Which It very nearly is!
IT Is curious fact that in the 200 years that
] have elapsed since Mary Bali gave birth to
her distinguished son there has arisen only .
single Washington from this branch Of the
family who inherited his talents either as
statesman, soldier or political leader, down to the
present generation, from which a new star gives
promise Of ascending Since Bushrod Washing
ton, a nephew Of George Washington, stood out
among his fellows in the nineteenth century
as eminent jurist, serving for 81 years as an
associate justice of the Supreme Court OF the
United States, the illustrious pages Of the
worlds Who's Who have been innocent Of the
name of Washington which could be traced to
the great heros own family.
There was q statesman in the last century,
Representative Joseph E. Washington Of Ten
nessee, who is recorded, but he comes from
another branch. 1t is only now-200 years
since that day that George Washington's name
was first written on the Book of Life and 100
years since his nephews career drew to its close
that the name Of member Of Washington's
own clan again promises to stand out in bold
faced type Young Samuel Walter Washington,
lineal descendant Of Washingtons brother Sam
uel, who stands on the threshold of q most
promising career in the diplomatic corps, Is
the rising star" Before reaching the age of 80,
this young man succeeded in distinguishing
himself not only as a diplomat of great promise
and high integrity, but as an American citizen
who does honor to the famous name he bears.
1t was S. Walter Washington, as he IS known,
who on his first assignment in the diplomatic
branch of the Foreign Service in 1890. found
himself in charge Of the American embassy at
Rio de Janeiro when a revolution broke out in
Brazil converging northward on Rio and Gre
ating, incidentally an international situation
that required tact and delicacy to handle
properly. Ambassador Edwin v. Morgan was
out of the country at the time and the entire
burden of responsibility devolved upon the
shoulders of the ''youngster" of the corps He
handled it in such manner as to merit high
commendation from officials at Washington
as well as from those with whom he came in
contact abroad.
Shortly thereafter he was sent to the Far
East to serve as third secretary at the impor-
tant Toxic post. While he was turning diplo-
matte phrases with just the proper shade of
meaning to avoid entanglements no doubt his
word-wise relative of long ago looked down and
smiled. "Well done!"

outskirts OF Charles Town, where many WASH
ingtons have lived and died. Claymont Court
built for Bushrod Corbin Washington in the
early nineteenth century, Is one of the most
beautiful old homes In the Virginias. Its gar
dens are said to be among the most beautiful
Colonial gardens In existence today One
drives for nearly q mile through the giant
oaks and then suddenly Is discovered this gor-
geous old mansion, ivy covered and serene in
its seclusion, . fitting descendant" itself of
our beloved Washington.
There are several Bushrod Washingtons lv-
ing today, but whether any or all are lineal
descendants Of the original owner of Claymont
Court is undetermined All are descended from
the same brother Of George Washington, John
Augustine, according to records, 50, no doubt,
one of them IS the great-grandson Of Bushrod
Corbin Washington, who lived at Claymont

today In NorTistown, Pa; there is q Mrs. Bush

OF the hundreds Of George Washingtons
living at present. only two are known to be
direct kin Of the first George-George L.
Washington Of Overlook, Pa, descended from
Samuel, and George s. washington of River
ton, N. j., another lneal descendant of Sam
uel There is. in addition. a Mrs. George Wash
ington Of Hot Springs, Va, whose husband
traces his descent to George Washingtons
father, although through which brother is un-
determined ON the Bicentennial records.
One living relative bears the name Of George
Washington's sister, Miss Elizabeth Washing
ton. The present Elizabeth resides in Phila-
delphia, and Is said to trace her descent from
Samuel.
Two John Augustines, one Of whom also
is Samuels descendant, are recorded by Mrs.
Rose Gouverneur Hooes, who has charge Of
these genealogical records at the Bicentennial
Commission headquarters. These are Mr.. John
Augustine Washington OF Charles Town, w. Va.
and DR.. John Augustine Washington of Bal
timore, Md The latter's descent is not re-
corded.
Washington's half-brother Lawrence has five
namesakes today who are thought to have de-
scended from the generals tree. They are
Lawrence Washington Of North Fork, W. Va:

IT Is interesting 70 note that this young WASH
] ington's home, Hardwood in Charles Town,
where his mother, Mrs. s. Walter Washington,
now resides, Is the home which belonged
originally to Samuel Washington: that the
house, built in the eighteenth century, is now
in the hands Of the sixth generation Of the same
family. having never passed out Of the posses
sion of Samuels direct descendants. Harewood
is undoubtedly one of the few early American
homes which boast such direct line of de-
scent.
There Is another Washington estate with q
similar record, though not so long. This is the
seat of the Joseph E. Washingtons and the
George Augustine Washingtons near Nashville.
Tenn. with its two great mansions, Wessyngton
and Washington Hall Mr.. Joseph E. Wash
ington, who was q member Of Congress from
1886 to 1896, and whose widow now resides in
Washington d. c., was the owner Of Wessyng-
ton, built by his grandfather in 1919. while
his brother George A. Washington still owns
and occupies Washington Hall, built on that
portion Of the property inherited by him.
THE washington family in Tennessee Is not
] descended from George Washingtons branch
but from cousin of George washington's
great-grandfather John Washington, this
cousins name also being John. The Tennessee
Washington clan gathers in such numbers In

