Hi! I'm new to the list and am researching Wests, Lacys, Hendersons, and related families. I'm a West, Henderson, and Lacy myself, but my line stayed in NC when everyone else went to KY. I ended up in Michigan, with no family here at all. Hoping to find someone with pictures of some of my folks. I've been blessed with finding many cousins with family pictures, but no Lacys yet. Harmon and William West, twins, were my double-cousins; sons of Susanna Lacy and Wm West Sr. Would especially appreciate any info on them. Many many years ago, I lived for a short time in Hopkinsville. Had no idea that I was "home". Nancy Jones dotsicle
Nancy, I assume you know that William West, Sr. was the son of Ignatius West (1750-1831)and Elizabeth Meacham (1758-1829) (more connections to Christian Co., KY). William (1784- 10 Sep 1812) was first married in 1803 to Elizabeth Cook they had Abram West in 1806 (died 1857) who married Sina Hadley - lived in the Amo, Hendricks Co., IN area and had 10 children who started a family reunion in 1900 and as of the 1980's were still having a reunion annually. William & Harmon were born in 1813 four months after their father's death.. William never married and may account for why he lived 20 years longer than Harmon (just joking) - William died in 1892. Harmon married twice. First to Catherine Harned and they had seven children. Second to Tabitha McCorpin and had no children. Harmon died in 1872. All of this from the "History of the Abram West Family" Volume 2 1937 there is a Volume One (1915) and a Volume Three (1951) - I have Volume 2 and 3. William, Senior's father, Ignatius was a brother to my ancestor Thomas West, Jr. - their father being Thomas West, Sr. John G. West At 11:40 AM 4/18/2004 -0700, you wrote: >Hi!
