Curious about your West family. I have a Hannah West (b. ca. 1775 NC; m. Jacob Meador/Meadows; d. ca. 1830 GA) Their daughter Sarah Eleander is my 3rd great grandmother, being the mother of Alexander Franklin Mobley who married Mary Ann Bell (the woman I'm searching Cherokee records for). It would be great if we connect! Also I now recall from research years ago, that there was a Cherokee connection to the Meador/Meadows line. all the best, Beth *** Does your Thompson have West connections? Adiene
