Bartholomew Dandridge, who was a great-great-grandfather of Martha Washington, was born around 1580 and was engaged in the pursuit of farming in Drayton St. Leonard when he married in 1605 Agnes Wilder and they had a son, William Dandridge, who after his father’s death in 1638, continued his farming operations and was a zealous churchman in Oxfordshire.[1]
Daniel's father Francis was born in the village of East Hagbourne, a few miles from East Hendred. His Dandridge family is descended from a John Dandridge who married Mary Cate in Culham, Oxfordshire on Dec. 8, 1670. That John Dandridge was the son of another John Dandridge, born 1606, whose parents were Bartholomew Dandridge (1580-1618) and Agnes Wilder (1580-1638) of the village of Drayton St. Leonard, near Culham.
Bartholomew and Agnes were great-great grandparents of Martha Washington through their son William Dandridge. Through their son John, they were the great-great-great-great-great grandparents of Daniel Dandridge.[2]
