John C. LESTER, b. abt 1820 in Virginia; removed to South Carolina bef 1845
Looking for information on a John C. LESTER who was born in Virginia abt 1820, was married, removed to Georgetown District, South Carolina bef 1845, had at least 3 sons born there (Francis W. LESTER, William J. LESTER and R. John LESTER), and thence lived in Charleston, SC with his 3 sons and no spouse in 1850 according to Federal census.
John C. LESTER listed for his occupation, "Manager," in 1850 census and is known as "Capt." John C. LESTER in 1868 according to Charleston, SC City Directory.His son, R. John LESTER (R. maybe for "Robert"), is listed as "Mariner" in 1868 Charleston, SC City Directory and lives with his father at 13 Line St., Charleston, SC.
Thanks.
