Hi, Janet. I'm just a little confused. The only Archibald West I find in Indiana in the 1850 census is married to an Elizabeth (both born in Kentucky), and their first born is a son named Washington West, not M. Perry West. I can find no M. Perry West connected to Archibald and Elizabeth. There are several Worleys listed in the WAYNE COUNTY, KENTUCKY MARRIAGES AND VITAL RECORDS VOLUME ONE BY JUNE BALDWIN BORK. None of them are named Elizabeth. I find no Archibald West in that book at all, nor do I find a Betsy Denny. There are three Elizabeth Dennys, but none married to an Archibald West. There are many Wests listed also, but no Archibald.

I have an Archibald West who married Betsy Denny in Wayne Cty, KY in 1829.  They leave for IN and when his wife has a child there 9 months later, he (M. Perry West) lists his mother in all documents as Elizabeth Worley............. My question continues to be - are these women one and the same? Why would she be called Denny - because she was an orphan raised by the Denny family ?  Because she was a widow of a Denny? She is buried in Hendricks County, IN with other Worleys nearby and Alexander Worley and his wife Sally Downey seem to have come to IN with Archibald and his wife..... so is Betsy Denny really Betsy Downey? Ugh.  ANY insight or ideas VERY gratefully accepted...  Janet ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to KYWAYNE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
