I believe this James West may be on the Walton Co. Ga Census in 1820. His son Wade Hampton West was born in 1818 in Ga. This James West household has the right amount of children with the right ages and the parents are in the right age group. Certainly not any proof. But it was the only James West that fit that criteria. By 1830 this family is gone from Ga. and I believe that they have moved on to Ark. The oldest daughter has married a McInvail(or some variation of) in Ga.? going by the age of her little girl Emily. The widowed Harrett McInvail marries the widower Peter Tumlinson either in Ark or TX. His family is living in Ark and hers has moved on to Tx. I do not know what was included in Walton Co. in 1820. Hope that helps, Jean Black
