FEANCIS WEST OF DUXBURY, MASS., AND SOME OF
HIS DESCENDANTS.

1. " Francis West, a house carpenter by trade, being a single man,
invited by a Mr. Thomas of Marshfield, Massachusetts, left the town of
Salisbury in England and came to N. England, and settled in Duxbury,
Mass., and married Margrey Reeves, by whom he had five children, viz.,
Samuel, Thomas, Peter, Mary and Ruth." So wrote Judge Zebulon West
(1707-1770), a great-grandson of the emigrant, who probably learned
these facts from his father, also named Francis (1669-1731), who lived
with the emigrant in Duxbury until he grew up.
Francis West married Margaret Reeves, in Duxbury, Feb. 27, 1639,
and died in that town, Jan. 2, 1692, aged 86. He is spoken of as a car
penter in the Duxbury records, and the Plymouth, Colony records show
that he made a pair of stocks for the town of Duxbury in 1640. In 1640
and 1642 he was a member of the Grand Jury ; in 1642 he bought a house
and land in Duxbury (Millbrook) ; and in 1643 he was 6n the list of those
able to bear arms. He was admitted freeman in Plymouth Colony in 1656.
In 1658 he was surveyor of highways in Duxbury; constable in 1661 ; and
in 1662, '69, '74, '78, '80 and '81 was a member of the " Grand Enquest."
During the last years of his life his son Peter took care of him, and his
estate, which amounted to only £16: 15: 00, was given to Peter by the
Probate Court.

the Sabbatarian Baptist Church in Newport in 1692, from which
he was dismissed in 1702. His will, dated Jan. 15, 1697/8, men
