John and his presumed brother Isaac each entered land per Jeffersonville land office between 1818 and 1819 in what would become Scott County, Indiana. In the 1840 Census he is listed as between 50 and 60. John died and in September 1841 son William and widow Sarah are appointed administrators of John's estate. Abraham Baker, uncle of William's wife, Catharine Baker Estill, takes over administering the estate from 1845 to 54. In 1850 the widow Sarah (Wardell) Estill is living on the farm with their children. John had married her in 1825. Finally in 1853 the Court grants a partition of the farm naming all the heirs. John's first wife appears to be Ann Killion whom he married in Fleming Co., Ky in 1810. She must have died about 1824. She would be the mother of daughter Martha Estill Baker. The Killions also moved to Scott County,

Estills are important to the Baker family because John Estill's daughter Martha married John Baker, son of Hugh Baker.
Isaac Estill's son William married Catherine Baker the daughter likewise of Hugh Baker from whom the Baker researcher descends. They did name one son, Hugh Baker Estill.
