The following is from John Frederick Dorman, editor, “Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia, 1607-1624/5,” 3rd edition (Richmond, Virginia: The Dietz Press, 1987), 656-7: The monument at the grave of Samuel West (1729/30-1807) in New Bedford, Mass., states that his great-grandfather, unnamed thereon, was son of Capt. Francis West, brother of the Third Lord De La Ware, Governor of Virginia (T VI, p. 119). Edward E. Cornwall, “Francis West of Duxbury, Mass,. and Some of his Descendants,” NEHGR LX, pp. 142-51, identifies the great grandfather as Francis West who married, 27 Feb. 1639[/40?] in Duxbury, Margaret Reeves and died there 2 Jan. 1692[/3?], aged 86, and quotes a family manuscript written by another great grandson, Judge Zebulon West (1707-1770) as saying “Francis West, a house carpenter by trade, being a single man, invited by Mr. Thomas of Marshfield, Massachusetts, left the town of Salisbury in England and came to N. England.....” The age at death, if correct, would preclude his being Francis West (son of Francis West and grandson of Sir Thomas West, second Baron De La Warr, and Lady Anne Knollys), who was under age when his father made his will in 1629. Furthermore, although Francis West of Duxbury held several minor offices, he was never referred to as “Mr.” or “Gent.,” which almost certainly would have been the case had he been the grandson of an English Peer. Elsewhere on page 656 is stated that Francis West, son of Sir Thomas West, second Baron De La Warr, married (1), Margaret (last name unknown), widow of Edward Blayney, (by whom he had son Francis) (2), Temperance (Flowerdew) Yardley, widow of Sir George Yardley, and (3), Jane Davye. No issue is shown for the second and third marriages. No details about the life of Francis West, son of Francis West and grandson of Sir Thomas West are given.
