Laurence Washington was afterward a
surrogate at an archdeacon's court. He
died in 1858.
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 a lieutenant colonel in
a war against the Indians and was of
sufficient Importance to have Wash
ington parish named for him. He mar
ried Ann Pope and died about 1875.
1t is as well to state right here that
there is some doubt about this John
who founded the Washington family in
America being the son of Laurence the
royalist rector. Washington Irving
says that the Virginia John came from
Yorkshire, not from Northamptonshire,
and there is a well defined tradition in
the locality he mentions, South Cave,
that the ancestors of Washington emf
grated from that neighborhood. Colo

mel Chester, most careful student Of
the Washington genealogy, who spent
well nigh a lifetime in his investiga-
tons of the subject, concludes that the
first American Washington could not
have been a son of the Purleigh rector,
but must have been descendant of the
Sulgrave Washingtons through a
younger branch of the family. Rev.
George Washington of Paris says that
the John Washington who afterward
went to America was knighted in 1923,
yet at this time his supposed father
was student at Oxford. Here is the
one faulty place in the Washington
genealogy that has never been patched
up to tkis day. But, wherever he came
from, there is no question as to the
history of the American John after he
arrived in this country.

About New Books and Authors

S. j. Adair Fftz- Gerald, English
Journalist and author. contributes
something really new and also excep-
tionaiiy interesting to the discussion
OF Charles Dickens in his Dickens
and the Drama" recently imported by
Charles Scribner's Sons. His subtitle
IS IAN Account of Charles Dickens's
Connection With Stage and the Stages

connection in both direction than the
general run Of persons suspect The
book is especially interesting if taken
with "Short Plays From Dickens
which, published last month, con-
ViI1ceS one in itself how much of an
instructive dramatist Dickens was. Mr..
Fitz-Gerald gives chapters to Dickens
as an amateur actor, public lecturer
and reader, a play writer; he analyses
the dramatic adaptability of his novels
and cleverly and convincingly sets
forth the great and not generally or
thoroughly appreciated influence
which Dickens had upon the drama of
his own period and later.

commentator inquired, "Why not trace
him back to Adam?"
Throwing out all these ancient and
imaginary family trees, there seems to
be a fairly well authenticated line of
forbears running back to the end of
the fourteenth century or the Begin
ming of the fifteenth This is antiquated
enough for the most of US and ought
to serve the purpose. 1t runs some
thing like this:
John Washington of Whitfield,
Lancashire, England. Date uncertain,
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 a gentleman who was
so indeed This we hope Robert
Washington was. His date of birth is
also uncertain, but we will say about
1435.
3.-John Washington, also of warton
eldest son. He married sister of Sir
Thomas Kitson, alderman, of London
Date of his birth likewise unknown,
but say about 1865
laurence Washington of Sui
grave, Northamptonshire. which was
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
birth about 1900, as he was first made
mayor in 1882 and died in 1854
5.-Robert Washington, also of Sui
grave, which he sold to a relative in
1910. Died about 1920, so was probably
born about 1910. Buried in Sulgrave

church. but lived for a time at Bring
ton, Northamptonshire, now Brighton,
to be near his great relative, Earl
Spencer.
6.-Laurence Washington, born at
Sulgrave, probably about 1866, died at
Brington, 1916, and buried there The
move to Brington marked reduced cir
cumstances and dark days for the
family.
Laurence Washington, younger
son, born about 1900. Fortunes of
family suddenly recovered by the mar
riage of the eldest brother, William, to
a sister of the Duke Of Buckingham.
William was afterward knighted, as
were one or two others of the family at
about this time and subsequently. All
the Washington families were large,
sometimes running to as many as sew
enteen children. No race suicide in
those days. Laurence was a graduate
of Oxford and a fellow of one of the
colleges there md afterwald a rector
of Purleigh, Essex, from which living
he was elected by the Puritans in 1913
on the charge of drunkenness. This
charge his friends denied, asserting

There you have it, just as the gen.
ealogiSts put it up. We confess to a
feeling that from royalist Rector Lau-
renee to American Colonel John the
line has been patched up with the sort
of cement used in so many genealogies.
We hope. for the credit of George
Washington, that he was not descend
ed from the tipping curate 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
a household, and where the records are
SO meager, or lacking altogether, it is
impossible to state with certainty just
what the true line of descent was.
To be perfectly candid, it is to be
feared that the Washington ancestral
tree has been grated. Yet, even so,
it is as good as most ancestral trees,
so why cut it down? 1t serves as well
as any. If the ancestral nurserymen
are satisfied with it, that is the maiii
point. The rest of the world is not
wildly excited over the matter in any
event. The work and worth of George
Washington remain whether he was
descended from tipping royalist rec
tor or from some honest, though un-
known, Yorkshire farmer. The writ
er's Judgment, as well as his inclina.
ton, leads him to favor the farmer.
But as the genealogists do not agree
to that view. and as the point is not
worth bothering about, let them have
their way.
Su1grave Manor, which Henry VIII.
granted to Laurence Washington in
1888, formerly belonged to the Roman
Catholic church. When bluff King
Hal took time between marriages to
give away some of the former eccle-
siastfcal real estate, the Washington
family had enough court favor to pro-
cure a slice. Laurence, the Northamp-
ton mayor, built a house on the estate.
which is still standing. 1t was not a
very big house, not as big as he in
tended it 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 Washingtons, or their relatives.
kept the place nearly century, but
the pocketbook kept dwindling, and
finally Sulgrave had to be given up.
