You sound like you might know alot about the Washingtons. My interest is mainly in Mildred, for now, and her second husband, Roger Gregory. I am trying to establish the relationship between Roger Gregory and the Richard Gregory of King William Co., VA who married Agnes West. I believe they are brothers, but I haven't found anything that certifies my hunch except for a cryptic excerpt from some notes describing some Gregory family papers held at the Library of Virginia. The description goes as follows: ----- The Gregory family was prominent in early Virginia history, dating back to the 1620s. "Elsing Green", in King William County, was the home of the Gregory's for more than a century, until 1935. Richard Gregory, a justice in King and Queen County, was the father of Roger and Richard. Roger (ca. 1690-1732) married Mildred Washington, daughter of Lawrence Washington, and deeded the Mount Vernon estate to Augustine Washington, George Washington's father. Richard married a Miss West and they had several children including Roger (b. 1729) married to Mary Cole Claiborne (d. 1771) and Fanny Lowry. ----- This excerpt leads me to think that the Roger Gregory (1690-1732) who married Mildred Washington is the brother of the Richard Gregory who married Agnes West. I've found many who are researching Richard and Agnes, and many who are researching Roger and Mildred, but I haven't found any who are researching Richard and Roger as brothers. Am I on the right track? Or am I grasping at straws? Thanks for you help.

(Va.) Highgate is referred to as the Home of the Washington's. Mildred Warner Reede, of Warner Hall, married Lawrence Washington, eldest son of Col. John Washington, the immigrant in 1691. Within a few years, she was widowed with 3 children, John Augustine and Mildred. John, the eldest, married Catharine Whiting of Gloucester and made their home at Highgate, on the Piankatank River. Augustine made his home in Westmoreland Co. and as his second wife married Mary Ball who were the parents of Gen. George Washington. Mildred married first to John Lewis (d. 1718), son of Capt. Edward Lewis; second to Roger Gregory and third to Lewis Willis. Jane Goodsell, CC Gloucester Co., VaGenWeb
