Nathaniel Estes was born in Virginia, he moved with his father, Moses Estes, to South Carolina. Records show that Nathaniel owned several hundred acres of land on Geenrostee and Twenty-Six Mile Creeks, and on Rocky River in South Carolina, as well as in Franklin County, Georgia.
Nathaniel Estes was married to Nancy Finley, at the Pendleton District, South Carolina courthouse.
There are records of land deeds and other transaction that he did live and own land in said counties.
There was an Estes Family Cemetery in Franklin CO., Georgia, just North of Cranes Creek, containing 27 graves. We feel sure that this was the homeplace of Nathaniel and Nancy Finley Estes, and that they are buried there, along with other member s of the Estes families. In 1960 this land was to be covered by the waters of Hartwell Lake, so the Corps of Engineers removed these graves to The Reed Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, the removal permit was signed by Sloan Baker and Mrs. J. B. Fleming, grandchildren of Cain Estes, great grandchildren of Nathaniel Estes. All the markers were fieldstones, but these two people, who were born and reared in that community, (The two signing the removal permit) named five members of the family that they knew were buried there, Cain Estes, his wife, Rachel Estes, Elias Estes, Perry Estes and Mary Estes Bobo. Mary Estes Bobo and Elias Estes were children of Cain and Rachael Estes. Perry Estes was a son of Jonathan Wiley Estes and grandson of Cain Estes.
