William, the oldest son of Hardin West, planned to become a preacher in Missouri, but he heard of the gold rush in California and decided to go out there and seek his fortune. Apparently he was married at the time and had a small son. His wife did not want any part of going to California so they divided up their property and were divorced. William went to California, but was never learned whether or not he made his fortune. When he decided to leave California he came back through Utah on his way to Missouri. He joined up with a group of Mormon settlers and became a follower of that faith. He remarried and did not return to Missouri at the time. In the mid to late 1870's William made a journey back to Kentucky and Missouri. He kept a journal of all his travels on the way. In his journal is recorded all the names of his brothers and isters and his parents. He named Katherine Williams West as his mother and made records of all of her people. (his record contains birthdates, marriages and the dates of deaths that had occurred in his family. It did not give the date his father and mother were married.) William lived in Utah, Missouri, Idaho and Alberta, Canada.

Thomas Woodson West was the only member of the West family to join the Union Army during the Civil War. The rest of the West sympathies were with the South. The story goes that Thomas was on his way to join the Confederacy when he was captured by the Union forces and made to join their ranks. Thomas's son later said of his father, "He was a soldier in the Union Army and spent three years trying to free his uncle John Laffoon West's niggers." Thomas Woodson West died in 1908 in Maries County, MIssouri.
