From 1836 through 2006
it appears that there have been at least
seven sets of twins born to West family members. This
time period spans nine generations of the West
family (170 years, or so). We begin our count with D.L.
West's great-great grand children, Owen and Ethan Simmons
(b.2006, the
latest generation), and look back to John William West
(b.1788, D.L.
West's great-great grandfather), who produced a set of twins, John
William, Jr. and Martha Ellen (b.1836).
We
are unable to determine if there were any sets of twins born in
the generations before John William West, due to a lack of
complete family information, but it is likely that they
were. If, and when we find more West twins, we will add
them to this list. If you know of any twins that are not
listed here, please let
me know. The West twins that we know about are listed
below.
