General Notes: Husband - William West

---

He learned the trade of oak cooper in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and continued this business until his fortieth year (in 1765), when he purchased a tract of land of more than one hundred acres in Upper Darby township, Delaware County. Farming was an entirely new occupation to him, but he proved successful and even noted as an agriculturist, many of his methods being original with himself. The Board of Agriculture of England, having learned of his superior farm management, elected him to an honorary membership. He was an exemplary member of the Society of Friends, a good and helpful neighbor, of a cheerful disposition, and he displayed considerable ability in writing verse. Without solicitation upon his part, he was elected to the state legislature, and by repeated re-elections his service in that body was extended to the period of five years. These and other facts in his life are narrated in a printed copy of a "Eulogium of William West," by James Mease, M. D., February 13, 1810.
