Hi Marty, Yes - here was the email that I posted: Would love to, but as I understand it..you must have a male West alive in your family to verify this...correct? The last known West in my immediate family was Thomas and Sarah West's son, Thomas W. West who lived in CA. He died on 12/28/1951. His daughter Sylvia was born in 1914 - and I have no info on her or her family. However, I do have a picture taken of her in CA - I believe in the 20's - she was very pretty. Now, Jeffrey West and Olinda Smith (Thomas Conley's parents) had at least six boys. Many of the children married - but I don't have any info on their families. Warren West - born 1846 in TN - Isaac Polk West - born 1854 Albien West - born 1856 Appollyon (Pole) West born 1850. He was married to Ruminy Kreis and had at least one son, Appollyon McCoy West. Appollyon Jr married an Agnes Melvina Smith and had three children, Agnes Gertrude, Houston McCoy (b. abt 1923) and James Arthur (b. at. 1924) John T. West - no info Mary West - no info Thomas Conley West was my g-grandfather. He was born in December 1860 or 61 - I believe its the later. He was born in TN and died in Redondo Beach on 25 Oct 1927. If there are any living West males from this side of the family - It would be great to trace the lineage. Take care and thanks!
