When it comes to family backgrounds, my inquiries stopped when my dad told me my ancestors were horse thieves from Missouri. Since I stopped the historical tour at that point, I don't know if that is the reason for my surname.
The "West" was indeed wild Ray! Especially Missouri! A haven for men that rebelled from the outcome of the Civil War and other "occupations".
We, at least I, don't hold him accountable for his occupation. It was life back then. Have we become more civilized in 2020? I don't think so!
Great story Ray!!
