Forgot to mention, at this time we have no known direct West males to qualify for the DNA testing. My relationship is from the female West daughter Lavinia. Chris MAY YOU ALWAYS WALK WITH ANGELS

The only info I have on the West ladies is the ages on the 1850 census. Mrs. Lavinia West was 40, Lavinia West was 15, Sally West was 13 and Mary West was 13. I have been unable to find them on another census. Another researcher found a Viney West as head of household in the 1840 Lowndes County Georgia census pg 240. At that time there were 2 boys and three girls. This might be Mrs. Lavinia West as a widow before meeting up with Thompson Harris. The only information I have on these West family members is in the Huxford books, Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia. This is where the info on Mrs. Lavinia West marrying Thompson Harris and Lavinia West marrying his son Hampton Harris. I have my grandfather John Harris, 1874, Georgia - 1937 Jacksonville, Florida and his siblings William and Emma's death certificates. All three died in Jacksonville area. John is buried at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Waycross,Ware County, Georgia. On John's D. C. the info was provided by his sister Emma and names his parents as Lavinia and Hampton Harris. These are the only dates I have for the West ladies. Have been concentrating on the Harris line as my father is quite elderly and wanted to get as much info as possible from him and for him. Any information anyone has would be such a help. Thank you in advance.

Hi I found on the LDS site an Eliheu West born 16 Oct 1838 in Fulton,Illinois parents are Eliheu Preston West and Ellen Moss submitter is Sarah J Rust of IL. EW it would be nice to know George W. West middle name. The middle name is either a last name or first name of the grandparents. Also, place of birth,parents information. Their is the Scottish naming pattern if anyone is familiar with it. Male side first great-grandfathers first name the Grandfather,Brother the Female side Great-grandmother,Grandmmother,sister,Aunt etc and these are usually used as first names of children. Also, when new blood married into the family the child would have the last name is used for middle name and it seems to go throughout the family groups.Then,the middle name is used to establish birth line by using the maiden names of the mother,grandmother,great-grandmother for both male and female line. So, if you have been wondering why the middle name is odd that is why. My Great-Grandfather is William Duthie West born in Pennan,Scotland. William is my Great-Great Grandfather and father of William. Duthie is the maiden name of my Great-Great Grandmother and mother of William. I am not born to West from the early days of the United States but I believe early family members from my family line must have come.

Hi West Researcher, I would like to mention to you to get the dates of birth, if possible. There are some West in GA. Willis West from Sampson County settled in GA, also. There is family from SC< TN<GA<MS<AR<LA<AL. So the more information you have the better information we can give you. How far back have you gone with your family history? I am West from Sampson County, NC also, so have your family considered the WEST DNA TEST. We have been very successful with finding relatives that we never new. It does cost, but if you have a WEST male that is willing to take the swab test, you get more answer. My brothers and I chipped and paid for the test. Please keep in touch Alice WEST Ferguson ..

My West connection is through my great grandmother Lavinia West and her marriage to Hampton Harris. Her mother Mrs. Lavinia West (don't have her maiden name) married Thompson Harris in Georgia abt 1855. The daughter Lavinia West married the youngest son of Thompson Harris and his first wife Nancy Ursery. According to the 1850 Ware County Georgia census, Thompson Harris, his son Hampton Harris, Mrs. Lavinia West, Lavinia West age 15, Sally West age 13 and Mary West age 8. Have not found Lavinia and children before 1850. Does anyone make any connection to these West women or have any idea who the husband and father to these women was? What happened to the other two girls, Sally and Mary? By the way I have the pointy things behind my teeth and the longer toe next to my big toe. My brother and his oldest son have the very black eyes and high cheek bones, not sure about the teeth or toes. My dad also has the very black eyes and from pictures of him in his younger years high cheek bones and very black hair. When I mentioned the possible NA ancestry he said no way. Have posted the info on the 2 Lavinias and the others in the past with no answers maybe this time? MAY YOU ALWAYS WALK WITH ANGELS

