The Washingtons. Volume 5, Part 1: Generation Nine of the Presidential Branch

By Justin Glenn

This is the fifth 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, including such luminaries as General George S. Patton, the author Shelby Foote, and the actor Lee Marvin. Volume Three traced the ancestry of the early Virginia members of this “Presidential Branch” back in time 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 now presents Generation Nine, including more than 10,000 descendants. Future volumes will trace generations ten 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. ADVANCE PRAISE “I am convinced that your work will be of wide interest to historians and academics as well as members of the Washington family itself. Although the surname Washington is perhaps the best known in American history and much has been written about the Washington family for well over a century, it is surprising that no comprehensive family history has been published. Justin M. Glenn’s The Washingtons: A Family History finally fills this void for the branch to which General and President George Washington belonged, identifying some 63,000 descendants. This is truly a family history, not a mere tabulation of names and dates, providing biographical accounts of many of the descendants of John Washington who settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1657. . . . Each individual section is followed by extensive listings of published and manuscript sources supporting the information presented and errors of identification in previous publications are commented upon as appropriate.” John Frederick Dorman, editor of The Virginia Genealogist (1957-2006) and author of Adventurers of Purse and Person “Decades of reviewing Civil War books have left me surprised and delighted when someone applies exhaustive diligence to a topic not readily accessible. Dr. Glenn surely meets that standard with the meticulous research that unveils the Washington family in gratifying detail—many of them Confederates of interest and importance.” Robert K. Krick, author of The Smoothbore Volley that Doomed the Confederacy and Stonewall Jackson at Cedar Mountain

Introduction

This history traces the Presidential line of the Washingtons. This is the vast family originated by the immigrant John Washington who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and was the great-grandfather of President George Washington.

My long odyssey began in the summer of 1973, when I learned from a surgeon that I had a melanoma; there was a significant chance that within five years I would be dead. At the time I was twenty-eight years old and had embarked on a university teaching career in the field of Classics three years earlier. This medical revelation had a strange impact. Certain things that had long lain dormant on a far horizon of my life began to stir and even acquire an uncanny urgency. Foremost among these was a vague curiosity about my family’s ancestry. When I asked my parents about the subject, my mother replied, Ask my brother John—he’s trying to get a book written on our family.

Thus began my correspondence with my uncle John Pope Matthews, a prominent land developer in Little Rock, Arkansas. At that same time, I struck up a friendship with Gloria Counts, the local genealogist whom John had hired to research the Matthews family. As a small side-job, she did some very limited work on a rather notable maternal line. John’s mother (my grandmother), Agnes (Somers) Matthews, was the granddaughter of Worden Pope, whose great-grandfather and namesake, Worden Pope, was the great-grandson of Nathaniel Pope I of Westmoreland County, Virginia. It turned out that Nathaniel Pope had descendants by his son Nathaniel Pope II (my mother’s ancestor) and his daughter Anne Pope, who married the young immigrant named John Washington. These same John and Anne (Pope) Washington were the great-grandparents of President George Washington.

I was astonished to learn that no one had published anything approaching a comprehensive genealogy of either the Pope or the Washington family. Slowly, without even realizing it at first, I began to compile such a history by collecting cousins, as many descendants of Nathaniel Pope I as I could find. These included the Washingtons, of course, and over the course of the next decade they gradually came to dominate my research.

The critical turn in this long quest came in the fall of 1992. While rather casually working on another maternal line, I made contact with Brice McAdoo Clagett, a distant cousin (now deceased) who was a prominent lawyer and noted genealogist in Washington, D.C. Learning of my interest in the Popes and Washingtons, he mentioned that he frequently had lunch with an investment adviser who had an office nearby: "His name is John Augustine Washington, and he is the expert on the family. With Brice’s help I immediately wrote to John, who was the namesake and direct descendant of a younger brother of George Washington. I purchased copies of his two excellent Washington charts, and then finally summoned the courage to send him samples of what I had been working up on the family. A few days later I received a telephone call, which began, John Washington here." He was kind enough to say that he liked my material and asked about the state of my research:

So far I’ve collected about 9,000 descendants of your immigrant ancestor John Washington.

