Died: 13 Dec 1616, Sulgrave,Northampton,ENGLAND Lawrence Washington was born about 1568 in Sulgrave, Northampton, ENGLAND. He was the son of Robert Washington (b. 1544) and Elizabeth Lyte. Lawrence married Margaret Butler, daughter of William Butler and Margaret Greeke, on 03 Aug 1588 in St. Leonard's Church, Aston le Walls, Northamptonshire, England. Margaret was born about 1570 of Aston le Walls, Northamptonshire, England. Lawrence's marriage to Margaret gave the family some of the noble luster well coveted in those times. She came from a well connected family descended from the Plantagenet Kings of England. (Below) Sulgrave Manor

Sir Lawrence Washington died 13 Dec 1616 in Wicken, Northamptonshire, England, about age 48, and was buried in St. Michael's, Brington, Hamptonshire, England. on 15 Dec 1616.
Margaret died 16 Mar 1651/52 and was buried in East Haddon, Northhampton, England.Sir Lawrence and Margaret's son, Rev. Lawrence Washington (b. 1602), was a comparative disappointment as older sons had been knighted and married well . Lawrence decided to take the Cloth and obtained a degree from Brakenose Collage at Oxford University before becoming the Rector of Purleigh, Essex in 1633. At this time Purleigh was an important village and offered one of the best livings in Essex which allowed Lawrence to live in the style that he had become accustomed in the Washington household.
In 1632, shortly before moving to Purleigh, Lawrence (b. 1602) married Amphillis Twigdon who as the daughter of a moderately wealthy family in Northamptonshire. All seemed to go well for Lawrence who was described by his new parishioners as a 'very worthy and pius man'. Lawrence (b. 1602) and Amphillis had three sons and three daughters. John (1633) and Andrew (1635) Washington were the oldest two sons.
National affairs clouded the Washington Family life in 1642 with the start of the English Civil War. The Washington family were Royalists having connections with the Monarchy over many. Rev. Lawrence Washington was denounced as “ A common frequenter of ale houses, not only himself sitting daily tippling there, but also encouraging others in that beastly vice, and hath been often drunk, and hath said that the Parliament have more papists belonging to them in their armies than the King had about him or in his army and the Parliament's army did more hurt than the Cavaliers and that they did none at all, and hath published them to be traitors that lend to or assist Parliament”.
There is no evidence as to his drinking habits although there was a splendid Public House (bar) close to the Church and the Rectory. Writings in 1632 claimed that Rev. Lawrence Washington was sequestered for his loyalty to the king and there seems little cause to doubt his views given the language of denouncement.
Whatever the truth, in 1643 their home in Purleigh was taken away from them and so Lawrence moved his family in with his in-laws for a short period before a Royalist sympathizer bought them a home at Little Braxted which Lawrence accepted. Little Braxted was one of the poorest areas and the Washington family experienced poverty until Lawrence died in 1655. Two years later Amphillis also died.
On the death of their mother John and Andrew moved to London to seek their fortune. America seemed the land of opportunity and in 1656 John sailed for Virginia as First mate on the Sea Horse with partner Edward Prescott. After the death of his first wife, John married Anne Pope who was the daughter of a planter and as a wedding gift received a 700 acre tobacco plantation. When their first son was born in 1659 they followed the family tradition and named him Lawrence.John Washington and Anne Pope were the Great-Grandparents of George Washington, the 1st President of the United States.
