Greetings, I have a copy of a will for Joseph WEST, Londongrove, Chester Co. PA, written 8/18/1816, probated Nov 11, 1817. Joseph West is son of Thomas West(b. abt. 1714/1715) and Susanna Powell. The 1714 Thomas West is the son of Thomas West (b. abt 1670) who married Mary Dean. That Thomas was the son of Thomas West (b. abt 1642) and Rachel Ann Gilpin. Wife of Joseph West was Susanna Wiley, married Joseph 4/26/1869, 8 children, Jesse, Rachel, Mary, Hannah, Joseph, William, Susanna, and Thomas, (youngest to oldest) Of particular interest, $80 to the 5 children of son William, Deceased. $20 to the 3 children of daughter Susanna, Deceased, who was married with George Wray. Jesse not mentioned or provided for. Will provides for wife Susanna with profits from plantation during widowhood, with specific bequests for Rachael, Joseph, Thomas, Mary, and dau Hannah Price. Joseph and Susanna and children went back and forth between Centre, Kennett, Concord, Chester, and London Grove Quaker Monthly Meetings. This line is a parallel line to that of John West and Sarah Pearson, which includes the painter Benjamin West, which line seems pretty well documented and researched. Not much on the line of Joseph West, though. Anyone looking into it? (Joseph also had a brother Thomas West, born abt 1738, died 1779, intestate, married Esther Newlin 1759, no children apparently, second marriage to Sarah Yarnell of Ridley, 1769, 4 children, Esther, Thomas, Joel and Rebecca) Curt Ritter At Home Arlington, VA
