While I am not aware of any relationship to the Vest family, I see so many familiar names in these posts. I was born in Buena Vista in 1942 and so many of these names were still alive when I was a boy growing up there. I remember a number of them lived up Robinson gap and were friends of both my Grandfather and Father. I remember Bonnie and Lucille and others that were school mates of mine with great fondness. Can't help you with your research but I thank you for reminding me of good times!
