In September, 1648, Richard Price, of High Holborn, deposed that Lawrence Washington, son of Sir L. Washington, late Registrar of Chancery, "went to Oxford, when a garrison for the King, and paid £200 to his kinsman George Washington, who waits on the Duke of Richmond, to be sworn of the Privy Chamber to the King. Also that at the siege of Gloucester, he quartered with the Duke of Richmond's gentlemen, within 2 miles of the leaguer." In the Calendar of the Committee for Advance of Money, I find an item referring to the same matter, though entered as Washington, Gersey, near Malmesbury, co. Wilts." A request was then made for prosecution of Washington, and benefit of the discovery, on the ground that he had "set forth four men and horses in the late King's service, had his horse shot under him at Newbury fight, Here Lyeth ye Body of Lavrence | Washington Esq" the only Son of Sr Lavrence Washington who | Departed this life Jan 17 was Bvried Feb 11 Ano Dni 1661 and | Inclosed By Elinor his Wife | April 18 Ano.
