This is the sixth volume of Dr. Justin Glenn's comprehensive history
that traces the "Presidential line" of the Washingtons. Volume One began
with the immigrant John Washington, who settled in Westmoreland Co.,
Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and became the great-grandfather of
President George Washington. It continued the record of their
descendants for a total of seven generations. Volume Two highlighted
notable family members in the next eight generations of John and Anne
Washington's descendants. Volume Three traced the ancestry of the early
Virginia members of this "Presidential Branch" back to the aristocracy
and nobility of England and continental Europe. Volume Four resumed the
family history where Volume One ended, and it contained Generation Eight
of the immigrant John Washington's descendants. Volume Five treated
Generation Nine.
Volume Six now presents Generation Ten, and it includes over 12,000
descendants. Future volumes will add generations eleven through fifteen,
making a total of over 63,000 descendants. Although structured in a
genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no bare bones
genealogy but a true family history with over 1,200 detailed
biographical narratives. These in turn strive to convey the greatness of
the family that produced not only The Father of His Country but many
others, great and humble, who struggled to build that country.
Volume Six, Part One covers the descendants of the Immigrant John
Washington's children Lawrence Washington and John Washington, Jr.
Volume Six, Part Two covers the descendants of the Immigrant's child
Anne (Washington) Wright.
