. Since Abraham was still in England by the start of 1673 and was a "freeman" in Virginia by 1683, it is likely he voyaged to the America's around 1674/1675. According to an unsourced claim, Abraham arrived on the "Vana". It has been speculated that his first wife, Ann Burton, died enroute to Virginia, tho' there is no evidence. In 1683 he was living in New Kent Co, VA, before settling in the parish of St Stephen's, King and Queen County, VA. In 1683 he was a signatory of a petition whilst in St. Stephen's Parish. In 1704 he paid quit rent on 200 acres in King and Queen County. Abraham died 21/11/1720, leaving his estate to his wife, Barbara. Barbara made her will 25/11/1720, leaving part of the estate to several of her children and the remainder to Elisha Estes and Thomas Poor and wife Susanna, for the raising of Moses and Barbara, who upon their parents deaths were raised by Thomas and Susanna Poor.

      The Arrival of Abraham Estes in Virginia
      This section has been reproduced from: The Arrival of Abraham Estes in Virginia , by David Powell
      David Powell writes, "I would like to acknowledge the assistance of Cheryl Singhal in the preparation of this article. Following a post I made to soc.genealogy Cheryl did some digging around for me and some of the following is the result of her research. Cheryl is not an Estes descendent, rather she is a genealogist specializing in the time when Abraham arrived in the New World.
      Most Estes researchers (from the USA at least) are descendants of Abraham Estes, whether confirmed or suspected. Given this great interest in the descendants of Abraham, an important question that has been unanswered is just when did Abraham depart from England and voyage to the New World Colonies.
      "Traditionally" (at least in the past 15 years or so), it has been held that Abraham arrived in Virginia on the 20th April, 1682. This claim is based on evidence from "Cavaliers & Pioneers", to wit:
      Lucy Keeling, dau of Thorowgood Keeling, dec'd 300 acs, Lower Norfolk County, Lynhaven Par, 20 April 1682, p 146. Beginning on a poynt on the Dildoe Br, to br dividing this & Jno. Johnson, & C. Bequeathed by sd Keeling to sd Lucy to be possessed with the same after the death of his wife Lucy--(now Lucy Haies) etc. Transportation of 6 persons: Abraham Easter, Jno Rose, Richard Cook, Margaret Woollingham, Elizab. Sixworth, Robt. Calderwood [4]
      But does this prove that Abraham arrived on that date? Despite the assumption by many Estes researchers that it does, in fact it only proves that Abraham was in Virigina on this date. The date that appears in Cavaliers & Pioneers is the date of the assizes (court) session when head right was assigned for Abraham. There was no time limit for applying for a head right claim [5]
      Just what do we know for sure about when and where Abraham was around this time? On the 29th December, 1672, he was in Worth, County Kent, England, when he married Ann Burton.[6] The next documented appearance by Abraham (apart from the head right claim) was in 1683 when he was a signatory on a petition whilst living in St. Stephens Parish, New Kent County.[7] In 1704 he paid land tax on 200 acres in King and Queen County (which was formed from New Kent County).[8]Abraham died 21st November, 1720, in King and Queen County, Virginia.[9]
      So we know Abraham was somewhere in Virginia in mid 1682 and by 1683 he had moved to King and Queen County, where he remained until he died. But where was Abraham between 1672 and 1682? And just when did he sail?
      The following I will quote directly from Cheryl:
      "On 20th April 1682, approximately 600 head rights were recorded (per Nugent's Cavaliers & Pioneers). Counting the 100 patentees, that's over 700 persons at a time. There is no way they were all off the same ship. Ships of the era simply didn't carry that many passengers. A passenger complement of 70 would be usual and 200 would be very overcrowded and under-provisioned. Nor would it be likely that multiple ships carrying smaller numbers of passengers would have all arrived the same day."
      "I noted as part of the in-depth process the number of recordings for 20th April 1682 were over 100 persons who patented or recorded land that day. Additionally, a roughly similar number of records appeared on or about the 20th of every month. That suggests it wasn't a ship arrival, but rather some sort of "Assizes" or "court day"."
      "More specifically, the entry which mentions Abraham does not by any means confirm his recent arrival. His passage was paid for by Thorowgood Keeling, who was dead by 20th April 1682. Thorowgood's wife Lucy (now Lucy Hales) inherits and, upon her death, the land goes to their daughter Lucy; the head rights, which got Thorowgood the right to the land, are listed and include Abraham. However, there is an earlier entry (1675) that mentions Thorowgood's land, in the same vicinity. It is entirely possible that the head right importations occurred prior to 1675 and were simply never patented until it became part of the estate settlement."
