Research Notes

"A chancery suit between Elisha and his brother Moses lists Elisha as being born between Thomas (c.1688) and Robert (c.1695). [citation needed] With the estimated dob's of the daughters, that would suggest that Elisha was born c.1693/4. Note also that Elisha was a co-executor of his mother's will, made in 1721, which means by then Elisha was comfortably of age and of sufficient financial standing to guarantee any debts etc.-- highly unlikely for a young man of just 18 years. In fact the law required him to be 21 or more to be named executor, so the evidence indicates he was born before 1700." [3]

The date of birth in the data field (1703) is different from the one in the biography (1693). The 1703 data is causing a "suggestion" that he was too young to have been the father of that first child, born way ahead of the others, in 1712.

I am interested in documentation of his wife. There are two profiles on Find a Grave, one listing her maiden name as MUMFORD, but another listing it as STONE and giving the names of parents. If anyone as any more informationa about her, I hope they will add to her profile.

I found this interesting tidbit on http://roots-boots.net/ft/estes-ab.txt:

"Citing the work of Neil Gunson, most give Elisha's dob as being 1703, however a chancery suit between Elisha and his brother Moses list Elisha as being born between Thomas (c.1688) and Robert (c.1695), with the estimated dob's of the daughters, that suggests Elisha was born c.1693/4. Note also that Elisha was a co-executor of his mother's will, made in 1721, which means by then Elisha was comfortably of age and of sufficient financial standing to guarantee any debts etc, highly unlikely for a young man of just 18yo. In fact he'd need to be 21 or more to be named executor, so born before 1700."
