Wilson’s
Childhood and Background Information
Wilson J. West is my paternal grandmother’s
paternal grandfather – my great-great-grandfather. He was born sometime in May
1827 or 1828. His middle name may have been Jackson, but I have not found any
source information with that name. I have found information stating his birth
in May 1827 as well as May 12, 1828. He was probably born in Nelson County,
Virginia to Nicholas B. West and Harriett Jopling. In 1830, Nicholas and
Harriett were living in Nelson County, Virginia and had a male in their
household in Wilson’s age range. Similarly, in 1840 a male of Wilson’s age was
living on a farm with Nicholas and Harriett in Nelson County along with several
other children of the correct age ranges as Wilson’s siblings. In 1840, there were 6 children in the family and an older
female that I haven’t been able to identify. There were also 6 slaves on the
farm.
A lot of the information I have about Wilson
West was provided by a family history narrative on the West family by Shelby Cochran.
This narrative was provided to me by Waverly Payne, who had received it from
Shelby and mailed it to me. Most of the information in the narrative is from
family sources such as descendants of Wilson living in Patrick County,
Virginia. Some information, such as land records, reference county records
(e.g., deed books) in Patrick County. I have attempted to contact Shelby since
receiving the narrative without success, and the last I heard from Waverly about
ten years ago was that Shelby was having health issues.
Wilson’s First Marriage, to Polly Martin
Wilson J. West married his first
wife, Mary "Polly" Martin, on December 20, 1849 in Albemarle County,
VA. On August 6, 1850, they were living in Nelson County, VA. Wilson was 23
years old and worked as a miller. Polly was 23 years old and had no occupation.
The couple had no real estate of any value.
Polly was born about 1827 in
Virginia. She died sometime before 1857. When her husband Wilson remarried in
1857, he was listed as widowed. They may have had one child, a daughter Mary,
born around 1852. In 1860, a Mary West, 8 years old, was living with Nicholas
B. West and Harriett Jopling West in Patrick County, Virginia. Judith, wife of
Nicholas B., was probably too old to have a child. James G. West, age 23, was
single and living with his parents. This was the only information I’ve been
able to find about Mary. If she was Wilson’s daughter from his first marriage,
she was living with her grandparents and not with Wilson and his second wife at
that time.
Wilson’s Second Marriage, to Elizabeth
Cochran
Wilson was living in Patrick
County, VA in 1857. According to Patrick County court records, Wilson and his
father, Nicholas B. probably both moved to Patrick county around 1857. His first
wife Polly had died before this, and Wilson married his second wife, Elizabeth Cochran
(Cochram) on October 15, 1857 in Patrick County.
They were living in Round Meadow in the North Division, Patrick County, Virginia on June 23, 1860 along with their daughter, Harriet West. Wilson was 33 years old and a farmer, with a personal estate worth $75. Elisabeth [sic] was 22 years old. Their daughter, Harriett, was one month old and born in Virginia.
After the war was over, Wilson
returned to his second wife, Elizabeth, in Patrick County, Virginia. Elizabeth
was born sometime around 1837-1840 in Patrick County, Virginia to Spencer and
Nancy Boyd Cochran. She and Wilson had five children. She died on January 17,
1868 at the age of 28 in Patrick County, VA. She was buried at Meadows of Dan
Baptist Church cemetery in Patrick County, VA.
Wilson J. West and Elizabeth
Cochran (Cochram) had the following children:
Harriet West was born around May
1860 in Patrick County, VA.
Andrew Eldridge West, born June
14, 1860, Patrick County, VA; married Exonie Elizabeth Akers, December 25,
1884, Patrick County, VA; married Ada B. Wood, May 11, 1919, Patrick County,
VA; died August 14, 1953, Stuart, Patrick County, VA. (Note: Andrew was
probably born sometime in 1861. This is one of several discrepancies with the
birth dates of Wilson West’s children.)
Spencer Wilson "Will"
West, born May 10, 1862, Patrick County, VA; married Ruth E. Hylton, April 7,
1892, Patrick County, VA; died February 27, 1955, Danbury, Stokes County, North
Carolina.
Nancy Jane E. West, born May 6,
1866, Patrick County, VA; married George William Dalton, January 9, 1883,
Patrick County, VA.