SANDRA We are also being selfish trying to locate our West ancestors. Thanks for the work you are doing and yes I would like a copy of the West names. EWhitehRDW@aol.com

Just noticed one of your children had black eyes. I am a West descendant from my father and her dad. My oldest son has black eyes, dark complexion, not too dark but darker than any of the others and high cheek bones and dark hair. All of us kids except one had jet black hair and brown eyes. That may be an Indian trait and it may not be but on my mother's side they look like Indians with their high cheek bones and other traits. She has a second cousin that also looks Indianish also. LW

I will be happy to answer your question about the WEST - WAGGONER RANCH. There is a huge Waggoner ranch near Vernon or was until it was or is being split up due to death etc, The George West -Wagner ranch is no relative to my George Washington West that I know of. However he did have several hundred acres until his death but not in the county you are speaking of. He built a beautiful 2 story home for his family but just last year it was burned down by one of his GGGGrandsons that got the place through heirship and not much of that either. Just a few acres and the old home place. It was literally falling down due to vacancy for many years. I have been through George West territory but never thought too much about it until you and another person mentioned a few years ago. The George W. West that is my G Grandfather is buried in the Silver Hill Cemetery in Jack County. His daughter, Matilda Jane is my Grandmother. My dad's father is my Grandfather and their son. If that helps any, I do have a little something on them. lw

You are in the same boat as I am. Lots of oral tradition, but nothing in writing yet. The nearest I can get is that my Hardings are listed as black or mulatto. I have read that since there weren't NA designations on many of the early census, they put them down as either black, mulatto or white. My Hardings go from being black, to mulatto to white in the various census in the same generation! So.. you just never know. My bro is going to take the gene test so we can see what percentage of what we are. course, that doesn't help with what Tribe it might be. Oral traditions have Cherokee (wasn't everyone in the U.S.A... LOL ) and Choctaw and Blackfoot. So we just don't know. I keep hoping to find some descendants to help me along. It could happen :) I have already found few lost 'cousins'..but none of them so far have the proof of NA... One reason is that my NA's were evidently 'Free Indians'. They were not connected to the reservations. So I just keep trying. :) May you find all your ancestors and half of your neighbor's. LOL In a message dated 4/14/2006 4:26:04 P.M.

Yes, I saw that too. That family had some strange names Afluetta, Orestes, Metellah. I think I spelled the first one right. She died very young, maybe at birth, but the others I have researched and found their families, and met members of their families. In fact, the great granddaughter of Metellah is a better researcher than I and lives in the area they lived in, she found Metellah had divorced and married again. Her first husband had married her sister, but for a while she thought it was one person, Perly Metellah or Metellah Perly. I said no it isn't, they are sisters. It took a little convincing but she had found their obits, and I told her read them and see when they died, and how many children they left. She saw they were two different people with different death dates, and different numbers of children left behind. My Mom always said she had an Olive complexion, she was much darker than her kids. We went to Crow Agency Montana for an Indian Christian camp meeting and a dog bit my daughter in the back. I told the kids to flag down the police the next time they came around and tell them, because someone needed to lock that dog up. The Indian police said they had to take Zandi to the hospital for a shot, because the dog bit her. At the Indian Hospital they asked for her Indian number. I said we don't have one. They thought she was Indian, I guess. She is the darkest Kid I have and she isn't very dark, and all my family has blue eyes. In my birth family Mom had Hazel eyes and she was the only one who didn't have blue. In the genealogy I have done, I haven't found any connections. I used to work on the edge of the Colville Reservation and some of my clients were Indian. Steve was and he looked at my family pictures and said Dad's family looked more Indian than mom's family. Dad's dad came from Prince Edward Island Canada, and before that, Scotland. There are stories of Indian on both side which my parents strongly denied. I was hoping to find it in the genealogy, but so far, I haven't.
