Alice West

Family

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/West-7467

John West4 (Francis West3, Susannah Soule2, George Soule1) was born in Kingstown Rhode Island about 1706, and before 1709.[1]

He married in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, March 1730/1 Alice Sweet by William Spencer, Justice [2] She was the daughter of William and Hannah Sweet. She was named in William's will and her son William was named executor.[1]

John West and wife Alice sold a number of land parcels in North Kingstown between 1731 and 1739, and he received land, part of their father's estate, from his brother Thomas, in 1740/1.[1]

John West was made freeman on North Kingstown in 1730. He is listed in the 1747 census of that town also.[1]

In June 1754, John West and his son William were ordered out of Scituate, Rhode Island, because their certificates were out of order. They returned fairly soon, and began a series of land speculations.[1]

John died probably in Scituate, Rhode Island after the 1774 census.[1]

Unfortunately, there are no birth, probate or division of property documents to provide the names of John's children.[1]

1. William is mentioned in the will of his grandfather Sweet[1]
2. Mehitable b. c. 1731 ?[1]
3. Elizabeth b. c. 1733 ?[1]
4. Deborah b. c 1735 ?[1] The three daughters, need proof of their relationship. They were not mentioned in the wills of either of their grandfathers.[1]
