Lawrence Augustine Washington

Lawrence Augustine Washington (April 11, 1774 - February 15, 1824)^{[citation needed]} was a nephew of United States President George Washington and son of Samuel Washington and his fourth wife, Anne Steptoe.^[1]

Lawrence was born at Harewood in what is now Jefferson County, West Virginia in 1774.^{[citation needed]} After his father's death, he, along with his brother George Steptoe and sister Harriot, went to live with their uncle George Washington for a time. The future president paid for him and his brother to be educated at Georgetown academy, where according to historian Ron Chernow, "they were wild and uncontrollable and a constant trial to Washington".^[1] Lawrence Augustine married Mary Dorcas Wood on November 6, 1797 in Winchester, Virginia. Together, the couple had four children. It is through his son, Dr. Lawrence Augustine Washington, that a direct Washington family lineage exists today.
