Washington's Coat of Arms. Tliere have hern ninny emlcnvor3 imiilo to truce Washington's English unrcstry,.nnd tlie name re-ur- s in parts of I lie country. A lier-nlili-visitatinii of t lie county of North-aninto-was made In the latter part of the Sixlevntli century, wliicli fcivee the genealogical talilc of the Wash-ingtou- s of Sulgrave. It Is Interest InjJ to note tliat tlio coat of arms-- of the family, though differing in tin differ-ent branches of it, yet contains in most of them the heraldic emlilenis of stars and bars below theni. it is uni-versal belief, of course, that the Wash-ington coat of arms Is the basis and of the national Hag of the Stars and Stripes. No Record of Lawrence. The ancestor to which Washington refers is John Washington, who came to Virginia in 1G57 and was the great grandfather of fleorge. while lie wus himself the son of Itev. Lawrence Washington, the tvetor of I'u'rlelght. John was f.irced to leave home on jic Washington would be considered at 1 meeting of the commission's executivt committee. I'rofespor Hart made his discovery, Senator Fess said, while making re-searches In England Into the genu-1- logy of the Washington family. More than lifty places were visited, the pro-fessor tracing the lineage through six-teen generations. It was learned, the senator added that in 11S3. William de liertlnirn bought Innd in Wessington and took that place for his name. Professor Hart is of the belief, the Ohioan de-clared, that this was the source of the Washington family name. FEW TOURISTS FAIL TO VISIT SULGRAVE MANOH The small village of Sulgruve in the English midlands possesses no strik-ing features, yet In the lasl few years it has become the goal of many pil-grimages and the object of many ex-cursions. People now visit It by thou-sands, for here stands the ancestral home of the Washington family. Lawrence Washington built the manor house toward the middle of the sixteenth century. In the first half of Washington Letter Shows His Interest in His Genealogy Writing to His Nephew, He Reveals Knowledge of Family's Founder j in America. A letter bearing the signature of George Washington, addressed to his nephew, William Augustine Washing-ton, Is in the possession of Harriet J. lieyer of New York. It Is dated Oc-tober .'!, 17SI8, and is said to be the only letter extant in which George. Washington makes any Inquiries to his own ancestry, or gives his per-sonal views on the subject, and It is. therefore, considered to be a unique document. Written In his tine caligraphy on paper softly mellowed by age, it is a valuable historical document, show-ing Washington in yet another light. This letter is, apparently,'. not the first lime Washington made such, in-quiries into his family tree, as may be Judged by the opening sentence In ax HJf r in HiiTii mi, -- tb! ;f--' J 1 ' , 1 $jz....n., If Jv-- . count or poverty, and in his twenty "ixth year appeared In Virginia. Ol the Lawrence to whom Washington also refers there peems no record. This letter of Washington's seems to iil! up a gap. though It does not throw any first light about his ances-try, It is George Washington himself who stands out as an Uluslrlou.s figure from a family of rather ordinary an I 'undistinguished people. ' It Is rather a modern fashion to decry the heroes of another age, and n certain enjoj merit is manifested iu finding that any accept oil idol has feet of clay. Thus Washington also has I. is detractors like oilier great men and it is said that the cannot tell a lie and other rather riiiii iiloiis fiih!e.--' hae been traced to a "brar.cii piece of fic-tion" of a learned gentleman. Historic Document. From tile same source ("fleorge Washington," by W. K. Woodward) we learn the Washington letters were unfortunately collected by im onihi'sl-as- t who suppressed some and "id led others, greatly detracting from their interest and value. An original let-ter of this kind, therefore, ghing spe-cial details of interest in hi- - own genealogy, becomes n historic and val-uable document. These old, fragile "scraps ot paper" are in some cases almost pricel-- . ss, for in latter years collectors have been willing to pay almost any price for them. Of such delicacy are some that they are kept behind g!n-- s or In leath-er folders, and are as heavily insured us tlie most rare of precious stones. How some of tlie most secret and private documents ever fall Into strange hands at all remains a mys-tery. Some are, of course, stolen; others are appropriated by servants or secretaries and In time fall Into the collector's hands and under the ham-mer, where their precious secrets, no longer, perhaps, of vital importance to a world that has changed, become public and much discussed property j In the rose garden at Sulgrave manor. The eundial dates back to ' 1539, the time of Lawrence Wash-ington- . which he thanks bis nephew for the old documents sent him regarding the i subject, which it may be assumed he ' asked for. The letter Is, however, so ; far as It Is at present known,, the only one dealing specifically with this mat-- I ter. j Reference to Ancestors. It opens with other topics such as suggested alterations in a contract for tlie purchase of .KM) barrels of corn In which General Lee also is Interest-ed, and It is on the fourth page of the manuscript that he refers to his ancestors. Tlie following is a tran-script : "1 thank you for the old documents you sent tae, respecting the family of our Ancestors, but 1 am possessed of Paper? which prove beyond h doubt, that of the two brothers who Knit grated to this country In the year l(ir7, during the troubles of that day that John Washington, from whom we One Wing of Sulgrave Manor. tlie Nineteenth century an American writer visiting Kngland made his way to the village. In one of bis books he gave a brief description of the old house : j "It was a quiet, rural neighborhood where the farmhouses were quaint j and antiquated.
