Biography

Generation No. 4

16. Charles4 HESTER (Robert3, Robert2, Francis1) was born 16 Aug 1747, and died Bef. 15 Apr 1833. He married Martha. Children named in will: William, John, Abraham, Jesse, Sally, Lucy, Nancy, Robert, Joseph, Fanny. May have been married twice. One land transfer indicates wife's name was Susanna. Martha apparently was married before to have a son named Thomas Logan. Thus, it is not known if the Hester children are hers or a previous wife.

Notes for Charles HESTER: Charles Hester was born Aug 16, 1747 in Louisa county, Virginia (proven by Revolutionary War pension application). He received grants of 522 acres in 1798 and another 805 acres in 1805 on Cherokee Creek of Broad River in Spartanburg county, South Carolina. In addition to these grants he bought and sold many other plots in this area including a purchase of 5,429 acres from William Hester. He was surely a planter as most land owners were in the time and place but we also know he was a blacksmith because he filed a claim for service as a horseshoer for the troops during the revolution. Charles wrote his will in 1828 (proven 15 Apr. 1833 which means he died before this date) naming his wife Martha and children: Wm Hester, John Hester, Abraham Hester, Jesse Hester, Sally Fondren, Lucy Arnold, Nancy Camp, Robert Hester, Joseph Hester, and Fanny Blanton; grandson Simpson Hester; and stepson Thomas Logan. Apparently Martha is the mother of Thomas Logan. It is not known if she was the mother of Charles' children but I suspect their mother was an unidentified first wife of Charles. At the time he drew his will his sons John, and Joseph had moved to Alabama. Apparently the other sons had also moved since he named his step son Thomas Logan and grandson Simpson Hester as executors of his estate.
