[2west.GED]
Jonathan West, son of John West, Sr., of Northampton, and Ann, was born
in Accomac County, Virginia, and was under 10 when his father died in
1730. John Wise was his guardian in 1742. In 1751 he and his mother, then
the wife of Daniel Cutler, presented a petition to court in regard to an
estate. Jonathan was heir to his Uncle Charles’ property. In 1782,
Jonathan gave his son, Thorogood, 100 acres in St. George's Parish,
Accomac County. He married 1st, Anne Smith, his cousin, and 2nd, a widow,

children in his will, including Isaac, deceased. Two chancery suits in
1788-89 disclosed two more children not mentioned in the will. Jonathan

By 1648 Charles I was captured and was negotiating with Parliament. This
was not good enough for Oliver Cromwell, the leader of the New Model
Army. On December first of 1648, Cromwell ordered the army to reoccupy
London. "Colonel Thomas Pride was ordered to purge the commons of
dissidents, deducing it to a 'Rump' of about 150 members."(6) Charles was
tried and executed in 1649. The army, through Parliament, was now in
control and was calling government a Commonwealth, without a king or
House of Lords.(7) In October of 1651 the Commonwealth "passed the first
of the Navigation Acts, designed to break the hold of the Dutch on the
carrying trade between Europe and America and within Europe, and it
embarked on the resultant war in 1652 with the utmost
self-confidence."(8)
These events are the basis for what was going on in Virginia, more
specifically Northampton County, in 1651/52.. "In March, 1652, Captain
Dennis arrived at Jamestown and demanded the surrender of the colony to
Parliament, and after a slight delay, and no resistance, the capitulation
was ratified on the 12th of the month."(9) These articles made the colony
of Virginia subject to the Commonwealth. Virginia was to seek out a new
charter from Parliament because she "should have the ancient bounds and
limits granted by the charters of former Kings. . ."(10) The council
appointed for the Commonwealth of Virginia sent its two members from
Northampton County, Nathaniel Littleton and Colonel Argoll Yeardly, back
to collect signatures of the residents of their county. One hundred and
sixteen people signed the document which stated:
The Engagm't tendered to ye Inhabitants of Northampton County, Eleaventh
of March, 1651 (O.S.) Wee whose Names are subscribed; doe hereby Engage
and promise to bee true and faithfull to the Commonwealth of England as
it is nowe Established without Kinge or House of Lords(11)
Argoll Yeardley, the elder son of Sir George Yeardley, governor of
Virginia, in 1638 repatented 3,700 acres of land on the Eastern Shore,
the patent reciting, that the land had been "graunted to Sir George
Yeardley, Kt.... by order of the Court, 9 May 1623."(5) Yeardley presided
over the Accomack County court in June 1640 with the title of commander
and continued in that capacity until the spring of 1645, an assignment
presumably occasioned by the absence in England of Nathaniel Littleton.
Yeardley as early as January 1639 was serving on the Virginia Council.
But in February 1644 proceedings were instituted against "Col. Argoll
Yardly of the Council" for contempt. He was subsequently reinstated in
his high post. Yeardley was married twice, his second wife being Ann
Custis, whom he brought to Virginia along with her brother John.(6) He
died intestate before October 29, 1655, at which time an appraisal of his
estate was returned.(7)
