The following notes are taken from William and Mary College Quarterlies :
COL. JOHN WASHINGTON.
"William Means, aet. 32, deposes and says that John Washington arrived in Virginia in 1656 in the capacity of second man or mate to Edward Prescott, a merchant."
The will of Richard Cole was proved June 24, 1674, and the affidavit of Col. John Washington attached says:
"Deposition of Col. John Washington, aet. 45, or there- about," etc., "and further deponent sayeth not. John Washington."
So Col. Washington was forty-five in 1676. He died two years later. He was therefore born about 1631 and his brother Laurence about 1635.
Col. John Washington married three times: first, Anne Pope, previous to May 11, 1650, daughter of Colonel Nathaniel Pope : second, Anne Gerrard, widow of Walter Broadhurst. who died between Jan. 26 and Feb. 12, 1659: third, Frances Gerrard, widow of Col. Valentine Peyton : widow, also, of Capt. John Appleton, and of Col. Thomas Speke; d. in 1659.
When John Washington first came to Virginia in 1656 he stayed

at the house of Col. Nathaniel Pope, and being about twenty-five years of age he naturally fell in love with the daughter of his host. Anne Pope, and they were married 1658 or '59, and Sept. 20, 1659 their son, Laurence Washington, was baptized.
Nathaniel Pope was one of the twenty-four freemen of the "Grand Inquest," in Maryland in 1637. He did not know how to write, and affixed a mark for his signature. In 1643 he and his "nine menial servants" were exempted from all military service : sent as agent to Kent Island, in 1647, he attempted, as charged. to persuade the people there to come and live at Appomattox until they should become strong enough to seize and hold their Kent Island homes. In 1656 he was made Lieutenant Colonel. He married Luce, and had issue :
I. Anne Pope. Married John Washington.
II. Margaret Pope. Married William Hardwick.
III. Thomas Pope.
IV. Nathaniel Pope.
Col. John Washington married Anne Pope and had three children :
I. Laurence Washington. Married Mildred Warner.
II. John Washington.
III. Anne Washington. Married Francis Wright.
September 28, 1670, is the date of a statement of account of Lieutenant Colonel John Washington, who married Ann, widow of Henry Brett : "And we do find that Mrs. Ann Brett Washington has paid," etc., ete., "witness our hand this 3rd October, 1670. Recorded 9th October, 1670."
May 31, 1671, Mr. Samuel Brett of Plymouth executed a dis- charge to "Lieutenant Colonel John Washington who intermarried with Mrs. Ann Brett, widow and administratrix of Henry Brett. of Plymouth, merchant, deceased."
The Anne Washington of Col. John Washington's will was not the Anne Washington, mother of his three children, Laurence, John and Anne, but was the dead Anne therein referred to. The live Anne Washington of the will was the Anne (widow of Walter Broadhurst, that in the interval since his death had married Mr. Henry Brett who also had died: whereupon she married Colonel John Washington).

SOME PROMINENT
April 12, 1678, stated that Walter Broadhurst, her son, "was granted administration of the goods of Anne Washington, alias Broadhurst, late of Washington Parish in the County of West- moreland, Va."
In Westmoreland County is recorded a marriage contract between Col. John Washington and Frances Appleton, widow of Col. John Appleton and born Frances Gerrard. This contract is dated May 10, 1676, so, of course, Mrs. Anne Washington, the second, must have died before that date.
Frances Gerrard, daughter of Dr. Thomas Gerrard and his first wife, Susanna, daughter of Justinian Snow, one of the founders of Maryland and Lord Baltimore's factor in the Indian traders, married, first, Col. Thomas Speke; he died in 1659. She married, second, Colonel Valentine Peyton and had Gerrard Peyton, who died s. p. She married, third, Captain John Appleton, who died between February 25 and April 12, 1676. On May 10, 1676, she entered into a fourth matrimonial engagement, this time with Col. John Washington.
Dr. Thomas Gerrard was for a long time Councillor in Mary- land, but was finally banished for taking part in the insurrection of Isaias Fendall in 1659. Before this he had provided a refuge in Virginia having obtained, October 18, 1650, a patent for land and naming among the head rights his wife, Susanna Gerrard, and his children, Susanna, Temperance, Frances, Justinian, and John Gerrard. The same day, October 18, 1650, Walter Broad- hurst patented land next to William Hardwick on the west side of "Poor Jack Creek." As Walter Broadhurst had a son "Gerrard," it might be that Anne, his wife, who afterwards married Col. John Washington, was a daughter of Col. Thomas Gerrard, as well as Washington's third wife, Frances.
Capt. John Appleton, b. 1640; d. 1676. A letter is extant from him to "his brother, Mr. Richard Colbourn, near Spittlefield's Gate, London," dated June 12, 1674. He married Frances Gerrard, widow of Thomas Speke and of Valentine Peyton. It is not be- lieved that he left children. After his death his widow married, fourth, Col. John Washington.
Thomas Speke, b. 1603, d. 1659, patented in 1650, one thousand aeres of land. He had a son, Thomas, and brother, John, who lived in Bath and Plymouth, England.

Jan. 26, 1661, Mary Jones, who d. about 1663-5, daughter of Edmund Jones, of Luton, England.
The earliest land grant to Laurence Washington, the immigrant, was dated Sept. 27, 1667. He married second, in Virginia, 1667-'8, Joyce (familiarly called Jane) Fleming, daughter of widow of Capt. Alexander Fleming. In his will, Laurence calls her Jane.
Laurence Washington was a merchant, and had storehouses in England and in Virginia. He was a witness to the will of Col. Nathaniel Pope, May 16th, 1659. He married Mary Jones, at Luton, England, Jan. 21, 1661. There is on record in Westmore- land, a power of attorney from Gabriel Reve, of London, mer- chant, to Laurence Washington, of Luton, Co. Bedford, Merchant, to demand from the heirs, executors, and administrators of Col. Nathaniel Pope, late merchant of Virginia, deceased. all debts due from Pope to Reve, which power of attorney is dated Oct. 31, 1660, and was recorded Feby. 4, 1662. Laurence was certainly in Virginia, in February 1662, at the time the paper was recorded, and he probably brought his wife with him.
This record proves that Laurence Washington made frequent trips over the ocean to and from England during the first ten years of his residence in Virginia. The second wife of Laurence Wash- ington was Joyce, in legal documents :
"Laurence Washington, of Rappahannock, and his wife, Joyce," conveyed "200 acres of land, Feb. 6, 16:1-2, formerly the property of Alexander Fleming, and by Fleming, assigned to John Thomazine, and by the latter to Laurence Washington." Capt. Alexander Fleming was married twice. Records in Ellis Co. show that Alexander Fleming and wife, Ursula, made a deed August 19. 1660. His other wife, Joyce, by whom he had daughter Alexia. married Thomas Pace, and their daughter. Elizabeth. married Rowland Thornton.
