Hi all, I am looking for more information on the family of Enoch West born in North Carolina. He married Elizabeth Riddle. She was born in 1814 in TN.

About 2 a.m. this morning I sent out the following e-mail and someone was nice enough to point out I made a mistake on my Web Address in my signature line. I have corrected it, sorry for any inconvenience: In addition to the West Family Genealogy web site I am the keeper of the GenWeb Georgetown, MA Genealogy Project web site which is in Essex County, MA. Recently we set up a Submission Page for Wills for descendants of Essex County. The response has been tremendous and in just over a week we have sixty-six wills of Essex County Descendants online, available to genealogy researchers all over the world. I am interested in accomplishing the same for Wills of WEST descendants and have set up a WEST Wills page on the West Family Genealogy web site with a sample will format and instructions on how to submit them. The power of the internet for genealogy research is beyond belief. If all you WEST Family ancestors will support this endeavor new windows will open for all WEST Family researchers.

Hi Clay L. Brown: Several years ago a painting done by the renowned Benjamin WEST was on display at the MD Historical Society in Baltimore, MD. There was sent to me a very good, concise genealogy chart of Benjamin WEST, the artist. While I can not recall particulars, I do entertain the notion the immediate family of Benjamin was given. Perhaps a query to the MD Historical Society might provide answer to your question? I realize the above is not a good answer to your question, but it is one area to explore.

Hello I just started working on my WEST family and joined the WEST-L list yesterday so here's my first question!!! The sketch of my 3G grandfather Charles West STARR in the "Biographical and Genealogical History of Wayne, Fayette, Union and Franklin Counties, Indiana, Volume II" states that Charles West STARR's grandparents were John STARR who "wedded Miss Mary WEST, a cousin of Benjamin WEST, the celebrated painter of Philadelphia..." Mary WEST was the daughter of Charles and Hannah (COOPER) WEST. Does anyone know who Charles WEST's parents were or if he was the brother of John WEST, father of the painter Benjamin WEST? Thanx, Clay L. BROWN

Virginia, Could your James West who married Elizabeth Liggett be the correct person. James West's ancestors: Owen West/Elizabeth Martin, married in Campbell Co, VA Joseph West/Jane Owen (Quaker), married in Chester Co, PA (Benjamin West the painter was Joseph's brother) John West/Sarah Pearson (Quakers). John West 1st married Elizabeth Beasley in England. She died there while John was in America to visit brothers Thomas and William in PA. If this is your line, would be glad to share additional info.

These children born in Mo. to James and Elizabeth---Henry Clay b Dec 7 1842--Francis M. b1847--Maria b 1849--William b1854. Does anyone know of a 1st possible wife?

Joseph Squire Hagans married 4 June 1854, in Fayette Co., Penn to Minerva Elizabeth West. Joseph was supposedly the son of Joseph Hagans and Mary Fuller and may have been born in Essex Co., New York. I have his dates as b. 10 Aug 1812 and died in 1887, Fayette Co., Penn. When he married, in 1854, he was then living in Marion co., (West) Virginia. His wife Minerva Elizabeth West, was the dau. of Enos and Margaret West. Minerva was born 1820 and died 1889. Their children were Margaret Jane Hagans b. 18 June 1855, Marion Co., W.Vir Frank Snyder Hagans, b. 29 Aug 1862, Fayette Co., Penn. Charles Ammi Hagans b. 4 Oct 1857, Marion Co., W. Vir.

VA) and Anne or Mary Hadden (or Madden). 1 NOTE "John West, brother of Thomas, Third Lord Delaware, Gov of VA, was born___, and died in 1659-60. He was a member of the Va Company 1609; he came to the Colony at an early date; was member of the House of Burgesses 1629-30, justice of York (whree he lived some time) 1634 and member of the Council from 1631 until his death. He was Gov from May 1635 to Jan 1637 and in the latter year was sent to England (along with Matthews and Utie and Peirce who had gone over a year before) to stand trial for their share in Harvey's deposition; but nothing appears to have come of it. On August 27 1640 the King wrote to the Governor of Virginia directing him to send over West Matthews Peirce and Menefie to answer to an information in the Star Chamber. This likewise seems to have amounted to nothing for in the next year (1641) he was appointed Muster Master-General of Virginia. He married Anne____?____ and had an only child John West Jr. By order of court bearing date 6th of June 1632 Sir John Harvey Knight and the rest of the Council granted unto Captain John West 2000 acres of land in consideration of his son being the first born Christian at Chiscayack (Conway Robinson's Notes from General Court Records). In 1651 Captain John West was granted 1550 acres in York county and among the head rights were himelf "4 times" [ie; four times from England]Mrs. Anne West "twice," and John West Jr. Among other large grants was one on the Mattapony in Gloucester Co.," in 1654 and another (as Col. John West) in 1657. This last he failed to seat and in 1662 it was regranted to Captain John West as his "son and heir." In 1655 Col. John West Esq. and John West Jr. were witnesses to a deed from Pindeabank an Indian to Edward Wyat (son of Rev. Hawte Wyatt). At the session of March 1659-60 the Assembly passed an order declaring "Whereas the many important favours and serves rendered to the contrey {sic} of Virginia by the noble family of the West predecessors to Mr. John West their now only survivor claim at least a gratefull remembrance of their former merits be still continued to their survivor It is ordered That the levies of the said Master West and his family be remitted and that he be exempted from payment thereof during life." (Hening I, 547) Col. John West, Jr., lived at "West Ponit" (now King William county); sat on the courts martial which tried the rebels in Bacon's time, and in 1680 was senior justice and Colonel commanding the militia of New Kent County (see Mag III p. 248). He married Ursula daughter of Major Joseph Croshaw of York county (York Records) and left issue (his will being dated 1689) - three sons John Nathaniel and Thomas and a daughter Anne who married Henry Fox. They have many descendants of their own name and in the families of Aylett Claiborne Fox Dandridge and numerous others." ¨13. Greenbriar County Legislative Petitions; 1783 June 13. Petition for repeal of the law requiring that no grant on settlement or preemption rights be issued until 3 pounds per 100 acres be paid to the grantees. Some of the petitioners when first settled in the county signed a petition by the late Gen.
