Hello:

My Great Grandfather, John Wesley WEST (b. 1835 Ohio and d. Ringwood, Ok 1908)
was in Oklahoma, Ringwood, Woods County, before 1881. He and his wife,
Margaret (GRIFFITH) WEST (b. 1841 Ohio and died Ringwood, Ok 1881), had moved
from Missouri with their children:

Alfred Llewellyn b, 1869 MO; (m. Cornelia GORDON)

Elgar Bramwell b. 1866 Ohio (married to Ada ATTERBERRY and the children born
in OK were: Elmer 1902, Margaret b. 1904, Edgar b. 1906, and Lawrence b.
1908, older children were John, Jesse, Earnest);

Clarence Herbert b. abt 1871 in MO; (married Rachel Olive BURKE)

Walter Sylvanus b. 1867 MO (wife: Louella HEATH and child born in OK was Flora
b. 1902, older children were Leroy, Alfred, Lora Ethel )

Ellen Almeda b.1864 Ohio (m. Thomas HELM)

Also moving to OK were at least two of of John Wesley's brothers and families:

Elisha WEST b. 1845 Ohio, d. 1898 in Redland, OK (m. Molly LUCAS)

Amos J. WEST b. 1849 Ohio arrived OK after 1881 with son Nathan WEST who
lived and married in OK (Note: 2nd wife of Amos J. was Mary Lou Ellen CRANE d.
1897 in Redland, OK)

Any family connections or information about these families will be much
appreciated.
