| 2601 | [1]...LEWIS LESTER, SR (AA) oldest son of JACOB LESTER and his first wife, with family moved to Oglethorpe County Georgia in the early part of the year 1800. [2]...LEWIS LESTER, SR (AA) was listed as a revolutionary war soldier in the land draws of Georgia, but there has been no record found. There were many reasons for being allowed a land draw, rather than military service and he must have qualified for one of those. He drew #746 in Oglethorpe County Georgia. [3]...Oglethorpe County Georgia is a hilly, rural county just east of Athens Clarke County Georgia. The Broad River, which was a major river way at one time, flows near the county line and this was one of the first settled areas of Georgia, after the settlement by Oglethorpe near the ocean. LEWIS LESTER, SR (AA) was on the 1800 census of Oglethorpe County Georgia. He was listed as the following: Four males under 10, one male age 10-16, two males 16-20, one male over 45 and one female age 26-45. Five slaves and a farmer. [4]...LEWIS LESTER & RHOADA LESTER (AA) were listed as among the origional founders of the Beaverdam Primitive Baptist Church in Oglethorpe County Georgia. This Church was founded 20 September 1800. LEWIS and RHOADA are believed to be buried near this Church, but no proof has been found. [1,2,3,4] excerpts from WILLIAM "BILL" L LESTER'S research [5] Lewis Lester was head of a household of six whites and seven blacks in Chesterfield County in 1783.[a] Lewis bought 400 acres on Reedy Creek in Lunenburg County 8 February 1787,[b] and was married to Rhoda — and still residing in Chesterfield County when they deeded 200 acres in Lunenburg County to John Gordon 23 November 1791.[c] Lewis was later in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. [5] reference - from "The Family History of John W. Pritchett" [a] Heads of Families at the First Census 1790, Virginia, p and col 51C [b] Lunenburg County Deed Book 15 p 16 [c] Lunenburg County Deed Book 15 p 350 [6] They are shown in 1800 census living in Captain McCartney's militia district. There were 9 members of his family plus 5 slaves. Also shown in the same district was a Thomas Lester and Alexander Lester, relationships, if any, not known for sure. Alexander believed to be a cousin. [7] He left property, livestock, cash, and 18 slaves to his heirs. Mentioned in his will were his wife, sons Josiah, Lewis Jr., Pleasant, William, Isham, and Jacob and his daughters, Polly Short and Elizabeth Whitsell. [8] After Moving to Oglethorpe Co., Lewis purchased a total of 300 acres on Cloud's Creek in the northern part of the county. This land was bought from 3 different people for a total of $900. He also owned at least 200 acres just across the line into Madison Co. and another 202 1/2 acres in Morgan Co. 40 miles to the south. Pleasant Lester lived on the Madison county property, the gr gr grandfather of Bill Lester. Bill is a dear friend and cousin of Tucker, GA [9] Another son, William, lived on the tract in Morgan Co., GA. [6, 7, 8, 9] from Riffe family site | LESTER, Lewis Sr. (I13273)

| 2614 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [1]...It is believed that there were 7 children born to this family, 2 names unknown | LESTER, Sarah E (I13381)
|
| 2615 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [1]...JACOB LESTER (A) and his first wife are the oldest known ancestors of this family history. They were probably born in Virginia, sometime in the first half of the 1700's. The name of JACOB"S first wife is not known but it is belived that her maiden name was "LEWIS" a name given to LESTER men in each generation since. [1a]...According to the research of John W. Pritchett JACOB LESTER's father is ROBERT LESTER. No other information source has been discovered that will corroborate this fact. However, on Mr. Pritchett's web site, www.virginians.com, he sites the following reference for this fact: "Henrico County, VA Orphan's Court Records 1755-1762 The Virginia Genealogist Vol 34 Page 122. I haven't viewed this source but believe that the information is probably correct. _____________________________________________________________________ [2]...JACOB LESTER (A) lived in Chesterfield County Virginia, this is southwest of Richmond in a rural area. He was on the census of Chesterfield County Virginia in 1783 and 1790. _____________________________________________________________________ [3]...The revolutionary war records of Chesterfield County Virginia show that JACOB LESTER had 33 bushels of corn taken by the United States Army in 1781 and 275 pounds of beef in September 1781. No military record of JACOB LESTER has been found. _____________________________________________________________________ [4]...JACOB LESTER (A2) was married for the second time about 1787 in Chesterfield County Virginia to MARTHA MILES, there were no children. No other information on this marriage at this time. [1,2,3,4] excerpts from WILLIAM "BILL" L LESTER'S research [rdwjr]...There is a conflict in the information for the marriage date of JACOB and MARTHA MILES. File 101A.txt contains note [4] just above this paragraph while File 101B.txt contains the following note similar to [4] "JACOB LESTER (A2) was married for the second time 10 Apr 1805 to MARTHA HAMLETT in Chesterfield Co. Va. there were no children. No other information on this marriage at this time. " This is also in conflict with the information in [5] below which states a marriage date of 1887. This clearly is a typrographical error and I assume it to be 1787 which would match the first file's, 101A.txt, information. Will have to research further. _____________________________________________________________________ [5]...Jacob Lester and Marrtha Miles were married 1887. Ministers returned by Rev John Goods. Chesterfield Co Va. Will Bk 4 part 2 pg 381. Jacobs Lester's will, legaties. Wife Martha, sons Lewis Lester & Jeremiah Lester, dau Elizabeth Walthall, dau Ann Clark, dau Mary Clark, gr-son Jacob Lester, gr-dau Mealy Lester. Appi. executors sons Lewis & Jermiah, (signed) Jacob Lester. [6] is information received from Mrs. C J Collins of Florida Chesterfield Co Va Marriages Jacob Lester Mar Nartha Hamlett 10 Apr 1805. Don't know at this time whitch is right about the marriages. [6] Jacob Lester, a son of Robert Lester, was bound out 2 May 1758.[a] Chesterfield County charged Jacob Lester with one tithable in 1756,[b] and three, including his son Josiah, in 1762. [c] He was head of a household of three whites and six blacks in Chesterfield County in 1783.[d] In 1764 Jacob Lester bought 86 acres in Chesterfield County from Morgan Lester for £40. Tabitha — also signed the deed.[e] Morgan Lester, possibly Jacob’s brother, was head of a household of seven whites in Chesterfield County in 1783.[f] Jacob’s will in Chesterfield County named two sons, three married daughters, and grandchildren, Jacob Lester and Mealy Lester. His wife was then Martha — (will dated 7 Dec. 1793,[g] recorded 13 Oct. 1794[h] ). References for [6] from "The Family History of John W.

