This is my first post to this list and as such, I would appreciate any tips, etc. that anyone may have to offer. My subject is Lucius West, born February 24, 1807 somewhere in Vermont and deceased April 28, 1879 in Westminster, California (part of L.A. these days). Lucius was apparently married three times: 1. Catherine Gardner; 2. Mary Van Dyke and Margaret Shirley/Williams. In turn, the second set of subjects are his parents. The only information I have on them is that his father's name was John West and that his mother's maiden name was Wealthan. I assume they have a Vermont connection because of that being listed as Lucius' birth state. Thanks, any information on these persons would be appreciated.
