General Notes: Husband - John West

of the family of Lord Delaware.

He did not affiliate with the Society of Friends. He married in England and had one child, Thomas. About 1714 he joined his brothers, William and Thomas, in Pennsylvania. His wife, unable to make the voyage at the time, died soon after.
From 1721 to 1732, John West was a resident of Upper Providence, now Delaware County, where he owned 21 acres of land on Ridley creek; in 1733 he was an innkeeper in Chester; by 1737 he was in Springfield twp., where he also kept a tavern; in 1744 he took charge of the inn at Newtown Square; he was restored to membership with Friends at Newtown Meeting in 1759; in 1764 he returned to England and died at the house of his sister, in Marlborough, Oxfordshire. His portrait appears in his son's painting, "Penn's Treaty with the Indians," and also in the "West Family."
