"One of the early Wests in America was Matthew West of the town of Lynn in territory which was to become part of the state of Massachusetts. Lynn was established in 1629, one of the oldest towns in Essex County, Massachusetts, after Salem. Matthew West was recorded as being there as early of 1636, a 'freeman' in 1637 and an owner of 40 acres in 1638. In the colonies, being a freeman generally meant that a man was over 21 years of age, had personal property or real estate, was a member of a church and had been elected a freeman by a majority of the town's freeman. It also meant that Matthew West had to pay taxes, participate in the election of new freeman and elect representatives to the governing assembly.
(Moved to Newport around 1646 because of religious opposition in Mass.)
..."Mathew West was a tailor. The old records lead to the
conclusion that he was a Baptist and resided in a community of Baptists in Newport where he was listed as a resident in the year 1646. He was listed there as a freeman there in 1655 and the same year was a representative in Providence along with the Rev. Roger Williams. In 1672, he deeded to his grandson, Nathaniel West II, son of his eldest son Nathaniel West I, the 'dwelling house I now live in' in Newport." (Donnelly, pp. 262-263; superscripts omitted)
