DESCENDANTS OF JOHN WASHINGTON



____________

____________



     This post and the next are included not because the Washington family and mine are directly related, but because we were neighbors, first on the Patomac River in northern Virginia in the 1700s, and again on the Columbia River in north central Washington in the 1900s; and also, because my 7th great grandfather, Col. George Eskridge, "played an important part in the life of our first President, George Washington.  His [George Washington] mother's name was Mary Ball.  Her father refered to her as 'his little rose of Epping Forest'.  He died when she was about 3 years old.  Her mother also died a few years later and in her will she named George Eskridge as the guardian of Mary.  She spent her girlhood [starting in 1720] in the Eskridge home and later married a neighbor, Augustine Washington.  The marriage took place at Sandy Point.  When her first child was born, the son was named for Mary's much-loved guardian."  "It was George Eskridge who held their first born as he was christened George Washington."  See my post of May 3, 2011, DESCENDANTS OF COL. GEORGE EXKRIDGE, pt. 1:  http://cousinsam.blogspot.com/2011/05/descendants-of-col-george-eskridge-pt-1.html
