!NOTES:Hester is a child of Jemima Hensley, apparently born out of wedlock. Hester's son William's D/C shows his mother as Hester Banks, so perhaps Hester's father was a Banks.;

!NOTES:It isn't clear when Andrew and Hester divorced, she may have had children well after their divorce, so perhaps he isn't the father of all of them; He is the father of John (1859), William (1861), Harrison (1866) and probably James Elbert (1864).;
