John T. Lester is listed in the 1850 Census as being born
abt 1821 in Halifax, but lived in 1850 in Charlotte, VA.
He was married to Rebecca (Rebecca Williams) and they had a son, Hiram J..In the 1860 Census John T. Lester is living in Montgomery County, VA and has three children:
Hiram J.; Leroy G. and Mary F..Rebecca is not listed in
this census, so I assume something happened to her between
1855 (when Mary was born) and the 1860 Census taking.In
1870 Census a John T. Luster (alternate spelling for Lester) was living in Salem, VA, married to Malinda and they have a son John W. Lester (my great-grandfather).In the 1880 Census, John T. Liestor, Malinda and John W. were living in Floyd, VA.
