I am searching for information on Daniel James West who was wounded and captured at Fort Fisher, N.C. Co D, 1st Bat N.C.H.Art. I believe he is the brother of John Wright West. Did he die as a prisoner? How would I find out?

Richard, Do you know if this family left VA and if so when and where do they go? I am looking for an ancestor for my John WEST born abt. 1812. He had a son John and a son William. They were in East Tennessee. Thanks for any help you can give me. Phyllis WEST Parsons

Hi, As I'm up against a brick wall,I want to toss another brick at you. Several cousins of us on here have been searching for John West b.1788 in Bladen Co.,NC..He married Elizabeth Frazier in 1815 in NC.. We have not been able to trace his parents.His son Owen West b.1819 in NC.,is our ancester lineage. Here is a catcher.I just came in to a paper written by Owen's granddaughter who was born 1896 that states---Grandad's parents Zackey and Patsy. Is Elizabeth ever referred to as Pasty? John's middle name was William. Has any one ever come across a reference to Zackey? Clementine West Hughes

Considering that I have come to believe that my grandmother lied about more than her age, I hesitate to put any info down for fear that it is wrong. However, here is the sketch: Benjamin Parker West; b.1925, Bethlehem, PA Clement L. West; b.4/5/1832, Phil, PA Joseph west; b. in Chester Co., PA William West; b. 1724 in Upper Providence, RI John West; b. @1690 in England Thomas West; b. 1635 in Eng. Most of this was gleamed from the net; accuracy being what we know to be suspect, I leave it to you to do with what you will. The whole point is to prove a connection to Benjamin West, the painter, without having to stretch the imagination, as I have had to do (albeit an interesting stretch). Whatever you have in the way of documentation would be thrilling. Thanks, SWJ

Anyone out there a descendant of this man? Was he father of Billie West (female) in SC, early 1800's?

Seeking the ascendants of Benjamin Parker West. Anybody out there with some info that will help me? Thanks in advance. SWJ

If you had any WEST's in Claiborne Co. TN, you will want to check their Pioneer Index at: http://www.geocities.com/~claibornetn/pioneer/index.htm Jerry

All, Well said, Dale. The 93% of freeloaders out there should be ashamed. Karl At 11:57 AM 5/6/99 -0400, Dale West wrote: >For as little as $12 a year you can be a contributor. Please consider >making a donation today, you will benefit greatly from it.

In yesterdays RootsWeb Review (Vol. 2, No. 18), RootsWeb is responding to questions about commercial partnerships, while retaining non-profit status. I think it is very important that more users contribute. I urge everyone to read the below excerpt and contribute what you can. If 93 per cent of the people who use the resources are not contributors, we are depending on 7% of the users to finance RootsWeb. If RootWeb is to continue operation and grow without going commercial, this is not realistic! If you receive useful family information from RootsWeb mailing lists or save one trip to a library or Family History Center, this is worth a contribution. The people who have created RootsWeb are pretty phenomenal in their commitment and excel in skills that make rootsweb one of the best managed sites on the internet. While RootsWeb is very near the top of the high traffic sites, it is one of the most reliable. For as little as $12 a year you can be a contributor. Please consider making a donation today, you will benefit greatly from it. "When we launched RootsWeb, we assumed that our users would prefer to support us as much as they were able, in exchange for a site open to all, without banners plastered all over everything and without having resources locked up (as is done at other genealogy sites), available only for fees on the order of $60 per year. Instead, people can support RootsWeb for as little as $12 per year. We thus hoped that a reasonable fraction of our users, perhaps half of them, would support us in some way. And because we expected support from the community, we made promises to projects like USGenWeb that we would freely host them for the good of the Internet genealogy community. We have no intention of reneging on those early promises, but it has been difficult, because the community support we anticipated has not been there. Although people use the site like crazy, fewer than 7% of our users have chipped in to keep things going. The other 93%? Perhaps they're busy, or they're broke, or they won't pay unless they have to, or they don't think RootsWeb is useful. Who knows? But it means that RootsWeb has run at a cash flow loss. In simple terms, Karen Isaacson and Brian Leverich have donated not only their time as system administrators but a substantial part of their personal resources to provide the genealogical community with RootsWeb. The rest of RootsWeb's staff have also made substantial contributions. Because RootsWeb's costs exceed its income, we can't provide all the genealogical facilities we'd like to support. These could include online searchable databases of pension records, census indexes, vital records, or countless other valuable genealogical services that we could easily provide -- if only we could afford the staff to support them. And, ultimately, RootsWeb can't even continue to exist if we don't bring our costs and revenues into balance, something we want to have under control before the transition to non-profit status (as opposed to losing money status) is completed. We are doing what we can to remedy the situation. For instance, we are selling banner advertisements where we can. However, this alone will never provide enough revenue to cover the costs of the unbannered volunteer projects which consume most of RootsWeb's resources yet by their very nature produce no direct revenue, even as they provide invaluable content to the genealogical community. The new communities, from their inception, will be fully supported by advertising. They will be paying their own way. We can shift some of the costs of maintaining the Web, mailing list, GenConnect, and search engine servers onto the new communities, so that the new communities will subsidize a genealogical community that hasn't been supporting itself. Although we have been disappointed in the amount of financial support of the genealogical community, we would like to express our deep gratitude to the writer of the letter above and the other 7% of our users who have helped make RootsWeb available to the whole community. Without their support and encouragement, there would be no RootsWeb." If you would like to join the folks who are making RootsWeb possible and thus help us bring new genealogical data online, freely available to all, please visit: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html or send e-mail to: RW-info@rootsweb.com -- Dale West RootsWeb Sponsor e-mail: dwest@banet.net
