[edit] Abridgement

In the Goldsmiths'-Kress Library of Economic Literature 1450-1850 , University of London an anonymous work is conserved that bears the title:

   An abridgement of the laws in force and use in her Majesty's plantations, (viz) of Virginia, Jamaica, Barbados, Maryland, New England, Carolina & c. Digested under proper heads in the method of Mr Wingate, and Mr Washington's abridgements

   London, printed for John Nicholson 1704

In 1702 the lawyer George Eskridge represented George Gale, the stepfather of Lawrence's children, before the Westmoreland County court over the custodial claims by John Washington, Lawrence's executor. John's aim was to bring back the children, who were being educated at Appleby-in-Westmorland, near Mr Gale's homebase in Whitehaven.

A connection with Washington's abridgements can be situated in this circle. If Lawrence Washington collected notes on laws in force, as he was qualified to do as a court justice, sheriff and burgess for Westmoreland County in the Assembly at Jamestown, it is conceiveable that they ended up in the care of either George Gale or George Eskridge. They may well have been perceived to be of considerable importance for the use of the Whitehaven merchant-mariners for whom Mr Gale was the Virginian company agent. George Eskridge became the mentor of Mr Gale's stepson, Augustine Washington in Westmoreland County.

Lawrence Washington inherited Mattox Creek Farm from his father. In 1685 he was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses and in about 1686 married Mildred, daughter and co-heiress of Colonel Augustine Warner, of Warner Hall. Lawrence made his will on 11th March 1698 and died soon after, leaving his wife with three children, John, who was nearly seven, Augustine, aged three, and Mildred, a baby.

Capt. Lawrence Washington was born September 1659 in Bridge Creek, Westmoreland County, Virginia; and died February 1698 in Warner Hall, Gloucester County, Virginia. He married Mildred Warner (b. 1671 in Warner Hall), in 1690, from Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania County, Virginia. Mildred married (2) George Gale of Whitehaven, Cumberland, England. Mildred was the daughter of Augustine Warner, Jr. (1642-1681) of Warner Hall, Gloucester County, VA. and Mildred Reade, daughter of George Reade of Virginia and Elizabeth Martiau. Augustine Warner and Mildred Reade were both of Royal Descent, and relate to Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales.

The Lineage of George Washington

Written and researched by Margaret Odrowaz-Sypniewska

Mildred died in 1701. Lawrence Washington provided that upon the death of he and his wife, that his estate should be managed by his first cousin, John Washington of Chotank, which was located in Stafford County, Virginia (which is noe King's County). The courts relinquished custody of Augustine to his father's cousin. So Augustine's life changed and he left Appleby School in England, and returned to rural Virginia. He spent the rest of his childhood and teens at Chotank (as did his siblings). Then at age 21, he set off on his own.
