Hi, I don't have specific details about your ancestors. But I can tell you that there were a lot of Wests in Walworth County. (I think Spring Prairie) At the WI Historical Society Area Research Center in Whitewater you can find a copy of the book "West-Barker-Hodges New York to Wisconsin" or something like that. (I'm not sure about the 2nd half of the title.) I'm sure that would give you a lot of information about your West connection. Good Luck!

I know Francis was born in Elkhorn in 1847, presume Mary later married a Mr. Jones whose name Francis took. I have had no luck finding anything on Francis's parents.... any help greatly appreciated! (Francis eventually married Agnes F. Merrick of Spring Prairie). > > > ==== WIWALWOR Mailing List ==== > Visit my other Wisconsin GenWeb sites - Green County, WI at http://www.rootsweb.com/~wigreen > or subscribe to mailing list at [email protected] or [email protected] > > ============================== > Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration > Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
