In 1651 Bartholomew purchased 70 acres in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He and his brother Robert were among the original purchases of land in Monmouth County, East Jersey, in 1665 and he was a deputy from Shrewsbury to the General Assembly of East Jersey in 1667.[1]

1652 to Catherine Almy

In Katherine's father's will of 28 February 1676/7, he gave to "'my grandchild Bartholomew West' £20 when he comes to age."[2] He did not apply to get land with his siblings Stephen, William, and Audrey in 1675, but he was still too young at 20. Are there any additional records of him?
Unable to find a source for the relationship if any to Anne (West) Wooley (abt.1670-), connected as a daughter.

Death and Legacy

Robert died before 1675, when his widow, who had already remarried, received a patent for their land.

Katherin Brown "Late Widow of Bartholomew West [%E2%80%A6] in Right of her Deceased husband and her self from the Year 1666" received a warrant for 180 acres of land in Shrewsbury dated 2 Nov 1675.[3]

Research Notes

Adopted this profile. Former DOD was 30 Oct 1703 but that can't be correct, as his wife was a widow by 1675.

Could not find a will abstract for Bartholomew,[4] so not sure where the DOD came from; Ancestry cites "family data collection".

Bartholomew was born about 1627. He passed away about 1674.

notes

From the WorldConnect Database: "The Freeman, Howe, Parke, Stockwell, Thatcher, Martin etc", by Peter Howe Freeman:

"As written in the "Genealogical and Personal Memorial of Mercer County,New Jersey" Vol. I

Bartholomew and Katherine, with most of their family, came to MonmouthCounty, New Jersey, about the year 1666, and were among the founders ofthe new settlements that took the name of Shrewsbury and other well knownnames. Bartholomew was a member of the first Assembly of East New Jersey,which met December 14, 1667.

He was buried on his land in Shrewbury township in a halfacre not farfrom a branch of the Shrewsbury River, and several of the family werealso buried there, and it is highly probable that at least twogenerationsof the Wests were also buried there. Near this burial plot wasthe burial plotof Robert West, Sr., another of the Wests who came fromRhode Island. In deedsexecuted in 1697 and 1703, these burial plots were"reserved forever,"but all traces of them are now lost.

These early Wests of East Jersey were probably of the faith andPersuasion of the Puritans. After the death of Barthlolmew hiswidowKatherine married Nicholas Brown, of Shrewsbury, the same who gave thelot at Shrewsbury in 1706 on which the Episcopal church there was firstbuilt, and on which the present edifice stands.
