    Nathaniel Pope

  1. Birth: 1603, Gloustershire, England

  2. Nathaniel Pope is first mentioned as one of the twenty-four freeman of the "Grand Inquest" in Maryland in 1637 and in the Assembly afterward. He affixed a mark to his writings. In 1643 he and his nine menial servants were exempted from military service. He was sent as an agent by Governor Leonard Calvert to Kent Island in 1647, and attempted, as charged, to persuade the rebels against the Proprietary there to come and live at Mattox Neck until they should become strong enough to seize the land again. 
    After removing from Maryland, Nathaniel Pope, in 1651, patented 1,050 acres (4.2 km2) in Old Northumberland between two large creeks; one would bear his name. 

    At Mattox Creek he built dwellings, warehouses, and docks for the merchant trade with England including the port of Bristol. He shipped beaver, tobacco with caske, and raw materials; and he imported English manufactured goods. He settled the argument between John Washington and shipping partner Edward Prescott by paying off the senior officer in Beaver skins at eight shillings per pound. In 1655 he was made Lieutenant-Colonel in the militia.

    The elder Nathaniel was among the county's wealthiest residents at his death in 1660 when he left The Clifts tract to his son Thomas.[8] The Pope and Washington families were bound by more than blood, county documents are filled with their business and legal ties. The will of John Washington bequeaths 1000 pounds sterling to his brother-in-law Thomas Pope.


    Thomas Pope, a "planter of Westmoreland" and "merchant of Bristol," died in Bristol, leaving a wife, Joanna, and sons, Thomas, Richard, Charles, John, and Nathaniel. Later, Justice of Westmoreland, Lawrence Washington “refused to give his Judgmnt” on this estate (Will dated September 3, 1684) because he and his father John were trustees of  “said Estate.” On February 28, 1710, Joanna Pope, of Bristol, authorized Thomas Wills, merchant, and Nathaniel Pope, mariner, to dispose of the plantation known as "the Clifts". The letter of attorney describes her son as "Nathanial Pope of Pope's Creek." This Nathaniel, appeared in the county's records for the first time in 1704 when he married the daughter of a Westmoreland Justice of the Peace, William Pierce. In 1716, Joanna and son Richard Pope sold the Clifts, including what was referred to in the deed as “the manner house erected on the second”; to Thomas Lee. 
    Even as the Popes and Washingtons had circulated among the members of Westmoreland County's political gentry, Lee's family had made their name known throughout the colony of Virginia for two generations. In the year 1729, Lee lived at his father's plantation on Lower Machodoc Creek, when the dwelling burned down. After that he erected the brick mansion, now known as Stratford Hall, on the Clifts tract about a quarter mile from the original site. Thomas Lee became a member of the Governor's Council and served as acting governor of the colony in 1749[8] when William Gooch returned to England.
    Mary (Lisson) Pope, alias Bridges, gave a calf to her son Nathaniel Pope, alias Bridges, in 1675. As Mary Nicholas, widow of Lewis Nicholas, she made presents in 1677 to her son Nathaniel Pope, alias Bridges, and to her son Lewis Nicholas. She married again, Daniel Whitley, who promised to keep her children "so farre at school as to write and reade". Mary Nicholas refers to her brother and sister, Captain Daniel Sisson and Jane, his wife. The will of John Rosier (will, September-October,1705) leaves land to Nathaniel Pope, clerk of Stafford and practitioner at law; and the rest of the estate is given to his wife, Mary Rosier, who was Mary Pope, alias Bridges. 
    Two Nathaniel Popes were in the same area around the year 1700, both grandsons of the original patentee. Nathaniel alias Bridges (through the early death of Nathaniel II) was an established Westmoreland attorney in 1705, guardian of Nathaniel Washington in 1708, while the mariner Nathaniel was first recorded as married in 1704. They are further connected when Nathaniel alias Bridges’ son John married his cousin Elizabeth (Pierce) Pope, daughter of the mariner/merchant Nathaniel, making the identification by alias significant. This identifies the Pope family artifact unearthed at George Washington’s birthplace, a wine bottle seal marked "N. Pope 1715," as belonging to Nathaniel alias Bridges. Jane Brooks (Higdon) Brown was the sister of Lydia Abbington.[14] Her daughter Jane married Nathaniel Pope alias Bridges about 1690.[13] The son of Nathaniel and Jane (Brown) Pope is listed as John Pope, “Planter” in 1728 when Augustine Washington purchased his mill “for 60 Pounds current Virginia money two acres with the appurtenances together with the mill thereon erected & built scituate [several miles upstream] at the head of Popes Creek.” Augustine added to the property the road called "Lord’s rolling road," the descriptive terminology derived from rolling hogsheads of tobacco down to the Potomac, The mill would remain in the Washington family until after the Civil War.[

    Slavery at Popes Creek Plantation
    Arrival of the First Africans in Virginia
    In 1619, a Dutch frigate docked at Point Comfort, Virginia. In exchange for provisions, the captain traded about twenty Africans. Initially these immigrants were indentured servants. However, within a matter of years, succeeding Africans were enslaved.

