Brett, Kerry, et al The 1870 Census for Red River County shows Annetta West or something to that effect (I don't have the copy to look at) in the household of Mrs. Mary West. She is a year or so older than A.M...It also lists Zora Belle as Missouri Belle but I think the Census-taker heard her say MISS Zora Belle and wrote down Missouri. Her name was Zora Belle. The 1880 Census doesn't show Anne, but I think she married by then, and had a child, who WAS listed, and the last name starts with an "S" Give me a few days to cogitate and I will recall that last name...probably a grandson... The two Lindsey children are listed on 1870 and beyond...I have a copy of a letter which Cousin Naomi (West) McDonald (Your Great Uncle Edgar's daughter) wrote to your Great Aunt Nell Hull, wherein she mentions having met Eugene Lindsey in San Angelo, and going to visit Uncle Ben West, Shadrach's youngest son...Naomi died a couple of years ago... You are right, Shadrach's father was William Nelson West...slip of my pen...uh fingers, that is... This is all by memory, but mostly correct... Have a great day... >From: "Kerry West" <kerry@WINSYSTEMS.COM> >Reply-To: Kerry West <kerry@winsystems.com> >To: "Brett West" <bonnieblue@iname.com> >CC: giegerg@hotmail.com >Subject: Re: Fw: [MISSISSIPPI] WEST Family of TN and MS >Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 16:20:43 -0600 > > >Me too.
