He was the child of George P. WEST and Elizabeth CARLISLE, the latter being the daughter of James CARLISLE and Abigail WADE of Villisca, Iowa. Elizabeth Carlisle WEST had two sisters living in Otoe and Cass counties, each being married to two APPLEGATE brothers. Margaret CARLISLE was married to Isaac Newton APPLEGATE (his pioneer biography posted on NEGenWeb for Cass County) and they had one son, Leroy. Lydia CARLISLE was married to Isaac’s younger brother, Mahlon APPLEGATE, and they seemed to live back and forth between Villisca, Iowa and Nebraska City. They had two daughters: Eva, who died at 11 months, and Jessie, who died around 10 years old.
