What documentation is there to show that this Unity West had a middle or first name of Ursala? It is very unlikely for anyone to have a middle name before 1700. The same goes for her mother Unity Croshaw. I have been researching this West family for over 50
years and have never come across any contemporary document of that period that names either the mother or daughter Unity with another name of Ursala.

Now you have changed the middle name to Susannah just because wiki has it but it is not documented. FYI wiki takes information from anyone without proper documentation for most of its material. No genealogy or historical society accepts wikitree for proof of lineage from its applicants.

The Susannah (and Ursula) got brought in from merges in the process of cleaning up duplicate branches. Her name is back to just Unity now.

There may still be some cleanup to be done around there; you're guidance would be appreciated!

I see Unity West was disconnected from John West and Unity Croshaw

I added a picture from Adventures of Purse and Person Virginia 4th edition 1607-1625

It states specifically Unity Croshaw married Col John West, by 4 July 1664. There is no valid proof of name being Susannah- Wikipedia and Wikitree info can be altered. The picture I added is valid proof used in DAR and SAR certificates.

Unity , Unite' , Unitas, as a name, may have emigrated to the New World with Puritans. - although who could say as to when oneness as a human name came into being. It probably was heard by 1640 as people fled persecution.
