    3. Hi, I'm new to this but haven't seen any of my family so far that I can recognize. Would appreciate some help. My family line is: John and Lavina (Vina) MYERS WEST We think Lavina was born abt. 1817 in TN. Their children were: James (my great grandfather) b. Sept. 16, 1836, Amos b. 1837, Lydia b. 1839, John b. 1841, Elizabeth b. 1843, Wm. b. 1846, who served in the Confederate Army, & George b. 1848. These dates may be off. We think James' date is correct. James married Sarah Scarber (Scarbrough or Scarborough??) and she was born and died in TN. Their children were probably born between 1855-1865. They were: John Andrew who died in Dayton, Ohio, Wm., Vina, James Hezekiah who went by the name Hezekiah, Lydia, Florence, Sarah who we think married a GARNER, and George Washington WEST, my grandfather who married Catherine Elizabeth EVERHART, daughter of Rebecca GRUBB and George EVERHART. James served in the Union Army and died Aug. 19, 1923 in Morristown TN after being hit by a train in Bulls Gap TN on Aug. 17th. My grandparents, George and Elizabeth brought their family to Indiana in 1929. Thanks for any leads you can give me. Phyllis WEST Parsons Respond to: pjwp@juno.com
