John Scott, a group member (yay) has a well sourced page on the descendants of Presley Ward Oliphant, for all y'all central TN folk: Tennessee Heritage If I'm not mistaken, Roddy says the TX Oliphints come from this line, and this line originates from the MD Oliphants. Roddy, correct me if I'm confused.

I am related by DNA to Thomas Oliphant West II (1718-1808) 8-3,476 cm  I realize that the surname is West but I figured the "Oliphant" is a family name. I know that William Nelson West is my 4th great-grandfather. I am trying to determine if Thomas Oliphant West II is his father. I am just wondering if any of you have ever come across this name in your research as related to your lines?

Thanks for starting this group, Richie. (I have trouble with the hyperlinks, too, btw.) I like your idea of starting the discussion groups by region. I look forward to connecting & sharing info with other Oliphant descendants.

I'm a tech dunce, but I'll try to build this group out with helpful links (tho so far, I can't get the hyperlinks above to work), and hopefully members will join and share in helping each other. So be patient, and help me if you can!
