If anyone knows the story of why Newman West used the name Light, I would love to hear it. I have a vague knowledge of a connection between the Nelson, Light, and West families. I know how the Nelson and Light connection works, but I need to study more on the West connection. I seem to recall them taking in an orphaned West, but I wasn't thinking it was Newman. Thanks for any help. Melinda On Dec 3, 2008, at 10:10 AM, M.K. Elmore wrote: > Wanda-- > I show her death in 1903, buried at Green Cemetery.

Newman West is my Grandfather. My father was Richard William Alton West, & born in 1918. Are you sure the 1910 census isn't in fact the 1920 census? There is no Paul in the family. I believe that Paul west is probably, Richard...my dad.. & the wrong census year was copied. I have no idea why Newman used the last name of Light. He was either adopted/orphaned/mother married a light/or raised by his sister who married a light?? It has always been a mystery to me! I would love to know who Newmans parents are also. His death certificate says his father is...Fred. No mother listed! I have tried for over 20 years to solve this puzzle. Just not enough relatives alive to help me. Newman has 2 birth years...1868/1870.Thanks....Rita West Myers > From: [email protected]> To: [email protected]> Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 10:20:35 -0600> Subject: [MOMARIES] Newman West aka Newman Light> > If anyone knows the story of why Newman West used the name Light, I > would love to hear it.