Sarah Ann West, born December 27,
1868, Patrick County, VA; married Charles Reid Knowles, February 1, 1883,
Patrick County, VA; died December 7, 1908, Patrick County, VA. (Note: Sarah’s
birth date is after the death date of her mother Elizabeth, yet Sarah is listed
as one of Elizabeth’s children on her grave marker. My guess is that either
Sarah’s birth date is incorrect – she was born in 1867 – or she was really the
child of Wilson’s third wife, Susan A. Massey, and was born early – about seven
months after they were married.)
Wilson’s Service in the Civil War
Wilson served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War from 1862 to 1865. He enlisted prior to 28 April 1862 in Co. K of the 50th VA Regiment, CSA, as a Private, and was captured by Sheridan at Waynesboro on 2 March 1865 and sent to Pt. Lookout, MD from Harper's Ferry, WV. He was then transferred to Ft. Delaware, DE, where he was released on 22 June 1865 after signing an Oath of Allegiance. He was described upon his release as dark-complexioned, with dark hair, dark eyes and six feet tall.
According to Shelby Cochran's narrative, Wilson was in the same infantry and company as his brother, James G. West. He enlisted on his way to the unit in the field on May 2, 1862 and was twice wounded in action in 1864. Union prisoner of war records show W.J. West, private, captured at Waynesboro, Virginia on March 2, 1965. He was subsequently held at Harper's Ferry and at Fort Delaware where he was released June 22, 1965.
Retta West Cochran, a granddaughter of Wilson, told of a family tradition that men came while Wilson was outside working to take him to join the Confederate Army. He left a whet rock on a tree stump which the family later found. When she was in her nineties, Retta still had the whet rock. She gave it to her oldest son, Melvin Cochran, who survived World War II, and served in the U.S. Navy over thirty years.
A portion of a letter written by Powell Benton Reynolds to his mother gave a good report of what Wilson and other members of Company K of the 50th Virginia Regiment, known as "The Patrick Boys", experienced on their march to and from Gettysburg. "I would like to be able to give you all a full account of our Pennsylvania Campaign, but it would require too much time and room for this place. I must content myself with a brief sketch now and defer giving the details until I get home or get more leisure. You have heard before this time of the part we took in the Battle of Winchester. We moved directly forward by way of Charlestown, to the Potomac, which we crossed at Shepherdstown, ten miles above Harper's Ferry. We stayed several days near Sharpsburg in Maryland, lying in line of battle three or four days and nights. We could plainly see the "Stars and Stripes" floating over the enemy's works in Maryland Heights some ten miles distance. We went across Maryland by way of Hagerstown and entered Pennsylvania at Middleburg. We took the road for Harrisburg, passing through Greencastle, Chambersburg, Shippensburg and numerous other small towns. We proceeded as far as Carlisle, supposing all the while that we were going to attack Harrisburg, where we learned that the militias were assembling. But we about faced at Carlisle, and shortly took the road for Gettysburg, crossing the Blue Ridge. We met up with the enemy at the town of Gettysburg, and fought the greatest battle of the war, the particulars of which you have heard before now. I will just remark here that it is given up by good Judges that such cannonading has never taken place before in the world. We retired from before the enemy's works on the night of the third of July and spent the fourth lying in an open field exposed to the rain, about two miles from the town. During the night of the fourth, we again commenced falling back, and continued our retreat through rain and mud until we arrived at Hagerstown. We there took a position and fortified it strongly to keep the enemy in check until the Potomac got fordable. We recrossed the river ten miles above Shepherdstown, at Williamsport, Maryland on the morning of the 12th of July. We had it to wade, it taking us up to the armpits. We came back to Winchester by the way of Martinsburg. We came on to Front Royal aiming, as I suppose, to recross the Blue Ridge at Manassas Gap the way we went into the valley, but we found the Yankees there. So we went some 25 miles further up the Shenandoah and crossed near Luray. We then came by way of Madison Court House to this place." This was written at a camp near Orange Court House on August 7, just one day before Wilson’s brother, James G. West, was killed in action.

Wilson’s Third Marriage, to Susan
Ann Massey
 |
| Susan Ann Massey, date unknown, provided by Shelby Cochran |
Wilson then married his third
wife, Susan Ann Massey, my great-great-grandmother, on May 7, 1868 in Patrick
County, Virginia. Wilson was widowed at the time of this marriage, as he was
when he married Elizabeth Cochran.
