Brittany,
I looked at Ancestry yesterday and they have our James Lester, Sr. the father of John Lester, RS of Montgomery County, VA.This is sure not correct.Betty Blackwell and I have researched our families for years.We know that Charles Lester of Newberry Co., SC said he was born in Virginia, but that is all that is recorded, to my knowledge in Newberry.When James will was read there was a fight on the courthouse steps, according to the records in Newberry Co., SC.My ancestor Isaac Lester, Sr. son of James Lester, Sr. was represented by one of Charles son or grandson because Isaac and his brother John were in Baldwin County, Georgia.
Someone will need to correct this soon.I believe Chuck Miller of Missouri might have done this, however we told him years ago our line.Just wanted you to be aware and you might want to ask Betty about this.OK? Peter and Jane Lester's grandchildren know the correct records.
