Biography

Elizabeth West was the daughter of Thomas West, Knt., 2nd Lord La Warr (or De La Warr) and Anne Knolles (or Knollys, Knowles).[1][2] Her date and place of birth are unknown and are estimated.

Elizabeth married Richard Saltonstall, Knt.,[2] as his second wife, before 5 November 1628. Richard, son of Samuel Saltonstall by his first wife, Anne Ramsden, was married first to Grace Kaye (died June 1625) and brought six children to his second marriage: Maj. Richard, Samuel, Henry, John, Rosamond (wife of Col. Richard Payne), Grace (wife of Col. Thomas Cooper),[3][4] and, probably, Robert (not named by Richardson).[5] Richardson states Elizabeth and Richard had two sons and two daughters; Anderson in The Great Migration Begins indicates only two children; twins, one a boy and one a girl:

  • Francis[3]
  • John,[3] baptized at Isleworth, Middlesex 22 January 1632/3; no additional records[5]
  • Anne,[3] baptized at Isleworth, Middlesex 22 January 1632/3 and buried there 13 May 1633[5]
  • Anne (again)[3]

They immigrated to New England in 1630, where they resided at Watertown, Massachusetts.[3][5] They arrived in Salem, Massachusetts on 12 June 1630 aboard the Arabella,[6] the flagship of the Winthrop Fleet, with Governor John Winthrop.[7]

Richard Saltonstall returned to England shortly after 22 March 1630/1,[3][5] with two of his daughters and his youngest son, leaving his two eldest sons in New England.[6] In England they resided at Isleworth, Middlesex and Elizabeth was a legatee in the 1633 will of her mother, Anne West, Lady la Warr.[3]

Elizabeth's date and place of death are unknown, but Richard remarried his third wife, Martha Cammock, about 1640.[3][5] Richard died intestate at Crayford, Kent before 25 October 1661.[3]

Daughter Anne's birth date needs to be adjusted or her mother was Grace not Elizabeth

Elizabeth is the only child of Thomas West an Anne Knollys who doesn't appear in Visitation of Hampshire 1678 Page 59:West. Is it possible to quote the relevant bit from Richardson?
