Yes, I was asking if he was one of Jane's gateway ancestors. She responded (off
the list) that he wasn't the same John West as her own, but that they were
related. I had originally asked because I had come across detailed information
on him and, if he was her ancestor I was going to offer to pass it on. My own
gateway ancestor is Thomas Burnet, my 7th ggf, who arrived in Southampton, Long
Island in 1643. But thank you just the same, I appreciate the thought.

Dear Jim,
I noticed your message below, asking about John West. He is my 10th
Great-grandfather. I assume you mean this John West:
1. Capt. John West to VA-1618. Born on 14 Dec 1590 in Hampshire, England.
John died in New Kent Co., Virginia abt 1651, he was 60. Occupation:
Gov.Col.Virginia.
John West
Birth: 14 Dec 1590 in Testwood, Wiltshire, England
Death: 1659 in West Point, King William, Virginia, USA
Sex: M
Father: Thomas WEST Lord de la Warr
Mother: Anne KNOWLEYS
John West was born in Hampshire, England, the twelfth child of Sir
Thomas West. John received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Magdalen
College, 1
December 1613, came to Virginia in the Bonny Bess in 1618. Three of
his brothers also came to Virginia.
They were:
1). Sir Thomas West (1577-1618, third Lord De La Warre, first
Lord Governor and Captain General of Virginia, 28 February 1610; his
timely arrival at Jamestown June 1610 saved the disheartened
settlers;
2) Francis West, (1586-1634) member of the Virginia Company, came to
Virginia with Captain Christopher Newport, 1608, elected to the
Council and appointed Governor of Virginia 14 November 1627, serving
two years and continuing a member of the until his death;
3) Nathaniel West (30 November 1592-16 February 1623) married in
Virginia, Frances Greville, and had issue. Nathaniel listed in the
muster.
Note: Winston of Virginia and Allied Families, p. 269-282, "..the
resolution passed by the House of Burgesses, 1660, indicates that the
only descendants in Virginia of Sir Thomas West, second Lord De La
Warr and his wife Lady Anne Knollys are the descendants of his twelfth
son herein John.."
>From the time of his arrival in the colony, John West was associated
with the military and after the massacre of 1622 he commanded a
company of men against the Indians. He was a member of the House of
Burgesses from "The Other Side of the Water," 1629-30, member of the
Council, 1631; Justice of York County, 1634; and after the colonists
had "thrust" out Governor Sir John Harvey, John West as senior member
of the Council was selected to fill his place and served as Governor,
May 1635-18 through January 1636/7 when Harvey was returned.
John married Ann Percy, daughter of George Percy to VA 1607 & Ann Floyd.
They had one child:
2 i. John (~1632-~1691)
Best Wishes,
Sue
