John West III; married Judith Armistead. Nathaniel West, married, as her second husband, Martha Woodard, widow of Gideon Macon and grandmother of Martha Washington. Anne West; married Henry Fox. Captain Thomas Oliphant West (1670 West Point, VA - 23 December 1740, New Kent, VA); married Agnes Frances Estes Burton (1670-1720). They had five children: Nathaniel (1692-1727), Col.

West was said to have fathered a son with the Pamunkey leader Cockacoeske about 1656, several years before West's marriage to Unity Croshaw. The child became known as Captain John West.[7] Although there is evidence that Col. West was living apart from his wife in 1685,[8] the year before Cockacoeske's death, the reasons for their separation remain unknown.
This is from his alleged father Wikipedia page. The source they are using is Dorman, John Frederick, Adventurers of Purse and Person, 4th ed., v.3, p.490
Can we find any source for his origins (and other family members)? THanks.
They're attached as brothers now, but I think that may be wrong.
See West-12705 - compare - and the comment I posted on West-13437.
Thanks!
