Grayson.

Lund Washington((5)), Sr., of Chotank, married, second, Miss Sarah Johnson, daughter of Capt. John Johnson, of Worcester Co., Maryland, and Susan Quinton, his wife, of Accomac. The Johnsons and Quintons were planters on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia, in Colonial times. They had three children:
I. Peter George Washington((6)), a banker of New York City, and died there. He was born about 1823.
II. Col. Littleton Quinton Washington((6)), born in Washington, D. C., Nov. 3, 1825; never married, and died in Washington.
III. Mary Mason Washington((6)), b. Sept. 22, 1899; wife of Dr. Warrick Evans, of Washington, whom she married about 1850.
Col. Littleton Quinton Washington((6)) (Lund((5)), Robert((4)), Townsend((3)), John((2)), Laurence((1))), born in Washington, D. C., Nov. 3, 1825, of the famous Washington family, of Chotank, a collateral line with that of President George Washington. Col. L. Q. Washington was in the Confederate States service as Chief Clerk of the State Department, and acted as Assistant Secretary of State. After the war he adopted the press for his profession, occupying a seat in the press gallery of Congress, as correspondent of the Washington Intelligencer, London Telegraph, New Orleans Picayune, and other papers, in 1869. He lived with his brother-in-law, Dr. Warwick Evans, of Washington, D. C., for 55 years, except the time he was in the Confederacy. Shortly before his death, he told one of his nieces who were watching at his bedside, that he would choke to death, as his mother had done before him. A few minutes afterwards he died in a rigid convulsion of the throat.
He was a typical Southerner; his father, Mr. Lund Washington, Sr., of Chotank, King George Co., Va., was likewise a typical Southerner, a Virginian of the old school, named for his uncle, Mr. Lund Washington, of "Hayfield," the factor, kinsman, and confidential correspondent of President George Washington. An uncle of Col. Washington, when but 17 years of age, died on a British hospital ship, the Jersey, rather than take the oath of allegiance to the English government. Through his father, Col. Washington was related to the Masons of Gunston Hall, to the Stuart, Date, Foote, Strother, Lund, and Townsend families.
