Harvey is pictured in the 43-B class flight yearbook of Lubbock Army Air Field in Lubbock, Texas. He is a flight cadet. I'm not kin but thought this might help someone researching the family.

Allison,

Thanks for the message! I have had the great fortune of getting in contact with some distant relatives because of my original posting! It amazes me just how many descendants are out there. I attended a Hart/Hartt family reunion a couple of years ago and it was interesting to meet all of these people. I was the only Estey descendant there though. The strangest thing has been getting emails from people saying they know who I am and who my parents are because we are on their family tree!

I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday! Feel free to email if you'd like!

Hi, Susan!

I was just looking up some of my own ancestry for fun, and then was surprised to find such an active Esty thread! My husband's name is Scott Esty, and the witch story has been a source of great amusement around our house for years. Did you see The Crucible? :-)

Scott's parents are Mary Lee and Ed Esty, who live in Washington D.C. We live in Portland OR.

Feel free to drop a line if you like - sounds like there's definitely some relation.

Cheers!

Mary Towne Esty/Estey is my 8th Great Grand Mother. I've been to her sister Rebecca Nurse's Homestead and graveyard. I've heard the stories too. I believe there is no positive answer to the question "Where is Mary buried?" Rebecca's family was said to have gone to Gallows Hill after dark and removed her body and buried it in an unmarked grave in the Nurse Graveyard. I hope this is true. I believe it is true.
In 1992, the remains of another executed victim, George Jacobs was buried in the Nurse Family Graveyard. His remains had been unearthed on the Jacob's property in the 1950's and stored. His new grave is marked with a nice headstone.
I hope Mary's family did what her sister's family and George Jacob's family did. I hope she too was taken away from Salem's Gallow's Hill from her shallow grave where she was disgracefully dumped and buried in a special place. A safe place. Perhaps John Estey, her son b.1662, showed his son Jonathan Estey b.1707(my 7th GGF), who may have showed his daughter Susannah (Estey) Berry b.1741, who might have been able to show her son Samuel Berry b.1761(my 5th GGF). I wish the stories had continued all the way to me...but they did not. I have visited Gallow's Hill too, just in case that is her gravesite.
On Sept. 22, each year I do think of what Mary must have been like. The hard life and terrible death. It reminds me of why I love genealogy.
I'd love to know anything about her family that people have sources for. If you would like to share, please respond.

Hello Gail

My family are from the Esty line. My father, Stanford Esty was born in St Mary in 1924 - so perhaps he is a relative of Sybley. Contact me for further information.

Julie,

We are indeed cousins! I'm not sure exactly where you fall on the tree or which one of your parents is related to my father, Alfred, though.

I will do my best to help you out with what little I know of the family history.

Feel free to email me anytime!

My gg grandmother was Elizabeth Irene Esty and she married Lewis Haight on 22 Nov 1859 in Spring Prairie, WI. Her father was Elija Esty. She was b. 10 Feb 1835 on MA. I was always told that we were related to Mary Towne Esty. Alicon, do your records indicate this? I would appreciate a copy of the info on the Esty family that you have. It might help me in tracking ,y family. This is all of the info I have on the Esty family. Thank you.

Re: Esty/Estey and a Salem witch

2006-11-08 14:00:26Z

I couldn't find Elizabeth Irene, but I think I found her father Elijah Russell Estee (another spelling variation) born February 12, 1821 in Southborough Worcester Co., MA. He died after 1880. If he's Elizabeth's father, then Mary Towne was Elizabeth's 5ggrandmother. yell if you think I've got the right Esty and I'll send you the rest of the stuff I've got.

Jonathan & Mary A.(NICHOLS) ESTY parents of Joseph F. A. Esty

vconw — 2006-08-27 12:54:33Z

Looking for the parents of Joseph F. A.ESTY (b: abt 1863). Joseph's marriage records list Joseph's father as Jonathan ESTY and mother as Mary NICHOLS and his birth place as NY but various towns were listed. So far he has only been found in Massachusetts starting in 1870 when he was living with his mother Mary ESTY in Methuen, MA. He used various birth towns but most were in NY.
Joseph F. A. ESTY was married to 3 women.
1) Theresa DEMPSEY (m. 1887 in Methuen, MA)
2) Kathleen Kent (m. abt 1895 in Stoneham, MA) and 3) He used the assumed name of Joseph F. A BLAIR during this relationship.
3) Nellie Welch (m. 1917 in Cambridge, MA).
He fathered 4 children with Theresa DEMPSEY and 3 with Kathleen KENT
I would like to share any information on any of these families..

