Abraham Estes was a linen weaver at Sandwich, Kent County England in 1672. He married Ann Burton (who was a widow) in England but apparently she died before he emigrated to the British colonies in North America, arriving in the parish of Lyndhaven Virginia on April 20, 1682 (previously called Old Westmoreland County). He was sponsored by Thorogood Keeling. In 1683 he was living in New Kent County Virginia and then settled in the parish of St. Stephen's in King and Queen County VA. There he married Barbara Brock who is named as his wife in his will in 1720.
