SONS of AMERICAN REVOLUTION
- This SAR shows "Fielding Bradford West" and his wife “Maranda”
- The applicant is the great-grandson of Fielding B West.
- Sons of the American Revolution - application for membership
- Branch: The Illinois Society
- Application Date: 24 Oct 1936 in Chicago Illinois
- Applicant: Henry Stone Bottomley, age 46
- National Number: 54820
- State Number: 3525
- Descendant of: Leonard West (1760-1842)
- Notes:
- The only documentation provided was for the Revolutionary Service of Leonard West. There is no documentation for the applicant's parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents.
- The applicant shows his great-grandparents as:
- ... Fielding Bradford West, b. 8 Oct 1799, d. 14 Sep 1853
- ... and Maranda G McMurry, b. 21 Jun 1801, d. 25 Dec 1845, m. 22 Feb 1820
- The 1845 death of Mary "Maranda" is in conflict with census and her husband's death record. (maybe is it a typo for 1855, which would make more sence).
- This application is the only place were Mary is called Maranda.
- (maybe an assumed conclusion, based on the applicant's grandmother; Maranda Bottomley).
