Notes for John Washington
John Washington (son of Lawrence), was born April 2, 1671 in King George County (then Stafford County). In a letter (printed in Waters' Gleanings) from him to his half sister, Mrs. Mary Gibson, of Hawnes, Bedfordshire, dated June 22, 1697, he says "I have a kind and loving wife by whom I have had three sons and a daughter, of which I have buried my daughter and one son... Direct yours to me in Stafford County on Potomack River in Virginia."
John Washington married, March 15, 1692, Mary, daughter of Robert Townshend, of Stafford County, and granddaughter of Richard Townshend Esq., of York County, member of the Council (see this Magazine XXII, 313, and Hayden's Virginia Genealogies, 732 and note). Lawrence Washington, son of Col. John Washington, the emigrant, in his will, dated March 11, 1697-8 made his "Cozen John Washington of Stafford" his executor and made bequests to said John and his (John's) eldest son Lawrence.