They were living in Patrick
County, Virginia in October 1870 along with Wilson’s parents, Nicholas B. West
and Judith H. Martin, sons Andrew Eldridge West and Charles William West, and daughter
Nancy Jane E. West. Wilson was 43 and a farm worker, and Susan was 35 and keeping
house. Wilson’s father Nicholas B. West was 73 and a farm worker, and his mother
Judith was 55 and keeping house. Son Andrew E. was 9 years old and born in
Virginia; son Charles W. was 1 year old and born in Virginia; and daughter
Nancy E. J. was 5 and born in Virginia. Another person listed was James L. W. West,
who was 8 and born in Virginia. I’m not sure if James was related to Wilson. First,
James L. W. is not listed as one of Wilson's children in any other census. Wilson
had a son named Spencer William "Will" West who is not listed in this
census, but who was the same age as James, 8 years old. It may be the case that
James was indeed Will, and it was an error in the census. Also, Wilson's
daughter Sarah Ann West is not mentioned in this census, although there is a “Villka
West” living on a neighbor’s farm at this time who is the same age – about two
years old.
Wilson bought land in Patrick County in 1871. A deed of homestead was recorded by "the said Wilson J. West a householder and head of a family in the county and state aforesaid intending to avail himself of the full benefit of a homestead, exempt from levy, seizure, garnishing or sale.... and doth declare the following to be a true description of the whole of his real and personal property held by him at this time or in which he has any interest, to wit: An interest to the amount of $500 in a tract of land on the meadows of Dan, which was purchased of James S. Langhorne by James G. West, who afterwards died, and said land fell to Nicholas B. West, his father, who sold the same to Charles F. Goff and myself. The personal property listed was "one bond Taylor Massey, dated September 27, 1869 for $15, subject to a credit of $5, one bay mare 4 years old, 1 black cow, 1 red and white sided cow, 1 heifer mostly white, 2 calves of last summer, 1 red and white and the other smutty with some white, 1 last winter's calf red and white, 11 head of sheep (old) and three lambs, 13 head of hogs, 1 sow 6 years old, last winter bred 6 are now pigs. Household and kitchen furnishings, covering of 4 beds, steads and furniture, 1 bureau, 1 clock, 2 trunks, 1 cupboard, 4 chairs, 2 pots, 1 oven, 2 skillets, tongues and shovel and other small articles on the way of household and kitchen furniture, 300 pounds of bacon, 5 bushels corn, 2 1/2 bushels of buckwheat, 2 1/2 bushels of rye, lot of hay and oats, plantation tools, mowing scythe, 10 chickens, 2 guineas, 3 turkeys." Wilson signed his name. The homestead deed was like a bankruptcy filed today to protect property. There were several homestead deeds recorded in Patrick County deed books about this same time.
Wilson was named in a chancery suit in 1872 in Patrick County, VA. The suit was between James S. Langhorne and Wilson J. West and Charles Goff over the title to the 200 acres on Dan River. West and Goff presented a title bond executed by said James S. Langhorne to James G. West dated March 13, 1860. A special warranty deed was given by B. J. Campbell, Special Commissioner.
He bought land for $77 along the Dan River in Patrick County, VA in 1877. Charles Gauf (Goff) and Mary, his wife, of Floyd County granted their right of title and interest to Wilson J. West in a certain tract of land lying on Dan River. It was described as the same land deeded to Gauf and West on October 11, 1872 by Ben Campbell, Special Commissioner.

Wilson and Susan were living in Patrick
County, Virginia in 1880 along with Alaminta R. "Minta" West, Charles
William West, Elijah P. West, Martha C. West, Mary Jane S. West, Nancy Jane E.
West, Spencer Wilson "Will" West, and Andrew Eldridge West. Wilson was
53, the head of household and a farmer. His wife, Susan A. was 44 and keeping
house. Wilson’s son Andrew E. was 20 and worked on the farm. His son Spencer W.
was 18 and also worked on the farm). His daughter Nancy J. E. was 14 and keeping
house. His and Susan’s son Charles W. was 12 and worked on the farm. Their son Elijah
P. was 9 and worked on the farm. Their daughter Mary S. was 7 and at home.
Their daughter Martha C. was 3 and at home. Their daughter Alaminta R. was 1
and at home).
