KESTERSON BIBLE RECORDS


John Kesterson Jr

John Kesterson Jr was born in Greene County TN and moved his entire, fully grown, family to Lafayette County MO in 1844. He was married to Sarah Davis in TN and after she died, some 15 years after they moved to MO, he married Malinda Jacques. This man is utterly amazing! John and Sarah had 9 children and John and Malinda had 6 children. By the time John's last child was born in 1871, John was 74 years old!! There is a span of 52 years between his 1st and last child. It would not be a foolish statement to say that all of his children might not have even "known" each other! John has left a very powerful impact on the state of Missouri and especially Lafayette County. I'm not sure who exactly has the Bible of this family. I've received copies/information of it from several sources. If you know which person owns this Bible please let me know and I'll surely give them credit.
