The 1870 Monroe Co.MS census had her as V V WESt Do you know what happened to Vannie's mother, Elizabeth West? She was in the household of her son, Thurston P. (Pinkney) in 1910. However, he died in about 1917 or 1918. I do not know where she went after his death. Do you have a death date and place of burial? Elizabeth's mother was Margaret Jaudon McDow and her father was William Pinkney McDow. I have not been able to find Virgil West either. However, Elizabeth said in 1910 Wood Co.TX that she had 6 children, only 4 living. That would be the 4 that left MS for TX.
