Christopher was Acting Governor of Tortugas Island; he settled in Virginia in 1635 and in the following year he was justice of York County, Virginia; in 1637 he was a member of the Virginia Council. He probably died without male issue, as he left his land in Virginia to his brother, Ralph.
He married Mary Adams, daughter of Philip Adams. It is possible that he had an earlier wife.
During May and June 1631 the Providence Island Company
determined to send an expedition to Tortuga. They appointed
Christopher Wormeley Deputy Governor.
Christopher Wormeley sailed to Providence Island alone. Late in 1634
Association Island was captured by the Spanish. He was suspected of
negligence.
On his way home he called at Elizabeth City, and during his brief stay in Virginia sold a pinnace to William Claiborne. Two years later, Christopher Wormeley returned to Virginia, where he was granted a large tract of land in York County. In 1635 Christopher Wormeley settled on the east side of Wormeley's Creek, near Yorktown, and at his death this property came to his brother, Ralph.
After the Christopher's death, Mary remarried as was the custom in Virginia, where women were in short supply and had no legal rights in the early 17th century.
