My connection is through my great-great-great grandmother Mary Evelyn Hereford of Mason County, West Virginia who in-turn was the granddaughter of Howell Lewis and the great-granddaughter of Betty Washington and Fielding Lewis. Mary Evelyn Hereford's husband was Edwin Lafayette Withers of Clendenin, Kanawha County, West Virginia. He was the great-great-great grandson of a 17th century planter James Withers of Overton Parish, Stafford County, Virginia who lived in close proximity of Augustine Washington's (my 8th great-grandfather) home Ferry Farms as well. My Hereford descendants also lived in the Westmoreland County, Stafford County, and Fairfax County area as wealthy planters and frequented the Truro Parish Anglican Church in Fairfax. From what I have been told almost all of the Virginia planter gentry came from the same area in North-Western England as landowners and military members. I would like any additional information that you have available on any of the information provided above please. <br /><br />My email is: kadrian.moon@yahoo.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652049120467266609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4848980157116683385.post-16292502861224453702014-07-23T13:33:26.109-07:002014-07-23T13:33:26.109-07:00With additional research conducted, updates are re...With additional research conducted, updates are required. Cohasco, Inc. quoted this blog for an item that appeared in their 12 November 2013 Auction Catalogue. In reading the description, I realized that the blog stated George Washington had five executors. He had five nephews he appointed as executors plus Martha Dandridge Custis Washington and his ward George Washington Parke Custis who was the last surviving executive. Lawrence Lewis was the last surviving nephew who was appointed by George Washington as an executor. Current efforts focus on identifying a publisher for a photograph book that highlights portraits and other objects belonging to the Lewis family. Permissions from the various institutions who own the objects is required before the photograph book can be more widely distributed. The book also shows surveys of land and pictures of the property as it looks present-day for sites where the Washington and Lewis family members lived.Washington-Lewis Family Researchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244642954246993383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4848980157116683385.post-29793751735835617162013-09-09T12:50:15.426-07:002013-09-09T12:50:15.426-07:00You may contact me directly at monpesek@aol.comYou may contact me directly at monpesek@aol.comWashington-Lewis Family Researchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244642954246993383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4848980157116683385.post-55904279869313460202013-01-29T11:11:16.399-08:002013-01-29T11:11:16.399-08:00I have been researching my family hisotry. I was ...I have been researching my family hisotry. I was always told when that we I was related to George Washington's sister through the Lewis side. So I got on Ancestry.com and started with my great grandmother Lanorna Lewis Moses. In researching this I found the obituary for her dad Robert Lewis that died in 1933. It indicated that one of his great grandfather is Fielding Lewis. I have been able to trace it to Edward Lewis. But not directly to Fielding Lewis. After furter research. I did trace our line to John Lewis Sr. (1635-1689) and then go back down the line. So I guess Fielding's great grand father (john Lewis Sr. is also my 9th great grandfather) so that makes Betty Washington relation to me wife of 2nd cousin 8 x removed. Oh well It is still exiting to discover all of this.