    African slavery was soon established throughout the British colonies in America. In the decades that followed, more and more Africans arrived in Virginia. By the time of George Washington’s birth, more than fifty percent of Virginia’s population was black.

    New World Slavery
    Slavery existed worldwide for thousands of years and was practiced throughout many empires, nations, and tribes. Race, creed, sex, color, religion, and the wages of war determined enslavement at any given time in history.

    Dutch and Portuguese ships bought enslaved Africans, who had been taken prisoners of war between African tribes, to the New World. The Africans arriving in the English colonies were not the first slaves in this hemisphere. South and Central Americans enslaved one another. The Spanish in the West Indies enslaved Native Americans and Africans for labor.

    European indentured servants came to Virginia in unlimited numbers. They, however, were freed from their bondage after working for a number of years to pay off their passage to the New World. Enslaving Africans solved Virginia’s labor shortage. Unlike indentured servants, Africans had little hope of attaining freedom.

    Tobacco – A Way of Life
    Popes Creek Plantation was one of many along the Chesapeake Bay region’s “Tobacco Coast.” Tobacco brought Virginia, Maryland and Britain great wealth. Tobacco was in high demand, stored easily, and served as currency, a bartering tool, and the primary colonial export.

    Tobacco was an extremely labor intensive crop, requiring one able-bodied man to tend every acre cultivated. Tobacco was prone to a variety of pests and diseases, and it rapidly depleted the soil of nutrients.

    Tobacco cultivation was a four-season operation. Fields had to be cleared and tilled, and seeds had to be planted late in the winter in cold frames. Once the tiny plants were transplanted to the fields, they required constant care. Slaves weeded, wormed, and suckered the plants. The tobacco was harvested and then hung on sticks in tobacco houses to cure. Afterwards, it was packed into huge hogshead barrels for shipping.

    Popes Creek Plantation
    A planter’s wealth was measured in part by the number of slaves he owned. In the 1730’s a healthy worker was worth 30-35 pounds. When Augustine Washington, George’s father, died in 1743, his property inventory included sixty-four slaves, who were distributed across his various estates.

    This inventory reveals names, sex, age, and estimated value of each slave. Familial relationships were rarely noted. Twenty or so slaves worked the fields and household of the Washington’s Popes Creek tobacco farm during the early years of George Washington’s life. Annually, Augustine Washington’s slaves raised ten to fifteen acres of tobacco.

    Crafts and Skills
    Most of the Popes Creek slaves were needed in the tobacco fields. Some developed specialized skills or acted as domestic servants. On the plantation, important craftsmen included the cooper, who made the barrels in which the tobacco was packed and shipped, and the blacksmith, who made nails, repaired tools, and shod animals.

    Some slaves learned to make and repair shoes, furniture, and dishes. Among house servants were cooks, grooms, laundresses, seamstresses, and housemaids.

    On small plantations like Popes Creek, buying goods and services from traveling tradesmen or ships was preferable to assigning workers tasks unrelated to producing the cash crop (tobacco) or keeping food on the table.

    Archaeology
    Recent archaeological research has identified at least two of Augustine Washington’s field slave quarters as well as some additional promising sites. These structures appear to have been originally occupied by earlier landowners then converted to slave use when the planters’ constructed new, larger dwellings for themselves. Additional research is planned to learn more about the lives of the Washington family slaves.

     

    The long list of  Pope descendents who went into US politics

    Nathaniel Pope was engaged in the export of tobacco and raw materials and paid the passage to the colony of Virginia for countless people later indentured to him.

    Nathaniel Pope had a brother, Thomas, who also immigrated to the Westmoreland County area, purchased land that was surveyed by John Quisenberry and whose daughter, Anna Pope, married the latter. http://kyusa.addr.com/Quesenberry/

    Apparently Thomas Pope also had a son, Humphrey, as the above source also gives the following data:
    [[---Humphrey Pope appears as surety on a bond of John Quisenberry in Rappahonnoch, (now Richmond County) dated may 12, 1656. He obtained a deed from Thomas Pope for 150 acres near cliffs in Westmoreland County, February 2, 1659.
    ---HUMPHREY POPE appears as surity on a bond of John Quisenberry in Rappahannock (now Richmond) county, dated May 12,1663" FACT: The ACTUAL date of this document is May 12, 1683. (Rapp. Deeds, Wills & Settlements, 1677-1687)
    ---States that Humphrey Pope was security for John Quisenberry "May 12, 1656" FACT: the correct date was 12 May 1683.]]

                        WASHINGTON AND HIS NEIGHBORS.

                                BY THE EDITOR.

