Along with the West came the Meacham, Lacy, Buckner, Brewer, Stroud, and many other families. Who all intermarried with one another. All these lines will take you to a common West with one of my ancestors. If your family can be found in the North eastern part of Christian Co., KY between 1800 & 1820 with one of these surnames, then one of your ancestors is Thomas West. Sr. of Chatham, Orange, Granville, Bute, & Edgecomb Counties NC.
