They had 9 children, the only ones still living by 1897 were Thomas and one sister, Martha, widow of Saxton Barry, who now (1897) resides in Colorado. Thomas married 11 Feb 1847, Mary E., daughter of Henry and Mary Hefreight, natives of Germany, but for many years residents of Huntingdon county. Of the 9 children born to Thomas and Mary Hefreight Westbrook, only 5 were alive by 1897: JOhn H. and George B. of Huntingdon; James R. of Pottsville,Pa; Mary E.(Mrs. John Conrad) of Fort Wayne, Indiana; and Margaret(Mrs. Robert Sampson) of Colorado. _______________________ page 310 - bio of Abraham V. Westbrook, born 15 Feb 1824 in Huntingdon, Huntingdon county, a son of Levi and Mary (Thompson) Westbrook, also natives of Huntingdon county. Levi and Mary's children were: John; Martha; Elizabeth; Levi; George A.; Abraham V; and James A. His wife dying in 1823, Levi Westbrook was agian married, to Rebecca Parkson, by whom he had 4 daughters: Mary Catherine; Margaret A; Louisa; and Rebecca. Abraham V. Westbrook was married to Mary Ann, daughter of James and Annie (Goodman) Simpson, born in 1831. Their only child is Vance W., who married Julia Wick, Philadelphia, where they reside. NOTE: something needs checking here as the author says that Abraham was born in 1824 and Abraham's mother died in 1823 - so either one of those dates is wrong, or Abraham's mother was the 2nd wife.
