John Lester and Nancy Collins
John Lester (Not Jesse) was born abt. 1778 in possibly Pittsylvania Co., VA. He was said to be the son of Thomas and Cynthia (Synthia) Lucas Lester.John married Nancy Collins in Pittsylvanis Co., VA in 1800 with the Rev John Jenkis officiating. They had severalchildren.The ones I have are Thomas born 1801 married Frances King, William A. married Frances Steagall, Jesse born 1803 married America Trent, Polly married Anderson Stultz, Mary Elizabeth married Joseph King.There was a daughter Nancy who was either the child of Nancy Collins or Anne Minter.Nancy Collins Lester died on May 1815 and John married Anne Minter Aug 14, 1815.in Pittsylvania Co., VA.Anne Minter Lester died in Henry Co., VA abt. 1873.
John and Anne Minter had several children but I do not have their names. John lived to a ripe old age and died in Henry Co., VA Dec 20, 1873. (note: Jesse Lester of Tazewell Co. who married Nancy (name unknown) died abt 1819 from records found in the Tazewell Co. Courthouse.)
I was told that Thomas and Cynthia had a son named Jesse and I would like to know more about him if anyone has knowledge ot this.
I am sorry that the wrong information was posted on the internet stating that Jesse Lester from Tazewell married Nancy Collins.It is very hard to get this information straightened out and I am posting this in hopes it will help someone get the right information
