      Surnames: Jestes, Justice
      I frequently research collateral lines when doing Genealogy and am leaving this brief string if anyone comes along later and finds it useful. (Note: This particular branch of the family seemed to prefer the spelling Jestes, at least in the early 1900’s, so that is what I am using.) This is an update of a posting I made recently on the Jestes Board.
      Bert Jestes b.Apr 1882TN (prob Morgan Co) married in abt.1902 Loula Rogers b.May 1883NC. Lula was the dau of Hugh W Rogers b.21Apr1831TN d. June1908 CherokeeCo.NC and Laura A Gouger b. 28Apr1837 Wade Co., GA d.23Jan1914 Cherokee Co., NC. More on this family and ancestry can be found at www.gencircles.com/users/gcwec4474/1.
      Bert Jestes lists his WW1 Draft Registration as Ick Bert Jestes and was one of the children of William Jestes b.1852TN d.1947 Harlan Co., KY and buried Coalfield, TN and Mary Susannah b.1860TN (Walls per research of others b.24Dec1860 dau William G Walls b.01Jan1830 & Edie Ann Williams b.14Jul1830).
      William Jestes & Susan/Susannah had children:
      Cornelia b. May 1878 TN
      Bert b. Apr 1882 TN
      Mary E Jestes b. May 1886 TN

      Andrew J Jestes b. May 1896 TN
      Edy A Jestes b. Nov 1898 TN
      Walter B Jestes b. abt. 1901 TN
      William Jestes b.1852 lived in Morgan Co TN in 1900, 1910 and 1920. He lived in Harlan Co KY in 1930 and died in 1947 in Harlan Co., KY. He was the son of Squire Jestus/Justice b.12Aug1813 Morgan Co TN and Elizabeth/Sarah Russell b. Abt.09Jul1815TN.
      Bert Justice b.1882 and Lou had 6 children known to me: Clifford b.abt.1903 (prob the one d.1973), Hugh b.abt.1908 (prob d.1989), Laura A b.abt.1910, Oscar b.abt.1916, Lorene b.abt.1920, and Clarabelle b.abt.1924. This family is found in the 1910 Census of Dist 1, Morgan Co., TN, 1918 WW1 Draft Registration of Oliver Springs TN, and 1930 Census of Dist 1, Morgan Co TN. He was a Coal Miner.
      William G Jestes b.14Jul1888 married 26 Jul 1913 Morgan Co. to Laura Rogers b.Oct.1898.NC and had 5 children known to me: Hazel b.abt.1915.TN, Bonnie b.abt.1917.TN, Eldia/Ilda b.abt.1918.TN/KY, Clarence b.abt.1920.TN (prob d.19Apr1981 Harlan, KY), and Louise b.abt.1923.KY. William Registered for the WW1 Draft in Perry Co., KY, lived in Harlan Co., KY in 1930 and lived in Harlan when he d.10.Nov.1953.
      Myrtle J Jestes b.1894.TN married 01 Apr 1916 Morgan Co TN Isaac/Ike Privett b. Abt. 1887.TN and had son Isaac Privett b. 01 Apr 1916.TN
      Anderw Jackson Jestes b. 12 May 1896 Oliver Springs TN married 10 Feb 1922 Anderson Co., TN Lula B Jett b.abt.1902.TN and had daughters Reba M Jestes b.abt.1923 and Pansy L Jestes b.abt. Mar 1927. The family lived in Anderson Co., TN in 1930.
      Cornelia Ann Jestes b.abt May.1878 married 09 Nov 1902 Morgan Co. TN to George W Byrd b. Abt.1872.TN and lived in Morgan Co TN in 1910, 1920 and 1930.

      Five Jestes families from 2 generations were living next to each other in Dist 6, Harlan Co., KY and each of the families worked as Coal Miners. Clifford C and Hugh were sons of Bert. Walter, Edie, and Minnie were Brother and Sisters of Bert.
      1. Edie/Edy Justice b.abt.1898.TN married abt.1917 Arthur Martin b.abt.1894.NC. It would appear from 1930 Census Arthur had been married previous to Edie and they had children Lola b.abt.1917, Claud, b.abt.1919, Elizabeth b.abt 1921, Lula M b.abt.1923, Maxine b.abt.1926, Carlus J b.abt .Sept1919.

      2. Hugh Jestes b.1908 married abt 1928 Margaret ?? b.abt.1914.TN and had daughter Elnora b.1929.TN.

      Mitzi...I don't have proof, that is why I was asking the question. Eugene Justice of Morgan County, TN has written a book that is in the Anderson County, TN library. In his book he states that Moses was Abrahams father, I was never able to find proof of any connection (he had no source in his book) and just put feelers out for anyone who might have had. I, like you, do not think there is any connection, but am still open to anyone finding further proof. Thanks for your reply, Mary Dale

      Mitizi, would you contact me on this Justice line. Of Abram's two son's, Squire and Joseph, I believe we descend from Joseph. However, I have several seen many other siblings posted to these two brothers. Our Joseph married Elizabeth "Betsey" Butler in Anderson Co., TN 1845. They were married by Richard Oliver, JOP of Oliver Springs. They had Michael, John, David, Mary, Sarah, James and Minerva as children, maybe more. We descend from Minerva. My husbands great grandmother. But we can find nothing on Joseph Justice. I know some of this line moved to Marion, IL, but I am uncertain if it was just Joseph Justive (1825-1901) or other Justices.