       Until 1630 the settlements of the English in Virginia were confined to
    the Accomac Peninsula and the valley of the James.  In 1630 the first
    settlements were planted on the south side of the York River at Chiskiack
    and York.  Nearly about the same time, William Claiborne made a settle-
    ment in Kent Island, at the head of Chesapeake Bay.  The quarrel with
    Lord Baltimore caused many of the English settlers at Kent Island to plant
    on the neck between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers and Chickacoan,
    which became a point d'appuri for Claiborne and his friends.  In November,
    1645, the inhabitants of Chickacoan, or Northumberland county, as it was
    called in 1648, were represented in the House of Burgesses by Col. John
    Mottrom.  The war with the Indians, which broke out the year before,
    temporarily depressed the colonization of this section of the colony, and
    the treaty of peace in 1646 prohibited, till further order, all emigration
    to the north side of Charles (York) and Rappahannock Rivers. But this
    restriction was repealed in 1648, and immigrants in large numbers poured
    in from England, from Maryland, from New England, and old settled portions
    of Virginia.  In 1651 Gloucester county was formed out of territory be-
    tween the York and Pianketank Rivers, and the same year the country be-
    tween Pianketank and Dividing Creek was erected into the county of Lan-
    caster.  Thus, in that year York, Gloucester, Lancaster and Northumberland
    rose one above another on the water's front, with indefinite western
    frontiers.

       A study of the records of these counties affords some very interesting
    results.

       The settlers were of the merchant class, and the sea being to them, in-
    stead of a separation, a connecting bridge between England and Virginia,
    the plantations were mere suburbs of London and Bristol, the great colon-
    izing centres.

       In England at this time the trades were in high repute. The

    Page 29.

    younger sons of the English gentry resorted to the cities and became
    tailors, grocers, coopers, weavers, &c.  There could be no caste in Eng-
    land, since the proudest noble found himself compelled to treat with re-
    spect the class into which his younger sons were for a livelihood forced
    to enter.  These merchants, while not calling themselves "gentlemen",
    still clung to the coat-of-arms which descended from the gentlemanly
    ancestors.  The possession of land restored the old title of gentleman,
    and land was easy to get in Virginia.

       There was another distinction.  The term servant was also in repute,
    or, if not in repute, was not so offensive as to prevent the temporary
    assumption of that condition by many of the settlers for the benefit of
    protection from some more wealthy colonizer.  "Servant", too, was a very
    general term, and was applied to all apprentices, secretaries, and factors.
    A man often called his brother or nephew his servant.  The ward was said
    to be freed from his guardianship, and during his non-age the ward was a
    servant.  William Branthwait, a kinsman of Lord Baltimore, and Deputy-
    Governor of Maryland, married Eleanor Stevenson, a runaway servant girl
    of Sir Edmund Plowden(1).  All the early colonists of Virginia were
    servants of the London Company, and "constrayned to serve, as if they had
    been slaves, seven or eight years for their freedom", though "many of
    them were of Auneyent Howses and borne to estates of 1000 lbs. [in present
    money $25,000] by the year."

       Massachusetts offered a reward of L5 for every servant imported, and
    the Rev. John White, the friend of Governor Winthrop, wrote in 1632 that
    "the very scum of the earth was sent to New England"(2).  Surely, the
    word servant had a wide meaning.  It was the contradiction of the times
    to regard a servant as "scum", and yet to use the word without any other
    meaning than as employee; and men of the best quality freely entered into
    indentures of temporary servitude.

       Again, the published records of New England, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
    Virginia, etc., show that ignorance of letters was by no means confined
    to the lowly.  Two of William Penn's councillors could not write.  The
    records of Suffolk county, Mass., in which Boston is situated, are full
    of marks for signatures.

       The western part of Northumberland county was made into Westmoreland
    county in 1653, which was declared to run from Machotick River, "where
    Mr. Cole lives, and so upwards to the

    Page 30.

    falls of the great river of Potomac, above the Necostins town" (the
    present site of Washington), comprising the present counties of Westmore-
    land, Stafford, and Fairfax.

       The Mr. Cole mentioned in the act from the Maryland records seems to
    have come in as a "servant" to Father Andrew White about 1634, but had
    high notions of his importance.  His house on the Potomac was called
    "Salisbury Park", and he had stores of merchandise and many servants.  In
    1665 he is reported as saying in the presence of several gentlemen that
    "Sir William Berkley durst not show his face in England", that if the
    said Cole were in England he had better credit than his "Honor", that
    "He Expected his Brother to come in Governor who should kick his Honour
    from his place, And he should be a Councelor at Least, And then he would
    Act knavery by Authority"; that "he had formerly a better man (than
    Berkeley) for his pimpe, for a knight of Malta was his pimpe", etc.  As
    to his neighbors, "Hardwich and Hutt were rogues", and Washington "an
    ass-negroe-driver", whom he would have up before the governor and council,
    "as a Companie of Caterpillar fellowes" who "live upon my bills of ex-
    port".  When Richard Cole died in 1674, he required that his body be
    buried upon his plantation in a neat coffin of black walnut, and over it
    a gravestone of black marble to be sent for out of England "with my coate
    Armour engraven in brasse & under it this Epitaph:

