I am researching the Lester name, possibly originating in Bucks Co. In
particular I am interested in a John Lester, b.Jan. 11, 1752 - d. Jan.
29, 1825, my 4th great. He moved to the Montgomery Co., Va. area,
supposedly with two brothers, Abner and Samuel, prior to the
Revolutionary War. He fought in the war in Virginia then married and
raised a family in Montgomery Co., Va. The only evidence I currently
have of where John was born is the 1880 Floyd Co., Va. census record of
his youngest son, Hulen, which states that he was born in Pennsylvania.
A lot of work has been done on John over the years to determine his
parentage with little to show. It would be appreciated if anyone can
shed some more light on this.
