There are some very interesting coincidences. My line is as follows: William Taylor West b 6 Feb 1840 Hayesville, Chester, PA d 18 Jan 1895 Upland, Delaware, PA m 25 Dec 1860 in Philly, PA Lucy Worthington Chalfant. I think: his f was William, his f was John and his f was Benjamin who d 1796. My GGgf, WT West, was in Co. I, 3rd PA Cavalry, captured at Parker's Store VA on 29 Nov 1863, was a guest at Andersonville for 14 months, and discharged in 1985. There was a 'Sparks' relationship in the family, but I don't know what branch. It may have been West, Sawyer, Chalfant, or Worthington. I sure hope something looks familiar to you.

Yes I have. My grandmother, Pirley Andrew WEST-MANNING, had a son, I believe his name was either Robert MANNING or Clayton MANNING, and he had asked his mother if she was going to go away and leave her little boy and she told him no and he told her he was going away and leaving his mother(mammy) and I believe this is the one that drowned in Couer d'Alene Lake in Couer d'Alene, Idaho. Has anyone every heard a story like that. Gramma always said he had been born with a veil over his face. I have never figured that out.

Be glad to accomodate. Spirit

Peoplw born with a "veil" were considered to be gifted. They said Sigmund Freud had one. What it is ...the amniotic sac instead of peeling pack comes out with the baby over their head. I was born with one so my mother says. Haven't found any psychic ability yet but who knows. Wonder if being psychic would help in genealogy research Nessa

With all the info I've gathered myself, along with info I've gotten from this list, it seems the farthest connection anyone has made is to: William West, b___ of Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire, England, d. January 11, 1696, married to Elizabeth _______, d. August 6, 1684. Both were Quakers and buried at Meadle. has anyone been able to track back farther than this? Also, I've noticed that for the most part the West's throughout the generations were long lifers. It seems that many lived to be 70, 80, 90 years. I've always been under the impression that the populations of these past generations typically didn't make it to 40-50 years old. Or should we just assume that "if only the good die young, the West's will be the last to go"? :-) One other thing, with speaking with several West's online as well as with my own family, we share a lot of similar traits: very artistic & creative, West men are generally tall, and the loveable big sticky-outy ears. Do the other West's share these traits? have a good day & God Bless Terri

People who are born with a veil over their face, ( a second membrane covering their face when born), Are supposed to be able to see and know things before it happens or see someone who is deceased and others can't. I had a Uncle that was "born with a veil over his face". He could see and talk with my Grandmother and others and we could not see them. One incident in particular when he was talking to her you could see the rocking chair rocking but could not see her in it. Before caller ID on phone came out they could tell you who was calling before you picked up the phone. Just some of the "oddities". Marlene

<veil over his face> I am from Ar.,and the older people said if you were born with a veil over your face,you had the power to fore-tell things before they happened. Clementine

Dear Eileen, I feel the same way, but when it is basic, computer training, I feel they should get basic training and not expect us to do their work for them. I was once a "rookie" myself, but didn't impose my lack of understanding the basics upon the "list". I went to my "computer" people, who sold me the unit and had the responsibility to "explain" things to me. Not the "online" people who have limited time to answer their mail and get on with thier life, who are looking for answers to their "genealogical answers". Noone has time to devote to training "rookies" unless that is their only goal in life. Spirit

Try Brewers in Tishimango and Wapanucka Johnson Co, OK There was an extended Brewer family there in 40's

My WESTS were born in Ohio and then came to Hennessey Oklahoma. My Great Grandmother was Estella Belle WEST. She married Lewis Ard BREWER who died of TB. They had three children: Albertina May (Brewer) Dee Waunita Estelle (Brewer) Toweill Care George Dexter Brewer Waunita was my grandmother. Evelyn SNewton284@aol.com

I'm looking for Josaphine West, married to William V.B. Green in White County, Tennessee. She died around 1900. Concerning people sending stuff twice. I have been receiving two or three copies of the same messages on all my lists. I think that it is the system, not people repeating themselves. Lynda Ridall Yang1@opman.com

I would like to take this moment and say that there are a lot of nice people out there that are willing to help and I am a WEST descendant and agree with Eileen that the only reason that some of us can't help is due to a possible health problems. I have recurring headaches, since High School, and am now 59. These headaches really put me down sometimes. Well that's my two cents worth.

