153 Civil War Veteran Celebrates Ninety-First Birthday

Heidelberg, March 16th
Asberry ESTES, better known as "Uncle Add", celebrated his 91st birthday at his home here yesterday. He is one of the two Civil War pensioners left in Lee county.

Mr. ESTES had one of his old comrades among the 28 guests at the dinner in his honor, Robert D. HOUP, of Jessamine county. Mr. ESTES' oldest living child, 65, was present for the dinner. The youngest member of the family present was a great-grandchild two months old. Mr. ESTES' family consists of three children, 33 grandchildren, 101 great-grandchildren, and nine great great grandchildren.

Mr. ESTES was born in what is now Estill county, on the waters of Buck Creek, a son of Charles and Martha ESTES and a grandson of Brazil ESTES who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. His mother was a daughter of John HATTON who lived years ago at the mouth of the hollow which bears his name down which the State highway runs. His mother was born near Beaver Pond, Clark county. His parents were buried in the old Brandenburg graveyard near the Baptist Church in Heidelberg.

He had a brother, Hiram, who was buried on his 97th birthday, February 28, 1933. Uncle Add was a member of the 8th Kentucky Regiment in the Civil War and despite his age his steps are firm and his memory excellent.

Never at any time, Mr. ESTES said, had he lived more than 15 miles from the place of his birth, and never during his 91 years has he been a party in a law suit or had a writ served on him. His wife, who was a sister of Godfrey and John NEWTON, died several years ago. More than four score and ten years of peaceful life without serious quarrel with friend or neighbor leaves Mr. ESTES with host of friends who wish for him "Many more happy returns of the day."

185 During another of her husband's absences, Maude wrote to the government pension board explaining that John had left her at home with their five children as he had done on many previous occasions and taken all the money with him. By this time Maude seemed to be quite desperate to provide a means of support for her children and was contemplating divorce. She asked the government about obtaining a portion of John's pension and whether she would still be entitled if they were no longer married. Thompson, Maude Belle (I1824)
 
186 During part of this time period, Milly's husband, John Barnes, was still living (up until 1840). For Milly, this record seems to go through March of 1846 and then stops but does not indicate whether she had passed away. Milly (I2091)
 
187 During the debate over the Virginia Resolves, it was Speaker of the House, John Robinson who exclaimed, "Treason! Treason!" in response to the speech given by Patrick Henry on May 29, 1765.

Correspondence exists between Speaker Robinson and George Washington in the period leading up to and during the French and Indian War.

191 Effort has not yet been made to resolve which of the children listed with Robert Beverley's 3rd wife were actually born to his 2nd wife. Clearly at least one of them belongs with this 2nd marriage based upon the birth information already obtained. Use caution and verify with other sources. Family F1116
 
192 Either beginning at the end of 1781 or some time in a later year, Captain Payne's Company guarded sick and invalid prisoners at Fredricksburg then escorted them to Winchester. Robinson, Francis (I2058)
 
193 Elizabeth may have been married to another Underwood prior to her marriage to William Underwood. This possible first of three husbands may himself have been married earlier and already had a son named William Underwood thus, Elizabeth's step-son.  Elizabeth (Tentative) (I3921)
 
194 Elizabeth was enumerated with her daughter, Lucy Fields', family, on the 1900, 1910 and 1920 Census. In 1880, she living with her son, Green Fields', family in Boone County, Kentucky. Henderson, Elizabeth Jane (I3925)

196 Emmett Thompson was the census enumerator in his community in 1900. His signature on each page appears to have a trailing "e" to his first name and his cemetery marker also has an "e" so it would appear that his correct name, or the spelling he used, was Emmette. Thompson, Emmett J (I1202)
 
197 Entered as a Privated and mustered out as Corporal.
