Garrett,


Did a search and it showed 55 Esteys listed, 52 Union and 3 Confederate. Check it here:

Texascavcadet:

Before you start any search into your ancestry's civil war experience, you have to know a name or two and where they were living when the war broke out. It all starts with the enlistment. From there, it's traceable.
Ole

Garrett, Here's a general for you, any resemblance? Alas, he was a Yank.

My goodness! I must have "My Name Is Earl" on the mind but that general sure looks like one of Jason Lee's ancestors.
