The oldest Washington document is
probably a deed answering to our
mortgage. executed by William de
Washington, the last of the family to
hold estates in the county of Durham.
The document Is in Latin, dated 1876.
1t was brought to America about
dozen years ago. The deed and seal
attached to it are in perfect condi-
ton. One interest In the document
is that the seal has the arms used by
Washington and his family, from
which the arms of the United States
were adopted in 1776. 1t might be
said Of the seal that 1t is an impress
sion of the American coat-of-arms,
made exactly 400 years before its
adoption here.
The Yorkshire escutcheon was the
original arms of the family. 1t is
vert, lion rampant, argent, within

Crest, out of ducal coronet, or, an
eagle-hence our spread eagle" or
bird of freedom. The motto is the
same as that of the Northampton and
Lancashire arms.
According to one coat-of-arms, that
of Sir William Washington of Pack
ington, genealogists would have us be-
lieve that George Washington is de-
scended from Edward Ill of England,
David, the lion king of Scotland, and
Hugh Capet. king of France. Sir
Williams arms have six quarterlngs.
One is that of an ancestor who mar.
ried Eleanor Hastings; another that of

Ancestry Of Washington Can Be
Traced for Centuries.
The name Washington is derived
from that Of the town In Durham,
England, which was originally Was
singatun-the town OF Wass. Accord
ing to tradition, Wass-this name is
now found In the London directory
colonized Britain long before the Nor
man conquest. II Wass Is derived
from the old Morse word hvass, the
original meaning Is keen, bold; hence.
perhaps. the illustrious name Gustavus
Vasa, king OF Sweden.
Before the name Washington was
evolved, many changes were rung on
the original orthograph = wassinga-
tun. Among different forms were
Wessyngton. Weissigton, Weissing-
ton, Whessyngton, whesshyngton,
Wassengtone. Washington, Washing
ton-finally Washington. Even Ques-
sington is one variation. The village
OF Wassingatun is mentioned in a
charter granted by King Edgar in 973.
In Tennessee we have a town called
Wessyngton.
The settlers in this country were
the great-grandfather Of George Wash
ington. Col. John Washington, who
