Abraham Eastep was born 1824 in Rowan Co. (now Davie Co.) NC to Moses Estep and Elizabeth Jones. Moses' mother was Rebeckah Estep and it appears that he was an illegitmate son or his mother was married to an Estep. Thomas Estep, Jr. of Rowan Co., NC named a daughter Rebecca Estep in his will. Rebecca was either single or married an Estep. I have a record saying that Moses Estep was to be paid for the upkeep of his mother Rebeckah Estep. Thomas Estep, Jr. was the son of Thomas Estep, Sr. and Mary of Maryland. I'd be glad to start a discussion on Moses Estep and his parents for that's where I need more information on.

Comment by N A Lemons on July 15, 2009 at 10:23pm: Hi Cindy. I sent you three messages but don't think they went through to you. If they did, I didn't see any indication that they did. Oh, well. Anyway. My Eastep surname was originally Estep. When my ancestor Abraham Estep and his wife Ann moved to east Texas from Alabama late 1840s, their surname was spelled Eastep and has been since then. I am looking forward to seeing this group grow.
