Married Nancy Thompson 12 May 1822 Dallas Co., AL settled and purchased property in Itawamba Co., MS 1839 probably with other family members in the area. Simon's children: Martha Ann b 1824; James Monroe, b 1825; John W. b 1827; Susan b 1830; Mary J. b 1832; Julia A. b 1835; Francis b 1836; Elmina b 1838; Jerusha b 1843, Andrew W. b 1845. I have information on children but NOTHING on parents. Sure would appreciate any help. Donald L. West don.west@emerytelcom.net

I may be rude in asking this question but how do you find out they served in the Rev. war? I am also a decendant of a West but it is not him I am asking about. It is my other GGGGrandfather. I have been told he was and have looked and looked and have never been fortunate enough to know how or where to look. Thanks, EW

My Great Grandfather, James Madison West, said on the census for Marshall Co., MS that his parents came from MD and that he was born Aug 1818 in TN on the 1900 census and I am at a brick wall on this. I am wondering if maybe one of these could be his ancestor/parent. I will work on William and Thomas just in case they went to TN after 1800. Thank you for the information.

While going through some of my CD files, I found the following genealogy from "Kentucky Genealogies, #1, Genealogies of Kentucky Families Vol. II, The Ancestry of Edward West of Lexington Kentucky, 1757-1827,"by Mabel Van Dyke Baer. Please note that this is not my ancestor, nor am I researching any of them and don't know anything else about them other than what follows, but I am posting these excerpts for anyone else who may be interested. (Remarks in parentheses are mine.DW) -------------------------------------------- Important as was Edward WEST, silversmith and steamboat inventor, of Lexington, Kentucky, it has been printed inaccurately in several important publications that he was the son of the Reverend Dr. William WEST of Baltimore, Maryland. To clear the way for a solid foundation in fact there follows a transcript of the family Bible of Rev. Dr. William WEST, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Baltimore, MD from 1779-1791. The Bible was owned by Miss Jean RUMSEY, copied by Miss Vitoria GITTINGS and deposited in the library of the Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, MD in October 1931, by Dr. J. Hall PLEASANTS. Additional material which evidently was added to the original record is shown in parentheses. Family Bible of the Rev.

I know very little about this family except what I have here. All I know is they left Putnam Co., WV and went to the area of Boyd Co., Ky. I do not know where the family scattered to from there. I am always interested in the KY area checking on more of my WEST connections. This may help someone else besides myself. It would be nice if I could find a living West Male from this line.
