Pardon my intrusion, but I highly suspect there may be some mis-information here. George Washington's wife was the daughter of John & Frances DANDRIDGE, hence not aMAKEPEACE.
Abel MAKEPEACE (b. abt. 1545) married as his 2nd wife Mary WASHINGTON. Mary was b. about 170-180 years before George WASHINGTON and was a 3rd or 4th great-aunt of the 1st US President.
I have never found anything substantial that places this MAKEPEACE lineage in Bristol... all indications are that they were well established in Chipping Warden, Northamptonshire and Burton Dasset, Warwickshire.
Thomas MAKEPEACE (B. 1595) who emigrated to the US was a grand-nephew of Abel & Mary (WASHINGTON) MAKEPEACE, therefore no established WASHINGTON lineage in the American descendants of Thomas MAKEPEACE.
Best Regards to all and hoping not to offend anyone.
