That of Washington, Written by
Himself. Is Now in Boston.

h
From the Boston Transcript.
There has recently been brought to Bos-
ton a document which is OF extraordinary
value to all interested in genealogy and
Washing toniana. At the Clark sale soon
to be held in this city this treasure viii
be offered by auction, and the lively com
petition which is sure to result for it's pos
session probably will never have been sur
passed in the history of book sales In Bos-
ton, which includes the remarkable Deane
sale. This unique" is the original manu-
script genealogy of George Washington,
together with his correspondence with
Sir Isaac Heard, Garter King t-Arms of
the College of Heralds, London. Its ex-
istence was not known to the earlier BIZ
ographers of Washington and Jared
Sparks spent much time in a discussion
of points that are brought out in this in
teresting autobiography treasure 1t is a
find" which should have a place in the
Boston Public Library. but 1t may com
mana a greater price than the library can
afford TO pay.
Quite n Treasure.
1t is not often that anything of this kind
can remain unknown for a hundred years
The blank book which contains all these
letters and manuscripts, however togeth-
er with such other matters as seven col
ored drawings of coats-of-arms from the
tombs of Washington's ancestors, clip
pings from the Louaon Morning Chron-
icle, a rare printers proof OF an epitaph
for a Washington monument and similar
valuable data, remained in possession of
a family in England until a very recent
period. With other musty volumes this
old letter book was undisturbed for nearly
a century, when 1t came into the possess
sion of an American who realized it's
value.
Washington GeneaIOgy.
Probably more has been written about
the Washington genealogy than about any
other in this country. Washington him
self, as he says in these letters, did not
know much about his ancestors except
that they came from the north Of Eng
land" The Washington genealogy pub
lished In Volume XII. OF the New Eng
land Historic Genealogical Register"
gives the pedigree back TO the middle OF
the sixteenth century, but in speaking
or the descent OF John and Lawrence
Washington had to fall back upon at Is
said' that these brothers came to Amer
lea. The Washington pedigree of Sir
Isaac Heard in this volume, Is given as
"a Pedigree of Washington of SulRrave
IN Northampton descended from Wash
ington of Wharton IN Lancashire) in
which there are two brothers, John and
Lawrence younger sons Of Lawrence
Washington, who died In 1870. who might
have been the two brothers who migrated
to America in 1857. John was at oxford
In 49,"
Some brief extracts from the wash
ington manuscript genealogy will serve
TO show its character. The Father OF His
Country had become interested IN the
subject and although he was. os he says.
