However, the estate was exceptionally small, and no division was made, all bring given to Peter because he had cared for his father for several years. In JK 32, 70 there are notes on a Peter who must have been this Peter, since the only other known Peter of this period was the son of Francis and Susanna (Soule), who is dismissed in Mayflower Families (3:10) as being without further record. It is noted in JK that Peter owned land on both sides of the Plympton & Kingston line, in what is now Kingston and near Jones River Pond [now Silver Lake] where West Street comes out at its western end. It is also recalled that Peter was involved in the assignment of pews in the First Church in 1720, when he was given a third of a pew in the gallery "behind the women". The pew was later to go to William Coomer in case Peter should leave."West, Carlton Prince, ''A Survey of the Descendants of Francis West of Duxbury,'' (Winston Salem, NC : 1987) partially transcribed at [http://history.vineyard.net/franwest.htm history.vineyard.net] (accessed 24 Feb 2023). === Ancestral File Number === : Ancestral File Number: 3039-CJ == Sources == :See also:*Wheeler, Richard Anson, [https://archive.org/details/historyoftownofs00whee_1 ''History of the Town of Stonington, County of New London, Connecticut, from its first settlement in 1649 to 1900,''] (New London, Conn. : Press of the Day publishing company, 1900), [https://archive.org/details/historyoftownofs00whee_1/page/n647/mode/2up page 626.]*Cornwall, Edward E., M.D., [https://archive.org/details/newenglandhistor60wate/page/142/mode/2up "Francis West of Duxbury, Mass., and some of his descendants," ''NEHGR'' Vol. 60:143].*Winsor, Justin, [https://archive.org/details/historyoftownofd00wins_0/page/334/mode/2up ''History of the town of Duxbury, Massachusetts'' (Boston, Mass : Crosby & Nichols, 1849), page 334.]*West, Joseph A. and George H.
