All of these circumstances together support that Ann Wickliffe is highly likely, and as much as can ever be ascertained, the daughter of David II Wickliffe.

Ann Wickliffe married Captain John Washington (son of Colonel John Washington, the immigrant) about 1690. [12] After John Washington II's death (between 11 Mar 1697/8 when his will was signed, and 10 Apr 1698 when it was proved)[13] , Ann married Colonel Charles Ashton. She is said to have died about 1704.[14]

2. Lawrence Washington (abt 1692-1740)
3. John Washington (1692–1741)
