Catherine, since I posted that message I have received the
following from a book (no Title included), pages 40 & 41:
"Sir John's son, John, did not die in Virginia in 1660,
as did John Washington of Surry County, whose widow married
fourth, before 1661, Henry Briggs.
It can be accepted that John Washington of Surry could
be the son of Richard, the younger brother of Sir John. No
records have been found to connect John of Surry to this
family, but it can be theorized that since John Washington
named his son Richard, that John himself might have been the son of Richard, the younger brother of Sir John.
Richard Washington was a freeman of the Clothworker's
Company of London. Their record shows that on the "7th July
1614 Richard Washington, son of Laurence Washington of
Wickhammond, Co. Northampton, Gent (apprenticed) to Richard
Brent.
This Richard Washington was born about 1598, and was
married at St. Martin-in-the-Fields 27 April 1627, to
Frances Browne. They had a daughter Amy baptized 21 October 1628, and a son John baptized 14 March 1631/2.
Richard, the father, died and was buried 8 January 1641/2;
Frances, his widow, married second, 17 January 1642/3,
Ralph Hall.
The Will of Ralph Hall, dated 30 July 1658 (Nabbs 186)
P.C.C.) named his wife Frances, and left several legacies
to "Mrs. Amy Washington, my wife's daughter". John was not
mentioned. No marriage has been found for Frances Washington-Hall, or for Amy Washington; or a will for either one; nor a will for Richard Washington, or guardianship records for his very young children."
I called a man in Tallahassee, Florida, who is writing a
book on the Washington Family. He said that he was not
including John Washington of Surry Co., Virginia, because
not enough is known about him.
Mary Flood-Blunt-Ford-Washington-Briggs, was born about
1635 and died 5 July 1681 in Surry County. Her husband,
Henry Briggs Jr. was born about 1635 in Southwark Parish,
Surry County and died before 6 July 1686. They lived on
Cypress Swamp in Southwark Parish and he had John Dykes
(spelled, Daukes) living in his household as the tutor for
the children. This Dykes family came from Pepenbury, Kent
Co., England.
I descend from John Washington of Surry County through
my Brown and Lanier families.
