Bradley, Sorry, I am still looking for my ancestors. I am trying to find out more information about the White and Mulatto West from Westbrook Township, Blackmans Mill . My ancestors lived in that township in Sampson County. There was a community or area called "THE PINEY" . My gr grandparents Silas WEST b. 1832, he married Winifred "Winnie Barefoot b. 1845, dau. of Clarky Barefoot, father UNK, gr daughter of Noah Barefoot. I have lots of information on her family. But the Silas West Parentage is unknown. Silas and Winnie were both considered Mulatto. So I was just wondering if there were any books written about the origin and migration of the WEST. I have looked at the 1850, 1850 census, but nothing tells me who Silas West's parents were. Any help would be appreciated or where to I look next. Alice West Ferguson
