Subject: [WEST-L] My West family
Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 12:45:12 -0800
My father was Claude Earl West, b. 1895 in West Union, Adams Co., Ohio.
His father, James Pointer West, was b. 1869 in West Union also.
His father, George Henry West was b, 1847 in Bracken Co., Kentucky
Georges parents, Lemuel/Samuel West and Nancy Story were married in
Bracken Co., Oct. 15, 1846.
George Henry West was a soldier during the Civil War, and when making
application for a pension in 1899 said that his elder son, William W. West
who lived in Montgomery Co., Ohio at the time, had possession of the family
Bible that had his family history recorded in it. George and his wife,
Abigail Pointer, were separated at the time and he did not have access to
this document.
There were many West families in Ohio and Kentucky and I have not been able
to make the link from Lemuel (or Samuel) West to any of them. I would like
very much to find the Bible in question. And any help at all in tracing
this family would be greatly appreciated.
