Prince Lewis of Pope's Creek

Lewis William Washington, 4th Prince of Pope's Creek (November 30, 1812 – October 1, 1871)[1][2] was a great-grandnephew of President George Washington, who is principally remembered as a hostage of abolitionist John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia and as a prosecution witness in the subsequent trial of Brown.

Lewis Washington was the son of George Corbin Washington, the grandson of William Augustine Washington, and a great-grandson of Augustine Washington, half-brother of George Washington.[3] Lewis Washington inherited Beall-Air near Halltown, West Virginia through his mother, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Beall. He made his home at Beall-Air from 1840 until his death in 1871.[4]
