  • Notes: 

  • There are many online family trees that claim Ann is the daughter of Jamestown settler George Percy (1580-c1632). However most historians believe that George Percy died unmarried and without issue. Without more conclusive evidence, the parentage of Anne, wife of John West, must be considered unknown.
