Alvaretta (Berta) Hayward Estabrooks (b. 26 September 1869) and Hannah Elizabeth Estabrooks (b. 2 September 1872) were daughters of Shephard Handy Estabrooks (1838-1883) and Agnes Edgar Carter (1845-1909), of Coldstream, Carleton County, New Brunswick. Shephard and Agnes Estabrooks had 3 other children: George (b. 1865), Arthur (b. 1867), and Ellen Jane (Waters, b. 1878). Shephard Estabrooks's sister, Lucretia, was married to the Rev. Amos Hayward, a Baptist preacher, who ministered first at Coldstream and then at Florenceville.
