Unity Croshaw, a colonist of British Colonial Virginia, was born into a prominent family in the first surviving European colony in North America. She was the daughter of Major Joseph Croshaw and a granddaughter of Raleigh Croshaw, who arrived in the Colony of Virginia in 1608. Unity married Colonel John West and had several children, leaving a lasting legacy. She was involved in a legal dispute over her father's plantation, "Poplar Neck," which was eventually sold to Edmund Jenings and renamed "Ripon Hall." Unity's exact date of death is uncertain, with one source suggesting she was still living in 1707. Despite some debate about a possible earlier marriage, there is no substantiated evidence. Unity Croshaw's life offers a glimpse into the early colonial history of Virginia and the challenges faced by prominent families during that time.
