Almost all this biography was lifted from the Tudor Place. Verica Atrebatum 16:04, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is wife really Anne Percy?

In (Richardson, Douglas (2004). Plantagenet Ancestry. Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co. Inc., p. 405. ISBN 0806317507. ) lists the wife of John West merely as "Ann _____" As Richardson's book seems to be a very reliable source, this make me concerned about our article stating clearly that the wife's name is "Anne Percy." Also, when I consulted the external link, Tudor Place: John West, Governor of Virginia, it provides no documentation for its claims at all. I have emailed the Tudor Place webmaster, but have not received any response. When I proceeded to do further research, I was able to find a source for George Percy having married Anne Floyd, Anne Percy's supposed mother. (See George Percy.) However, I was unable to access reliable sources of Anne Percy actually existing. I did find some sites discussing the issue and it's lack of documentation (See Begin Your Adventure & Rootsweb.com.) If anyone finds documentation, actually posting it to this article would be a very great help as people are quoting this unnsourced article as authority for their family genealogies.Kenalynn (talk) 14:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
