Descendants of James West





    Contributed by: Mary Frances (West) Powell



    
    
    Here are the children of James WEST and unknown wife/wives. James was born 
    presumably NC, ca 1728, died probably Robeson Co., NC after 1794. 
    James WEST, whom I reference as Progenitor, lived in Bladen, Duplin, Sampson 
    and Robeson Counties, NC from about 1763 to his death after 1794. 
    
    Age span of these WEST children is from roughly 1758-1770. I am not sure where 
    most of the marriages occurred, but the Progenitor, with his family, was in Duplin 
    by about 1770; prior to that time period he and family had lived in Bladen. 
    William, Willis, Margaret, Joel, Isham and Brittain lived in Bladen, Duplin and 
    Sampson Counties. I have no proof the others ever lived in Sampson. James 
    WEST, Jr. or James of Bladen is the only child of The Progenitor to have lived 
    out his days in Bladen. 
    
    I have listed the children in the same order as Brittain WEST listed them in his will.
