http://www.myhubbardmtn.com/family%20htm/estes.htm (Links in Margaret to both Nathan Daugherty and this Estes family, but skips James to link Margaret directly to her grandfather, Abraham. Contains some likely valuable information and indicated that there is an Estes cemetery in New Salem, Kentucky that should be worth checking out to help corroborate things. Reiterates the currently recorded birthdate which doesn't match well with the 1850 census.)

HI Sean

I went down to the court house yesterday and found Nathan and Margaret's marriage cert. There was a statement with it that read.

May the 29th 1852.

I here by agree to the marriage contract between Nathan Daugherty and My daughter Margaret this day and date.

signed James Estes.

I must have missed James in my research. I had margaret being the daughter of Abraham. But this prove that Margaret was

the daughter of James and Nancy East...
