Mary Grymes, who was the wife of Ludwell Grymes, was Mary Dawson by birth. She was the daughter of Reverend William Dawson, the second President of the College of William and Mary. Lucy Grymes, (Ludwell's first cousin) was born April 26, 1734, and is the Lowland Beauty who rejected George Washington in order to marry Henry Lee. Cousin Lucy became the mother of Light Horse Harry, the father of general Robert E. Lee. Colonel John Dawson of Williamsburg, who was Mary Dawson's brother, married Mary Johnstone, the daughter of Governor Gabriel Johnstone, of Edenton, NC. Rev. Dawson's second wife was Elizabeth Bassett (née Churchill) -- yes, she is a direct descendant of the same family that can claim Winston Churchill's fame -- she is also a direct descendant of a Pilgrim family (Oldham). Phillip Ludwell Grymes is not the same person as Ludwell although about the same age. The former married Mary Randolph, also a cousin, and he is Ludwell Grymes' nephew by an older brother named Phillip.