                   Heere lies Dick Cole a grevious Sinner,
                   That died a Little before Dinner,
                   Yet hopes in Heaven to find a place,
                   To Satiate his soul wth Grace".(3)

       At the same place resided also about the same period "Col. Richard
    Lee(4) late of Stratford Langton in ye County of Essex in ye Kingdom of
    England, Esq.,"(5) and his eldest son Dr. John Lee, the former the
    ancestor of the patriot Robert E. Lee; Isaac Allerton(6), late of New
    England, Henry Corbin, son of Thomas Corbin, Esq., of Hall End, in War-
    wickshire, and brother of Gawin Corbin, "citizen and leather seller" of
    London, and Dr. Thomas Gerrard(7), who had been a councillor in Maryland
    and banished from there for taking part in the rebellion of Josias Fendall.

       The character of the society at Machodic was, as stated, truly suburban.
    In 1659, when Samuel Mathews was governor, John Gibbon was a visitor in
    the house of Richard Lee(8).  In this remote province his love or passion
    for heraldry found a signular gratification at a war dance of the native
    Indians, their shields of bark and naked bodies being painted with the colors and symbols of his favorite
    science.  Upon his return to England, Gibbon was made, in 1670, "Blue
    Mantle Pursuivant of Arms in the Heralds' College."  In his work styled,
    Introductio ad Latnian Blasoniam, he describes Lee as descended from the
    Lees of Shropshire, and his coat-of-arms as "Gul. a fess, chequy or, BI
    between 8 billets arg."  I find Gibbon's book in the published list of
    the books of Col. Richard Lee, the second of the name(9).

       The Englishmen on the banks of the Potomac mingled elegant pleasures
    with rude labors and perilous enterprises. There is a record of a contract
    in 1670 between John Lee, son of Col. Richard Lee, then deceased, Henry
    Corbin, Isaac Allerton, and Dr. Thomas Gerrard, for building a banqueting
    house at or near their respective lands(10). The English colonist acted
    as far as the circumstances would permit, precisely as he would in London.
    It was a rare thing if the richer settlers did not visit the mother country
    once during each year. Very different was this from the experience of
    the western trappers, of whom Daniel Boone was the pioneer, and who were
    truly isolated among the savages by the vast plains and mountain barriers.

       Some miles above Machodic, at Nomini Creek, resided Walter Brodhurst,
    who came to Virginia from Maryland about the same time as Dr. Gerrard,
    and was the son of William Brodhurst, Esq., of Lilleshall, Shropshire
    county, England; Edmund Brent, a kinsman of Col. Giles Brent, formerly
    Governor of Maryland, and afterwards of Stafford county(11); Nicholas
    Spencer, formerly of Cople, in Bedfordshire, and afterwards President of
    the Virginia council; Valentine Peyton(12), son of Henry Peyton, Esq., of
    Lincoln's Inn, Middlesex county, Eng., Major John Hallowes(18), or Hollis,
    formerly a carpenter and servant of Capt. Thomas Cornwallis, afterwards
    justice, colonel, burgess, etc.

       Above Nomini resided at Appomattox Creek (not Mattox) Col. John Washington, his father-in-law, Col. Nathaniel Pope, William Butler, the minister,
    and Andrew Monroe, who lived in Maryland, in 1643(14).

       Still further up the river, beyond Nomini, were Samuel Hayward(15),
    living at Chotank, in what is now Stafford county, and Col. Giles Brent(16)
    and his famous sister, Margaret Brent, at "Peace" on Acquia Creek.  Other
    settlers were Capt. John Ashton(17), Capt. John Lord, brother of Richard
    Lord, of Hartford, New England; Capt. William Hardwich, a tailor from

    William Baldridge(31).

       Of all these early immigrants, Col. John Washington, ancestor of the
    President, naturally attracts the most attention.  The records of West-
    moreland afford some conclusive evidence regarding him(32).

       Time of Arrival. - According to the deposition of William Meares, aged
    thirty-two, Washington arrived in Virginia in 1656, in the capacity of
    "second man" or mate to Edward Prescott, a merchant.  Mr. Stanrd errs in
    giving an earlier settlement.  The commission to which he refers does not
    contain the name of Washington, as he supposes.  This I know from careful
    personal examination.  But here it is:

           "4th April, 1655.  Comrs for ye County of Westmoreland,

       Mr. Thomas Speke,              Mr. John Dodman,
       Mr. Nathaniel Pope,            Mr. Gerrard ffowke,
       Mr. John Hallowes,             Mr. James Baldridge,
       Mr. Walter Brodhurst,          Mr. Alex Bainham,
       Mr. John  Hillier,             Lieut. Tho. Blagg.

         "These appointed by ye Governr & councell to be of ye Militia for ye
    said County of Westmoreland   Colonel Thomas Speke, Lieut Col. Nath:
    Pope, Major John Hallowes, Capt Tho Blagg, Capt Alex Bainham.
         "Vera copia Sack Brewer(33) 20 July 1655 this order was Recorded."

