Polly- I am researching the West family who had come to the Strafford area from Kentucky and Mississippi, apparently. -Silas Mercer West, born about 1817 in Kentucky, and his wife, who was born in Mississippi, I think. . . . While these are not your Wests, seemingly, I wonder whether you are aware of anyone besides me who might be researching this family. . . . -Becky (Chandler) Aldridge
