The current History Forum at the Alamo Library on the Alamo Grounds brought news that should be shared with West researcher. Emily Morgan, the Yellow Rose of Texas, has always been a heroine in Texas History and has been honored for her role in winning independence. For those not fortunate enough to be born in Texas, I will review the story. It has been believed that Emily Morgan, a beautiful slave owned by the Morgan family, was in Santa Anna's tent, distracting the little general at the time when the Texas attacked and won at the Battle of San Jacinto under the command of General Sam Houston. According to the historians speaking last week at the Alamo, there is now proof that Emily was not a slave. She was a woman of multi=racial heritage, but she was not a slave. She was an indentured servant with a contract to work for the Morgan family. Apparently, the actual contract has been found. And now the most interesting part for the West list. She worked for the Morgan family, but her name was Emily West and she was from New York. She had traveled with Lorenzo de Zavalla's wife and family from New York to Texas and after San Jacinto, she returned to New York. Again, she traveled with the deZavalla family. Travel was up the Miss, then the Ohio to Wheeling and then stage coach on to New York. If you need more information about these new finding, contact the Alamo Library and ask about the speakers at the forum. They can give you book titles that will help if you want to know more. I just thought that Wests everywhere ought to know that The Yellow Rose of Texas was really a West. Marti McLain McValliant@aol.com

I have a Winey Hudson who married Willis West in Georgia in 1800's. Her name in one place looked like it had been written Viney and changed to Winey. Let me know if you are intested in dates and locations. Sandy

The Cherokees were required to go to Oklahoma if they wanted to receive benefits. Many Cherokees did not go, as they already owned land where they were and were satisfied with what they had. Others went to other states, Texas, for example. The same is true of members of the other Indian tribes which were settled in Indian Territory -- some went, some did not. This is one of the reasons why many of Indian descent do not appear on the various Indian rolls: they did not migrate with the tribe. An additional complexity is that Indian Territory at one time included parts of Arkansas -- the boundaries moved as time progressed. My husband's great great grandmother was of Cherokee descent, born in Indian Territory when it included parts of Arkansas. She was never on the Rolls, although she did go eventually to Oklahoma. Margaret Ernest

They sure could have gone IA to OK then to IA. Mine went from NC to MO to AR then back to MO. Then their kids went MO( to AR to MO. Next generation went MO to OK and finally stayed in one place. Does any one have a Lynnus West I am not sure of spelling. She was born in 1890s and married a man named Markum. She had at least one son-Bobby Markum

Some WESTs went to Oklahoma because they were Cherokee and were required to by the Govt. Others went for the same reason so many others did: land, during the Oklahoma Land Rush. - Richard Shannon Mythos: History, Genealogy, Storytelling New Home of the West Genealogy and Surname Research Page http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~shannon1/ > > >>>...

Okay, Cousins, I am removing the "Reply To" feature from the list. I really thought it would work better for us, but guess I missed this one. Now all replies will go only to the one who sent the post. If you have something that you think the list would be interested in, please utilize the "Reply to All" button. I apologize to the ones who were offended, and to those who liked the feature. But I guess the old adage that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies here. This has been the best list I have ever subscribed to. West cousins are still the greatest.