       The first letter of Major John Hollowes's name is written something like
    a "w", and probabaly it was this similarity that led Mr. Stanard into
    error.
     

       Age of Col. John Washington. - Mr. Stanard states(34) his age to be
    forty-five in 1674, but perhaps this cannot be positively affirmed,  The
    will of Richard Cole was proved June 24, 1674, and the affidavit of Col.
    Washington has reference to this will:

       "Deposition of Coll. John Washington, aged 45 years or thereabouts,
    Declareth that hee hath heard Mr. Richd Cole Deceased declare that hee had
    made a will, and give his whole estate to younge Mr. Nicholas Spencer and
    further saith not.  John Washington."

    Page 33.

       This paper is without date, but as the paper before it is dated 5 Jany,
    1675-6, I am inclined to think that the deposition was made about that
    time.  It is true that immediately following the Washington entry is one
    dated 12 February, 1674 (5), but the record, of course, could not be
    earlier than the date of the paper preceding.

       So Col. Washington was forty-five in 1676.  He died two years later.
    The assumed age harmonizes with Mr. Water's deductions, that John Washing-
    ton was the older son of his father, Rev. Lawrence Washington.  He was
    born about 1631, and his brother Lawrence about 1635, leaving a sufficient
    interval for the births of his sisters, Margaret and Martha Washington.

       The Arrival of Lawrence Washington. - W. H. Whitmore asks(35):  "Is
    there any evidence that Lawrence Washington was here before 1667?" the
    date of his land-grant.  There is.  It is not always kept in mind that a
    settlement in Virginia was not a severance from England.  It is altoghther
    probable that Lawrence Washington, as the family tradition affirms, did
    come with his brother John in 1656.  He was a merchant, and most merchants
    had storehouses in both England and Virginia.  Now, as a witness to the
    will of Colonel Nathaniel Pope, May 16, 1659, he must have been in Virginia
    that year.  Then, as marrying Mary Jones at Luton, County Bedford, he must
    have returned to England before January 26, 1660-'61.  Indeed, there is on
    record in Westmoreland a power of attorney from Gabriel Reve, of London,
    merchant, to "Lawrence Washington, of Luton, in County Bedford, merchant"
    to demand of the heirs, executors, or administrators of Colonel Nathaniel
    Pope, late merchant of Virginia, deceased, all debts due from Pope to
    Reve; which power of attorney is dated October 31, 1660, and was recorded
    February 4, 1661-'62, at the time of the recordation of this paper; and he
    probably brought his wife with him.

       Marriages of John Washington. - The will of Col. John Washington, the
    immigrant, speaks of a second wife; but it has been supposed that this
    wife (name unknown) preceded the marriage to Anne Pope.  I am satisfied
    that the first wife of Colonel Washington was Anne Pope, and that the
    second wife was Anne, widow of Walter Brodhurst.  But more than that, he
    had a third wife, whose existence has never been dreamed of - a widow,
    Frances, daughter of Colonel Valentine Peyton.  Now for the proof:  From
    the records it appears that Walter Brodhurst died between January 26 and
    February 12, 1659 - respectively the dates of making and of proving his
    will - and that Anne Pope was certainly the wife of Washington previous
    to May 11, 1659, when she received a gift from her father, Colonel
    Nathaniel Pope, under the name of Anne Pope, alias Washington."  But
    that she was not Walter Brodhurst's widow is shown by the record of a
    suit, September 20, 1659, in which this lady appears as "Anne, the relict
    and widow of Walter Brodhurst".  Ten days later Washington wrote to the
    Governor of Maryland that "all the company and gossips were invited to
    see his young son baptized", which could not have been more than eight
    months after the death of Walter Brodhurst.  The son was baptized during
    the marriage with Anne Pope; and it must be remembered that when Washing-
    ton came to Virginia in 1656, aged about twenty-five years, he stayed
    at the house of Colonel Nathaniel Pope, where, probably his affections
    ripened for her, and a marriage shortly afterwards ensued.

       But in 1670 appears this entry under a statement of accounts:

       "Wee whose names are here underneath subscribed according to order of
    Westmrland Court bearing dat the 28th of Septembr 1670, having pused the
    Genll & Pticular Accounts Exhibited unto us by Lt Coll John Washington
    who married Ann the relict of Mr Henry Brett late of y County Deced,
    wee hav Examined y whole Inventory & Debts of y said Henry Brett And we
    Doe finde that Mrs Ann Brett Washington hath paid beyond Assets the sum
    of sixteen thousand three hundred & twentie five pounds of tobacco &
    caske," etc., "as witness our hands this 3d of 9br 1670.  John Ashton,
    William Horton.  9th of 9ber 1670.  This Report with ye account Annexed
    to it was Recorded."

       In another place, under date of 31 May, 1671, Mr. Samuel Brett, of
    Plymouth, merchant, empowers certain persons to execute a discharge to
    "Lt Coll. Washington who intermarried with Mrs. Anne Brett ye Relict &
    administratrix of Henry Brett of Plimouth merchant deceased."

