Does anyone on the list have a James West who married Elizabeth Peacock in
Burlington County, NJ, in about 1778? Have seen very little info on this
marriage and am not sure that it did occur, although I did find it on a DAR
application done in 1963.
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
Doris
What is this, were do I find it?
Thanks,
Vickie West Sorrell

Families are like fudge.
Mostly sweet with a few nuts.
Karen,
As Lisa knows, I've been meaning to go there for some time... and I'm
reasonably close.
I've been told there isn't a great deal to see, though..
Do be aware that it's not exactly the "ancestral home" or anything.
If I recall correctly, the family was renting the house and running
it as an inn when Benjamin was born.

Hi - thanks for the info! I am still gathereing info - but I must say I
have had the best luck with this list serve. Thanks for all the ideas on my
"Benjamin West" engraving...the seller did not respond and I decided to just
let it go. I'll preserve the document - scan it into the system for my
records. Its okay - I just felt somewhat deceived!

Well - I am quite unhappy. This is how it was presented on e-bay...what I got was a page taken from a book with the little picture inside. so much for this being an "original engraving; this is not a reproduction" Okay Wests out there, what would you have thought was being sold?

Does anyone on this list have a full copy of the painting of John West that
was done by Benjamin West. It is located in the Friends Historical Society,

The historical society does not have it online.

Barb,
Thanks for your effort, but that Alfred isn't mine. There was some type
of fatal railroad accident in Wrightsville....he had just moved there
with his family, wife Theresa (or Terressa) son Allison (Allisen),
Daughter Lizzie, Son Hugh, and another unknown child.....about a year
prior to his death.
He was a saw mill worker, and was 35 years old.....his family returned
to Pennsylvania, where I found his wife remarried about 10 years later.
Just trying to find an actual obituary for him.......Arkansa
Hey,
I did not buy it, don't know who did.

Vicki,
How about offering to sell it to someone on the list for what it cost you. I
am sure you will get an offer. From what I understand, a lot of people sell
pages from old books on ebay and other places. It doesn't take away from the
fact that it came from a 1860's book. Ask the seller for mor
My West's came from Ireland.

My focus is on the Whitlatch family. I posted my query to the West list
hoping that someone on that list would have info on Flora Whitlatch from
having researched her husband Charles. Of course, I'd like to have all of
their data including parents and children (and their descendants) plus dates
and places.
I was particularly interested in confirming her parents. I have in my
database a Flora Whitlatch (no spouse given) whose parents were George
Matthew Whitlatch and Rebecca Jane Duncan. But I need conf

Hi List...
I'm really hitting dead ends in my quest for information so I was hoping
that maybe someone here would have some familiarity with the people I
have begun looking at as potential links to my family.
On the 1830 Centre County Census, Lamar township Samuel West and Conrad
West are listed.
As I am unable to locate many other persons in the area, I am thinking
that one of them may be the father or grandfather of Hugh St. Clair West
born in 1826 in Boggs Township, Centre County PA.
If any of th

Missouri in 1880. Here are their direct descendants.

Hi,
For anyone interested in seeing the birthplace of Benjamin West, there is an
engraving currently listed on ebay. It is item # 3631159095. Sorry I can't
do links. This is like the postcards I have.

No only what I have. I wish I had more. We have been unable to go back any

Genealogy: Finding out that the nuts don't always
fall from someone else's family tree.
I have one bit of information concerning an Elizabeth West. The following
was printed in the Knoxville, TN Register newspaper on April 9, 1834. "A
list of letters remaining in the Post Office at Kingston, TN on the 1st of
April, 1834, which, if not taken out before the 1st day of July next, will
be sent to the General Post Office as dead letters . . . Elizabeth West or
Joseph Cloud."
The Kingston Post office was located in Roane County, TN.
