History of the Towandas, 1776-1886: including the aborigines, Pennamites ... By Clement Ferdinand Heverly
Williston West was a settler on the Harry Decker place as early as 1812. He cleared up a considerable part of the farm. For his second wife he married Miss Susan, daughter of Benjamin Bosworth. He died very suddenly at the age of about 80 years [in 1819, more likely abt 65], and was buried at Cole's. The children resulting from his second marriage were William [Williston Jr], Andrew, Harrison [Benjamin], Lorenzo[Alonzo], and Amy. The widow married Jno. Haithorn, an Englishman. Amy and Andrew went West with the Mormons.
Benjamin Bosworth, a soldier of the Revolution, and hatter by trade, came in from Boston and settled (about 1814) the place adjoining Mr. West's, the same now being owned in part by Willis Fisher. He died Dec. 27, 1847, in the 94th year of his age, and is buried at Cole's with a number of his brave compeers.

He was a soldier of the Revolutionary war and served an enlistment of nine months in the company commanded by Captain King, Colonel Marshall's regiment of the Massachusetts line. In his affidavit of Sept. 11, 1820, asking the benefits of a pension, he sets forth that he is a hatter by occupation; that his family consists of himself, wife, Mary, aged 68 years, grandson, Peter B. West, aged 12 years and a granddaughter, Amy Bosworth, aged 14 years. Mr. Bosworth died Dec. 27, 1847 in his 94th year and was inhumed at Cole's. A daughter, Susannah, married Williston West and after his death, John Haithorn."