      Which basically says that Abraham arrived in Virginia before 1682 and possibly as early as 1675, if not before then.
      Another pertinent fact is when Thorowgood Keeling died. We know from the Cavaliers and Pioneers quote that Thorowgood had died by 1682 since the quote refers to his widow. Since Thorogood was Abraham's sponsor, one can reasonably assume that Thorowgood died after Abraham arrived in Virginia or at least after Abraham's passage had been booked and paid for by Thorowgood.
      Thorowgood Keeling died sometime in 1679: his will was made 31st March, 1679 and was probated 15th August, 1679. Since the voyage from England to Virginia took less than 4 months, we can safely conclude that Abraham had arrived in Virginia by at least 1679.
      At this time I am not aware of any documented evidence which could pinpoint Abraham's arrival in Virginia any more precisely than sometime between 1673-1679. However, speculation and general practices at the time can help shed some more light. Quoting again from Cheryl:
      "The operation seems to have worked thusly: Thorowgood had money, but needed field hands, so he found some field hands in England, paid their ticket to Virginia, they worked at current wages until they'd repaid the cost; at that time, they moved on and obtained land of their own. The typical indenture was for 7 years."
      Abraham was a free man in 1683 when he signed the St Stephens Petition,[4] thus if he had served the usual indenture time, he would have arrived in Virginia by at least 1675. Likely a few years before this since he would have needed a few years after working off his indenture in order to gain the capital to purchase his own land (according to the law at the time only land-owners had voting rights and thus the right to sign a petition). As for why Abraham waited until around 1684 to marry – he was not in a financial position to support a family until after he had paid off his indenture (men rarely married until they had paid off their indenture).
      So if we assume Abraham followed the standard route of an indentured arrival, he most likely arrived in Virginia around 1673/1674 – remembering he married in England a few days before the end of 1672.
      According to "family tradition" (and we all know what that means), Abraham's first wife died young, possibly due to complications with their first child, either enroute to Virginia or just prior to Abraham's departure (an exhaustive search has failed to find any trace of children for in England).[10]
      If the family tradition is true, then Abraham would have traveled to the America's sometime in 1673. Is it a coincidence that this matches the date estimated above? I suspect not!
      I have seen an undocumented claim that Abraham arrived in Virginia in 1674 on the Vana, however I have not been able to substantiate this claim.
      Where to from here? Several suggestions have been made which someone in the USA may care to follow up. The 1673-1682 estate settlements for Lower Norfolk Co, VA (where Thorogood Keeling lived), may shed some light on Abraham's movements (especially for 1679). The Library of Virginia (which houses the state's Archives) may have additional information. There is also a Maritime Museum in Newport News, VA, across the bay from Norfolk. They may have pertinent information. [11]
      A Noble beginning ?
      The Estes name has had many spellings and pronounciations over the centuries. Ewstas, Eustas, Eastye, Eastes, D’Eastes, De Este, d’Este and the American spelling of Estes. The family history has been traced as far back as the time of Charlemagne. For a comprehensive treatise on the Estes family origins see House of Este

      We will begin here in 1430 with the birth of Francesco Di Leonnello d’Este, illegitimate son of Leonello d'Este, Marquis of Ferrara. At the time of his death in 1450, Francesco’s father, Leonello had only one legitimate heir, his 12 year old son Niccolo. So it was Francesco’s uncle Borso d'Este who inherited the titles, land and estates. When Borso died in 1471 his half brother Ercole inherited the titles and estate. That same year Ercole had suspicions that Francesco was after his new titles. So he convinced him to leave Ferrara and go live in the Burgundy area in France. To make sure he would leave immediately, he gave him horses and clothes and 500 ducats. So Francesco left and settled in Burgundy. Some years later he moved to Ringwould, near Deal, Kent County England. This was described in words written on the back of the painting of Francesco found in a collection of paintings near Ferrara. Recent information suggests Francesco lastly migrated to Vaud, Grandson, Switzerland where he was killed at the Battle of Grandson on March 2, 1476. Sometime after arriving in England, the name was shortened and the d’ was dropped. Francesco’s son and grandson went by the spelling Ewstas. That brings us to the English line of Estes (Ewstas).

