Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? Jack R. Saylor South Bend, IN >> Greetings, again, Jack, I was excited to see your listing about Leander Leedom West. I have Jacob Gillmore West, a younger brother of Leander, as a part of my ancestry. I have inserted a link here, to a page showing a copy of the will of William West, Leander and Jacob's father. <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohmuskin/wills.htm">Muskingum Co OHGenWeb - Homepages</A> I hope this will prove of interest to you. I have more information on some of the descendants of William, and will be happy to share with any who are interested. Claud Bell, Tacoma, WA Capcolectr@aol.com
