Bruce:

I was watching this discussion and waiting for your question to come up.
There were at least two Francis West's in the area at the time. I believe
that your Francis is the brother of my direct descendant Nathaniel West, son
of Matthew West originally of Lynn, Massachusetts and then Newport, RI. I
have found no direct connection to Francis West of Duxbury, Ma (although I
suppose there is a small chance there is) For information concerning the
descendants of Matthew West please down load West.zip from our Website at
http://hakmiller.rootsweb.com/ If you have information you would like to add
to our database we would love to exchange what we have with you.
