Chauncey W. West
Chauncey Walker West was a Mormon pioneer and was a leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in Utah Territory. He was among the first LDS missionary to preach in Sri Lanka.
West was born in Venango, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. He and his family joined the LDS Church when he was 16. In 1844, he moved with his parents to Nauvoo, Illinois to join the gathering of Latter Day Saints. In 1847, Wests company of Mormon pioneers left Nauvoo for Winter Quarters, Nebraska and then to Salt Lake Valley, arriving on September 29, 1847. Both of Wests parents died in Florence, Nebraska. West, now married and father of one, assumed responsibility for his younger sister. His older brother, Ira, followed them a year later to Utah Territory.
