I wonder if anyone could help me find more information on my ggg-grandfather James Harvey Vest, married to Rachel Jane Harper. He was born July 18 in Paqtrick, VA, but shows up in the 1850 Census as Harvey Vess in Tazewell, VA, age 11, living in the home of Francis McGuire. His sister Nancy is shown llving next door with the family of Les H. Whitt. The 1860 census shows him married to Rachel Jane Harper, living next door to the McGuire family. He enlistedin the 23rd Battalion Infantry regiment from Tazewell in 1861, was a musician. In 1870 census lived at Maiden Spring, Tazewell, with Rachel and children. About 1872, moved to Gilmore Creek in KY. We are searching for something to document marriage date and other info on Rachel Jane Harper. Also tryijg to find info about his mother and father, who we believe to be Mary and Henry Vest (someetime listed as Vess in Patrick at his birth). If I can assist anyone else, be glad to. I have lots of info on his children, g-children, gg-children. Thanks for any help . Cathi Hassan
