The problem of WEST?Weston is first encountered in connection with the tax list of 25 Mar. 1633 (PCR­CO 1:8), on which a name appears to be Francis Weston. Justin Winsor, in examining the Duxbury records while preparing his History of…Duxbury... transcribed the name as Weston but with misgivings, so he printed it as "Weston (West?)''. He evidently later decided that references to Francis Weston meant Francis West, because, in his treatment of the Weston family (pp. 334­336) he made no reference to any Francis Weston of the period, even in his note of unidentified Westons. The confusion seems to have arisen with a difficulty in interpreting the records. The name was sometimes written with a slight twist of the pen after the "t" which may have been only a casual stroke or flourish or a sign for the suffix "on", Nathaniel Shurtleff, in editing the Colony records read the name as Weston in the tax list of 1633, in the list of freemen of the same year (although the name was later canceled), and in the record of the marriage to Margery Reeves.

The story starts in 1828 when William West (who was born in 1800 at Kenn near Exeter in Devon) married Susannah Boucher (born in Lechlade) at StAndrew’s Church. They settled in Old Headington, and at the time of the 1841 census William is described as a gardener and was living in Old High Street with his wife and four children: John (baptised at StAndrew’s Church in 1829), William George (1832), Samuel (1835), and Mary Anne (1837).

While at Copiah-Lincoln, West was a standout athlete who earned letters in both basketball and track. On the hardwood, he earned All-Conference, All-State and All-Region VII honors in both his freshman and sophomore seasons. As a sophomore, West helped to lead his team to both the State and Regional Championship in which the team posted a third place finish in the national junior college tournament. In addition, he is the current NJCAA national tournament single game and overall tournament assist record holder with 17 and 33 assists respectively. While in junior college, West was listed among the Who’s Who Among College Students. In 1998, he became the first African-American to have ever been inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame.
