John, my ancestor is Jesse West (1768-1854?), brother of Ignatius.He married Sarah Lacy, aunt of the Susanna who married William West and had the twins. So the twins were my double cousins. About the reason William outlived Harmon: that was my first thought too, that he was single! Ha! Also interested in determining if JONATHAN WEST of Christian Co is the son of Jesse. He is the correct age and born in NC, shows up on the 1850 census spelled "Johnathan", with wife Lottie. Nancy dotsicle

I do not have any documentation to actually establish that Jesse West is a son or brother of Thomas West, Sr. nor a brother of Thomas West, Jr. or Ignatius (son of Thomas West, Sr. & brother of Thomas West, Jr.). Do you have any type of document or family Bible that makes this connection? There were at least two Ignatius West, perhaps three or even four, in Chatham & Orange Counties of NC (where Thomas West, Jr. left to come to Christian Co, KY with his grown sons and daughters and their families). There appears to be two separate WEST families in Christian Co. The Northern County West & the Southern County West. The Northern family from NC and the Southern ones from VA. Another son of Thomas West, Sr. is Richard West who is believed to settle in Logan Co., KY or at least some of his children settled there. I have assumed that this Jonathan you mention was from the Southern West or the Logan Co. & Calloway Co., KY West or some other West (relation unknown) such as your Jesse West.
