Well, I can't believe I've made the same mistake twice. I have now edited my address book - Lafayette is very close to my cousin's name and I keep clicking the wrong one. So....since I'm embarrassed - I'll go ahead and share family I'm researching. James West, b. 1796, SC - was in Lafayette County in 1870 and 1880 census.
