Notes for THOMAS ESTEP:
From Hanson Geneol Record, 1988: THOMAS ESTEP, SR., owned
"Valleys and Hills, Tom and Wills" in Frederick Co, Maryland. Born
before 1713, took oath in court in 1734 (A.A. County 9-127). Died
abt 1772, he is on the 1772 tax list and not later - Thomas, Jr.
sold his land in 1772. Thomas is possibly son of Immigrant Richard
or Joseph.
Thomas Estep, Sr. is probably a grandson of the immigrant,
Richard Estep. Thomas probably had a brother, William, with whom he
owned the land, "Toms and Wills, Valleys and Hills". Before this,
Thomas owned "Chinkapin Forest".
There may be other children of this family but they have not been
found. Thomas and Shadrach moved to North Carolina as given and
William is the William of Frederick County, Maryland. and
Huntington County, Va. John is probably the John who took the oath
of allegiance in North Carolina. Mary is not found.
