About
a year ago I discovered my West family may be descended from Mayflower
passenger John Howland. But I hadn't had a chance to dig deeper .
Looking into Probate files from AmericanAncestors.org. I found Mary West receiving part of the estate of James Bearce Sr. in 1728.
Then I found a James Bearse (Jr?)taking guardianship of three sons of Elisha West's sons in 1738/9 after Elisha's death.
Elisha West was married to Mary Bearce.
Mary Bearce was the daughter of James Bearce. and Experience Howland, whose grandfather was John Howland of the Mayflower.
That's all I could find so far that isn't behind a paywall.