       An inspection of the will of Col. Washington, as published in the New
    England Historical and Genealogical Register, dated 21 Sept., 1675, and
    proved 10 Jan., 1677, clearly shows that the wife Anne therein mentioned
    was not the mother of the three children, Lawrence, John and Anne, but
    that the dead wife mentioned was.  Now who was the Anne Washington of
    the will?  No other than Anne, the widow of Walter Brodhurst, that in
    the interval since his death had picked up Mr. Henry Brett, who, like
    most of the leading Virginia merchants, had business in both countries.
    This is shown by a letter of Col. Chester to R. A. Brock, which contains
    a copy of an old document in the Diocesan registry at Litchfield,
    dated 12 April, 1678, evidencing that Walter Brodhurst, her son, was
    granted administration of "the goods of Anne Washington, alias Brodhurst,
    late of Washington parish in ye Countie of Westmrland in ye Country of
    Virginia".

       Now in Westmoreland there is recorded a marriage contract betwen Col.
    John Washington and Frances Appleton, widow of Capt. John Appleton (nee
    Frances Gerrard), dated 10 May, 1676, and of course Mrs. Anne Washington,
    the second, must have died previous to that date.

       The will of Henry Brett was probably recorded in England, and its
    discovery migiht lead to some further facts.

       In the letter to Mr. Brock, kindly furnished me, Col. Chester states
    that "one of his maxims is that there is nothing impossible in geneaolgy".
    And the narrative above seems to point that way.  What right had John
    Washington, the ancestor of the Father of his Country, to worry the
    genealogist in the manner he has done?  marry two Annes and then sur-
    reptitiously, as it were, slip in a third wife between the date and
    proof of his will?

       LANIER-BALL-WASHINGTON tradition.  QUARTERLY, III, 71, 137.  It ap-
    pears that Mr. Thomas M. Clemans, now deceased, communicated in 1890 to
    the New England Historical and Genealogical Register (Vol. 44, p. 307)
    a satisfactory answer to the inquiries of Mr. Hayden:  "In the records
    of Surry county, Virginia, we find that John Washington was betrothed
    in 1658 to Mary Flood, widow, whom he afterwards married.  She had
    previously married a Mr. Blunt, and after Mr. Washington's death she
    married Charles Ford, so she must have been a very attractive woman.  By
    Mrs. Flood he had one child, Richard Washington, who sold land in 1678
    and died in 1725.  He married Elizabeth Jordan, who died in 1755.  She
    was the daughter of Arthur Jordan, who died in 1698.  The children of
    the marriage were George, Richard, John, William, Thomas (died in 1749),
    Jane, Arthur, Elizabeth (married Samson and Robert Lanier), Priscilla,
    Faith, and Mary.  The estate of Mr. Washington was about three miles
    below the present town of Claremont, and about nine miles above James-
    town".  I have an abstract of the will of Mrs. Elizabeth Washington
    proved in 1738.  It mentions children, George, Thomas, Richard, John,
    William, James, Arthur, Elizabeth Lanier, Faith Barker, Mary Hart.  All
    of which shows that the tradition of the connection of the poet Sidney
    Lanier with the family of President Washington had no foundation in fact,
    and that, as Mr. Conway suggests, "the stories of Thomas
    Lanier's marriage to Elizabeth, an imaginary daughter of Col. John
    Washington, and Lewis Lanier's marriage to Miss Ball, an imaginary sis-
    ter of Mary Washington, are variants of one myth."

       The Gerrard Family. - Among the neighbors of the Washingtons none
    were more conspicuous than Dr. Thomas Gerrard.  His first wife, Susanna,
    was the daughter of Justinian Snow, one of the founders of Maryland and
    Lord Baltimore's factor in the Indian trade.  Abel Snow, a clerk in the
    chancery office, London, and Marmaduke Snow, were two other brothers(34).
    Dr. Gerrard was for a long time councillor, but was finally banished
    from Maryland for taking part in the insurrection of Josias Fendall in
    1659(35).  Before this he had provided a refuge in Virginia, having
    obtained on October 18, 1650, a patent for land, and naming among the
    headrights his wife Susanna Gerrard, and his children Susanna, Tem-
    perance, Frances, Justinian, and John Gerrard.  The same day Walter
    Brodhurst patented land next to William Hardwick, on the west side of
    "Poor Jack" Creek.  As Walter Brodhurst had a son Gerrard, it raises the
    suspicion that his wife, Anna, who afterwards married Col. Washington,
    was perhaps a daughter of Col. Thomas Gerrard, as well as Washington's
    third wife, Frances.