There were many people of Cherokee ancestry named West in Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico (and probably elsewhere). The following came recently form another list, and could be helpful to West researchers. Cherokee Genealogy and List of Rolls - Free Lookups Info from Jackie Wood, posted to Shannon Research List-Serve. Below is a list of each Census taken of the Cherokee Nation, what each role is, and when it was taken. At the end is the address used to get in touch with the Cherokee Nation about enrollment. There are 2 books that list all Cherokee Census done by the US Govt. One book for the Eastern Band, and one for the Western Band. Though it is not commonly known, western migration of the Cherokee Nation commenced well before the removal in 1838 known as the Trail of Tears. By the time the Eastern Cherokee arrived in northeastern Oklahoma in 1839, approximately 1/3 of the Cherokee Nation was already residing there. Records of how many people, and when, moved west are limited. It is known for a fact, that as early as the 1790's, some Cherokee moved into southeastern MO. It is probable that ther were already Cherokee settled in the MO area. Due to earthquakes and flooding in MO around 1812, most of the Cherokee moved into northwestern AR. Because of mounting political pressure, the United States entered treaties with the Cherokee in 1817 and 1819, for the purpose of acquiring Cherokee land in the east. Out of these treaties, the Cherokee had a choice of two alternatives. They could either enroll to move to the traded land in northwestern AR or they could file for a reservation of 640 acres in the east which would revert to the state upon their death or abandonment of the property. By treaty in 1828, the Cherokee ceded their lands in AR for lands in OK. There was also some incentive for those east of the Mississippi to join the Cherokee in OK. Below is a list of Rolls taken in response to these treaties. Reservation Rolls 1817: A list of those desiring a 640 acre tract in the east and permited to reside there. Emigraton Rolls 1817-1835: Those who filed to emigrate to AR country and after 1828, to OK. Henderson Roll 1835: A census of over 16,000 Cherokee residing in Alabama, GA, TN, and NC, to be removed to OK under the treaty of New Echota 1835 Mullay Roll 1848: This was a census of 1,517 Cherokee people remaining in NC after the removal of 1838. Siler Roll 1851: A listing of some 1700 Eastern Cherokee entitled to a per capita payment pursuant an act of congress in 1850 Chapman Roll 1852: Actual people receiving payment based on the Siler census. Swetland Rollf 1869: A list of Cherokee and their decendants on Mullay's roll for a removal payment authorization Hester Roll 1883: Census of Eastern Band (this roll is an excellent source of information, including ancestors,Chapman roll number, age, English name and Indian name. Chruchill Roll 1908: Taken to certify members of the eastern band. lots of info on this one, including degree of blood. Rejectees also are included. Guion Miller Roll 1909: Census of all Eastern Band, residing either east or west of the MS. Ordered by Court of claims as a result of a suit won by the Eastern Cherokee. A Court of Claims suit resulted in members of the Eastern Cherokee living either east or west of the MS, not including the Old Settlers, to be entitled to participate in monetary award by the Court, as result of various treaty violations. In order to participate, one had to be alive on May 28, 1906 and establish themselves as a member of the Eastern Cherokee, or a descendant of, at the time of the violated treaties. One lucky enough to find an ancester on this roll can find out a tremendous amount of information. Not only is the roll detailed, but copies of the actual applications are available, which in most cases, go back to the mid and early 1800's. Baker Roll 1924: This was suppossed to be the final roll of the Eastern Cherokee. The land was to be alloted and all were to become reqular citizens. Fortunately the Eastern Cherokee avoided the termination procedures, unlike their brothers of the Nation to the west. The Baker Roll Revised is the current membership roll of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in NC.. Western Band of Cherokee Since the Removal in 1838, there have been numberous census taken of those Cherokee now finding themselves west of the MS, instead of their homeland in the east. The most information and cross reference can be obtained by utilizing four major census as follow. Old Settler Roll 1851: A listing of Cherokee still living in 1851, who were already residing in OK when the main body of Cherokee arrived in the winter of 1839. Drennen Roll 1852: The first census of the new arrivals of 1839. Via the Trail of Tears The Dawes Roll 1898 - 1914 The final roll for allotting the land and terminating the Cherokee Nation of OK. The roll turned out to not be as final as it was expected to be. Upon the reorganization of the Cherokee Nation of OK in the 1970's, the Dawes Roll became the only means of certifying membership. To be enrolled by the Cherokee Nation, one must prove ancestry to a person enrolled by Dawes. Information on enrollment with the Cherokee Nation may be obtained by writing to: Cherokee Nation Tribal Registrar PO box 948 Tahlequah, OK 74465

A good point (all were, actually), and is true all over of state and county boundries. So when looking in county or state records, or for cometaries, etc., with little louck, try neighboring areas that may have once been part of the named region but later was changed. - Richard Margaret Ernest wrote: > > An additional complexity is that Indian Territory at one time included parts > of Arkansas -- the boundaries moved as time progressed.
