Hi, Can anyone please help me with this line? I'm searching for Wilson WEST who was born approx. 1828 somewhere in NC. He is in Overton Co. TN in the 1850 census with his wife, Nancy Jane JACKSON. I think they stayed close by the Jackson family and moved through Benton Co. AR in the late 1850s to Grayson County, Texas. It gets a little confusing for records searches because they lived right on the border of Grayson and Cooke Counties in Texas. I did find the grave of one daughter, Mary West b. Nov 23, 1857 died August 26, 1866 in Allison Cemetery in Grayson County TX. In the 1870 Census for Grayson County the family is listed as this: Wilson West 46y, born NC Nancy J. 40yr, born TN A.M. 20 y. (Female) b. TN (she's not in the 1860 census) Andrew D. 18y b. TN Julia A. 17 y., b TN Charity M. 16y. b. TN William S. 14 y. b KY Sarah J. 11y. b ARK James J. 7y, b. TX Morgan 4 y., b. TX Martha 3y b. TX Infant 2/12 (female) b. TX This is from the 1880 census: Wilson West 56 Nancy 50 Andrew 27 Sarah J. 20 James T. 18 John 15 Mathie C. 13 Laura 10 Cordelia S. 8 My husband's line comes from Sarah J. who married Joseph B. Deen in 1880. They moved to Oklahoma. If anyone sees a possible connection to this line, please let me know. I'm especially interested in finding out where Wilson West came from originally in NC and who his parents may be. Shelly Henley Kelly Galveston TX
