Two books about the Lesters that you ought to have:
The Lester Family by Marguerite Tise, 1997. This manuscript is 225 pages long with old family photographs and a complete index. It is incredibly complete. There is more information about the Lesters than my database. It includes a lot of personal information about our ancestors. A wonderful work! $20, postage paid. Order from:
Dr. Jim Lester,
2522 Wall Street, Jonesboro, GA 30236
(770) 603-7468

I have recently published the book in PDF format on the Internet. While not as convenient to read as the hard copy, it is useful for reference.
My Ancestors by Leonard G. Lester, 1968. This booklet is 35 pages long and includes more statistics than Marguerite's book, mainly census information. It also includes photographs of the cemetery and tombstones where John and Catherine Lester are buried. [These photographs were taken by me c.1960.] You should get this one, too. It is only $6.50, postage paid. Write:
