One with James F. West b.1852 d. 1926 and the other with The Wife of James F. West Lucy Norton b.1877 d.1955 on it. I have found out that James was the Sheriff in Estill Co. 1893, 1894 and 1895. This is all I can find out about him. Does anyone on this list have any info about him. Who his parents where or anything. I would greatly appreciate anything. I also have a pic of James taken circa. 1890.

Vicki, This is some great info. I am trying to find how these West are connected to my West's in Estill Co.. I can't find any connection. None of the names of J.F.'s parents or siblings are in my Family Info that I have on my Family. I am still trying to remember what my Mom had told me years ago. It is a shame that when we are young, our elders - parents, grandparents ect.. tells us things that would be great for Family Gen and History, but we don't care or more than likely don't even listen as kids. I would give anything to have notes or tapes of everytime someone in my Family told me about Family History. All of the older ones in my Family that knew anything has passed away. It sucks. I think all the time "If Only", but it is to late now. Anyway, Thanks for the info. I am going to keep trying to figure this out. I feel like they are connected by my Mom kind of going out of the way to go to this grave and talking to me about it. She hardly ever talked about family. So I just know there is a connection somewhere.
