Hello, I found this the other day and was wondering if anyone out there knew of the WEST/Maryland connection.. I've been trying to find out more about the Maryland WESTs. If it rings a bell, let me know, Thanks, Ron Carty rcarty@arl.mil Aberdeen, MD. ----------------------------------- 1850 Surry County North Carolina Census: James WEST 35 M White NC Isaiah 87 M White Maryland Mary 53 F White NC Alexander 23 M White NC Nancy 17 F White NC Amelia 13 F White NC Austin 15 M White NC Willie 16 M Mulatto NC