| 2621 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [1]..Sons WILLIAM and LEWIS NEWTON LESTER were killed in same battle while serving the CSA. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ [rdwjr]...I don't understand why LEWIS NEWTON LESTER is not a Johnson, unless he is the son of another family member taken in and raised by SANFORD JOHNSON and ELIZA LESTER. This is something bearing further research. <19-June-2005> _______________________________________________________________________________________________ | LESTER, Eliza (I13300)
|
| 2622 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr] Watson was a few months into his 13th year when he died. At this time there is no information about the circumstances of his early death. - <19-June-2005> | LESTER, Watson (I13297)
|
| 2623 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...(UNK) WEAVER son's entry is annotated with the following "Ser/CSA". No addtional information about his service in the Confederate Army at this time. <19-June-2005> | WEAVER, Josiah S (I13328)
|
| 2624 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...ANDREW WEAVER's entry is annotated with the following "Serve/CSA". No addtional information about his service in the Confederate Army at this time. <19-June-2005> | WEAVER, Andrew (I13327)
|
| 2625 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...Appears to be inconsistent data concerning the DIED entry for JOSIAH LESTER as a child in File 105A.txt states "in CSA, MARKS MILL, AR." and File as head of family page File 113A.txt states "*OUACHITA CO, AR" Both statements may be correct but additional research is required to determine what should be used. The " * " shown in front of the File 113A.txt entry directs the reader to the Remarks section of the file where we find the statement "*Died in service of CSA" <20-June-2005> Directions to Marks Hill Cemetery. Taken off the internet "...Thornton, south of Fordyce, also has antiques. Civil War buffs will find Marks' Hill Cemetery on Hwy. 95 North interesting. Located just north of Marks' Hill, a state historic site commemorating a Civil War battle, the cemetery holds Confederate dead killed in the battle." Conclusion: Both entries are likely correct as it appears that Marks Hill is a state historic site in Arkansas and not a town. Therefore, it appears that JOSIAH LESTER was killed at the battle of Marks Hill and buried in Quachita County, AR. I have been unable to find he exact location of this historic site or cemetery. | LESTER, Josiah (I13301)

