I am researching the surname WEST primarily from South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi, but more than likely have links to WEST families in other states as well. I have been doing census research on these names and wanted to share with the List. It would be neat if everyone who has census information for any year, any state and county could post so that all of us researchers could maintain a database of the WEST surname for possible links or matches. Here is various census information that I have and would like to share. I may have overlooked some families, as it appeared on the film I was looking that the census sheets were out of order, so if you know of a WEST family that was in Tippah Co. in 1860 that is not listed on here, please do not hesitate to correct me, or if I have a spelling incorrect. Some of these names were hard to read. I hope this data helps someone who does not have access to census information. 1860 Tippah County, Mississippi Dwelling Family Names Age Place of Birth 478 474 West, Loueca 25 NC Sarah E. 28 SC Luiza C? 6 MS Sirus A. 3 MS James H. 3 MS Martha E. 1 MS Donaldson, Eliz. ?
