Lawrence Washington was born about 1500. He was the son of
John Washington (b. 1478, d. 1520) and Margaret Kytson of Warton
Hall. |

Lawrence married Anne Aimee Pargiter (b. 1504, d. 07 Oct 1564) in
1538 in Sulgrave, England. Anne was the daughter of Robert
Pargiter and Anne Knight and the widow of Thomson
of Greatworth.
Lawrence Washington was a wealthy wool merchant and became Mayor
of Northampton. It was Lawrence who first settled at
Sulgrave with his second wife Aimee, the third daughter of
Robert Pargiter of Greatworth, near Sulgrave. Lawrence's
former wife, Elizabeth, had died childless. Lawrence
purchased Sulgrave from King Henry VIII in 1539. |

Wasshington, Gent., and Anne his wife, their four sons and
eleven daughters." This land was given to him in1538,
after the dissolution of the priories by Henry VIII.
Sulgrave Manor was completed (or restored) by Lawrence
Washington in 1560. The Washington family owned Sulgrave
Manor for 120 years after George Washington's grandfather

Lawrence & Aimee's son, Lawrence, married wealthy widow Mary
Argall and became the stepfather of her son, Samuel Argall.
Samuel became a prominent Sea captain based at Jamestown in
Virginia. In 1613 he sailed to trade with the Potomac and found
Pocohontas.
He kidnapped Pocohontas and sailed back to Jamestown where
she was held in captivity. The famous story then began with her
adopting Christianity and marrying John Rolfe before traveling
back to England with her new husband in Samuel Argall's boat.
sadly she died in England aged 21 but has become a heroine in
her country. Samuel was an unpopular Deputy Governor of
Virginia from 1617 to 1619 before he returned to the sea and
died at sea in 1626 ending the Washington families first
experience in America. |
