Help! I've been searching & searching for information on my Great Great Grandfather Harvey West. I don't know his b/d dates but I would guess that he was born around 1850-1860 since his children were born in the 1880s. He lived in Schuyler County MO (around Downing) and he married Marietta (or Mary Etta) Waddle and they had three children - Lou (m), Rena (f) and Anna May. Anna May married William Neil and Lou and Rena ended up in Olney Illinois. If anyone has any info that can help, I'd be very appreciative! Thanks!

Henry West came from North Ireland at the age of 2 with his brother James and his parents Henry and Jane (McGeary) West. I am missing the information from the time they arrived until Henry and James settled in Tiltonsville, Jefferson County, Ohio. James in 1796 and Henry in 1798. James only had two daughters. Henry West married Mary Brown in 1805. They had the following children. Jenet West 1806-1808 James West 1808-1886 Dr. Henry West 1810-1887 Dr. Simon Brown West 1812-1885 Thomas West 1815-1850 John M.

West 1829-1848 I have spouses and descendants for all listed above. I know that the original Henry traveled on the same ship as an Isaac West. Relationship if any unknown. If any of this sounds familiar please respond.

Durham - West Families Compiled and Submitted by Theda Pond Womack 1425 Wrights Lane Gallatin, Tennessee 37066 *Please Note: Theda welcomes and encourages correspondence and/or queries concerning the following family. Please consider her time and expense and include a S.A.S.E. (self addressed stamped envelope) when you make inquies to her. Mary West was born in Onslow County, North Carolina in 1799. Her father, John West, Sr., was a native of Maryland but had moved to Onslow County when he was a child and had served in the Revolution from there. In 1806, John came to Sumner County, Tennessee, bought land here, and built his house. The following year he moved his family here, including 9 year old John, Jr. and 7 year old Mary, and possibly some older children also. We do not know whether Mary's mother, Rachel, died back in North Carolina, or after coming to Tennessee. In 1810 her father remarried Susannah Freeland and they had four children. About 1816, Mary married Thomas Durham, who was from Orange County, North Carolina. Thomas was born in 1791 and there is a legend in the Durham family that Thomas and five of his brothers fought in the battle of New Orleans. Mary's father also fought there. John West, being a personal friend and a great admirer of Jackson, followed him wherever he went. He also fought with Jackson in the expedition against the Creek Indians. In 1818, Thomas received a grant of 25 acres on middle fork of Drake's Creek from the State of Tennessee. We do not know whether or not they ever lived here. We suppose they did up until 1842 when Thomas purchased a 100 acre farm from Thomas Perry. In 1843, Thomas died and is buried on this land. Three years later Mary's father gave an additional 77 1/2 acres adjoining this farm. And from this farm in 1870 Mary and her children gave a lot to Thomas M. Hunter, Sr., James M. Minnis, Andrew W. Hunter, Issac M. Ashlock and Thomas J. Moncrief, Trustees for a "Methodist Episcopal Church South to be called Mt. Vernon." Mary and several of her children were members of this church. The church cemetery grew up around the Durham family cemetery. By 1870, all of Mary's children were married and she was then living alone. She died in 1883 and was buried beside Thomas in the cemetery which by that time was being called "Mt. Vernon Church cemetery." Thomas and Mary West Durham were ancestors of Donnelley employee, Ronnie McWhirter. Mary West Durham was the sister to my great great grandfather, John West, Jr., who was born 1798 in North Carolina, married 1st in 1821 to Polly Allen, 2nd to Sarah Browning in 1834, and died 20 September 1852 in Sumner County, Tennessee. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Return to Sumner County Families Return to Table of Contents

Hi Nancy, Looks like you have several questions. Hope these answers will help. 1. There is only one Clinton, MO. It is located in Henry Co. about 65 miles se Kansas City. There is a Clinton Co. but they are not related. 2. Salem, MO is in Dent Co. about 100 miles se of St. Louis. 3. Harrisburg, Arkansas is in Poinsett Co. about 40 miles ne Memphis TN. 4. I don't know anything about Seely. Could it be Searchy, Ark. located in White Co. about 25 miles ne Little Rock? 5. I don't know anything about Bakersfield or Watanooga (sorry).

She was born in Clinton, Henry county, Missouri on November 18, 1884. She grew up around Clinton and Salem, Missouri until she was 9 years old when they moved to Harrisburg (berg), Arkansas. In Missouri her family lived in a smokehouse in her Grandma Adams yard. Grandma Adams was redheaded and Dutch. She also said something about a George Garvey's Store in or near Harrisburg (Harrisberg). She also mentioned a Bakersfield (a town) that used to be named something else but I couldn't understand the old town name. She also mentioned traveling through Seely and Watanooga (spelling?). I am assuming that these are in Arkansas. I can't seem to find a good internet site to answer these questions; and my Atlas don't have these towns on them (or I'm not looking in the right area). Now, for some questions. Where is Salem in regards to Clinton, MO? Are they in the same county? Is there more than one 'Clinton, MO'? Where is Harrisburg (berg), Arkansas? In What county? has anyone heard of Bakersfield in this area? Or a Mr. Garvey's store? Where is Seely and Watanooga? And most important, Can we have family a family connection? I would appreciate any answers.

1880 Iowa Soundex cards for some WESTs birthplace: Canada (Eng) And wondering if anyone can confirm/offer an opinion if their WEST ancestors considered themselves from Canada, England? (I was never a history/geography buff...but I hear from others that this was the case?) Educate me! :) Sandy -- The Bressler Family WEST and KIPLE Genealogy http://www.ns.net/~bbb/west.htm
