He became the Indian Interpreter in VA. A close companion o f Cocacoeske, Queen of the Pamunkey Indians, and widow of C hief Totopotomoi, a grandson of one of the sisters of Chie f Powhatan, father of Pocahontas. Because of Cornelius Dabn ey's close association with Queen Cocacoeske, it would hav e not been appropriate for him to have received a woman o f the Queen's family to wed after the death of his first wi fe, Eedith,. Cornelius Dabney's second wife, Sussana, is co nsidered by many to been of the family of Chief Topotomoi a nd Cococoeske (Been substantiated?) Queen Cockacoeske had a n illegitimate son, Capt. John West, by John West, son of G ove. John West of VA. This Captain John West was with his m other Cocacoeske, and Cornelius Dabney in the late 1670's w hen the famous Treaty of Middle Plantation was signed by th e various leaders of the tribes under Queen Cocacoeske.
