Since there seems to be new researchers to the list, I thought maybe it might help to repost my information on my WEST family. I am at a dead end with my James West, and hope that there might be a new researcher to link up with.

James West, born 1798 in SC, son of Jacob West (according to research obtained by grandson, Orby West) . James West married unknown first wife and had five unknown children. James moved to GA, AL and TN and died in Lafayette County, MS in 1862? James married second wife, Jincey (Sarah Jane) Tucker, and had five children. Sarah was married previously to Joel TUCKER 25 Aug 1833 in Stewart County, GA, and Sarah Jane and Joel had five children of their own.

1850 Itawamba MS list my James West, with wife Jane. The children listed are Tuckers by Jane's first marriage. They are:
Frances F 16 GA
Nancy F 14 AL
Uriah M 12 AL
Martha F 10 AL
Sarah E. F 8 AL
(None of the female Tucker children married, and Uriah was killed in the Civil War)

James and Jane had five children. Mary b. abt. 1848, James May 6, 1850, Catherine b. abt. 1852, Marion b. abt 1854, George W. b. May 4, 1856.

I would like to find anyone with info and to who the five children were by James and his first (unknown name) wife.

Any help would be appreciated,

Best Regards,
Mary
