Anne writes, “Could you flesh out that descendency from Martiou to George 
Washington? My understanding is that John Washington married the daughter 
of Nathanial Pope, Ann, if I remember correctly. Is the connection from 
Martiou to Ann Pope?"



Hi Anne,

Sure, I'd be glad to. (I like Capt. Martiau, if you couldn’t tell!) The Martiaus 
come into the Washington line through the Warners:


1  Capt. Nicolas Martiau 
2. Elizabeth Martiau m. Colonel Geoge Reade
3. Mildred Reade m. Colonel Augustine Warner II 
4. Mildred Warner m. Laurence Washington
5. Colonel Augustine Washington m. Mary Ball
6. George Washington

Since Martiau was born in Ile de Ré, France, the French Ambassador dedicated 
a statue of Washington at Saint-Martin de Ré in October 2007. On the base of 
the monument is a medallion representing Martiau.


All the best, 
Connie
