Family lore and the 1810 census record indicate that John’s wife, Margaret “Peggy” Witherspoon, and their three young children returned to Wilkes, North Carolina, after John’s death in South Carolina. The couple had moved from Wilkes, North Carolina, to South Carolina sometime after their marriage in 1796. According to census records, the three children were born in South Carolina. John Balus West was born about 1798, Melinda about 1799, and another daughter after 1798.
Recently, I learned about Melinda’s legacy from my cousin, Joanne, who discovered it through her research. Although Melinda never lived to see the accomplishments of her descendants, several of them became prosperous and well-known.
My paper trail revealed that Melinda and Israel married in Wilkes County, North Carolina, on December 12, 1819. In 1820 they appeared in the census for Wilkes, North Carolina. By the 1850 census, they were living in Brazeau, Perry, Missouri; in 1870 they were in Union, Bollinger, Missouri; and in 1880 they resided in White Water, Bollinger, Missouri. Their five children, Stephen Joseph, Eveline, Isaac, Solomon, and Carolina, were born between the years of 1828 and 1843, one in North Carolina, one in Kentucky, one in Illinois, and two in Missouri. The lives of Melinda and Israel certainly were typical of those who moved westward to find a better life in the first half of the 1800s.
Surprisingly, the lineage from Melinda and Israel’s son, Stephen Joseph Presnell, and his daughter Susan Frances Presnell led to the Limbaugh family The following list represents the direct-line descendants from Alexander West I to the Limbaugh family.
· Alexander West I (between 1720-1730 - after 1790) and unknown spouse
· John West (1760-about 1800) and Margaret “Peggy” Witherspoon (1760-after 1840)
· Melinda West (about 1799-after 1800) and Israel Presnell (about 1795-1884)
· Stephen Joseph Presnell (1828-1881) and Elizabeth Hudson (1826-1904)
· Susan Frances Presnell (1852-1938) and Joseph Hadley Limbaugh (1844-1898)
· Rush Hudson Limbaugh, Sr. (1891-1996) and Beulah Maude Seabough (1891-1977)
· Rush Hudson Limbaugh, Jr. (1918-1990) and Mildred Carolyn Armstrong (1925-2000)
· Rush Hudson Limbaugh, III
