The ancestry of George Washington is traced through the Royal line
of Denmark in the thirty-two generations to "THORFIN THE DANE," A. D. 1000, whose ancestors were of Schleswig, Denmark.
He settled in Yorkshire, England, prior to the Norman Conquest. The descent is traced in Denmark and England, from father to son,
down through the centuries, including branches in different shires, to JOHN WASHINGTON, the great-grandfather of General
GEORGE WASHINGTON, in twenty generations from THORFIN; with interesting personal matter
regarding nearly 500 members of the Family and their alliances in England and America.
The FAMILY OF WASHINGTON derives its name from the Village of Wassington, juxta Ravensworth (now called Wharleton),
in the Parish of Kirkby-Ravensworth, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Originally Evervicscire, the Eboricure of the Romans, or
Evereux, afterwards Ebor, at the time of the Conquest, and lastly Yorkshire. The people of this part of the country were all of
Scandinavian descent, and spoke the same language with the Normans themselves, which was the language of the
Ancient Angles. The Saxons never settled here, and were of a different race. The City of York having been long before that time
