Part II of II. Ref. The Herald, Sun. Feb. 7, 1999. NW Life, Sec. D, p. 1D, By JERRY WARD, Special to The Herald QUOTED IN PART AS FOLLOWS: Edmonds man looks at a novel about his famous relative Editor's Note: Scores of descendants from the Washington family exist today. Gerald Lee "Jerry" Ward, a descendant, has a roomful of Washington memorabilia in his Edmonds home. Though George Washington had no biological children, he had several siblings, one of which was his younger brother John Augustine Washington. John had a son named Corbin, who had a son named Bushrod, who fathered Thomas, who named his son Bushrod. Bushrod Washington, a lieutenant in the Civil War, had a daughter named Katherine. Katherine married and had a son named Charles Ward, who was Jerry Ward's father. Ward, the fifth greatgrandnephew of George Washington, graciously accepted the task of reviewing "Citizen Washington," William Martin's historical saga of the founder of our country. (End of Editor's Note - CC.). (CC.- Then the article continues to tell about the book "Citizen Washington" by author William Martin, avail. via Warner Books, at $27. copy for those who might care for that info. The book is of the man, and his Legacy to us all.) I will not review further the book & its contents, but I did care to capture the Editor's Note for the genealogy revealed by it that relates to Writer/Desc. Ward, but for other Readers who might relate to this Family among our 250+ PSRoots family, or perhaps their friends or acquaintances down the pike. There is a good Ref. book on the Presidents of the U.S.[ at Snoh. Libr. et al] and their descendants & kin. I cannot name the exact title; other data at the moment. Ask your librarian or access data. After purusing it myself several yrs ago, I had just read about Ike Eisenhower, when I met a lady Teacher; we got to talking about gen. & of course I asked her what some of her surnames was and she mentioned one & immediately I recognized it as one of the Eisenhower Fam. surnames, and she acknowledged knowing that about her gen. but she didn't have the data. So, during our Noon break, I skooted over to our Library in Snoh. got the surname info about her tie to the Eisenhower Fam. and she was most elated to get the details that had been known but obscure. What timing !! More, later, prior to President's Day Feb 15th Monday TWAS INTERESTING SEEING, VIA TV, THE 4 PRESIDENTS, PRESENT, HONORING LATE KING HUSSEIN OF JORDAN whose ham radio call letters were JY1 who had ham friends in Puget Sound - in particular, Norm Ray of S Bothell/Woodinville whose call letter, W7LFA, exchanged many hours of chatting on a first name basis over the years. NOT genealogy, but certainly a part of history within the Sound area's activities relative to People. Norman Ray hails from Anacortes, WA. in 1947& prior. Carroll, Snohomish.
