Lunenburg Co., VA. This reference does agree with the death date beingOct 1825
but adds it was in in Warren Co. KY with burial in Halifax Co., VA whichis
quite a distance away.

75. William Estes
William Estes was what was known as a drover, or trader, and delt in
blooded stock, prinipally fine horses, buying them up all over the country
and then driving them over to New York and other large eastern cities
where he sold them. On his last journey, when he was only two days from
home, he was stricken with what was the called severe intestinal
inflimation, probably acute appendicitis, and was unable to travel any
further. Medical aid was summoned and a runner was sent for his wife, but
he died before she reached his side. Following the death of William Estes,
Mary Estes packed up her children and moved to Southern Illinois, locating
near Frank's Fort, now West Frankfort, Ill.
