I am seeking information on Thomas West, born 13 Nov 1813 in Laurens County, SC, married 8 Oct 1835 to Malinda Murff in Laurens County, and died 15 July 1896 in Calhoun County, Mississippi. I have information about this couple from the Murff genealogy, but I have no information about Thomas' parents, siblings, etc. Any leads about his ancestry would be most appreciated. One of his sons, William Randolph West, MD, married Mellinium Creekmore, and they are the parents of my paternal grandmother, Mabra Ethel West. Thanks in advance. Jim Pittman -- James A.
