Notes
James Westbrook is listed as one of the thirty-seven Headwright in the Patent granted to Peter Knight and Baker Cutt, dated October 13, 1653 for 1,850 acres of land. Easterly Potomack River, Northerly upon the creek called Capawansick, Westerly upon the main woods and said land being due them by and for the importation of 37 persons into this colony. James is the founder of the Westbrook Family in the Southern Part of the United States.
Since several years went by before a final land grantwas issued it can be assumed that James was in Virginia a while before 1653. It can also be assumed that when James came to the United States he wasa man of eighteen or more years of age. James came from England.
He likely married a Hill in England. Perhaps the granddaughter of Samuel. Robert Hill migrated to Virginia same general time period. Adding the Hill to Samuel's name suggests a Hill relationship. James wife not yet proven.)
