March 2025: I have followed the descendants of Elizabeth's presumed family and there are no DNA matches to anyone in that line. Presumed family: John West and Mary Best, sister Ann c 1783, brother George b.1792. Could be that this family is incorrect for Elizabeth or she isn't the mother of the Joseph west that is my ancestor.
HOWEVER, Philips is also a name associated with the Y-DNA so research continues....
