Hi all, I am searching for information regarding Simeon W. West, b. abt.1796 in NY or MA, d. after 1860, md. Charlotte Smith, b. abt. 1817 in CT, daughter of John Rossiter and Delight CHURCH Smith. Simeon West is enumerated in the 1850 US Census for Granville Township, Bradford County, PA as 54 years of age, property valued at $1,000, a farmer born in MA, along with wife Charlott , 34, born CT, and children Mary A. West, 5, born PA; Martha E. West, 1, born in PA. Also listed are Martin West 21, a farmer, from PA, and Andrew West, 19 a farmer, from PA. These could be children from a former marriage. Simeon W. West is enumerated in the 1860 US Census for Granville Township, Bradford County, PA as a 62 year old farm hand born in NY. Also listed are wife Charlotte, 42, from CT, and sons Barthe, 10 and Davius, 7 both born in PA. I've identified their children as: Lovera Clarinda West, b. 1833 in PA ,married Dewitt Clinton Ayers Mary Ann West, b. 27 Jan 1844 in PA, married Philander Ayers John R. West, b. abt. 1847 in PA Martha E. West, b. abt. 1849 in PA Barthe West, b. 1850 in PA Davius West, b. 1852 in PA Norman Wilson West, abt. 1853 in PA There was also a Simeon West in Columbia Township, Bradford County, PA at the same time (1850-1880), married to Phebe Baxter. This Simeon was born in 1794/95 in MA and they had 10 children and are buried together in Baptist Hill Cemetery in Bradford County, PA. I believe this to be a totally different family. In the 1870 census for Leroy Township, Bradford County, there is a Simeon West, born 1796 in PA, a blind retired farmer, boarding with another family, and the other Simeon and Phebe are still alive in Columbia Township and I can't find Charlotte in the census. By 1980 Charlotte is living with one of her grandchildren in Columbia Township, Bradford and I can't find any Simeon anywhere. Any ideas? Kathy
