In reveiwing the data below, I have discovered a discrepency.

Under Children of Phillip West and Elizabeth

SCARBURGH WEST: He could not have been born in 1800, died before March
14, 1805 and have been married. As written in Nottinghams book, He is
listed as the son of Phillip Parker West, SR., in the will of September
12, 1793 so he was born before then. It also says that his wife's name
was Comfort Copes, daughter of Southy Copes, so we know that he was
married before September 12, 1793.

Does anyone have any additional information on this family?
