Abner WEST11,157,667 was born in 1774. He was born between 1780 and 1784 in York District, SC. He died before 1840 in Crawford Co., MO. Abner West was born about 1780-84 in S. Carolina. He married Sarah Laffoon, the daughter of William Laffoon and Suzana Bledsoe. Sarah was born about 1785-90 in Surry Co., N. Carolina.
Abner Sarah first appear in the Pendleton District of S. Carolina, in 1810. They were probably married about 1804. Two of their children were born in the Pendleton District. They were Ellen and Hardin. In 1814 or 1815 they moved to Hopkins Co., KY.
Abner's father-in-law, William Laffoon, was apparently quite wealthy and an influential man. He was appointed a magistrate for Greenville and Pendleton District, S. Carolina. The reason we have found it hard to place Abner with his own family is because he seemed to associate himself more with the Laffoons than with his own West family.
Abner and Sarah went with the Laffoon's to Kentucky where William Laffoon immediately began buying land. Abner did not buy land there until 1819. The rest of Abner and Sarah's children were born in Hopkins Co., KY. They grew up and began marrying about 1824.
William Laffoon died 11-29-1821, and named Sarah West as his daughter in his will that was probated in Feburary of 1822.
Abner and Sarah moved to Crawford Co., MO, in 1831-32. All of their children and their families moved with them except one. Apparently Abner was in ill health or having some kind of difficulties as he named his son, John West, his power-of-attorney to dispose of his property in KY. The land was sold in 1833.
Abner apparently died before 1840 in Crawford Co., MO. It is believed Sarah died between 1850-55 in Miller or Osage Co., MO.

Name: Harden WEST 1 2
Sex: M
Birth: 4 JUN 1809 in Pendleton District, South Carolina 1 2
Note:
[Knox-Laffoon.GED]
Hardin West was born in 1809 in the Pendleton District of S.Carolina. He was the oldest son of Abner West and Sarah Laffoon. Hewas 6yrs. old when his parents and maternal grandparents moved toHopkins County, Kentucky. Here Hardin grew to manhood.
Hardin's early life has caused a great deal of controversy among various West decendants. (Particurlarly the account of his marriages.)The history will reflect all the accounts and copies of the documents or other written information found on this subject.
When Hardin was twenty yrs. old he put up a bond with John Millhollin on the 29th day of April 1828, to secure a license to marry John Millhollin's daughter, Catharine Millhollin. The license was issued and the marriage took place and is signed and recorded in Caldwell County, Kentucky, by the clerk of that court. Further there were no other Hardin West's living in the entire area at the time. Just what happened to this Catharine Millhollin West is unknown. One story goes that she died in childbirth and that William West is actually her son.That Hardin immediatly remarried and they never told William that Catharine Millhollin West was his mother.
Hardin was then married to Katerine Williams, the daughter of George Williams and Elizabeth H. Foster. A record of their marriage has not been found in the courts of Kentucky, but they apparently were married there. Someone wrote in the family bible of David Alexander Bennett the Hardin married Katherine Wiliamas was April 9, 1826. However,that would make Hardin fifteen years old and seem a little unlikely. Perhaps there was a mistake in recording the date. It was probably entered after Katherine Williams West was deceased.
Hardin and Katherine moved to Craqford County, Missouri, with his parents in 1831-32. Ten children were born in Missouri, the older two were born in Kentucky. Hardin and Katherine's children began marrying around 1850. At that time they were located in the Jackson Township of Osage County, Missouri.
Three of Hardin's sons, Thomas, John, and Dickson married the daughters of Daniel Burd. They were living on a farm that joined their father's. The families of Thomas, John, and Dickson settled around Maires County, Missouri.
Katherine Williams West died in 1862 and Hardin married a widow named Mrs. Martha Barnhart. They had no children. She died in 1865. William West wrote of this marriage in his journal and referred to Martha as his step-mother.
In 1867, when Hardin was fifty-eight years old, he married Sarah Hicks. She was the daughter of Madison Hicks and Mary Easter. Sarah was about thirty-two years old being born in Tennessee about 1835. It has been said that she was part Cherokee Indian, but no proof of this has been discovered yet.
Hardin and Sarah had three children born in Osage County, Missouri.They were General Robert E Lee, Doctor Benjamin Franklin and Marion Frances. Sometine in 1875-76 Hardin moved his family to Tarrant ounty, Texas, and settled near Grapevine. Why he moved in his later years is unknown. Perhaps there was other family living there at the time. The last of Hardin and Sarah's children was born at this location. Her name was Lucy Ellen.
Hardin West died in 1881 and is burried in the Old Easter Cemetery near Grapevine, Texas. Sarah raised her children alone after Hardin's death. Sometime in the mid 1890's she moved to the Indian Territory now called the state of Oklahoma. Three of her children made their homes in Oklahoma. Doctor Benjamin Franklin West returned to Tarrant County, Texas and began raising his family in and around the area of Fort Worth.
Sarah Hicks West died in 1918 near Ada, Oklahoma. She lived with her daughter, Lucy Ellen Brumley, at the time. She is burried in the Oakman Cemetery.
