AMERICAN FLAG BASED
ON WASHINGTON ARMS.
National Museum Gets Set of
Rubbings From Brasses of
Family in England.

The United States National Museum, in
this city, has recently received set Of
rubbings from the monumental brasses
Of the Washington family in Sulgrave
and Brington, England. collected and
presented by Mrs. A. T. Robertson Of
Washington. D. C.
The fact that the history of the family
Of George Washington is well known
and fully recorded in England Is brought
to notice by the brass memorials and in
scriptions still to be seen in the old Eng
lish church and manor Of Sulgrave and
Brington. England. 1t was in this vii
large that Laurence Washington and his
family lived for three generations pre-
vious to their removal to Brington.
The Washington house. originally a
monastery. is now the manor house Of
the village of Sulgrave. 1t was granted
to Laurence Washington. the mayor OF
Northampton, by Henry VIII. in the year
teries. Over the entrance is carved the
Washington coat-of-arms, we'll known to
every American citizen.
Old Church Stands Nearby.
The old church Of ST. Mary, where the
family worshiped for years, is nearby,
and forms a point Of considerable inter-
est. containing, as it does, three memo
rial brasses on the gray stone slab put
down in memory Of Laurence Washing
ton and his family.
These brasses consist Of Laurence
Washington's effigy, a shield bearing the
Washington arms and the following in
scription:
Here lyeth buried We bodys Of Lau-
renee Washingto. Gent, & Anne his wyf
by whome he had issue iii sons &c ii
daughts we laurence Dyed ye.. day.

ington, devised this monument as a me-
mortal to his wife, leaving the date of
his own demise blank to be filled in after
his death. This. however, has never
been done.
Two other records of the Washngtons
are found in the village of Brington. In
this little township not far distant from
Northampton. stands the house to which
in this house that Robert Washington
died in 1872 and in the yard. engraved
upon a sun dial, is found the Washington
coat-of-arms.
In the Church. of All Saints. near at
hand, where Robert Washington is buried,
an inscription reads as follows:
