Peter West's
Children
Peter had four children this post is devoted to the story of his son, James Peter West and his children.
James Peter born 1 Aug 1812 to 1815 in Granville County, North Carolina.
On 19 Dec 1836 he married Nancy Currin.(9 May 1817 - 10 May 1896)
By the 1870 Census James and his family had traveled through the Cumberland Gap to Butler, Kentucky. He would have made this trip with wagons pulled by oxen. It would not have been an easy trip but the opportunity for land was too tempting.
The family settled in Butler Kentucky shown here on the map of Kentucky.
