Why do top contributors copy each other, is that all it takes to be a top contributor then.

Answer 3

The Texas Death Index lists a West Levingston who died in Harris County, TX on 10 Dec 1958.  If that's your guy, you can order a copy of his death certificate, which should give you his parents' names.  Here's a link with information about how to order a death certificate:  http://www.vitalrec.com/tx.html

You may already have this info, but the Texas Marriage Index lists:  Wes Livingston married Harriet Daniels on 3 Nov 1892 in Houston, TX

Edit:  Okay, wow, I just found this site which has Texas death certificate info online (including parents names, etc).

Edit:

The census image gives the following information they rented their home and it says the value of it is  15 ? whether thats the amount of rent per month I don't know, I'm a UK researcher and the census returns are different to ours over here. They married at age 23 so that would be 1929 and the males in the household worked as concrete work  

contractors and Cherry was a laundress (resident) .

Edit:

The 1910 census return states that Wess and Hattie married at age 17, and that they were both born in Texas as were both of their parents. Wess was listed as a farmer.
