Research Notes

There seems to be some doubt on whether the Mary that married Richard Estes was indeed Mary Yancy. She is said to have been a daughter of Charles Yancy, but the relationship is not proved.

On 23 April 1747, after the death of her husband, the vestry of Fredericksville Parish employed Mary Estes as sexton of the church at North East Creek and allowed her wages of 500 lbs. of tobacco. On 28 July 1747, she indentured her son Charles, a poor boy, to learn the carpenter trade.

Mary was born in 1703. She was the daughter of Charles Yancey and Mary Bartlett. She passed away in 1767. Mary is referenced here: Find A Grave: Memorial #35522319, and, at the memorial for her husband, here: Find A Grave: Memorial #35521492.
