This may be imaginative but consider- ing the early settlement of this portion of England by Northern Teutons it is quite possible. The next Washingtons that we know of were the John Washingtons of Lancashire, grand- father and grandson in the 14th Century, they were of the good sound yoeman stock that has played so large a part in the making of England and all in the world that bears the stamp of English genius and character. From these de- scended a Lawrence (Laurence) Washington, who was ele...cted mayor of Northampton in loo 2 and again in 1545. He appears to have been one of the brightest, most prosperous and influential of the English Washingtons. His mother was Margaret Kitson (Kytson) a sister of Sir Thomas Kitson, a princely merchant, whose daughter married Sir John Spencer. Lawrence Wash- ington was therefore related to the Kitsons and connected by marriage to the Spencers — two of the richest and most prominent families in this A VISIT TO THE HOMELAND OF WASHINGTON'S ANCESTORS Section of England.
