My 4th great-grandfather is William Nelson West (1775 NC-1846 MS) through his daughter, Chastity. Willam Nelson West is the "brick wall" in this line. My DNA results show William Nelson West as sharing 8-3,476 cm. I am also shown to have the same value with Thomas Oliphant West II so I am trying to determine if Thomas is a sibling to William or a possible parent. Have any of you run across any of these names in your family line of research?
In addition to being related to Charity West and therefore her father William Nelson West, I am also related to a Constant West and her father Robert West (Maryland). Does anyone have either of these in your family tree or know whether the two lines are related?
I am making progress My Great Great Grandfather Phineas West in Fayette County PA. My research and data directed me to a book (and website) The Wests of Duck Creek Harrison County West Virginia by William F Donnelly. Identification of the person you belong to is good and these families had multiple children spreading throughout USA. I purchased the book from a nearby Genealogy Society in WV., I have ancestors a part of WV statehood.
