Hardesty's History of Jackson County
Ravenswood DistrictCalvin Marvin WEST - was a son of Thomas and Mary (Flesher) West, who became residents in what is now Jackson county, West Virginia, when it was a part of the frontier lands of Virginia, in 1811. He was here born, at Parchment Valley, Jackson county, January 17, 1819, grew to manhood, was married and entered upon the labors of a farmer in Ravenswood district. His wedded life began October 4, 1837, when Phebe Curry became his wife, and their children have the following record: J.W., born May 5, 1839, and R. N., March 1, 1841, live in Jackson county; Mary Ann, September 13, 1842, deceased; T.B., June 9, 1844, lives in this county; A.J., March 2, 1846, lives in Mason county, West Virginia; A.G., October 4, 1847, lives in Nebraska; W.C., April 30, 1850, lives in Kentucky; Julia A., February 13, 1852, lives in Mason county, West Virginia; Elizabeth A., February 5, 1854, lives in Harrison county, West Virginia; Annie F., August 28, 1856, lives in Jackson county. Three of these sons were participants in the civil strife; Andrew J. and Robert as members of Company K, 11th Virginia Infantry; J.B. was first a member of the 9th Virginia Infantry, and afterward of the 4th Virginia Cavalry.
Calvin M. West filled satisfactorily the office of poor overseer, 1860-1875. In 1842 he settled on his present farm one and three-quarters miles back from Ravenswood, when settlements round about were comparatively scarce. Then a wagon road was an unknown thing, but settlement has so increased that now a hundred wagons pass daily. He receives his mail at Ravenswood, Jackson county, West Virginia.
