This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: West, Howard Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QBB.2ACI/3105 Message Board Post: I am descended from John West, b. 19 Feb. 1784 in Logan County, KY., d. 30 Apr. 1859 in Crawford County, AR, being the great great grandson of Milton John Tompkins West, son of John West and Lavina (Howard) West. I would like to exchange information with anyone having information regarding the ancestry of this family. As a sidelight, I now live on the old MJT West homestead where Lavina West lived with her son, MJT West, after the death of her husband and have a copy of the family record section of the John West Family Bible which confirms the dates and spelling given above.
