> Hi, I am seeking further information on my ancestor Robert West, born Sept
27, 1775 in Fairfax, Virginia, moved to Ohio to Clermont and Clinton
Counties. Married to Henrietta Fairfax, born abt. 1795 in Virginia.
>
> I am seeking help on his ancestors beyond what I have learned-- that his
father was Thomas West and mother Sarah Trammel. I have to offer what I
have gathered on his descendants and also photos of his headstone at Lees
Creek, Ohio.
>
> There is much on the Internet on his connections to the De La Warr's,
which I have not yet verified and am ready to begin the research. If anyone
has a good source in Virginia for me to write to start this process, I would
appreciate help.
