Notes for ROBERT ESTES, JR.: The info on Robert and Dorothy came from Stackpole's "The History of Durham". Here is some additional info: "...it is said by antiquarians that Albert Azo, II, Marquis of Liguria, born about A.D. 1097 was founder of the houses of Este and Brunswick. The former was conspicuous in Italy as late as the middle of the 18th century about which time its direct line failed in the death of Hercules III, he being of the 22nd generation from Azo II. Such is the foundation of this ancient house. The name Este is said to have been derived from a colony planted in the 7th century of Rome, about fifteen miles south of the city of Padua, and called Ateste, or Este, which latter name the marquises of Liguria assumed in the early part of the 14th century. The name Este is plural and is used to represent the whole family. Tradition has it that the name was brought into England by one Francesco, natural son of marquis Leonnello, and who went first to Bergundy and escaped thence into England, and afterward made his home in that country. The period of his life lay between 1434 and 1444. The immigrant Estes family here about to be considered begins with Robert and Dorothy Estes, of Dover, England, whose ancestry has not been clearly settled, but concerning whose descendants there is no uncertain tradition..."
