Cindy, I would like to find out what part of NC did your Thomas West b. 1792/3 come from? I have West in my family from Sampson County and migrated from NC to NC>SC>GA/LA/AL (Central part of Sampson County) Now there are also some WEST related to me from SC, James West, 1798 migrated from SC>TN>GA>MS. Has your family taken the WEST DNA test yet? You would need a male WEST. Its a sure thing or it was for us. We have had 5 families match in less than a year. We had 25 markers out of 25 that matched.
