Hi folks, I'm still searching for relatives from the early from 1700-1850.....I was just advised today by a member of the family that we may, in fact, be related to Benjamin West. I didn't realize this and have been seeing tidbits about him posted here and there throughout the mailing list..and wondered if anyone would be willing to fill me in on details of Benjamin West. Sorry to be a day late on this one, and to bother all of you folks, but I really would appreciate it. Thanks very much. Dawn West
