erVatlon 1t forms a point of considerable interest
containing. as it does, three memorial brasses on
the gray stone slab put down in memory of Lau-
renee Washington and his family These brasses
consist Of Laurence Washington's efigy a shield
bearing the Washington arms, and the following
inscription:
Here lyeth buried ye bodys of Laurence Wash
ngto, Gent G. Anne his wyf by whom he had
issue fiji sons and il daughts laurence Dyed ye
day . . ano Is & Anne De-
ceased the vi of October ano Dni 1864"
Apparently Laurence Washington, greatgreat-
great grandfather of George Washington. devised
this monument a memorial his wife, leav
ing the date of his own death blank to be filled
in after his death. This, however has never been
done.
Two other records of the Washingtons
found in the village of Bringon. In this little
township not far distant from Northampton,
stands the house to which the family moved from
Sulgrave. 1t was in this house that Robert Wash
ington died in 1922, and in the yard, engraved
upon a sundial. is found the Washington coat of
arms.
In the Church of All Saints near at hand. where
Robert Washington is buried, Inscription reads
follows:
Here lies inferred ye bodies of Elijah Wash
ington widowe, who changed this life for mmor-
talitie We 18th day of March, 1922 AS also ye
body of Robert Washington. Gent. her late hus-
band second some of Robert Washington of Sol
grave in ye County of North, Esqr. who depted
this life we 10th of March. 1922, after they lived
lovingly together"
Laurence Washington, grandson of the Lau-
renee of Sulgrave, died in 1916 and is also buried
here.
Unfortunately little of the village of Sulgrave
as 1t was in the days OF the Washingtons now re-
mains. disastrous fire in 1915 swept the viii
lage. and only relic may be seen here and there
in an ancient house. Most of the streets set
with neat brick houses. Coming toward the
Church of All Saints one might fancy oneself in

First to Die for Liberty

1t would be difficult to say who the first
killed in the Revolutionary war. The spirit OF
revolt prevailed and collisions between the
people and British soldiers occurred before the
actually began. The battle of Concord
Cured more than year before the Declaration OF
independence, but there bloodshed before the
battle of Concord. One of the earliest of these
collisions the so-caled Boston massacre,
March 5. 1910, in which British soldiers fired upon
citizens, killing three and wounding eight. The
