William West (Rhode Island politician)
William West (c. 1733–1816) was an American militia general in the American Revolutionary War, Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court, Deputy Governor of Rhode Island, and anti-federalist leader. West also was a party in the first U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1791, ''West v. Barnes''.〔Timothy W. Larson, ("West v. Barnes: The First Supreme Court Decision" ), ''Rhode Island Bar Association Journal'', July/Aug 2010, pp. 13–15〕
==Early life==
West was born in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, in about 1733 to Alice Sweet and John West, a great-grandson of Pilgrim, George Soule. West's father was a large landowner and his mother sold "jonnycakes" during the American Revolution.〔(Diary of Thomas Vernon )〕 West had been thought to be a descendant of Francis West of Duxbury, but modern DNA testing has proven he is descended from Francis West who married Susannah Soule, a completely unrelated West Family line.〔http://web.utk.edu/~corn/westdna/west5.htm#FG20〕 In about 1755 West married Eleanor Brown and served in the French and Indian War around this time. He eventually moved from North Kingstown to Scituate, Rhode Island, and purchased a farm which Governor Stephen Hopkins had previously owned. West set up a prosperous tavern in 1758 and was an active farmer and molasses trader. Soon after moving to Scituate, West became a deputy (representative) and was also elected as a representative of the town in a general convention held at East Greenwich, September 26, 1786. Between 1760 and 1785, West was elected 12 times as a representative.〔C.C.Beaman, ''An Historical Sketch of Scituate, RI,'' Phenix Capron and Cambell, Steam Book and Job Printers, 1877
