de la Warr, Thomas West

0.06 sec.

de la Warr, Thomas West (1577-1618)

English colonial administrator. Sent to North America as governor of Virginia in 1609, he arrived in 1610 just in time to prevent the desertion of the Jamestown colonists, and by 1611 had revitalized the settlement. He fell ill, returned to England, and died during his return voyage to the colony in 1618.

Both the river and state are named after him.
