Biographical Description

George West was an American Indian man who was a servant to Henry Norman in Perquimans Precinct, North Carolina. It is unclear whether West was indentured to Norman or enslaved, but whatever the nature of his servitude, West ran away sometime in 1690, taking men's clothing, hand tools, a gun, and a canoe with him. By the time Norman submitted a petition to the government in 1691 requesting help in finding his servant, West was still at large. Any additional information about West's origin or his eventual fate has not been located.
