↑ The parentage of Thomas West is not known. Because "John West of Ipswich" purchased property from Catherine the widow of John Jackson it is suspected that he may be related to the Thomas West who may have married John Jackson's daughter (but not universally accepted), but nothing is known. For example, Source:Hart, Craig. Genealogy of the Wives of the American Presidents and Their First Two Generations of Descent, in his coverage of Grace Coolidge, stops the West line at Thomas in the 8th generation, showing no parents for him when he covers the 9th generation.
