    Notes:

    Name:
    Joseph West was a very useful citizen. He was entrusted with the guardianship of an unusual number of minors, not one of whom was ever known to express dissatisfaction with the management of his property. Towards the close of revolutionary war, when the financial affairs of the town were necessarily in great confusion, and the state government had required additional duties from towns in their corporate capacity, the people of Tolland elected a board of five selectmen, being two more than the usual number, and Mr. West was placed at its head, though he had, as selectman, long before, gone the customary round of office.

    Joseph married Lois STRONG on 10 Mar 1752 in Tolland, Tolland County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
