Research Notes

The well researched tree for James West 1658-1701 states that his son James West may have died young or remained in England. Other trees have posited he is the father of Richard West. Still need sources for Richard.

• another pretty good tree, which has his birth listed apparently in both Quaker and Church of England records, https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/104297765/person/210090219221/facts
