Hello,
Do you happen to know who the Alfred HANCOCK is? We had HANCOCKs also in
Ripley Co., IN so I am interested in find family connections.

Would like to correspond with anyone who has information concerning
John
Zachariah ESTER,
born June 24, 1824, died November 28, 1891 (maybe in South Dakota) and
Elizabeth HOOVER,
born February 7, 1826, died December 12, 1913. They were married in
Ripley
County, Indiana
either June 3 or 6, 1850.
Family history has it that Zachariah ESTER came to the United States from
Luxembourg. His
name may have been ASTER.
Children of Zachariah and Elizabeth:
1. Susan ESTER married Fred HALLIDAY 1869.
2. Sophia ESTER married Alfred HANCOCK September 1872.
3. Christine ESTER married Thomas WILLIAM(S?) July 3, 1870.
4. Henry ESTER married Ruhamy HENDRICKS.
5. Elizabeth ESTER married Mahlen HENDRICKS.
6. Mary ESTER married John SHULIA June 21, 1886.
7. George Wolfgang ESTER, born August 18, 1856 Ripley County(?), Indiana,
married
Frances
Sophia ANDERSON September 22, 1894 in Platte, South Dakota.
8. Charles ESTER.
It's possible that Zachariah moved to South Dakota sometime in the late
1800s.
Is there
anyone that could check Ripley County land records for any
transactions by
him?
Any information on any members of this family would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
