I have the names James, Nettie, Viola etc., the family was in Indiana and part moved to McPherson co. KS. My grandmother was Viola KING, daughter of William H. KING who went to KS and married Lena WEIBLEN in McPherson co. then died in 1925 in Harvey KS. William WEST [B. Abt 1800] bought land in Indiana for his daughter Nancy who was married to a James KING but I don't believe they had children. Anyway, with names like Viola and Nettie I just feel there might be some connection, way, way back! Regards, Rosemary
