Dear Mark, I found James C. West on the 1880 Census White County, Marion Township Page 79A James C. West 20 AR Farmer Father Born TN Mother Born TN Mary 19 GA Keeping House GA GA Living next door is: John T. West 42 TN Farmer (if this is his father then Mary is probably a second wife because there are a lot of years between his birth and the birth of John A.) Mary J. 40 TN Keeping House John A. 11 AR Miles W. 9 AR Emma J. 6 AR Thomas L. 1 AR On the same page was Harvey West 39 TN Farmer (listed as Turner1870) TN TN Martha I. 35 NC (Must be a second wife) NC NC Arastus V. 13 AR TN TN Sarah F. 10 AR TN TN William F. West 20 Nephew AR TN TN 1870 Census has 203 head of households with the name WEST White County contains 11 Households Marion Township Series M593 Roll 67 Page 386 (written page 9) 66/66 Turner West 29 TN Nancy 21 TN Erastis 3 AR Sarah J. 2/12 AR March 71/71 Moody West 28 TN Martha 28 TN Delia 3 AR Also Page 385B 59/59 West N. H. 33 TN Ellen 20 Nancy 12 William F. 10 (In 1880 he is living in Harvey West home) Same page is a Turner Moody age 63 from NC (Must be connected to the Moody West and Turner West) his wife is Rebecca age 46 born in TN Susan M is 21 born in TN Steven is 17 born in TN Virginia is 14 born in AR Lewis W is 12 born in AR I cannot find John T. Or John L. West in 1870. My guess is they are living with another family and therefore would not be in the index for 1870. I'm afraid I have given you more questions than answers. Sincerely, Shirley
