Looking for information on one of the early families in Christian County. It s the James Williams and Nancy West Family. Does anyone have anything on who exactly their children were? People have listed a Jesse as a child I would like to confirm he was in fact a child of theirs that moved to Posey Indiana with his Uncle John Williams who married Sarah Calvin. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, Kristen
Kristen, this is what I have from J. Floyd Bullock of Camden, Ark. (probably 20 years ago in a letter). This information is without documentation, but can serve as a working guide. The Following Information is not Documented Nancy West and James Williams (parents of either unknown) had at least 12 children (not necessarily in order but listed as Mr. Bullock had them on his FGS: 1. Jesse 2. Warren 3. Betsy (5 May 1808 - 8 Jul 1871) md. James Young Edwards (Eddards) 4 Oct 1832 place unknown 4. Allen (Allain) b. 1794 NC md. Amelia b. abt. 1810 VA and md 2nd. Hiram Smith [Or this could be Alvin md. Martha Jones 26 Mar 1833] 5. Louisa md. a man by the name of Mann 6. Stephen 5 Jun 1798 or 1803? - 28 Jan 1887 md. Jane Williams (a Henderson?) Stephen 2nd. md. Lucy E. Spurlin 7. Polly [this should be a nickname for Mary -JGW] md. Gillison Price 01 Jan 1817 8. Matilda (or Malinda?) md. John Barbara Henderson 16 Dec 1824 9. James M. b. about 1800/01 md. Nancy C. and 2nd. md. Elizabeth T. Cane 10. Iva 17 Dec 1810 - 11 Jan 1895 md. Edmund Meacham, Jr. 21 Aug 1828 11. Amos 25 Oct 1801 Christian Co., KY - 06 Mar 1876 Mills Co., Iowa md. Candis Brewer 17 Aug 1826 she was born 28 Dec 1809 and died 07 Sep 1873 Mills Co., Iowa [direct ancestors of Mr. Bullock] 12. Nancy B. md. John Miller 07 Nov 1823 I suspect that the known marriage dates are of Christian Co., KY and can be easily verified. Candis Brewer is a descendant of Thomas West, Jr. (grandaughter). I descend from Thomas West, Jr. through Candis' uncle Charles H. West and his wife Aquilla Buckner. Anyone that knows of these people please document and correct if you have the information. I would like to amend my records for these people. John G. West At 11:05 PM 1/23/2004 -0500, Kristen wrote: >Looking for information on one of the early families in Christian County.
