For the last few weeks I have been tracing the possibility that a Nessbit family member married the Father of by Great Grandfarther, Thomas West because he named his son Thomas Nesbit West.

I presume this Nesbitt was an 1820 Settler to South Africa.

I have found Scores of Nesbitts and it is truly amazing how, through marriage and over two generations, a surname can become lost.

I have, once again, found no record of such a person and appeal to the Nebitt researchers to help me in this matter.
