Hi ,and thanks a lot for responding. My Robert West was the son of Jonathan S West. Jonathan was the son of Charles Edward and the Grandson of John Charles . They were from England.I really need some info about Jonathan from before 1852.He married a Matilda in Preble Co. Ohio at that time.I know he had a first marriage as he had Robert by his first wife.That's why I am seeking info. on Robert ,to try and find Jonathan's first marriage.I believe he was the Jonathan that lived in Ohio in 1830--40 but can't confirm it. If you ever find any info. I would appreciate any and all help.If I find something to help you I will be glad to. Mary
