Charlotte, My direct ancestor, Isaac West had at least three brothers named Solomon, John, and Alexander. Their father, John West, gave Solomon, John and Alexander 100 acres each in 1755 along Stoney and Toms Creek in Orange County, North Carolina. He also gave 100 acres to his two daughters in the name of their husbands. Isaac was too young to receive land in 1755. We think Isaac was born about 1745 so older brothers, Alexander, John and Solomon would have arrived on earth earlier. Alexander had three sons named Solomon, John and Alexander Jr. also. Does any of this fit your Alexander?
Charlotte West June 19 @ 5:14am
Norman, Thanks so much. That's good news for me. That's my family--Alexander West, John West, Jr./Margaret "Peggy" Witherspoon, John Balus West/Mary Ann Swanson, Alexander Balus West/Nancy Land, Thomas Harvey West/America McNeil, William Charles West, Sr./Ada Beatrice McQueen, and then my father, William Charles West, Jr. Your research is almost exactly like mine. I've found John West, Sr, who married Mary Madden giving land to Alexander and John, Jr. in Wilkes County, NC which was likely the same place but in Surry before Wilkes was created. I have believed for quite some time that my Alexander was the brother of Solomon, John Jr., and Isaac. All of these pieces fit together. My problem is finding a male West in my family to take the Y-DNA test. Our line of males is diminishing. My sister has a match with a man who descends from John West and his 2nd spouse, Eleanor Massey. My sister and I both match a male West who descends from a John West, b c1732 in Tryon, NC.

W218 was added to FG1 in September 2009. He descends from Isaac WEST, born about 1745 in Virginia or the Carolina's, and died in 1814/15 in Dickson County Tennessee. Isaac married first to Susannah ANDERSON, and second to Mary (unknown). This line uses the given name Solomon, and we think this may be the line of W15, whose oldest ancestor was Solomon WEST of South Carolina.

reposefarm MY great, great, great grandmother was Susan West born1803 died1891 in Marion, Al. Her mother Katherine/ Catherine West, Dau. of Isaac & Susanna married John Barnhill. She never used the Barnhill name. She married Joseph Washington Crenshaw; they moved to Marion, Al. She had one son John Washington Crenshaw.
If you have any information on this Susan I would love to have it. We have a picture of Susan. Thank you for any information. repose.farm@att.net
According to the Genealogy of Isaac West written in 1925 by Broadus B. West of Spartanburg, SC, Isaac had 9 brothers and sisters including a James West. They were the children of Isaac West Sr. and Mary Payne who migrated to SC from Princess Anne County Virginia prior to 1790. They lived in the Ninety Six District of Greenville County, SC. James West settled At Marietta, SC. His brothers and sisters were
Isaac West Jr. (my great great grandfather), Jacob, Jonathan, William, Thomas, Annie, Prudence, Susan and Mary West. If all of this looks like a match for you, let me know. I can try to send you a file from Family Tree Maker, or make copies of about 20 pages from the above mentioned book which would trace your James West back to the de la Warr family back to at least the 13th century.