Alicon,

Several "distant" relatives, via this board, have sent me literature helping me with the lineage. If I calculate it right, I believe I am the 8th great granddaughter to Isaac and Mary as well. I was invited to attend a Hart family reunion a few months back. The Hart's and Esty's married through the generations.

Mary Esty was my 9th great grandmother, she was married to Isaac who was born in 1627 in Preston, England and died in 1692 in Topsfield, Mass. There are websites all over the place about the Towne sisters (Mary's maiden name), there were three, Mary, Sarah and Rebecca. I hope this little bit helps, if it does I have the line all the way down to my great grandmother if you need it.

William's parents were Ebenezer Estey and Ann Woodworth. His other wives were: Estilla Nash and Alice Woodsworth. This data should be confirmed with primary data such as birth and marriage records.

I have in my possession an article from the Boston Herald (no date, but bef. 1860) about a Mrs. Elizabeth Esty on Jay Street, considerablly advanced in life and having money and securities in her home representing between $5,000 and $6,000.00. She had misplaced the money, called authorities, but then remembered where she had hid the cash. I believe she is a distant ancester of mine. Possibly thru the Wells or Kimble lines.

Esty Surname

2004-09-19 00:34:38Z

From rumors the Esty's originate from Scotland but have a long historical background of living in England, most likely Suffolk and Essex County (just outside of London). Look up Jeffereys Estey, the earliest record I could find would date to 1521 on this web-site.

If you have any more info that would be great. I'm try to track down the parents of a Charles Esty who died in Rusk Co, Wisconsin around 1930. He died early (around age of 22) from a gas-wood-stove accident and no one knows much info about him.

Re: First known Esty

Jeffrey's father was Christopher Estey (or Easty) born at Hintlesham, England in 1621. Christopher's father was Jeffrey Estey (or Estye) born about 1515. He died about 1592/3. Joshua Esty's wife was Abigail Stanley. Regards to spelling of the sound Esty. In the old days spelling was less important than it is today and surnames were spelled according to how they sounded which was different if the clerk recording it was German, French or English. I have the Griffith's in my data base would like more details on yours. Will send to you free a copy of "Isaac Esty of Topsfield and Some of His Descendants," if I know your US mailing address.

Esty/Estey and a Salem witch

2003-11-03 17:26:39Z

My great-grandfather came here from England and changed Esty to Estey since he thought the original spelling was too short. Living here in MA, my family has had the opportunity to visit Salem. One of the "witches" burned at the stake was a Mary Esty. The spelling of the surname is varied including Eastie, Easty, Esty, Estey, etc. How would I go about finding if there was any relation?

Also, just curious if I have any "unmet" relatives out there! My grandfather was Otis Estey. He married Hazel Davis. Both are now deceased but lived and raised their children in Stoughton, MA until moving to Wareham, MA. They had 7 children, Mel Estey (deceased, last known addy in TX), Otis Estey Jr, David Estey, Richard Estey, Elizabeth (Estey) Brennan, Bernice Estey (deceased), and Mary (Estey) Bunavicz...my Mom. If you think you may know any of my relatives or may be one yourself, please feel free to contact me!

Re: First known Esty

bobtam89 — 2003-06-28 02:01:56Z

You seem to know a lot about the Esty/Estey family so I hope you can help me, if you have the time. My line goes: Jefferey Estey, Isaac Estey, Joshua Estey, Eleanor Estey, who married Samuel Griffith and then my line turns to Griffith and then later to Ruoff. Do you have any info on the ancestors of Jefferey? All I have are these names, and a couple of birth years. I have the name of Abigell as the wife of Joshua Estey, but no maiden name for her. Also, I have seen the name spelled Esty, Estey and I have read two books on the Salem witch trials and in both of them the name is spelled Easty. Can you explain this? Thanks so much for your time.

I am a descendant of Isaac and Mary (Towne) Estey/Esty. Are you? I have a little info on the Towne line but nothing on Isaac's line. Would you like to share? Are there tombstone markers for Isaac & Mary in the Nurse family cem? I've read stories that the "witches" were dumped in a shallow grave and some family members went in the cover of darkness and took the bodies and then buried them in unmarked graves. Any truth to that?
