The Washingtons: A Family History, Volume One—the Most Expansive Family History of the
Washingtons Ever Produced—Debuts
El Dorado Hills, CA August 18, 2014 – Author Justin Glenn begins his
nine-volume, fifteen generation history with, The Washingtons: A Family
History, Volume One. This expansive history traces the “Presidential line”
of the Washingtons, starting with immigrant John Washington, who
settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1657, married Anne Pope,
and was the great-grandfather of President George Washington.
“As a young man in my late twenties, I marveled that no one had collected
and published a comprehensive record of the Washington family,” said
author Glenn. “Now that I am sixty-nine years old, I know why. To
accomplish this required that I start very young, devote virtually all of my
spare time to it for nearly forty years, and have the good fortune to receive
enormous help along the way from the leading authority on the
Washington family who has published extremely little of his voluminous
research.”
This volume continues the story of John and Anne’s family for a total of seven generations, collecting
over 5,000 direct descendants. Future volumes will trace eight more generations with a total of over
63,000 descendants. Some of the more notable descendants included in future volumes are General
George S. Patton, the author Shelby Foote, and the actor Lee Marvin.
Although structured in a genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no bare bones genealogy but
a true family history with over 1,200 detailed biographical narratives. These in turn strive to convey the
greatness of the family that produced not only The Father of His Country but many others, great and
humble, who struggled to build that country.
The Washingtons: A Family History, Volume One (ISBN-13:978-1-94066-926-7), is now available on
Amazon published by Savas Publishing, a Division of Savas Beatie.
“Although the surname Washington is perhaps the best known in American history and much has been
written about the Washington family for well over a century, it is surprising that no comprehensive
family history has been published,” said John Frederick Dorman, editor of The Virginia Genealogist
(1957-2006) and author of Adventures of Purse and Person.
Dorman continued, “Justin M. Glenn’s The Washingtons: A Family History finally fills this void for the
branch to which General and President George Washington belonged, identifying some 63,000
descendants. This is truly a family history, not a mere tabulation of names and dates, providing
biographical accounts of many of the descendants of John Washington who settled in Westmoreland
County, Virginia, in 1657. . . . Each individual section is followed by extensive listings of published

2. 2
and manuscript sources supporting the information presented and errors of identification in previous
publications are commented upon as appropriate.”
