This from 1860. I have no index for 1870.
1860 Randolph County, Indiana Greens Fork township page 786
Post office: Spartansburg July 12
Walker, Andrew age 73 Farmer born Virginia
Walker, James age 37 born Virginia
West, James age 49 born Virginia Farmer
West, John age 25 born Ohio
West, James J. age 20 born Ohio
West, Louisa age 15 born Ohio
West, Martin A. age 13 born Ohio
Now, the odd thing is, the West children are enumerated in 1850 with Andrew
Walker but it looks as if their name was Walker. And no James West listed
in 1850, but there is a Jane age 37. I don't know what to make of this.
Could Jane have been the mother, she was a widow in 1850, remarried to James
West and the children started using the West name?
