According to many anthropologists & archeologists, the original Native Americans came across from Asia by either walking across through the Bering Straits during the latter part of the ice age when the water level was much lower than it is now, or the newer theory is that they may have actually sailed in boats from Europe/Asia down the West Coast of America and settled the land along the way. This would have been sometime in the last 10,000 - 20,000 years. That is why the Native people in Alaska and the original North American Indians have a decidedly Oriental look to their features, although it does seem to have mellowed out somewhat as time has gone by.

Hi all, I'm writing from Australia which is where my great great great grandfather, Henry West came as a 16 year old (arriving in Australia in 1828). He was born in Middlesex, England in 1802 in a village called Bedfont. His father was Thomas West (a brickmaker - nothing further known). Would any other members of the list have any West connections in London, or specifically, Middlesex?? Thanks and cheers, Paul. (ps. my surname is Miller as my Father was adopted)

Could you please send me a list of the West names also? I would appreciate it very much. Thank you, Davidconor@pvns.net

Hi, When people cames to the United States it seemed the woman lost their maiden names(unless it is preserved). This is very confusing for people to find their ancestors unless it is verbally handed down or a bible is left. Then you have people who came over and didn't want any trouble because of their religion/nationality so, the name changed. Slaves as you know took their masters last name because they didn't have one. I have a name that I am trying to find out if it is American Indian name also.

I was specifically wondering where your source was for the 4 wives of William West. He did not marry Abigail Sprague. He married Abiah Sprague b. 27 Jan 1688 Hingham, d. bef Apr 1721 d/o William Sprague and Deborah Lane. They did not have a dau. named Abigail. He married Jane Tanner abt 1723, dau. of William Tanner and Mary Babcock. Their last known child was born abt 1739. What exactly is your source for the other two wives. By the way, ancestry's world tree is not a *source*. It consists mainly of the same type of information as in familysearch.org. Can be used as a clue only. I'm speaking here of actual documents.

Paul, Here is an entry by one of my other cousins, who has been doing research on our WEST family for quite some time: Descendants of Benjamin West, Sr., by Michael Ann Cramer Generation One 1. Benjamin West, Sr. was born?, Middlesex County or Sussex County, England. Child of Benjamin West, Sr.: 2. i. Benjamin West (II), Sr. born about 1749. Notes for Benjamin West, Sr.: Notes from Ellen Belle Lilja: Benjamin West, Sr. Father is William West. Benjamin West, Sr. was killed during the Revolutionary War, the battle of Sullivan's Island. Notes for Benjamin West, Sr.: Notes from Barbara West: Benjamin West had stolen away on a clipper ship and came to the new world and was only 13 years old, when they found Benjamin on the ship they made him a cabin boy, and when he got to the new world he jumped ship and ran off to the frontier. He was from a family of 8 children and they were very poor, and later he sent for one of his brothers William, he came from Sussex, England. Benjamin had died in the battle of Sullivan's Island. If he brought anymore over I do not know the letter that I copied said all of this but it faded until you could not read it. Benjamin West, Sr. Father is William Joseph West. Maybe we could make a connection, here. How much information do you have on your Henry West? Do you have any siblings names?

I remember my grandmother, Pirley 'Pearl' Andrew West-Manning, had mentioned something about being SHANTY-IRISH. Asked what that meant and she said they were the darker Irish. Since then I have been told that there is possiblly indian somewhere in the family. We have, for the most part, high cheekbones and as we age we tend to get the eye most common to cherokee/indian. I have an Uncle, Hugh Edward Manning, now deceased, who is dark with the squinty eye which is quite unique, sort of oriental which the Cherokee say they were originally.

This one caught my eye real quick. Was your James Madison West born in Ohio or did he move there? What was his date of birth? His wife's name, etc? I descend from a James Madison West, b. Aug 1818 in TN and think he was married twice and the wife I descend from was Amanda Jane Ragsdale, b. abt. Oct 1850 in GA/AL and they were married in Hardeman Co., TN Dec 1866 and later moved to Holly Springs, Marshall Co., MS where they lived and died. According to the censuses from 1870-1910 James says his parents were born in MD. Does any of this sound familiar?
