Francis West1

b. 1605 or 1606, d. 2 January 1692
Brick Wall* There are several theories about the background of Francis West:
     (1) that he came from Salisbury in England
     (2) that he was the son of Francis, Governor of Virginia and brother of Thomas, Lord de la Warr
     (3) that he was not a West but a Weston

Many researchers, throughout the years, have examined each and all of these theories. It is sad to report that to date, no proof from any primary source has been found to support any of them.

That Francis came from Salisbury has been quite generally accepted because it is based on the statement of Judge Zebulon West, a great-grandson of Francis. While he might have been living there at the time of emigration, no record of his birth has been found there. Margaret Adelia Ells, preparing West Lines, arranged a search of Salisbury parish records, where no Francis was found. Possibly Salisbury was confused with Soulsbury, where there were Wests. However, according to records published in REG, there was no Francis among them. There is also no evidence for the statement of Zebulon West that Francis was "invited to emigrate by a Mr. Thomas of Marshfield". He may have confused Francis with Twyford West, who was indentured to Edward Winslow of Marshfield.

The supposition that Francis was the son of Francis of Virginia and the nephew of Lord de la Warr seems to rest on the following considerations. Banks wrote, in his History of Martha's Vineyard that such a tradition was believed by Wests on the island. Thomas West, son of Francis of Duxbury, named a son Sackfield, suggestive of the Sackvilles, who were associated with the Virginia Wests. The gravestone of Samuel West at Acushnet, Massachusetts shows a line of descent from Francis of Virginia, but, curiously enough, does not name Francis of Duxbury, just showing a line and blanking out his generation. One researcher noted that the inscription on the back of the tombstone of Samuel West, who was the son of Dr. Sackfield (also known as Sackville) West and Ruth Jenkins, and died in 1807 in Tiverton, Newport County, Rhode Island, read like this: "Sackville West was the son of Thomas West, physician, the son of _ ___ West, the son of Capt. Francis West, brother of the 3rd Lord DeLaWarre Gov. of VA. Capt Francis came from England to VA in 1608". Thomas West was the son of Francis West and Margery Reeves of Duxbury, and Sackfield West was their grandson. Samuel was a great-grandson of Francis and Margery.

The above genealogical inscription reflects the Vineyard tradition. Francis of Virginia did have some first-hand knowledge of Plymouth, since he made a visit in June 1623 to investigate disputes over fisheries. There is said to be a chart of the West family in the Virginia Historical Society at Richmond that shows the marriage of Francis and Margery Reeves. Finally, it has been considered suggestive that little is known about Francis of Virginia and that a Francis of approximately the same age should appear in the Plymouth Colony.

No proof from any primary source has been found to establish a connection between the two men. However, it would seem that Banks may have gone too far in concluding that there was absolutely no connection between the two, since there is also no proof that a connection is impossible.

The Vineyard tradition, by itself, may be dismissed simply as a tradition without supporting evidence. The use of the name Sackfield is no more than suggestive, since nothing has been uncovered which otherwise relates to it. The gravestone at Acushnet presents the ideas of Samuel or his relatives about a line of descent, but of course includes no proof. There is also no evidence that the visit of Francis of Virginia to New England in 1623 led to any other association. The chart in the Virginia Historical Society, which gives no specific references, represents only the belief of the compiler. It is possible, although not certain, that the two Francises may have been of approximately the same age. No birth record for either has been found. It is widely believed that Francis of Duxbury was probably born in 1605 or 1606. Since the son Francis, of Francis of Virginia, was called a minor in his father's will of 1629, he would likely not have been born before around 1608. Additionally, Francis senior requested in the will that his surviving third wife Jane take care of the son Francis. The general tone of this request suggests that Francis was either a young boy or in some way physically or mentally defective. It is unlikely that a healthy male in his late teens would have been in need of any special care. He might therefore have been born several years after 1608.

There are at least two considerations which argue against the identification of the supposed two men as the same. The first is that it seems somewhat unreasonable that Francis junior of Virginia should have learned the trade of a carpenter, growing up, as he must have, in a prominent family in a landed society. It would rather be expected that he would have learned no trade at all. The second involves the question of what he received, or should have received, as inheritance from his father's estate. There is no evidence that Francis of Duxbury was affluent. His land holdings appear to have been modest, and the size of his estate at the time of his death was notably small.

