My ancestor is Lucius West born 24 Febr 1809 in Vermont. One of his sons had a child named Otho West ca 1880. Maybe no connection but noticed the unusual name.

My family was in Monroe Co. at that time. I don't have a lot of information, but I put what I have on this web page: http://www.angelfire.com/in/wjacademy/westfamily.html Debra (sorry, but I will be leaving town for awhile so if you have any questions I won't be around for a couple weeks....but maybe the page will give you some information).

Benjamin WEST, Sr., Hall Co., GA, Private NC Militia $23.33 annual allowance, $69.99 amount received 17 January 1834, pension started, age 75 John WEST, Talbot Co., GA, Private, SC Cont'l Line $80 annual allowance, $240 amount received 14 March 1834, pension started, age 72. Those are the only two WEST names on the 1835 Pension Rolls for GA. While there was no further information, I think someone might be able to work with this information to obtain Revolutionary War records. That would lead to further research. Fran

I have a Bible Record of the West family of Corinth, Miss. The family was living in Corinth, Miss, during the Civil War. William West was reported to be a Methodist minister. If you can add to this or need proof of the material, please contact me. The Bible is The New Testament, published in NY in 1829.

I am new to the list. My gggg grandfather Henry West came from North Ireland to America just before the American Revolution. His wife's name was Jane and he had two sons James and Henry. I believe he also traveled with an Isaac West (unknown connection). Henry and family settled somewhere in PA. Jane died five years later. Do not know Henry SR. death. James and Henry Jr. later joined the first settlers of Ohio in 1796-1798. They settled in Jefferson County Ohio. I have the family history and birth/death/marriage dates from that time forward. I have been unable to locate the ship they traveled on or the relationship of Isaac. Would love to go backwards to Ireland. Will be happy to share information I have with anyone researching Jefferson/Belmont county West's.