      Note: The note on the back of the painting of Francesco d'Este, which hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, that is said to have proved his presence in Ringwould, does not mention an actual destination and so can not be said to prove that he moved to Kent. [12] [13]
      Robert Estes(Ewstas) was born in Kent County, England in 1475. He lived his entire life in England and died on Oct 14, 1506. Robert’s son Nicholas Estes(Ewstas) was born in 1495. In 1520 Nicholas married a woman named Anny(1498 - 1533). He died in 1533 in the same place he was born. By his own request stated in his will, he was buried in the cemetery at St. Leonard Church in Deal. His son Sylvester Estes was born 1522 also in Ringwould, Kent County England where in 1545 he married Jone (1525 - 1561). He died on June 6th, 1579.One of Sylvester’s sons was Robert Estes 1555 - 1616 who, like his father, never left Kent County. He married Anne Woodward 1570 - 1630 [14]

      Robert’s son Sylvester Estes was born September 26, 1596 and died in December 1667 in Ringwould, Kent County England. His occupation is listed in English records as that of a Husbandman, Yeoman and Church Warden. He was married to Ellen Martin 1600 - 1649. It was the next generation that left England. That brings us to Abraham Estes, the subject of this profile. [15] Can Abraham and his descendants trace their line to the royal line of d'Este ? Could the family tradition true after all ?

      Although there is the persistent and widespread family story about the family originating from Italian royalty, descent of the Estes line from Francesco Di Leonnello d’Este is unproven.[16] [17] Recent DNA testing and analysis has shed new light on this old family tradition. The March 26, 2015 posting of the results of this study can be found at Estes Big Y DNA Results.

      Descendant of a Magna Carta Baron ?
      Many Estes family trees link Abraham's line to one or more Magna Carta signers. The Wikitree relationship finder revealed an ancestral trail from Hugh Bigod, one of the 25 Magna Carta barons, to Abraham Estes. Although, the section of this line from Petronella Clinton to the Bigods is fairly well documented and thought to be accurate, however Petronella Clinton's connection to Sylvester Estes is not as certain. The line from Sylvester Estes to Petronella Clinton was unproved and hinged on poorly sourced user generated family trees. (See Anne Woodward Estes). Recent research has proved those links to Hugh Bigod in be in error.

      Note: Anne Woodward Estes parents, John and Elizabeth Woodward have been removed as there is no verifiable evidence that supports their relationship as her parents. This indicates that the trail from Abraham Estes to Hugh Bigod through Anne Woodward Estes is in error. Additionally, the trail from Abraham Estes to Hugh Bigod through Ellen Martin has also been disproved. The trail between the remaining 16 Magna Carta surety barons and Abraham Estes has not been tried or proven. Abraham Estes is being removed from the Questionable Gateway Ancestor category based on the lack of additional evidence that there may be a line between Abraham and one of the remaining Magna Carta barons.

      DNA Test Results
      "One of the things we hoped to prove when we began this project was whether or not Samuel Estes, found in Spotsylvania County, and Abraham Estes were sons of the Abraham who died in 1720/21. By testing the Y DNA of males who descend from these two men, we can tell if they are from this Estes line, although we cannot prove, beyond a doubt that they were Abraham’s sons. Given that we know that Abraham was the only known Estes to be living in this location in Virginia at this time, we could then surmise that they were his sons if they matches Abraham’s Y DNA finger print.

      Genealogists hate that word, surmise.

      To be clear, there are some mystery Estes men who also showed up in Virginia, but we have absolutely no further records of them, and it’s possible they didn’t survive. David Powell covers this in his article, 'American Estes Before Abraham.'

      We’ve been fortunate in the Estes DNA Project that many Estes descendants are looking for their roots. Even better, many of the people who tested had their lines proven back to Abraham. -Robert Estes, DNA Explained (used with permission)[18]

      I make no claim regarding the accuracy of this chart; the original sources are not free from error and a degree of guesswork is involved in genealogy. I have attempted to eliminate errors and uncertainties for those parts of the tree where duplicate records exist (where discrepancies have occurred with dates I have either gone with the majority or the source(s) I considered likely to be more accurate) and I have also checked the location and spellings of towns/counties when possible.