Although there have been other attempts to show that the two Francises were the same, they can probably be dismissed with little attention because they are almost purely conjectural. One suggests that Francis of Virginia brought his young son with him when he came to Plymouth in 1623, at which time the son found the colony attractive, and, in maturity, decided to return. Another proposal is that the father bought property in the colony and that the son, having been in England, came to Duxbury to oversee and manage this property.

The contention that Francis of Duxbury was actually a Weston who changed his name first appeared in print in Wentworth's Settlement and Growth of Duxbury. Through the author the point was traced to a manuscript genealogy in the public library at Duxbury, with the title "The Weston Families of Duxbury", by Samuel K. Weston. In this work the compiler stated that Francis Weston changed his name after a court sentence in 1640, perhaps from shame and wishing to disassociate himself from the Westons. This genealogy also suggested that Francis might have been a brother of Edmund Weston.

The problem of WEST vs. Weston is first encountered in connection with the tax list of 25 Mar 1633, on which a name appears to be Francis Weston. Weston but apparently with misgivings, as he printed it as "Weston (West?)''. He evidently later decided that references to Francis Weston meant Francis West, because, in his treatment of the Weston family he made no reference to any Francis Weston of the period, even in his note of unidentified Westons. The confusion seems to have arisen with a difficulty in interpreting the records. The name was sometimes written with a slight twist of the pen after the "t" which may have been only a casual stroke or flourish -- or a sign for the suffix "on". Nathaniel Shurtleff, in editing the Colony records read the name as Weston in the tax list of 1633, in the list of freemen of the same year (although the name was later canceled), and in the record of the marriage to Margery Reeves. The Francis on the list of freemen must actually have been that of a Weston because Francis West was not made a freeman until 1655. Elsewhere in the printed records the name appears as West.

There are few references in either the Colony or the Duxbury records to any Francis Weston. In fact, aside from the references mentioned above, there is only one other, the mention of a Francis who in 1679 was described as deceased. Whoever he was, he could not have been Francis West, who died in 1692.

In general, it has been accepted that Francis was West and not a Weston. Neither Judge Zebulon West or Samuel West, both of whom were great-grandsons of Francis, made any mention of the Weston name. Also, it is evident that on occasion the two names were simply confused. According to the Carlton Prince West source, a clear case of such a situation may be found in connection with the settlement of the estate of Thomas Howell. Letters of administration were granted to Edmund Weston on 7 Jun 1648, but it was later recorded that a claim against the estate was paid by Edmund West. No other reference to any Edmund West has been found. No direct evidence has been uncovered to support the claim that Francis changed his name. Such a claim seems to have been based principally on the fact that Nathaniel Shurtleff, as he edited the Colony records, read the name as Weston in entries before 1640 and as West after that. As noted earlier, the Duxbury History source implied that the handwriting in the records could be interpreted either way.

So... The background of Francis West of Duxbury remains a mystery to this researcher -- and to everyone else, so far. Knowing the tenacity of genealogists, however, it may be considered certain that the problem-solving search and research will continue.2,3,4,5,6 
Birth*1605 or 1606Francis West was born in 1605 or 1606, probably in England. Note: The West Family Register by Letta Brock Stone connected, without supporting evidence or documentation, Francis West of Duxbury to Francis West of Virginia and listed both 1616 and 1626 as the year of birth for Francis West. The publication, again because of its representation of the relationship between the two, listed Francis' birthplace as Salisbury, County Wiltshire, England. While those dates and places may be applied to Francis of Virginia, they are not verifiable, at this point, for Francis of Duxbury.1,2,7 
Occupation*1640Francis West is usually believed to have been a house carpenter, which may have been inferred from the fact that he was required in 1640 to build a pair of stocks for the Town of Duxbury, which was delinquent in providing this facility for punishment (PCR­CO 1:164). The need for stocks was apparently pointed out at this time as Francis himself had been sentenced to sit in them.2 
Freeman*8 June 1655Francis West was admitted a Freeman on 8 June 1655 in Duxbury, Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts (Plymouth Colony). This meant that he was legally recognized as a white male over 21 years of age holding full rights of citizenship who is free to ply a trade, own land, and to vote. It appears to have been somewhat late, since he must have been around 50 and had already held office in Marshfield and owned land. His subsequent public appointments were principally on grand juries: for 1662, 1669, 1674, 1678, 1680, and 1682. Occasionally there were other appointments: for 1658 he was Surveyor of Highways. For 1660 he was Constable for Duxbury; and in 1671 he was one of two men appointed to inspect ordinaries in Duxbury to see if regulations were being observed.2 
(Original Proprietor) Land Grant1656Francis West was among the fifty-four Duxbury men listed in 1645 as original proprietors for the development of the town that would become Bridgewater, Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts (Plymouth Colony). Two others, Reverend James Keith and Samuel Edson, were added to the group later, and when the town of Bridgewater was actually incorporated in 1656 there were a total of fifty-six. Of these proprietors, only eighteen, about one-third, actually relocated and became residents of the new plantation. Francis West was one of those who never relocated his family and moved to Bridgewater.

