Opis

This is the sixth volume of Dr. Justin Glenn's comprehensive history that traces the "Presidential line" of the Washingtons. Volume One began with the immigrant John Washington, who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and became the great-grandfather of President George Washington. It continued the record of their descendants for a total of seven generations. Volume Two highlighted notable family members in the next eight generations of John and Anne Washington's descendants. Volume Three traced the ancestry of the early Virginia members of this "Presidential Branch" back to the aristocracy and nobility of England and continental Europe. Volume Four resumed the family history where Volume One ended, and it contained Generation Eight of the immigrant John Washington's descendants. Volume Five treated Generation Nine.

Volume Six now presents Generation Ten, and it includes over 12,000 descendants. Future volumes will add generations eleven through fifteen, making a total of over 63,000 descendants. Although structured in a genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no bare bones genealogy but a true family history with over 1,200 detailed biographical narratives. These in turn strive to convey the greatness of the family that produced not only The Father of His Country but many others, great and humble, who struggled to build that country.

Volume Six, Part One covers the descendants of the Immigrant John Washington's children Lawrence Washington and John Washington, Jr. Volume Six, Part Two covers the descendants of the Immigrant's child Anne (Washington) Wright.