That’s not a bad start.

"About how many have you found?"

I don’t know exactly—but quite a few more than you. Of course, I’ve been at it a lot longer. But I can see that you take your Washington genealogy quite seriously. You’ll be hearing from me.

A few days later I received in the mail a roll of microfilm, and rushing to the library I soon realized that his research far exceeded anything that had ever been published on the family. I spent most of the next several weekends at the library photocopying the microfilm, and then many months enormously expanding and often correcting my computer files on the Washingtons.

The 30-year-old roll of microfilm was a flawed treasure. It had already begun to decompose and was dotted with blotches that rendered some names and dates illegible. For fear of seeming ungrateful, I long hesitated to send John a photocopy of a disfigured page. When I finally did, he immediately telephoned me and apologized profusely. Unaware of the microfilm’s poor condition, he promised to send me an updated and greatly expanded version of his Outline. At regular intervals over the next few months, he sent me about thirty packets, which together filled a three-foot drawer in my file cabinet. It was all hand-written in a small but very precise script. These updated versions of the old microfilm material brought my total number of Washington descendants to perhaps 25,000.

That began a lengthy period of correspondence. I long urged John to join with me in co-authoring a genealogical history of the Washingtons. He always demurred, pleading his lack of time (he was still a very active financial adviser), and he had become very interested in working on the Lee family of Virginia. For about 40 years, John had devoted his spare time to developing a basic outline of the Washingtons—dates of birth, marriage, and death. On the back of each sheet (especially for the earliest generations) he had made some brief notations on profession, places of birth, marriage, residence, and death, and occasionally some sources. But there were virtually no biographical details or sketches, the sort of thing that I especially enjoyed writing. Thus, when examining a recently arrived batch of John’s material, I was amazed to find the name Lee Marvin. Quickly turning the page, I found a one-word annotation on the back: actor.

During the following years, I added many thousands of additional descendants from new sources and correspondents that I located on the internet. I also slowly began to expand my computer files by writing over one thousand detailed biographical sketches (of both Washington descendants and their spouses). Even at that stage I continued to suggest that John join me in co-authoring a genealogical history of the Washingtons; after all, I was deriving an enormous amount of my material directly from his files. He said emphatically one day, No, I assembled the skeleton, but you’ve put flesh on it and brought it to life. This is your project now. Perhaps his metaphor is apt, but anyone who has done much genealogy will quickly confirm that assembling skeletons is infinitely more difficult than adding flesh. He has helped me at every turn and saved me from countless mistakes.

The reader should be forewarned that my formal training in American history is very limited. When I attended my first class of The History of Western Civilization at Stanford in the Fall of 1963, my History instructor promptly informed us (as best as I can recall):

No doubt most of you were indoctrinated in high school with the utterly false notion that history involves the study of guns, boats, and dates. True history has nothing to do with such things. There will be no discussion of guns, boats, and dates in this class.

History, as I went on to discover during that course, consisted of roughly equal parts of sociology, economics, philosophy, and political ideology. Sadly, I have proved a poor student. Not only have I written a book teeming with guns, boats, and (most of all) dates, but I have had the temerity to think of it as a family history and not merely a genealogy. Part of the blame I must assign to the professors under whom I later studied Greek and Roman history at Stanford and Princeton—Antony Raubitschek, Ronald Mellor, John Fine, Robert Connor, and Frank Bourne. They still clung to the outmoded concept that chronology, as well as military and naval events, are important elements of history.