The area known as the Bridgewaters was originally inhabited by Wampanoag who called it Saughtuchquett (Satucket). In 1642 when the township of Marshfield was separated from Duxbury and became its own distinct entity, Duxbury petitioned the court for additional land “to the westward” in compensation.

The General Court granted their petition in 1645 and six trustees, Captain Myles Standish, John Alden, George Soule, Constant Southworth, John Rogers, and William Brett were appointed to divide the land. The action by the General Court was primarily an authority to purchase land, and Captain Standish, Samuel Nash, and Constant Southworth were appointed to make the purchase. The deed was signed on 23 Mar 1649.

The Bridgewater lands were divided among the inhabitants “by an agreement among themselves”. Unfortunately, there is no record to tell us how the town proceeded to agree to their division, or how, by whom, or when it was determined what residence or other circumstance should entitle anyone to a share.

Land Transfer*Francis West never moved to Bridgewater and sold his proprietor's share to Edward Mitchell.13 
Court Action*29 October 1668For the second time, Francis found himself in court. He was indicted on 29 October 1668 for stealing a gun and a hog from an Indian and was sentenced 1 Jun 1669 to pay a sum of thirty shillings to the Indian and return the gun.2 
Land Transfer*10 October 1670 At one time Francis had a right in meadow land at the Gurnet, and in 1670 he was granted 30 acres by the Town of Duxbury. This following land transfer is recorded in the Duxbury Records, Volume A, Page 216, dated October 10, 1670: The town have given unto Francis West, about thirty acres of land on the East side of Experience Mitchell's lands near Namassakeesit, of the same breadth with the said Mitchell's land, and so extending Eastward to a marked tree near a little run in a swamp, about sixty rods distant from Mitchell's land, the tree marked is a maple tree.

William Peabody, T.C.

Some of his land was sold to Josiah Kein. What his original acreage may have been or the largest number of acres he may have owned at any one time is not known.14,2 
Death*2 January 1692He died on 2 January 1692 in Duxbury, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,2

Ann Elizabeth Wheeler1

b. 7 March 1831, d. May 1868
Family
Birth*7 March 1831Ann Elizabeth Wheeler was born on 7 March 1831, probably in Connecticut, although the Conger Family source reported it took place on Long Island, New York.1 
Name VariationAnn Elizabeth was usually called Elizabeth. 
Marriage*12 March 1850She married John Newton Conger, son of Uzziah Conger and Hannah West, on 12 March 1850 in Knox County, Illinois.1,2,3 
Census US 1850*14 October 1850Ann and John Newton Conger were enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 14 October 1850 in Township 10 N 1 E, Knox County, Illinois. He was a farmer and they were both 19. The newly married couple lived with John Newton's brother, Norman Hurd Conger and his wife Mary, who was Elizabeth's sister. Clustered together on the same census page, and apparently living on neighboring farms, were two additional Conger brothers: Crayton Hall Conger and wife Minerva, and Lauren Clark Conger with his wife Amanda and their son Seth. Minerva and Amanda Conger were most likely sisters and their Hasbrook parents also lived on a neighboring farm in the cluster. And then, not too far away, were Mary and Elizabeth's parents, Alvah and Jenotia Wheeler with their family. Two more daughters still living in the Wheeler parents' home would also marry Conger brothers.4 
Death*May 1868She died in May 1868 at age 37.1
