Is this William West the father of Rev./Dr. Joshua Carver West, born 1771 Rocingham, VA, died 1-8-1860 in Montevallo, Shelby Co., Al? Joshua married Hannah Prentice (1775-1845). Joshua was licensed to preach 10-17-1792 by Rev Asbury, in VA. He became a licensed physician in 1812 in Sevier Co., TN.
Joshua is my gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather and his ancestry has been quite a challenge.