| 2626 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...CARION W LESTER was 4.5 years old when death took her. <19-June-2005> | LESTER, Carion W (I13361)
|
| 2627 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...data inconsistencies noted for THOMAS J LESTER (AAC CG) are as follows: File 109A.txt shown as child: DOB = 03-Apr-1849 DOD = 09-Dec-1889 File 132A.txt shown as adult: DOB = 04-Mar-1849 DOD = 12-Dec-1887 This information will have to be researched before deciding which dates are correct. _________________________________________________________________________ [1] Other children were probably born to this family. | LESTER, Thomas J (I13336)
|
| 2628 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...data inconsistency noted with name of WILLIAM LESTER, SR (AAE) wife, SARAH BROOKS. In File 125A.txt where she is referenced as the mother of SARAH LESTER (AAE A) her name is shown as SARAH BROWN but in File 107A.txt where she is shown as the wife of WILLIAM she is called SARAH BROOKS. <21-June-2005> ___________________________________________________________________________________________ | BROOKS, Sarah (I13317)
|
| 2629 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...data inconsistency with date of birth: File 105A.txt where FRANCES M LESTER is shown as a child his DOB is shown as 26-FEB 1837 while File 118A.txt where he is shown as an adult his DOB is shown as 16-FEB-1837. <21-June-2005> ______________________________________________________________________________________________ | LESTER, Francis M (I13308)
|
| 2630 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...File 255A.txt, adult, shows the following entry for date of death "1970 ? Sometime Later" | LESTER, Charlton Ross Sr. (I13674)
|
| 2631 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...Inconsistent data concerning COY B BENTON's date of death. File 160A.txt, child page, shows his date of death as 1928 whilst File 223A.txt, adult page, shows his date of death as 1938. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ | BENTON, Coy Barnie (I13583)
|
| 2632 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...inconsistent data in source material. ROBERT LEON LESTER, SR date of death is shown in all refernce files as 09-Dec-1965 yet the marriage date to his third wife, EMAYUEL REID HARPER, is shown as 25-Nov-1967 and there were two children of this union born in 1969. However that information is suspect too because the birth of ROBERT CAMERON LESTER is listed as 2-Dec-1969, and his brother's date of birth is listed as 1-Nov-1969. Since none of this makes sense I've elected to leave out ROBERT LEON LESTER's date of death as well as the date of births of his two sons by this union until such time as we can prove the correct dates. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ | LESTER, Robert Leon Sr. (I13707)
|
| 2633 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...inconsistent data: File 151A.txt lists name as HUBERT PATMAN "PAT" LESTER as a child. While File 201A.txt, the adult file, his name is listed as HERBERT PATMAN "PAT" LESTER, SR. Guessing I would say that the name in File 201A.txt is the correct one and that is the one we will go with for now. However, this fact will have to be researched in order to settle question. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ [rdwjr}...inconsistent data: Date of death for HUBERT PATMAN "PAT" LESTER in File 151A.txt is 19 Aug 1970 while in File HERBERT PATMAN "PAT" LESTER, SR. it is shown as 19 Aug 1978. This is another data problem requring addtional research. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ | LESTER, Herbert Patman (I13524)
|
| 2634 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...Inconsistent data: LAWRENCE J BRADBURY's date of birth is listed as 12-OCT-1931 and the brith of his child, MILDRED PEGGY BRADBURY is liste as 12-Sep-1932, meaning that most likely the date of LAWRENCE's birth is incorrect. Therefore, I did not input his date of birth since I believe it is wrong. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ | BRADBERRY, Lawrence J (I14044)
|
| 2635 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...JERALD MALLORY LESTER's date of birth is listed as 1988 which probably is not correct as it would mean that his father, ARTHUR MALLORY LESTER would be 82 years old when he sired JERALD. We have no information on the age of ARTHUR LESTER's wife, HELEN JENKINS. File 253A.txt ________________________________________________________________________________________________ | LESTER, Jerald Mallory (I13935)
|
| 2636 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...JOSHUA LESTER's first wife was MARY EBERHART while his second wife was ANGELINE EBERHART, sister of Mary, JOSHUA's first wife. Though not proven it is fairly safe to assume that MARY must have died and then JOSHUA married her sister. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ | LESTER, Joshua (I13321)

|
| 2638 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...There appears to be a data inconsistency with the bithdates of (INFANT SON) LESTER being born on 15-Aug-1875 then OTIS YOUNG LESTER is shown being born on 6-Nov-1875, 3 months later. Will have to research this anomaly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ | GRIFFITH, Sarah E (White) (I13401)
|
| 2639 | [Lester_20050619.FTW] [rdwjr]...Tragedy seems to have visited this poor family many times. Three babies died in infancy, a son, WILLIAM WALKER LESTER dies at 15 and the only child to reach adulthood, their oldest child, FRANCES LOUISE LESTER, doen't have any children as far as we know in her marriage to Charles Jackson Collins. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ | LESTER, Charley Baldwin (I13443)

| 2648 | [rdwjr] Discovered two different dates for NANCY ARNOLD's death: 109A.txt shows death date as "13-OCT-1877" with no location shown. 136A.txt shows death date as "15-APR-1858" with location of "SHELBY COUNTY, IN" I will hold this fact in a conflict status until other corroborating evidence proves one or the other or neither to be correct. For the moment, though, I will use the 15-APR-1858 date since it comes with more detail, i.e., a location. Russell Wood conifirmed date of death to be 13 Oct 1877 via email dated 30 Mar 2006 | ARNOLD, Nancy (I371)
|
| 2649 | [rdwjr] Discprencies exist between different source documents as follows: source 112A.txt shows her dying in "MARSHALL COUNTY, KY' and buried in "MARSHALL COUNTY, KY" source 156A.txt shows her dying in "RANDOLPH COUNTY, NC and buried in "MARSHALL COUNTY, KY" Since source 112A seems more plausible it will be used until such time as it is proven incorrect. | WOOD, Nancy (I624)
|
| 2650 | [rdwjr] HANNAH JACKSON's death date was entered as 1842-3 in the source material, 137A.txt, since this format is not acceptable to FTM 2005 I've elected to use abt 1842 until better evidence can be discovered. | JACKSON, Hannah (I748)
