Col. James Washington had a sugar plantation on the island of Nevis in the British West Indies. He had to have a militia, one white man over every ten slaves, to keep down insurrections. Col. Washington was reputed to be some cousin of President George Washington. James Washington had a daughter Mary Blackmore Washington and her mother had been a Miss Blackmore. The Blackmores were apparently a well connected family and one of their ancestors was knighted.
