Washington (unidentified)

Unidentified historical person / research leadUnder Investigation· 0 sourcesNo verified portrait

A lead, not an ancestor. A Native American man recorded or remembered as Washington, associated with Washington County, Virginia, and with an enslaved woman. Nothing about his dates, his community, his tribal affiliation or any connection to Agnes or to Hilliard has been documented by this archive. He is held here so the lead can be tracked, tested and, if the evidence goes against it, closed.

    1 observation drawn from this source

    DIRECT DESCENDANT TESTIMONY. This is Lucretia Alexander speaking about her own parents, grandparents, enslavers and migration. It is first-person family testimony, not independent civil, probate or church documentation. Nothing in it becomes a documented fact merely because it is specific. Page locators pending verification against the printed edition.

Observations From the Record

  • Lucretia states that Agnes's father was a free Indian named Washington, and that Agnes's mother was enslaved.
