Hi Sharon,
I do not have the obits you seek,
but I was hoping you might have some information to help me with my West family.
Your Jonathan married in Wayne Co., IN 1823.
My brick wall is a
Thomas West born about 1793 (probably NC or SC)
He was in Wayne Co., Indiana by 1816, when he married Mary Benbow.
Mary's family was Quaker, and traveled from NC., settling in Wayne Co., IN.
Thomas died by 1834, but his children, (and his second wife, Nancy Gibson West Ogle,)
lived in Henry and Delaware Co. for many years.
My line is through Edward West, born about 1827,
so I believe he was the son of Thomas and Mary.
Edward married Sarah Collins in Henry Co., 1850.
Their children were: Thomas, Charles, John and Edward.
Do you have a connection to my West families?
Thank you for your time,
Cindy
