General Notes: Husband - Adam Westgate


There is a tradition that the first Westgate in America came from England with the King's troops; was a sailor-soldier, and when the war or the occasion that called for troops was over decided not to return to England with his comrades. It is further believed that this sailor-soldier was Adam Westgate, the first of the name found in colonial records. He is said to have resided at Salem, Massachusetts, 1647 to 1662, but it is probable that his residence there exceeded the fifteen years intervening between these dates.
