Samuel Kesterson was married to Eliza/Louisa (Green?). They were first found
on the early 1860 census of Columbia Co AR and 1870 in Pike Co AR. Its difficult to be certain of
these two census since the first one gives a wife named Eliza and the second gives her name as Louisa.. Most
of the children are the same with some variation of spellings, nicknames etc. Much work
still needs to be done on this family as we don't have any idea of where they came from.
