: ".....Abstract of the nucaptive will of William West of Dedisham in the parish of Slinfold county Sussex 1610 ..taking a voyage to Virginia he did declare all his goods whatsover unto MARY BLUNT, the wife of RICHARD BLUNT, of Dedsham, Esq. and did then appoint the said Mary executrix. Proved June 21st 1616 by the said executrix. (In the fall of 1610 the Indians killed near the Falls of James River, Captain William West, nephew of Lord Delaware, presumably the testator)
niece? daughter? of Lord Delaware.
...the new company-appointed governor, Thomas West, twelfth baron De La Warr,
See "The Virginia Adventure, Roanoke to James Towne" by Ivor Noel Hume.
Lord De La Warr's family name was Thomas West. He is mentioned quite a bit in the book, and on page 294 it speaks of him as spending the winter of 1610 in his fort at the James River falls, following John Smith's lead toward shifting the colony's administration inland to modern Richmond. The book goes on to say that his stay was not an unqualified success due to being constantly on the defensive against the Indians. "He had lost several men, including his nephew Captain William West, while others were taken prisoner or had narrow escapes."
