John Washington was born 14 Mar 1631 in Northampton,
ENGLAND. He was the son of
Richard Washington (b. 1600) and Frances Browne. |
|
John's father died and was buried on 08 January 1641/42
and his widowed mother married for a second time on 17 Jan 1642/43 to
Ralph Hall. John would have been about eleven at the time.
The will of Ralph Hall, dated 30 July 1658 names Frances and left several legacies to "Mrs. Amy Washington,
my wife's daughter". John, however, was not mentioned. |
|
John arrived in Surry County, Virginia, from Barbadoes, as a
merchant. |
|
|
On 15 Nov 1658, at the age of 27, John married Mary Flood .
John Flood and Thomas Flood were witnesses to the contract of
marriage between John and Mary. This was John's first
marriage but not Mary's. |
|
|
|
|
Mary was the daughter of Col. John Flood and his first wife,
Margaret (widow of William Finche). |
|
|
|
|
|
Mary Flood was born about 1635 and sent to England to be
educated. She returned to Virginia where she married
Richard Blunt from Isle of Wight County, VA. They had a son, Thomas,
who was born about 1656. |
|
|
|
|
|
After Richard Blunt's death, Mary soon married Charles Ford (in
1657) - but he died shortly after they married. |
|
|
|
John Washington was Mary Flood's third husband. John and Mary had a contract of marriage stating
that he would see that her son, Thomas Blunt, would receive his
rightful inheritance from his father (Richard Blunt). |
|
|
John Washington and Mary Flood Blunt Ford Washington had one
son, Richard Washington, who was born about 1660. John
died about the same time. |
|
Mary married for a fourth time to Henry Briggs and had several
children, including a daughter Marie. |
