Hello TJ:
Thank you for your prompt replyto my inquiry re:Henry Claiborne West and John Thomas West.
None of the Hnery's seem to be the one I am looking for.I don't know fore sure where his allegiance was, but probably he served from KY or MO (although IL is also a possibility).I do know that John Thomas West was originally a Confederate soldier (most likely in a KY unot, although it could have been a NC unit - his wife's relatives lived there) who served time in a Yankee prison before becoming a "turncoat".
Thank you for your assistance.The National Archivist gave incorrect information to the researcher I had hired to look this up - and I've been reluctant to ask them for assistance again.
Hvae a great 2007.
Kindest regards,
Judy Hughes
