bow to one whom they looked upon as
a usurper, many of the Washingtons
fed to foreign lands. John and Law

Washington's name was James, and
he fed to Rotterdam, Holland, where

From this union was derived the pres

of England. William of Normandy
was the victor, ard King Harold, with
tens of thousands of his English, was
among the slain. The victorious
French marched to London, and on
Christmas day they proclaimed their
dashing leader civilian l, Conqueror
and King of England"
King William, like all his French
knights, loved the French ideals of
government church and home, and in
fused into the old English national
and domestic life all the customs Of
his native land Even the English
language, which William never could
learn, was gradually set aside, and
among the loyal French knights who
assisted the Conqueror in enforcing
his reforms was the distant kin Of
George Washington. This early an
cestor of our first president was num-
bered among the intimates Of the
King, and was one of the leaders of
the French Conquest. In the past,
American historians, possibly because
Of the strong influence upon literature
exercised by England, placed the
Washington ancestry as beginning in
that country; but careful investigation
bears out the statement that the
Washingtons were of definite and d.
rect French origin. They were French
both in sentiment and training, and
the original name was De Hertburn.
Naturally the question arises, why
was the name changed, and what in
duced these faithful French subjects
Of William OF Normandy to assume an
English cognomen? The explanation
is simple enough. William the Con-
queror was a careful and far-seeing
man. He realized that his usurpation
Of the English throne was very RAD
ical departure in governmental ex-
pertinent. to say the least; and he was
anxious to mould the people, whom
he had made his yassals by dint Of
the strong hand, into as close dupli-
Gates of the French as possible. In
other words. he strove to implant the
French ideals into the English char
acter as deeply as circumstances per.
mitted. The complicated heraldic rec
ords found in the pages of the famous
''Doomsday Book is undoubtedly the
best evidence that the King wished
to make his radical campaign of perm
anent record. and hence a great num-
her Of men of education and ability
were occupied in diligently surveying
and noting all the land and water con-
dtoEs Of England. They also in these
visitations made lengthy entries as to

OF his presidency. and the package
was sealed with the Washington fam
lily arms. as is indicated iu q letter
which reads:
- THE arms enclosed In your letter
are the same that are held by the
family here; though / have also seen,
and have used, as you may perceive
by the seal to this packet, = flying
griffin for the crest"
The Washington crest, "a raven is
suing from ducal coronet, gold" was
evidently given because Of the sports:
manship Of the early English Wash
1ngtons. In fact the crow, falcon and
hawk have been for more than four
hundred years the emblem OF sport.
The pastime of hawking was engaged
in only by the wealthy and the Wash
fngtons were noted for their love OF
hunting and sporting. Benson T.
Losing lent some color to the fore
going conclusion when he wrote Of
the English Washingtons:
For more than two hundred years
the De Wessyngtons, or Washingtons,
were conspiring after their kind (robi
Der knights) fighting, hawking ca
rousing and gaming"
This grant Of the raven was In 1900,
at about the same time that hawking
was at its height as sport, for at
about the same period we find that
in Spain the son of Columbus atempt-
ed to prove that his father was of
aristocratic and also of heraldic fam.
lily in that "he was of q people who
kept their own hawks" This alone,
in those days, stamped the man as
falconer, as only people Of high social
standing were permitted by license to
engage in that enjoyment; hence a
raven, a falcon, crow or hawk on
the shield or crest indicated promi-
hence. This sporty and hunting dis
position of the Washingtons was dis
tinctly manifested in the Washingtons
of Virginia, of which our first presi-
dent also gave liberal expression.
There are five distinct Washington
shields, but in the heraldic records
they are pronounced of the same
origin, as follows:
A silver (argent) shield upon which
are two red (gules) bars; in the top
(chief) three red mullets (spurs of
knights boots).
A red (gules) shield with a single

These constituted the heraldic arms
OF all Washington people as recorded
In the English College of Heralds.
Washington was fond of genealogi-
cal Investigations, and in the College
of Heralds can be seen a score or
more Of pages he wrote at various
times in his eager search after family
arms and crests. He was proud of his

quency with which he blazoned the
Washington shields upon his choice
tokens and valuahles.
Many such instances may be noted
in his heraldic watch charms, his sew
eral personal seals; the doors of his
carriages; the porcelain of his dinner
set; the oliver ware of his liquor serv
ice; the fireplace and the mirrors; the
picture frames and his library walls;
his bookplate and his saddle. and
practically everything upon which
family signature or shield might be
engraved, painted or printed.
The illness of Sir Isaac Heard, the
head of the English department Of
heraldry, closed the correspondence
relating to Washington's eager at
tempt to prepare Washington gen.
ealogy and origin and evolution of the
family coat-of-arms This interesting
correspondence has never yet been
scripturally reproduced, and it is to be
regretted that a continuance of the
investigation was disturbed by illness,
since many disputed biographical
problems would doubtless have been
| solved.

ed the statement as cor
rect. The English poet
was misled by his fervid
fancy, for the Heralds'
College at London, the
highest authority on
British heraldry, writes
as follows: "A Washing
ton shield with stars and
stripes (pales) has never
been Of record" It
is altogether probable
that Topper, as Well
as others, was deceived
by the shape of the
"mullets." These spurs,

preme. A decline In their
fortunes then appears to
have taken place, for In
1920, the year the Pill
grims set sail for Amer
lea, the Washingtons
were practically driven
from the Sulgrave estate
to take up residence at
Brighton with minor ma
nors and holdings. The
loss of the hundreds of
acres of rich meadows
and harvest fields was
in a measure counter
acted by the marriage of
a Sir William Washing
ton to a sister Of George
Villiars, Duke Of Buck
ingham. This union
brought about new al.
liances and affiliations
which made Washing
tons possible in Amer.
lea, and ultimately led
to the rearing of George
Washington to be the
military leader Of the
colonies and eventually
our first chief executive.

colony OF virginia was
his birthplace, but the true name
of his male ancestors was not Wash
ington. This may seem a sweeping
statement in the light of generally &C.
copied history. but careful research
has established beyond doubt that
the ancient founder of the family from
which came the Father of our Country
was named William De Hertburn. The
key to this apparent paradox lies In
the fact that, in common with many
noblemen and monarchs Of Europe,
the first president possessed an estate
name and real or family name, the
latter being known as the patronymic,
or paternal name.
The first Washingtons we're of
French, and not English, origin, and
were numbered among the powerful
knights of the northern portion Of
France. When the Duke Of Normandy
conceived the ambition of becoming
King of England he called to his aid
the Catholics of France, and among
those who responded to his appeal was
an ancestor Of George Washington.
The duke gathered his soldiers about
him and announced that by right and
promise he deserved and intended to
be the new King of England. His spir-
tied address had the desired effect
and the knights and. their vassals
thronged to the standard until there
was soon gathered under the leader
ship of William, Duke of Normandy,
the greatest army France had ever
mustered, ready for the field and
thtrsting for the glories Of conquest.
Among the many banners thrown to
the breeze appeared the shield of the
multi- great-grandfather of our own
George Washington. His name was
William de Hertburn. The 10000 fol-
lowers of the duke set sail in 5000
vessels of war for the English coast
and landed without OPPOSITION, because
of the English King Harold's conflict
with the Norwegians in another part
Of his invaded domains. On October
IA, 1866. the rival armies met, and on
the field of Hastings took place one of
the most terrific battles in the history

queer part of it all is that the police
are sure they will convict him, though
