AFTER a century of spasmodic research, the history of the ancestry of Washington cannot be written with accuracy or fulness. The records available are few and disconnected, and until the year 1889 an import­ ant link in the chain was wanting. The old pedigree had been discredited, and a new could not be framed. It was not even known in what part of England the needed evidence on which to base the new tree could be looked for, and in _this wide field investigators must grope their way. It was idle to conjecture, for one guess was as good as another. Trickery and forgery were brought into the question, and the usual accompanying nonsense, which have thrown so much. discredit upon genealogical writing. Nothing short of heroic origin must satisfy these charlatans ; and so· Odin is made the ancestor of Washington, and Rurik of Hamilton; and all between is composed of facts where they can be found, of manufactured evidence where required, and of stupid and clumsy compilation where the imagination failed. The result comes into the market to gull the public and mystify the reader; while clouding the subject for the student. I propose in this place to summarize what has been obtained in the century of investigation, eliminating, as far as 3 4 possible, conjecture ; or so distinguishing the assured from the doubtful, that no error can arise. In this, there is little original investigation, and the labors of others are freely drawn--upon, full credit being given to each individual worker. In December, 1791, Sir Isaac Heard, then Garter King of Arms in London, wrote to Washington, that he had investigated the English ancestry of the President, and desired to complete his record with such particulars as could be furnished by the family in America.. To gratify this request, Washington addressed a number of his relations, asking them to supply what information they could, copies of wills, inscriptions on tombstones, and any documents that could throw light upon the matter.1 From such re­ plies as he received, Washington drew up' a paper, naturally imperfect, and confined to the immigrants into Virginia and their descendants. Of the English ancestry the President could only give a hint : " I have often heard others of the family, older than my­ self, say, that our ancestor, who first settled in this country,camefrom some one of the northern counties of England.; but whether from Lancashire, Yorkshire, or one still more northerly, I do not precisely remember." 2 From the material at hand, Sir Isaac prepared a ten­ tative genealogical table, which was sent to Mount Vernon ; but Sir Isaac became unable to pursue the matter, and it was left in this incomplete condition. 1 See Vol. XIII., 444. ' Washington to Sir Isaac Heard, 2 May, r792. The letter is printed in Sparks, Writings of Washington, i., 546. 5 It was ascertained, however, that t,vo brothers were the first of the family to en1igrate, settling in Virginia. Washington believed that they came over about 1657, and started from the north of England. Sir Isaac found recorded in the Visitation of North­ amptonshire of 1618.., the names of John and Law­ rence Washington, described as sons of Lawrence Washington of Sulgrave, who had died in 1616. The year and the identity of names led Sir Isaac to be­ lieve that these ,vere the brothers who emigrated, and he traced ~he descent of the President through this family of Northatnptonshire, from one still more ancient in Lancashire. This pedigree did not com­ pletely satisfy Sir Isaac, who regarded it as conjectu­ ral, and left a note distinctly stating that he was by no means certain if the connection with the Sulgrave family was, or even could be, substantiated. When Baker prepared his history of Northamptonshire, he adopted the results obtained by Sir Isaac, but omitted to express any doubt of its finality. He asserted that the emigrant John, son of Lawrence Washington of Sulgrave, was of South Cave, co. York ; and that his brother Lawrence was a student at Oxford in 1622, afterwards emigrating to America. This pedi­ gree of Baker's, passing into other compilations as authoritative, came to be received as definite and complete. Mr. Sparks, when co1npiling the Writings of Washington, had access to all the manuscripts of Sir Isaac Heard, and, with the assistance of some county histories, prepared a staten1ent of the "origin 6 and genealogy of the Washington family." This account was published in the appendix to his first volume; and while adding little of value to ,vhat the Garter King of Arms had discovered, became the basis of subsequent investigation ; while the extended circulation of the volumes stamped the pedigree as of high authority. An important link was, however, wanting. Sir Isaac Heard thought the emigrants came from Northamptonshire, and traced their ances­ tors to Lancashire. Mr. Sparks found a parish, called Washington, in Durham, where persons of the name had resided towards the close of the twelfth cen­ tury. It was supposed that the holder of the manor, William de Hertburn, or some descendant, assumed the local name. A- William de W essyngton was recorded as 9-· witness about the middle of the t_hir­ 1 teenth century. · Before I 400 the manor had passed out of the male line of the family. Such remote and disconnected facts were of little. service in determi­ ning the ancestors of the President in a direct line, and Mr. Sparks, making a long leap from these early records, located these ancestors in \tVhitfield and Wharton, in the county of Lancaster.2 In 1860 a contribution to the subject was made by the rector of Brington, in Northamptonshire, in a 1 In the Visitation of Yorkshire, 1563 and 1564 (Harleian Society), \Villiam Mallory, of Stodley, married Dyonis, daughter and heir of Sir \Villiam Tem­ pest, Knight,, by Eleanor, daughter and heiress of Sir \Villiam de \Veshington.

    Key Facts About Kenmore, Ferry Farm, and the Washington and Lewis Families

    Key Facts about Kenmore, Ferry Farm, and the Washington and Lewis families. The George Washington Foundation The Foundation owns and operates Ferry Farm and Historic Kenmore. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Foundation (then known as the Kenmore Association) was formed in 1922 in order to purchase Kenmore. The Foundation purchased Ferry Farm in 1996. Historic Kenmore Kenmore was built by Fielding Lewis and his wife, Betty Washington Lewis (George Washington’s sister). Fielding Lewis was a wealthy merchant, planter, and prominent member of the gentry in Fredericksburg. Construction of Kenmore started in 1769 and the family moved into their new home in the fall of 1775. Fielding Lewis' Fredericksburg plantation was once 1,270 acres in size. Today, the house sits on just one city block (approximately 3 acres). Kenmore is noted for its eighteenth-century, decorative plasterwork ceilings, created by a craftsman identified only as "The Stucco Man." In Fielding Lewis' time, the major crops on the plantation were corn and wheat. Fielding was not a major tobacco producer. When Fielding died in 1781, the property was willed to Fielding's first-born son, John. Betty remained on the plantation for another 14 years. The name "Kenmore" was first used by Samuel Gordon, who purchased the house and 200 acres in 1819. Kenmore was directly in the line of fire between opposing forces in the Battle of Fredericksburg in 1862 during the Civil War and took at least seven cannonball hits. Kenmore was used as a field hospital for approximately three weeks during the Civil War Battle of the Wilderness in 1864.

His guardian, Nicholas Spencer, who was the Secretary of the Virginia Colony for ten years from 1679-1689 was "second in rank only to the Governor." Francis received an education for the law and visited England with his Uncle Nicholas Spencer. (Francis Wright’s mother, Anne Mottrom Wright, was sister to Frances Mottrom Spencer who married Nicholas Spencer.) Property: When Francis Wright was 18 years old he received 1400 acres fronting the Potomac river and flanked by Nomini bay and Lower Machodoc river where he lived for 35 years making improvements. He started serving as justice of the peace of the county Westmoreland, Virginia around age 24. He married Anne Washington, sister of Lawrence Washington (grandfather of Pres. George Washington). She received an inheritance of 1400 acres also. Character: Francis Wright “was active, influential and comfortable, always appearing in the records as a man who upheld the prestige of his caste and insisted upon his rights; but, as to his service in official positions, he has left evidence of that consideration for others less fortunate than himself which characterizes a true gentleman” (Hoppin 155).