On June 7, 1900 Wilson and Susan were
living in Smith River Township, Patrick County, Virginia along with their son John
Beamer "J. B." West. Wilson was 73 years old. Susan was 64, and their
son, John B., was 18. Wilson owned his own farm, and he and Susan had been
married for 32 years.
Wilson applied for a Civil War general disability pension for Confederate veterans on June 29, 1900 in Patrick County, VA. Wilson stated that he had served in Captain J. T. Lawson's Company K of the 50th Virginia Regiment Infantry, and he was not able to do no more than one-fourth day’s work at the time due to disability. Wilson received the pension for about two years before he passed away.
Wilson died on April 2, 1904 at the age of 76 in Virginia. Shelby Cochran had Wilson's death date as a couple of days later on April 4, 1904. He was buried at Meadows of Dan Baptist Church cemetery in Meadows of Dan, Patrick County, VA. This cemetery is located at the junction of Highway #58 and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The names of the children in the above picture are unknown, although the youngest sitting on Susan's lap or the child sitting on Wilson's lap may be John B. West, my great-grandfather.

More Information About Susan Ann
Massey
Susan Ann Massey was born in July 1835 to James Addison Massey and Susan Jane Martin in Virginia. On June 1, 1840 she was living in Patrick County, Virginia in the household of James A. Massey along with her mother Susan Jane Martin, brother James W. Massey, sister Mary B. Massey, and sister Sarah Massey. They had a small farm with only her father, James, working the farm.
By August 17, 1850 the family had grown. She was living with her parents in Patrick County, Virginia and sisters Mary, Nancy, Sarah and Temperance, and brothers Crawford, James and John. Her father, James A. Massey, was 39 years old and a farmer. Her mother, Susan J. Massey, was 40 years old. Susan Ann was 14 years old.
Susan was 24 years old and still living with her family on June 23, 1860 in Round Meadow, Patrick County, VA along with brothers James W., Taylor (previously called “Crawford”), John T., and Elkana, a new addition to the family, and sisters Sarah, Nancy, Tempa, and Ruth. Her father, James, was a farmer and had a personal estate worth $120. Her mother, Susan, had passed away in May 1858 and James had not remarried.
After her husband, Wilson J. West died, Susan was living alone in 1910 in Cherry Creek, Patrick County, VA. She was 74, widowed, and had 7 children with 6 still living. Her farm was near the farm owned by her son, John B. West. Shelby Cochran thinks Susan was living at the old home place in Cherry Creek.
Susan applied for a Confederate widow's pension in 1918. She stated she was 82 and her husband was a pensioner at the time of his death. She lived with her son, C.W. West, in Meadows of Dan, Virginia and depended on her children for support. Physician R.S. Martin stated that Wilson J. West died from a strain related hernia and Susan said the cause of her husband's death was a rupture. J.E. Rangeley, commander of J.E.B. Stuart Camp of the Confederate Veterans of Patrick County said he believed the application should be approved. J.W. Staples and J.F. Reynolds gave oath that they knew the applicant to have a reputation for truth and honesty. Susan received a $50 pension on June 12, 1918.
By January 1920, Susan was still living with her son Charles William West and his wife Cora Dell Hylton and their family in Smith River District, Patrick County, Virginia. Susan was 84 at the time and widowed.
Susan died on September 5, 1927 at the age of 92 in Patrick County, VA. She was buried with her husband Wilson at Meadows of Dan Baptist Church cemetery in Meadows of Dan, Patrick County, VA.
Some notes from Shelby Cochran about the West family. James A. Massey, Susan Ann Massey, James G. West and Charles Gough [Goff] were members of Meadows of Dan Baptist Church shortly after it formed from Concord Meeting House in 1855. Susan was still a member in 1905, and probably remained a member until her death in 1927. Retta West Cochran, granddaughter, told of walking to church with her. Her grandmother would take off her old shoes and hide them in the weeds and put on her better ones before she arrived at church. Retta also believed Wilson and Susan were first buried near their home on Cherry Creek, then moved later to Meadows of Dan.
