I wonder if our families might connect? I have a Thomas Allen West md. to a Margaret "Peggy" Hogan in 1824 in Christian Co., KY. My Thomas Allen West was b. 1 Feb 1804 Chatham Co., NC (son of Charles H. West and Aquilla Buckner). They went to Denton Co., TX prior to 1856 where Peggy died in Aug. of that year in Denton Co. Thomas died there on 16 Sep 1875. Thomas A. West had 10 siblings as best as we can determine. I suspect your Benjamine and brother, Thomas W/N. may all be cousins. Charles H. West was a son of Thomas West, Jr. of Chatham and Orange Co., NC who died in Christian Co., KY (1735-1821). John G.