       Dr. Gerrard's wife, Susanna, died before 1672-'73, whereupon he
    married Rose, the widow of John Tucker, whose children were John, Ger-
    rard, Sarah (married William Fitzhugh) and Rose, to which children Ger-
    rard (then married to his second wife) made a gift.  John Tucker's will
    was dated 5 May, 1671, proved 31 May, 1671.  His two daughters were
    then under seventeen and unmarried.  Dr. Gerrard had five daughters and
    three sons:  1, Susanna (?) Gerrard married Robert Slye, Esq., of the
    Maryland Council; 2, Temperance Gerrard, married in 1666, 1st Daniel
    Hutt(37), formerly merchant of London, who (will, 3 March, 1673-24 June,
    1674) had Gerrard Hutt and Anne.  She married secondly about August,
    1675, John Crabbe; 3, Frances Gerrard married first Col. Thomas Speke
    (he died in 1659); married second Col. Valentine Peyton and had Gerrard
    Peyton, who died s.p. in 1687; third, Capt. John Appleton(38), who died
    between February 25, and April 12, 1676.  May 10 she entered into a
    marriage contract with Col. John Washington.  4, Mary; 5, Anne Brodhurst
    (?); 6, Justinian, called of "Brumley in Maryland", who married Sarah,
    widow of Wilkes Maunders; 7, John, who married

    Page 37.

    Elizabeth, and had John.  Elizabeth married secondly James Johnson, of
    Westmoreland, before July 27, 1678.  The widow Rose, relict of Dr.
    Thomas Gerrard, married secondly John Newton, who came from Maryland,
    and was the ancestor of the Newton family of Westmoreland.

       The Pope Family. - Nathaniel Pope appears as one of the twenty-four
    freeman of the "grand Inquest" in Maryland in 1637.  He affixed a mark
    to his writings.  In 1643 he and his nine menial servants were exempted
    from all military service.  Sent as agent to Kent Island in 1647, he
    attempted, as charged, to persuade the people there to come and live at
    Appomattox until they should become strong enough to seize the country
    again.  In 1656 he was made Lieutenant-Colonel.  He married Luce -----,
    and had: 1, Anne, who married John Washington; 2, Margaret, who married
    William Hardwich; 3, Thomas; 4, Nathaniel.

       Thomas Pope moved to the city of Bristol, where he died, leaving a
    wife, Joanna, and sons, Thomas, Richard, Charles, John, and Nathaniel.
    (Will dated September 3, 1684; proved October 20, 1685.  New Eng. Hist.
    and Geneal. Reg., Vol. XLIII., p. 417.)  On February 28, 1710, Joanna
    Pope, of Bristol, authorized Thomas Wills, merchant, and Nathaniel Pope,
    of Pope's Creek in Virginia, mariner, to dispose of the plantation com-
    monly called "the Clifts".  (Essex County Records).
     

       Mary Sissons Pope, alias Bridges, gave a calf to her son Nathaniel Pope,
    alias Bridges, in 1675.  As Mary Nicholas, widow of Lewis Nicholas, she
    made presents in 1677 to her son Nathaniel Pope, alias Bridges, and to
    her son Lewis Nicholas.  She married, 4thly, Daniel Whitley or Wickcliffe, who pro-
    mised to keep her children "so farre at school as to write and reade".
    Mary Nicholas refers to her brother and sister, Captain Daniel Lisson
    and Jane, his wife.  The will of John Rosier (will, September-October,
    1705) leaves land to Nathaniel Pope, clerk of Stafford and practitioner
    at law; and the rest of the estate is given to his wife, Mary Rosier,
    who was Mary Pope, alias Bridges.  Was she the widow of Nathaniel Pope,
    son of Colonel Nathaniel Pope?

       Lieutenant-Colonel Pope, on October 20, 1657, gave cattle to his son
    Nathaniel and his daughter Margaret Pope.  In 1669 Thomas Pope took an
    inventory of the estate of his sister, Margaret Hardwich.  An affection-
    ate letter to Mrs. Harwich, written May 8, 1669, by Thomas Patten, of
    Bristol, is given further on.

       The Lee Family. - Richard Lee settled in York county about

    Page 38.

    1642, in which year he obtained a patent for land.  Before the massacre
    in 1644 he lived at Tindall's Creek, on the Gloucester side.  May 25,
    1646, "William Whitby, gentleman", sold Lee 100 acres at the same place,
    part of a larger dividend purchased by George Ludlow and William Whitby
    of Argall Yeardly, Esq.  On January 29, 1644-'45, Henry Lee and Richard
    Lee, planters, both of the county of York, acknowledged themselves in-
    debted to Mrs. Sibella Felgate, widow of Captain Rober Felgate, gentle-
    man, deceased, in the sum of 20,000 weight of "good and merchantable
    tobacco" for saving harmless the said Mrs. Felgate, who had given to
    Henry Lee nine head of cattle "belonging to John Adkins, and formerly
    in the custody of Captain Robert Felgate, as having married the mother
    of the said John Adkins, who is the brother of Marah, the wife of the
    above-bounden Henry Lee."

       Richard Lee and Henry Lee were both justices in 1647.  Richard was a
    burgess in 1647, and Henry was a burgess in 1652.

