Notes for William J. Estes
William Estes appears to have suffered from wanderlust. He was apparently born in Tennessee, but his family moved to what would become eastern Missouri in the early days of the Lousiana Purchase, probably around 1805. As an adult he lived in St. Francois County, Missouri; Wahington County, Arkansas; Carroll County, Arkansas; St. Francois County, Missouri 193again; Shannon County, Missouri192; and Stone County, Missouri196.

In 1859, William J. Estes purchased a land grant for the west half of the Southeast quarter of Section 25, Township 27N, Range 5W in Shannon County, Missouri.
