Mariah, I think Don is on the right track. I posted the WEST births on the website. http://www.rootsweb.com/~inshelby/birth_records/births_W_wpa.htm I didn't find Samantha, Walter or Prudence listed in the county burials. Perhaps they are buried in Arlington Cem in Rush Co (close to Gwynneville). I'll check again for Alexander's burial.
