Hi Richard,
My name is Judy West Helsel. I'm the gg grandniece of Fisher Curtice West of
Allen County, Indiana.
I have Fisher's obit info that was sent to me a few years back from the
Butler, Dekalb County Historical Society. I've tried, unsucessfully to find
any photographs of Fisher West or his property on any Genealogy website. I'm
hoping you might be able to assist me in my quest.
Fisher was the son of Joseph and Joanna Smith West of Butler, Dekalb County
Indiana. The Wests migrated to Dekalb County in 1842-'44 from Onondaga
County New York, most probably Syracuse. He married Columbia Wheeler in 1859
and outlived all of his children, dying in 1914. His home is located in
Hunterstown, Indiana, on West Rd. From my research, Fisher and family were
will noted in and around Noble, Dekalb, and Allen Counties from 1850 well
into the 1900's.
My line is of the Ira Allen West, brother of Fisher Curtice West. I've done
a tremendous amount of research on my West line from New York, Indiana,
Kansas, and Oklahoma. My line is located on
Ancestry.com, as is Terry Wynn,
a cousin who is in my line.
I would be happy to share what information I have with you concerning Fisher
Curtice West or any other West relatives I have. I understand that Johnny
Appleseed spent time at the Fisher West residence in Hunterstown.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Judy West Helsel
