Subject: [NCNEWHAN] S.M. West marriage and family information
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2007 11:53:08 -0800 (PST)


In an effort to obtain information on S.M. WEST, I am sending the below data in hopes someone will make a connection and help me fill in the blanks. I wish to know about Shadrack's (S.M.) 2nd marriage (to whom was he married 2nd time?), his date of death and his Civil War service.

Thanks.

23 March 1838 Marriage Contracts of New Hanover County Citizens 1728-1855 p39:
S.M. WEST and Mercy O. FISH daughter of Lyman FISH of Philadelphia, on the 12th in Philadelphia, to S.M. WEST of Wilmington. W.A. 23 March 1838.


On November 16, 1905, two years after his return to Wilmington from Baltimore, Dr. Green married Miss Emma Perrin West, thus uniting another old Cape Fear family with the Greens, Iredells, Harrisses and Meares. Mrs. Green is the daughter of Henry P. West, wholesale merchant. Her grandfather was **S.M. West, also a native of Wilmington and Civil War veteran and the son of **James
West. Her grandmother was Emma (Perrin) West, daughter of Henry R. and Elizabeth (Jennings) Perrin. Mrs. Green's mother was Rebecca (Love) West, daughter of John D. and Mary Orme (Nutt) Love; the former the son of William James and Marie Teresa Love; the latter, the daughter of J. D. and Rebecca Vance (Dickinson) Nutt. The Wests and the Loves have been residents of this
part of North Carolina since pre-Revolutionary times and largely have been engaged in business or farming in preference to the professions. John D. Love, maternal grandfather of Mrs. Green, was a planter and farmer and a large section of the northeast part of Wilmington once was a portion of the John D. Love plantation.
Two children have been born of the marriage of Dr. and Mrs. Green. They are Emma West Green and Mary West Green, both at home.


Descended from Samuel WEST born NC before 1755.
