Information on Lt. Col. John West

From "Virginia Vital Records", indexed by Judith McGhan, pg. 540:

John West became Lieutenant-Colonel, and was a contemporary of Colonel John West, of West Point. In Bacon's Rebellion he took sides with Bacon, and he and his kinsmen, William Scarborough, had to beg Sir William Berkeley's pardon on their bended knees. He married Matilda Scarborough, and had Anthony, Alexander, John the eldest, Benony, Jonathan, John the younger, and several daughters. Major Charles West, of the text, was a son of either John the eldest, or of Jonathan, as each of them had a son Charles; probably, however, of John "the eldest", who married Frances Yardle
