I am trying to find the grandparents of my mother.  Her mother was Mary ESTEP and was told she was a COLDIRON adopted by WADKINS or WATKINS?  Mary married Henry ESTEP and they had:  Sina (b. 8 May 1908), Emma, Vannie, Cora, and John.  Mom had mentioned Margaret and said she was just called "Granny Margaret."  Whose mother was she?  My mother was second cousin, I think she said, to Lundy ESTEP.  Not sure where he comes in at.  Would appreciate anything you could send.  Thank you.

(02-07)  ESTEP - BROADDUS - PORTWOOD:
My great-grandfather was a man by the name Charles ESTEP.  He married Nancy PORTWOOD.  For some reason he was reared by a man named Pleas (Pleasant?) BROADDUS, and went by the name BROADDUS to the extent that my grandmother and great-grandmother were known as BROADDUS, even legally.  I know he was killed in some kind of accident, either drowning or industrial.  Great-granddad had two children:  Nancy BROADDUS and Pleas BROADDUS, Jr.  Pleas Jr. was epileptic and died when about 19 to 25 years old.  He was apparently killed (pushed) in a train / pedestrian accident.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
