My Great Grandfather, James Madison West, said on the census for Marshall Co., MS that his parents came from MD and that he was born Aug 1818 in TN on the 1900 census and I am at a brick wall on this. I am wondering if maybe one of these could be his ancestor/parent. I will work on William and Thomas just in case they went to TN after 1800. Thank you for the information.

WEST, Jonathan WEST, Joseph WEST, Nathaniel WEST, Richard WEST, Thomas WEST, William First, I have no idea about Joseph, But the skinny on the others is that they are related. Either cousins or brothers, but they all came from Baltimore County MD via the western PA area. The older ones, Thomas, William and Nathaniel all served in the Rev. War. Nathaniel and William bought land in 1791 from a Mr. South. In 1793, Nathaniel sold his part and soon was in Knox County, IN. William went to Barren County, KY and got lost. I am not sure what happened to Thomas. Jonathan and Richard seemed to have stayed in the Madison County, KY area for a much longer time. I am from Nathaniel.
