Greetings List, I am posting new information again. Recent information has suggested a link of our Richard West, b. 1817 in Union County, SC, with Solomon West (m. Eleanor) and Benjamin West (m. Eugenia Trail). Solomon West is one of five children to Benjamin West (b. 1700 England, d. 1780 Glen Springs, SC) & Eugenia Trail (possibly b. in Scotland, d. SC). Richard West is the only known child (?) of Solomon West (b. 1725?) & Eleanor unknown. Can any one add any information to this sketchy outline? Thanks. - Pete