I am keenly aware that, in spite of my best efforts and many years of work, this book has numerous errors. These creep into genealogies with lamentable ease, especially in the case of dates. When a date of birth, marriage, or death is entered on a computer, it is appallingly easy to hit a wrong numeral key, and once entered the mistake often becomes virtually undetectable in subsequent proofreading. Although I strove to use reasonable caution, I am keenly aware that numerous mistakes must still remain. Any corrections (especially when documented) from readers will be gratefully received and carefully stored for a supplemental volume that I hope to publish someday.

Since this is essentially a history of a Southern family, I have generally used the Southern names of Civil War battles (e.g., Manassas for Bull Run, Sharpsburg for Antietam, and Murfreesboro for Stones River). Exceptions are battles for which the Northern title is almost universally used today (e.g., Pea Ridge for Elk Horn Tavern, Shiloh for Pittsburg Landing, and Brice’s Cross Roads for Tishomingo Creek). For the sake of convenience, I use the term Civil War for what I deem the more technically correct but more awkward War Between the States.

I also need to ask the reader’s patience with several inconsistencies that evolved as my multi-volume book traversed many chronological and geographical boundaries.

Army Air Service/USAF

For U.S. military aviation veterans of World War I, I have universally adopted the term Army Air Service, although technically this term was used only from May 24, 1918 to July 2, 1926. Previous official designations in 1917-1918 were Aviation Section, U.S. Signal Corps and Division of Military Aeronautics.

For U.S. World War II-era and later military aviation veterans, I have universally adopted the term USAF (U.S. Air Force), although this technically was not created until Sept. 18, 1947. Previous designations were U.S. Army Air Corps (July 1926-June 1941) and U.S. Army Air Force (June 1941-Sept. 1947).

Charlestown/Charles Town (West) Virginia

In 1786 Charles Washington (the youngest brother of the future President) donated 80 acres to establish a town that was named in his honor, Charles Town. Originally located in Berkeley County, Va., the town became part of newly formed Jefferson County, Virginia in 1801. From the outset, there was confusion about the name of the town: Charlestown or Charles Town? Both forms were used by its residents in early wills, deeds, and other official documents. In 1863 the administration of President Lincoln included Jefferson County and its neighboring Berkeley County among the counties that were cut out of Virginia to form the new state of West Virginia. Both geographically and politically, Jefferson and Berkeley Counties were closely aligned with Virginia and not West Virginia. The major motive of the Lincoln administration was to assure that the vital Baltimore and Ohio Railroad remained entire within the borders of the United States. Most of the adult male citizens of Jefferson County were either in the Confederate Army or were known Confederate sympathizers, and on those grounds were not permitted to vote in the election that set the borders of West Virginia.

In 1866 the Virginia legislature brought suit against West Virginia to restore Berkeley and Jefferson County to the Old Dominion. The case dragged on for five years, and in 1871 the Supreme Court finally issued a decision which refused to change the borders of West Virginia. Meanwhile, the confusion in the spelling Charles Town and Charlestown was compounded by the similarity to Charleston, located Kanawha County, which was named the capital of the newly formed state of West Virginia in 1863. When rural mail delivery was first established in 1896, the West Virginia state legislature voted to end the confusion once and for all by formally naming the small town in Jefferson County Charles Town. In the present work I have consistently attempted to use the spelling Charles Town for the town established by Charles Washington.

Independent Cities in Virginia

Since many of the most basic genealogical records in the U.S. are county documents, it has become a customary courtesy in modern genealogical writing to attempt to cite not only city and state but county as well. This is especially important, of course, for rural areas and small hamlets which are obscure and in some cases have faded completely out of existence. In general, I have attempted to include counties in my numerous entries, except for a few of the largest cities.

