Sandy, you had very generously already sent the Jefferson Co. marriage records copy to me. And after all these years of looking for Viney, one would think I would have been alert to the V/W similarities in writing, when first I saw the given name Winey. Again, my thanks for your time and your great amount of input and help.

My grandmother, Nina Alice West b. 1872 Pike Co. OH d. 1953 Lucas Co. OH, d/o Joseph Sperry West 1841-1911 & Elizabeth Jane Watts 1841-1922 told me that according to legend the WESTS are related to Mary BALL, George Washington's mother, who lived in Fredricksburg, MD. She did not have any wealth. George got his plantation from his brother, who was in the British Navy & named the farm in honor of his admiral - Admiral Vernon. The rest of George Washington's wealth came from Martha Dandridge CUSTIS, a wealthy widow who he married 1759. The Robert E. LEE Family Group are descendants of Martha Dandridge Custis's children by CUSTIS. George Washington fathered NO children - just his Country! Is there any truth to this legend? Jack R. Saylor

i fell this list new is junk. i checked my e-mail today and 130 letters. some people sent stuff twice. who is managing this list. people are using it to talk to each. this it's for "GENEALOGY" "ONLY" CAN WE PLEASE KEEP IT LIKE THAT!!!

My WESTs came to OK right before the land rush so maybe they wanted land. However, they didn't run. Grandpa opened a nursery and was also a Millwright. He was Walter Marshall WEST Sr. and lived in El Reno, Canadian Co., OK. He and Grandma Mattie Elizibeth "Mattie" BROWN raised three children, Walter Marshall, Jr., Edna Grace, and Gilbert Gordon.

I got the census information from the following site. http://www.netpathway.com/~bennie/index.html Enjoy!

I hope the list will forgive me for using the list to say this, but when someone made the remark, "if the Wests were the greatest people, they would share their information with everyone", I have to say something. Due to health problems, I can't make an offer to look up information for everyone because I don't want to offer help that I may not be able to follow through with. But you might want to know that every letter that comes through the list, if I am physically well enough to do it, I check my books, etc to see if I have anything that connects. And it I have anything I send it to the person requesting it. I feel that the person requesting it probably knows if anyone else is searching for the same name and they are free to pass it on to others without making a lot of extra mail for those that have no use for it. So I join with Myra in saying there are an awful lot of nice Wests out here that do help others and a lot of them have helped me. That's why I want to return the favor and help as many as I can. I may have to unsub to the list from time to time because I can't keep up with the amount of e-mail. But when I'm on the list and able, I love helping others if I can. Eileen

Hi Fran, In the Marriage Book for Jefferson County, GA, on page 127 it says that Riley WEST married Winey HUDSON on March 7, 1822. I had said Willis WEST but it is Riley. Also on p. 150 there is a marriage for Mathew K. WEST and Celia KNIGHT on Jan. 28, 1824. Hope this will help you or maybe someone else. Sandy

Hi: Could the Viney be a nickname for Lavinia. I have a Lavinia West in my family. She was in Md and Pa in the 1800's. Just a thought. Rosie

Thanks Guy. I've been visiting your page on a regular basis the last few days. I have found a lot of information that I didn't have. I have been so stuck on this line for the last 9 years and thought I'd throw it out again to see if I had any takers. Joy

Joy, I have some information on Henry Washington West.

If West cousins were the Greatest" as you say, they'd share their info with everyone!