To return to Harewood, Samuel Washing
toms son, Steptoe Washington. married the
sister Of Dolly Madison and they once lived
in the ancestral mansion, during which period
another famous romance eliminated within
its portals-none other than that of the in
imitable Dolly herself. It is pretty tale
When Dolly the beautiful young widow, was
the toast of Philadelphia, so the story goes,
in the days when the Quaker City was the
Capital of the United States, and George Wash
ington was President, she CHANGED one day
to cross the path Of q certain love-proof bach
elor, Jimmie" Madison, then in Congress from
Virginia, who was standing on the sidewalk
talking to Aaron Burr.
Jimmie's eye took in the charming picture
as she passed. Turning to his companion, he
demanded the name of that beautiful woman" ;"
THAT" replied Burr. "is the widow Todd"
adding something to the effect that Jimmie
was not the only one who had discovered her
but perhaps the only one who hadn't. His
chances, he declared, with . sly wink, would
be about million to one.
The impervious Madison shrugged, indicating
Evening star., 1932-02-21

bland indifference, but nevertheless
suggested that he be presen.s..
Having the soul of matchmake-',
the accommodating Aaron lost no
time in arranging meeting. That
was enough. 1t was case of vio-
lent love at first sight despite the
fact that the lady was II years
Madison's junior.
Mistress Dolly had no mind to be
too easily won, however, and JIM
mie was kept in hot water for fear
she would cast her favors elsewhere
until he took firm hand upon
opportunity offered by fate. Dolly
decided to 60 to Hardwood to visit
her sister, Lucy, planning to make
the trip from Philadelphia to
Charles Town In her own carriage
Jimmie seized upon the opportu-
nifty to become the beauty's pro-
tector, also to protect his own in
terests against the possible invasion
Of Virginia rivals. He made the
entire journey on horseback and,
while there, pressed his suit SO
ardently that the lady capitulated
and he two were married in the

But he left plenty OF KIN to carry n
on the name of Washington. His
living relatives, those actually
descended from his own branch OF the wash
ington family tree-from his brothers and SIS
ter-number into the thousands. it is estimated
by the George Washington Bicentennial Com
mission, which already has collected data on
more than 422 living Washington kin.
And this does not take into account wash
1ngton's maternal relatives, descendants OF the
famous Ball-Montague line, who are quite an
army in themselves Nor does it consider the
collateral branches of the Washington family
descended from the immigrant John, from
whom the Revolutionary hero was sprung, or
from his brother, Lawrence, who established
another long and numerous line.
So, it can be seen, the subject OF George
Washugtons kin Is a broad and comprehen-
sive one which reaches literally to all corners
Of the United States as well as abroad, where
are buried the roots Of the tree. 1t would be
impossible to tell the whole story in volume,
much less q single page. The work OF lifetime
would be required to gather up all the threads
If, indeed, it could be done at all, for while
historians and genealogists have devoted them
selves exhaustively to the study of the ante
cedents of the Father Of His Country, little has
been written of those who followed after, since
none followed directly in his line

Augustine Washington, but not Augustines
eldest child, for he had been married to Jane
Butler before he wed Washington's mother. Two
children reached maturity by the first marriage
Lawrence and Augustine small daughter
and a SON died in early youth. AS far as the
writer has been able to learn, neither Lawrence
nor Augustine has any living descendants.
Lawrence had one daughter, who died at an
early age.
So it would seem that Washington's closest
kin today on his paternal side are the de-
scendants of his own brothers and his sister,
Betty Washington Lewis (who married Fielding
Lewis of Kenmore). OF these, the majority
surviving today, far as records reveal, seem to
be descended from Samuel, John Augustine and
Betty although Charles had several children.
Charles and Samuel both settled in Charles
Town, w. Va. In fact, while Brother Charles
founded the town which bears his name, it was
left to Brother Samuel to populate it! Samuel.

offspring

Tennessee's War of the Roses

Tennessee'S War of the Roses
The gubernatorial contest in
Tennessee in 1886 presented an
unusual spectacle The Demo-
cratic nominee was Robert L. Tay-
lor, while the Republican choice
was his brother A. A. The active
political campaign of the two
brothers did not in the least con-
flict with their genuine brother
ly affection.
Their discussions revolved
around federal matters rather
than affairs of the state.
This curious campaign of "Our
Bob and ALT" is remembered in
Tennessee as the War of the
Roses" The Democratic campaign
emblem was the White Rose of
York, while the Republicans
opposed to them were adorned
with the Red Rose of Lancaster.
Robert L. was elected in 1886,
but his Republican opponent was
elected governor "a years later, in
1920.