One of the most perplexing and confusing contradictions that faces students of Virginia genealogy is the problem of classifying Virginia’s larger towns and cities in terms of counties. (A somewhat similar problem prevails in Connecticut, which essentially abolished county governments in 1960. In addition, the state of Alaska is divided into boroughs, not counties). Since the 1870s, most of Virginia’s towns and cities have been classified as Independent Cities and are technically separate political entities from the counties that in many cases completely surround them. This spawns a host of unavoidable and vexing inconsistencies. Many individuals who lived their entire life in the same house were classified as residents of a certain county up until the 1870s but not afterward. The situation is inherently odd: Salem, Va., for example, is completely surrounded by Roanoke County, and it both contains the Roanoke County Court House and functions as the de facto county seat of Roanoke County. Since 1871, however, it is technically an Independent City and not part of Roanoke County.

To compound the chaos, U.S. Federal documents are hopelessly inconsistent on the subject, even if we restrict ourselves to just the post-1870s period. Depending on the year and the census taker, census records sometimes list the same persons, living in the same house, as residents of (for example) Richmond, Independent City, and sometimes as residents of Richmond, Henrico County, Va. Also, World War I Draft records were organized basically by state and county, so a man registering for the draft in (say) Danville, Va., was classified in Federal records as registering in Danville, Pittsylvania County, even though the state of Virginia would technically classify this location as Danville, Independent City.

In addition, the towns in the Norfolk/Hampton Roads area have undergone a bewildering series of mergers and consolidations that, once again, make consistency virtually impossible. A rather extreme case is Warwick County, Va., which in 1952 ceased being a county and became simply the city of Warwick, and then in 1958 disappeared altogether when it was incorporated into the city of Newport News. In the face of such chaos, I can only alert readers to the problem and ask their forbearance.

Index/Record

There is great inconsistency among the titles of the birth, death, and marriage on-line databases (e.g., Death Records vs. Death Index). For the sake of consistency (and my sanity), I have adopted the uniform term "Index."

First names/Last Names

As I began to write fairly lengthy biographical sketches for hundreds of Washington descendants and their spouses, I encountered the obvious problem of how to name them. It seemed eccentrically formal to speak of children by their last names, but at what point does one suddenly cease using their first names and shift to last names? Writers of biographical histories would normally use last names to refer to their subjects, especially in the case of adults. Genealogical entries, however, pose peculiar difficulties. Different family members (most having the same last name) tend to weave in and out of the narrative, so to refer to the principal subject simply by his or her last name becomes inherently confusing. I eventually chose as a general rule to refer to the principal subjects of each entry by their first names, even as adults, for the sake of both clarity and consistency. At times, I confess, this produces a rather awkward familiarity, for which I ask the reader’s indulgence.

Acknowledgments

My most pleasant task in writing this history is also the most daunting: to acknowledge the many people whose generous assistance and encouragement have sustained me in my lengthy journey. (I have already acknowledged, of course, my supreme debt to my mentor John Augustine Washington). The long lapse of years makes me fearful that I might accidentally omit some of the scores of correspondents who generously supplied information on their branch of the Washington family. I have attempted to list them all in the section headed Correspondents (a wide category that includes postings on the Internet) found near the beginning of my bibliography. At the risk of seeming ungrateful to others, however, I here make an attempt to single out (in alphabetical order) some who have been extraordinarily generous in supplying massive amounts of information.

I must also add that I asked John A. Washington if he had kept a list of correspondents who had assisted him in compiling his monumental Outline. He replied that much to his regret he did not, and, for fear of accidentally omitting important helpers, he declined to submit such a list. He did wish, however, that I acknowledge the extraordinary assistance that he received from a genealogist who was a critical partner in his life-long genealogical quest—Prentiss Price. As John would be the first to attest, thousands of names in his Washington Outline were collected and contributed by Prentiss Price, who died in August 1979.

I begin with a special thank you to my supportive and long-suffering wife, Jody Glenn, who assisted in proofreading and patiently has endured my genealogy addiction. I am also deeply grateful to Ted Savas of Savas Beatie Publishers, who had faith in my unusually lengthy book and took the risk of publishing it in the depths of a severe and seemingly endless economic recession. Finally, I am much indebted to The National Society of the Washington Family Descendants for a subvention toward the publication of this book.
