We’ll be tracing this family and its origins centering on Samuel WEST, born circa 1773 in
Virginia. Do we know who Samuel’s father *actually* was? Has it truly been proven?
In 1796 Samuel WEST wed Lydia WHITE in Clark County, Kentucky. The family has been found
in Clark, Madison and Estill County, Kentucky. Samuel and Lydia had a large family and ca.
1832-35 they left Kentucky with some of their offspring and settled in Montgomery County,
Indiana. Some children remained in the Estill County, Kentucky area. Some went to Boone,
Hendricks, and Putnam County, Indiana, and some later migrated to Iowa, Texas, California
and Missouri, among other places. As years went by descendants of this WEST family are now
found all over the globe!
Please join us as we work together to unravel the mysteries, relate family legends,
stories, and share our knowledge, data and photographs while meeting new WEST family
cousins!
