Westfall / Belt of Moundville

The George Westfall family bought the Wray property southeast of Moundville in 1884. The family included George's wife, Lee, their small children, her mother, Mrs. Josephine Belt and two nieces. The W estfall home burned in late 1884 and Mrs. Belt perished in the blaze.

Nate Maas descends from this line and wrote:

Lee married George W. Westfall, 6 Oct 1881 in Henry County. This is the family that had the house fire. George was the son of John D. Westfall and Minerva Green. The Westfalls were from western Virgin ia (now West Virginia). The Westfalls had moved to Iowa and after the Civil War to Henry County. John Westfall was a Union veteran. John suffered from complications of illnesses he contracted during t he war. A doctor from Henry County recommended he go camping out West for his health. He accidentally shot himself in Wyoming Territory in 1877 while on this camping trip.

George was living with his mother in Clinton, Henry Co., when he met Lee Belt. His other siblings had moved away at this time. I believe George and Lee's first daughter was born in Montrose, Henry Co. , in 1882, so everything fits about their move to Vernon in 1884. George was a bookkeeper by occupation. They moved to Kansas City, Missouri, by 1889. Perhaps they left for the city after the house fi re.

Nate continued:

I found a marriage record for Charles A. Belt to Josephine Taylor, 31 Oct 1850 in Shelby County, Kentucky. This Josephine was the woman who died in the house fire in 1884. By 1860, Charles and Josephi ne were in Henry County, Missouri. They had at least 5 children. The first three were born in Kentucky, the last two in Missouri. The third child was born in 1856 and the fourth child was born in 1859 , so we can assume that they removed to Missouri between these dates. Josephine Taylor Belt is buried in Stones Chapel Cemetery in Henry County. I have a death date for her of 19 Dec 1884.

George died in 1911 and Lee passed away in 1935. They lived the rest of their lives in Kansas City and are buried in Forest Hill Cemetery in Kansas City, Jackson Co., Missouri. George and Lee had fou r children: Josephine Levenia Westfall (my great-grandmother) who married William A. Maas; Jessie Marian Westfall who married George Newman; George F. Westfall (who may have been unmarried); and Lero y Ewing Westfall - who went by Roy. Roy married Laura Boldt in Duluth, Minnesota in 1920.

Datenbank

Titel	Nordhessische Wurzeln
Beschreibung	Diese Datenbank enthält Informationen zu tausenden Individuen und Familien, die sich im Laufe der Forschungen angesammelt haben. Die meisten Daten beziehen sich auf Nordhessen und hier wiederum der Schwerpunkt auf die Gegend südlich von Kassel bis hinunter zur Schwalm. Es finden sch aber auch zahlreiche amerikanische Familien darunter, da meine Vorfahren väterlicherseits aus den USA stammen. Diese Datenbank erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit oder Richtigkeit und sie wird immer wieder aktualisiert. Für Anregungen, Berichtigungen und Ergänzungen bin ich sehr dankbar! Bemerkungen: Berufsbezeichnungen habe ich vielfach abgekürzt, um die Eingabe und Abfrage zu erleichtern. Sollte es zu den Abkürzungen fragen geben, einfach nur nachfragen. Datumsangaben, die mit "etwa" oder "ca." vermerkt sind, beziehen sich in den meisten Fällen auf errechnete Daten oder Taufen (falls kein Geburtsdatum vorhanden sein sollte).