      Also note that the references vary in reliability, some have been carefully documented by the person listed in the reference, others are totally unsubstantiated/unsourced. Even the primary records and the well documented references are not to be accepted blindly in case of typographic/transcription errors; also while information on a given individual may be accurately known from primary records in some cases, information linking that individual to prior generations may be less certain. Finally, this chart is meant only as a guide, anyone finding extra generations of their line
      from this chart should verify the information either by personally evaluating the references or contacting those listed.

      The family name, Eastes, has been spelt in *many* different ways. Eastes is the most common spelling in England and also one of the oldest. The Eastes of the USA (and Canada) are generally spelt Estes. Since this chart is following one of the American lines, I have adopted the Estes spelling here, even where another variant has been used (in most cases anyway).

      This chart picks up the family from the generation of Abraham (1647-1720), for previous generations see the separate EASTES file, accessible via the Estes web page (see url above).

      FORMAT:
      ------
      The following chart is presented in a modified LDS "Ancestral File" report format that I have devised as being the most efficient way of recording the information that I want. Entries for ESTES descendents (all surnames are in capitals) are given in the following format:

      : . . John ESTES (1725-1778) of Caroline/Spots. Co, VA; d.Caroline Co, VA
      : . . [15,16,23,48,53,57,71,86,121,132,172]

      The "." before the name are generation counters, to find John's parents move back up the chart until you find an entry with one less "." (that is ": . ").

      Children of John would be listed with an extra period (ie: ": . . . ").

      The number(s) in the "(...)" refer to the year of birth and the year of death. Where the date is known to within a year or two I have used the abbreviation "c.".

      Where the date is a rougher estimate, within 5 years or so, I have used "abt.".

      Other abbreviations I have used are "bf" for before and "af" or "aftr" for after.

      The locations given after the dates are the places of birth and death ("d."), where known.

      In a few places I have used the notation "b&d.", meaning that the person was born and died in the same county.

      Where possible I have given the locations as the county. In some entries a "," replaces "of".

      The numbers in the square brackets, "[..]" are references, which can be found at the end of the chart. Where an event has occured in an "independent city", that is a city that lies geographically within a county but is not politically part of that county, I have generally given the event as occuring in the county.

      Spouses of Estes descendents are listed in a similar fashion, with the following format: (Note that birth and death details are usually not listed for spouses)

      : . . +Mary MARSHALL (1726-1772); 1746, Caroline Co, VA
      : . . d.Caroline Co, VA [16,23,48,53,71,86,121,132,172]

      The "+" indicates the individual is a spouse. Marriage details are listed in the format: "; date, location" and usually are located between the birth and death locations, if they are listed, as above.

      A ":*" at the start of a line indicates a significant degree of uncertainity about placement, that is, a guess or unsubstantiated claim. "K & Q Co, Va" is King and Queen Co, VA. Standard two-letter USA state abbreviations have been in most cases,for the sake of space.

      ABRAHAM ESTES, born 1647 at Nonington, Kent, England. Abraham's baptism record
      does not survive, however he was mentioned in his mother's will. He was
      a linen weaver at Sandwich, Kent, by 1672. He married Ann Burton (a
      widow), 29/12/1672, at Worth, Kent. Abraham emigrated to the British
      colonies in North America, arriving in the parish of Lyndhaven (Old
      Westmoreland Co.), Virginia, on 20/4/1682. In 1683 he was living in New
      Kent Co, VA, before settling in the parish of St Stephen's, King and Queen
      County, VA. In 1683 he was a signatory of a petition whilst in St.
      Stephen's Parish. In 1704 he paid quit rent on 200 acres in King and
      Queen County. Abraham died 21/11/1720, in King and Queen County,
      Virginia, leaving his estate to his wife, Barbara. Barbara made her will
      25/11/1720, leaving part of the estate to several of her children and the
      remainder to Elisha Estes and Thomas Poor and wife Susanna, for the
      raising of Moses and Barbara, who upon their parents death's were
      raised by Thomas and Susanna Poor.
