Sulgrave Washingtons through n
younger branch of the family Rev.
George Washington of Paris says that
the John Washington who afterward
went to America was knighted in 1929,
yet at this time his supposed father
was a student at oxford. Here is the
one faulty place in the Washington

Laurence Washington was afterward a
surrogate at an archdeacon's court. He
died in 1868,
S.-John Washington, born probably
about 1880. Because OF his own and
his family's adherence TO the cause of
the Stuarts and their consequent i'm
poverishment under the protectorate of
oliver Cromwell, John Washington
took to the seas and settled in 1857 in
Westmoreland county, Va. There his
younger brother, Laurence, soon Joined
him. John was u lieutenant colonel In
war against the Indians and was of
sufficient importance TO have Wash

ried Ann Pope and died about 1876
1t is as well to state right here that
there is some doubt about this John

America being the son of Laurence. the

him back TO ADAM"
Throwing out all these ancient and
imaginary family trees, there seems to
be fairly we'll authenticated line OF
forbears running back to the end OF
the fourteenth century or the begin
ming of the fifteenth This is Anticipated
enough for the most of us and ought
to serve the purpose. 1t runs some-
thing like this:
John Washington of Whitfield,

but probably born about 400.
2.--Robert Washington of Warrior,
Lancashire, second son of the forego-
ing. described as gentleman" which
meant much In those days. Cromwell
said he honored gentleman who was

Washington was. His date OF birth is
also uncertain, but we will say about
I436.
3.-John Washington. also Of Warrior,
eldest son. He married a sister of Sir
Thomas Ritson, alderman, Of London.
Date Of his birth likewise unknown,
but say about 1865.

granted him by Henry VIII, probably
for services as soldier. This was a
man of some Importance. as he was
twice mayor of Northampton. Date of

mayor in 1882 and died in 1854.

J. C. A. Hitler state factory inspec-

and he has concluded that further leg

Yet the family marks are left The
coats OF arms are all there about the
doorway, despite Bishop Potters cele-
brated letter TO the contrary.
These coats OF arms are the most in
teresting things about the place. There
are three OF them, and four centuries
have not served entirely to obliterate
their outlines. Their description In the
language of the old heraldry Is some
thing Ike this; Argent. two bars OF
gules; IN chief three mullets of the
second Crest, a raven with wings en-
dossed proper. issuing from n ducal
coronet," To translate this into United
States, II should be understood that
argent means white and gules red
mullets are FIVE pointed stars; EN-
dossed proper" we cannot give the
meaning of properly, but II must mean
outspread At any rate, the thing
should read like this: Two red bars on
a field Of white; above these three five
pointed stars. Crest. raven with OUT
spread wings issuing from q ducal
coronet. Now this exactly describes
the seal used by General George Wash
ington. Not only so, but 1t Is supposed
TO have been the origin of the Amerl-
can flag True. that oanner started
with stripes In place OF bars. and both
the stripes and stars were multiplied,
but these effects We're due to the eYo-
luton of an idea, also OF nation.
There are some who go so far rs to
say that the raven was magnitied into
an eagle and became the noble bird OF
freedom. This theory may be wholly
fanciful. but II is not without poetic
interest.
Sulgrave Manor lies az the outskirts
of a little village in the midst OF a
typical and beautiful English land
scape. 1t is a suggestive fact that In
this village lived the ancestors of that
Lord North who as prime minister OF
George III. waged unsuccessful war on
the American colonies. II George
Washington were truly the descendant
OF the Sulgrave family Of the name his
ancestors ard those OF the man he so
numerically trounced must have been
acquaintance, perhaps friends. Time
plays queer tricks.
The old manor house Is only about
sixty miles north of London and is
waiting for some American with money
to buy 1t, The estate has been twice
offered for sale, at a price OF about
SGT 1000, and for those who like that

the money. II is not very far distant
from Stratford, which some people say
was made famous by Francis Bacon.
II they are right and Colonel Chester is
correct In asserting that John Wash
ington was not the son OF the Rev.
Laurence, both places have been OBJ
tanning fame under false pretenses, but
as nobody can prove anything in either
case they will prOba bly, C0ntinue to do
so and thus are well worth seeing. lf
people believe that the man who wrote
Shakespeare Is buried at Stratford, and
IL people believe that the ancestors OF
Washington lived at Sulgrave, what
loss do they suffer or does any one else
suffer. If they go thitheT? If faith can
remove mountains. why can it not nal

that are not historic?

There you have It, just as the gem
ealogists put il up. We confess 10
feeling that from royalist Rector Lau-
renee 10 American Colonel John the
line has been patched up with the sort
ot cement used in so many geneaogles.
We hope, for the credit of George
Washington that he was not descend
ed from the tipping cuTate who was
driven out by the Puritans. and, very
frankly we do not believe that he was.
Colonel Chester Is probably right in the
statement that the American John
came from some younger branch Of the
family, and possibly Washington Irv-
ing is right in stating that this branch
OF the family lived in Yorkshire
Where there were eight or ten sons in
d household and where the records are
impossible TO state with certainty just
what the true line Of descent was.
To be perfectly candid, 1t is to be
feared that the Washington ancestral
tree has been grated. Yet. even so,
II is as good as most ancestral trees,
so why cut 1t down? II serves ms well
as any. If the ancestral nurserymen
are satisfied with it, that is the main
wildly excited over the matter in any
event, The work and worth of George
Washington remain whether he was
descended from "A tipping royalist rec
tor or from some honest. though I'M
known, Yorkshire farmer The writ
er's Judgment, as well as his nclina-
ton, leads him to favor the farmer
But as the psychologists do not agree
to that view, and as the point is not
worth bothering about, let them have
their way.
Sulgrave Manor which Henry VIII.
granted to Laurence Washington in
1888 formerly belonged to the Roman
Catholic church When blum King
Hal took time between marriages to
give away some Of the former eCcle-
siastical real estate. the Washington
family had enough court favor to pro-
cure slice. Laurence, the Northamp-
ton mayor, built house on the estate,
which is still standing. II was not a
very big house, not as big as he in
tended IL TO be perhaps, but the farm
did not make much return, and the
size Of the pocketbook has way of
determining the size of the dwelling
The Washngtons, or their relatives,
kept The place nearly a century but
the pocketbook kept dwindling, and
finally Sulgraye had to be given up.
