Barons De La Warr
The West Family
An English Noble Lineage
1365 – Present
The West family descends from the Barons De La Warr, one of England's oldest noble families. This lineage includes Knights of the Garter, colonial governors, and the man for whom the American state of Delaware is named.
The Jackson–West Connection
The West family connects to the Jackson line through Christopher Jackson (b. 2007), whose mother Tiffany Porter (b. 1988) descends from the West family through her father Denny West (b. 1960). This maternal line traces back through American pioneers to Tudor-era English gentry.
