There is not a known portrait of Esther Whitley, but more information survives about her than for many other frontier women. One of the best tributes to this early settler was made by her husband William. When he built the house at Sportsman’s Hill, Whitley had his own initials worked into the brick pattern on the front of the house and had EW (for Esther) patterned into the back of the house. Later generations added on to the house and Esther’s initials are partially covered, leaving only a glimpse of different colored bricks.
