Unity Croshaw and John West had the following children:[5]
Unity died after 30 October 1693, when she relinquished dower in "Poplar Neck."[6]

West was said to have fathered a son with the Pamunkey leader Cockacoeske about 1656, several years before West's marriage to Unity Croshaw. The child became known as Captain John West.[7] Although there is evidence that Col. West was living apart from his wife in 1685,[8] the year before Cockacoeske's death, the reasons for their separation remain unknown.
