My Estill Family of

Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama

I have some sketchy information on prior generations but let's start with
Wallis ESTILL born ca 1702 Monmouth Co, NJ, married 3 times.
His first wife died after only three months. He then married Mary BOUDE   in New Jersey ca 1732. They moved to Augusta County, VA where she died during the birth of their sixth child in Jan 1747. Children by this marriage were: Boude, Benjamin, Rebecca, John, Susannah, and Marca.

Wallis eloped with Lady Mary Ann CAMPBELL in 1748, her parents objecting to the marriage due to the disparity in ages. (She was 17, he 46)

1) Sarah ESTILL ~ b.Jan 1749, md. 1) Joseph KELLER

My line continues from:
William ESTILL married Martha WRIGHT. They lived in Kentucky and Winchester County, Tennessee. He died in Winchester, TN ca 1840. I don't know much on "Mattie" except she was the daughter of Peter and Jane (Hughart) WRIGHT.

Children:

Jane ESTILL~ md Leonard TARRANT Sep 1812

James ESTILL and Eudocia HENDERSON married by 1812 in Franklin County, TN where he is on the tax list. James evidently died fairly young in 1824.  The widow Eudocia is found in the household of daughter Caroline and family in 1860 and 1870 in Talladega Co, AL. She later moved to Belton TX where son William lived, and died there in 1887.

They were married by Caroline's uncle, Leonard TARRANT.  They are both buried in the Wilson Family Cemetery in Alpine, Alabama. Caroline Estill WILSON died 28 Mar 1876 of consumption.
