I too am a West, and have A neg blood type, the only one of three kids. My gg. uncle, Fisher C. West, from Indiana purshased guite a bit of land in Missouri during the early 1900's and I'm sure some West's moved south. My gg grandfther, Ira Allen West and family left Dekalb Cty In. for Oklahoma in 1886, settling in southcentral Ks. and then parts of Oklahoma. ---- Original Message ---- From: AnneMaloof@msn.com To: WEST-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WEST-L] Willis West Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2006 18:53:16 -0700 >My brickwall is George Shelton West (married to Bethann), father of >John Thomas West, Conf. vet (POW) from Cass Co., MO, double GG uncle. > This family had land in what is known as the Westport part of KC. >Geo. was born en route to MO through KY.
