Charlotte,
Do you have any information on a Charles WEST and wife Hannah COOPER? Their
daughter Mary (1769-1819) md. John STARR in 1785 Philadelphia. Their son Charles
West STARR (1793-1855) arrived in Richmond, Wayne Co., IN on New Year's day 1819
(according to Biographical and Genealogical History of Wayne, Fayette, Union and
Franklin Counties, Indiana vol. II 1899 p. 34). He settled in Richmond a few
years later. I've found very little on the WEST and COOPER families. Charles
West STARR and his wife Elizabeth WILSON did name two of their sons William Cooper
STARR and Joseph West STARR (my 2G grandfather). The book mentioned above also
states that Mary WEST was a cousin of the painter Benjamin WEST.
