Henry6 Washington (Lawrence5, Henry4, Henry3, John2, John1).
His father bequeathed him “the land I live on.” His material uncle, John Washington (of the Lawrence line) made him his executor in 1785. The Conway-Ashton Account says that he married a daughter of John Ashton. This is confirmed by the family Bible record (printed, Wm & Mary Quarterly, VIII, 75, X, 113-115) which states that he was born in 1765, died July 22, 1801), daughter of John and Hannah Ashton.