       Richard Lee moved to Westmoreland, and was a member of the Council
    betfore 1663.  He married Anne ------, and was dead before 16?1, leaving:
    John, Richard, Francis, William, Hancock, Betsy, Anne (who married
    Captain Ewell), and Charles.  (See The Lees of Virginia, 1642-1892).

       1.  DR. HENRY LEE (died in 1657), of York county, obtained a certifi-
    cate from the court for 250 acres of land for transporting five persons
    into the Colony:  John Lee, Henry Lee, Eliz. Blashfield, Anne Russell,
    and Thomas Johnson.  He married Marah Adkins and had: 2, Henry; 3, Mary;
    4, Sarah.  2.  DR. HENRY LEE (born 1645, died 1693/4) married Alice,
    only daughter and heiress of William Davis.  She married, 2dly, Richard
    Wood.  Issue: 5, William; 6, Henry.

       5.  WILLIAM LEE married Anne ------, and his will, proved Dec. 16,
    1728, mentions issue:  7, Francis; 9, Anne, m. ----- Hunter; 9, Sarah,
    m. ------ Baptist.

       7.  FRANCIS LEE died in 1753, and had:  10, William; 11, Henry;
    12, Francis.

    about 1668, when his widow married secondly George Horner.  He had issue,
    1, Susannah; 2, Elizabeth, married Bunch Roe; 3, Andrew2; 4, George; 5,
    William.  Of these children Andrew2 married Ellinor, daughter of Patrick
    Spens (he, Spens, was born in 1633, and his will was proved March 26,
    1689).  His widow, Dorcas, married secondly John Jordan, whose will,
    proved February 6, 1693, mentions his stepsons Alexander, Patrick,
    Thomas, and John Spens, and sons-in-law John Sturman, Andrew Monroe, and
    George Weedon, and daughter Ellinor Monroe's daughter Elizabeth.  Issue

    1725.  I think Spens Monroe, father of President Monroe, was son of
    Andrew3.  President Monroe's father was a J.P. and gent., and by his
    will, proved February 14,

    Page 40.

    1774, he had issue, 1, James; 2, Spens; 3, Elizabeth, who married William
    Buckner.  President Monroe's mother was Elizabeth, sister of Joseph
    Jones, member of Congress.

      15.  Samuel Hayward describes himself in a deed as son of Nicholas
    Hayward, of London, merchant.  He became clerk of Stafford county, and
    married Martha, sister of Colonel Washington.  Nicholas Hayward, his
    brother, lived in London, where he was a popular notary public.

      16.  An order of the Quarter Court, at James City, March 14, 1653,
    directs Brent to "take care to prosecute the bounds and interests of
    this colony of Virginia against Lord Baltimore, who had given orders to
    his surveyors or secretary to issue grants for the land belonging to
    petitioner, Giles Brent, on the south side of Potomac".  April 17, 1654,
    Col. Giles Brent, "being minded to pass ye seas", gave his shallop, his
    servants, stock, and other property in Virginia to his sister, Margaret,
    in consideration of her promise to support his wife, mary, and maintain
    and educate his children.  In 1658 Col. Giles Brent made gift to his
    son, Giles, and daughter Mary.  There is also a will of Mary Brent, who
    calls herself sister of Col. Giles Brent.  (See for Brent, Richmond
    Critic, March 17, 1889).

      17.  Charles Ashton, of Northumberland county (born in 1625, died
    1672), married Isabella.  She married secondly Dominick Rice, prominent
    in Bacon's Rebellion.  Issue of Charles and Isabella Ashton: 1, John,
    son and heir; 2, Elizabeth.  John (died in 1677) married Grace ----- and
    had 1, Priscilla; 2, Henry, 3, Charles; 4, Mary; 5, Grace; 6, Sarah.
    Henry Meese, merchant, made a gift to Mary, daughter of John and Grace
    Ashton in 1670.  Was Grace, wife of John Ashton, a kinswoman of Meese?
    After Ashton's death, James Kay married the widow Grace.  Charles Ashton,
    became colonel, and married Elizabeth, sole heiress of William Hardwich.
    At the time Charles Ashton (first named) was justice of Northumberland,
    Peter Ashton, perhaps a kinsman, was justice and burgess of the same
    county.

      18.  Thomas Sturman and William Hardwich, his son-in-law, were promi-
    nent in the disturbances of Richard Ingle in 1645, and were Puritans.
    Thomas Sturman married Anne (her will proved in 1654), and had John,
    frequently mentioned in the Maryland Records; 2, Richard; 3, Anne,
    married Thomas Yowell or Ewell [born in 1615]; 4, Elizabeth, married
    William Hardwich, who married secondly Margaret Pope; 5, Rosanna ----.
    Richard Sturman (will proved in 1668-'69) had issue, Richard, Valentine,
    and Mary; "brother Thomas Ball, of London, and his son Thomas".  His
    widow, Rebecca, married John Frodesham. Richard Sturman had "eleven
    printed books in octavo, and eight printed books in folio".  William
