Selby Abbey, according to Dr Robson, in his 1969 Selby Abbey & Town book wrote, in a south clerestory window is the Washington family heraldic arms, traditionally although inaccurately held to be the source of the 'Stars & Stripes'. The shield probably commemorates John Wessington, prior of Durham. Hemingbrough's St Mary the Virgin Church's limestone Tower & Spire built under the direction of prior John de Wessington 1416-46, is undoubtedly a more visible link to this notable family.

Noted events in his life were:

John married Joan DE CROFT before 1382.
The child from this marriage was:
394240 i. John DE WESSYNGTON, Prior of Durham (born about 1382 in Whitfield, Lancaster, England - died in 1446 in Durham, England)
788481. Joan DE CROFT, daughter of John DE CROFT and Unknown,.
Research Notes: The origin of the estate seems to be shown by a pleading of 1291, by which Isolda widow of William de Croft claimed a piece of moor in Warton in Kendal against Ingram de Gynes, Christiana his wife, Jordan and Robert reeves of Warton and many others. The defendants stated they claimed nothing but housebote and heybote; Ingram was lord of Warton in right of his wife. Roger [Gilbert] son of Roger son of Reyner, formerly lord of the whole of Kendal, enfeoffed one Hugh de Rotseye of lands in the vill of Warton, and the tenement claimed by Isolda was within the bounds of that grant. Hugh son of the said Hugh had enfeoffed Isolda, who recovered seisin; Assize R. 407, m. 1.
In 1292 William de Asmunderlaw claimed 60 acres in Tewitmire and Warton against the same Isolda as heir of his grandmother Clarice de Asmunderlaw. The placename was wrongly spelt in the writ, and Isolda said that plaintiff knew there was no vill in the county called 'Tinitemire'; it should have been the vill of 'Tiwhitemire' in Warton; Assize R. 408, m. 8 d.
In another claim by William it appeared that Gilbert de Lancaster had granted the tenement to Thomas de Rigmaiden, whose son John warranted to John the son of Isolda. Gilbert son of Roger son of Gilbert de Lancaster, called to warrant by John de Rigmaiden, was a minor; ibid. m. 40 d.
In 1308 Roger de Croft summoned Robert de Leyburne and Isolda his wife to warrant to him land claimed in dower by Isolda widow of John de Rigmaiden; De Banco R. 173, m. 246 d. Isolda widow of William de Croft appears again in 1316; ibid. 215, m. 182.
John de Croft (of Durslet in Dalton) held a plough-land in Tewitmire in 1346, paying 5d. (for castle ward); Surv. of 1346, p. 82.
In the following year he was said to have held a messuage and 60 acres in Tewitmire of the manor of Warton by suit of court and of mill (to the thirteenth measure) and 2˝d. His son Adam had died before him, leaving a son John, aged five, who was heir of the grandfather; Inq. p.m. 21 Edw. III (1st nos.), no. 42; Cal. Close, 1346\endash 9, p. 339.
Emma the widow of John de Croft claimed dower there; ibid. 431.
In a deed of 1356 (?) it is stated that John the son of Adam had died leaving a daughter and heir Joan, who had been married though under age; Dods. MSS. cviii, fol. 111. She was no doubt the wife of John de Washington.

General Notes: Walter Blount (soldier)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Walter Blount (d. 1403), was a soldier and supporter of John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster.
Blount was almost certainly the son of Sir John Blount of Sodington, by his second wife, Eleanor Beauchamp, widow of Sir John Meriet. In 1367 he accompanied the Black Prince and John of Gaunt in their expedition to Spain to restore Don Pedro the Cruel to the throne of Leon and Castile. After the return of the expedition, which was successfully terminated by the battle of Navarette (1367), Blount married Donna Sancha de Ayála, the daughter of Don Diego Gomez, who held high office in Toledo, by his wife (of very high family), Donna Inez de Ayála. Donna Sancha appears to have first come to England in attendance on Constantia, the elder daughter of King Pedro, whom John of Gaunt married in 1372. In 1374 John Blount, Sir Walter's half-brother, who had succeeded his mother, Isolda Mountjoy, in the Mountjoy property, made over to Walter the Mountjoy estates in Derbyshire, and to them Walter added by purchase, in 1381, the great estates of the Bakepuiz family in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Hertfordshire. Permission was granted Blount in 1377 to proceed with Duke John of Gaunt to Castile in order to assert the duke's right by virtue of his marriage to the throne of Leon and Castile; but the expedition did not start till 1386, when Blount probably accompanied it. On 17 April 1393 he, with Henry Bowet [q. v.] and another, was appointed to negotiate a permanent peace with the king of Castile. In 1398 Duke John granted to Blount and his wife, with the king's approval, an annuity of 100 marks in consideration of their labours in his service. Blount was an executor of John of Gaunt, who died early in 1399, and received a small legacy. He represented Derbyshire in Henry IV's first parliament, which met on 6 Oct. 1399. At the battle of Shrewsbury (23 July 1403) he was the king's standard-bearer, and was killed by Archibald, fourth earl of Douglas, one of the bravest followers of Henry Percy (Hotspur). Blount was dressed in armour resembling that worn by Henry IV, and was mistaken by Douglas for the king (Walsingham, Hist. Anglicana, ed. Riley, ii. 258; Annales Henrici Quarti, 367, 369). Shakespeare gives Blount, whom he calls Sir Walter Blunt, a prominent place in the first part of his 'Henry IV,' and represents both Hotspur and Henry IV as eulogising his military prowess and manly character. He was buried in the church St. Mary 'of Newark,' Leicester. His widow Donna Sancha lived till 1418. In 1406 she founded the hospital of St. Leonards, situate between Alkmonton and Hungry-Bentley, Derbyshire. Sir Walter had two sons: 1. Sir John, who was at one time governor of Calais; was in 1482 besieged in a castle of Aquitaine by a great French army, which he defeated with a small force (Walsingham, Ypodigma Neustrić, Rolls Ser., p. 437); was created knight of the Garter in 1413; and was present at the siege of Rouen in 1418: 2. Sir Thomas, who was treasurer of Calais during Henry VI's wars in France (Stevenson's Letters, &c., illustrating the wars in France temp. Henry VI, Rolls Ser., ii. passim), and founded a chantry at Newark in 1422 (at the expense of the Duke of Exeter) in memory of his father and mother. Sir John died without male issue. Sir Thomas was the father (by Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Gresley of Gresley, Derbyshire) of Sir Walter Blount, 1st Baron Mountjoy .

General Notes: Gerald FitzGerald, 3rd Earl of Desmond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerald fitzMaurice FitzGerald, also known by the Irish Gaelic "Gearóid Iarla" (Earl Gerald), was the 3rd Earl of Desmond , in southwestern Ireland , under the first creation of that title, and a member of the Hiberno-Norman dynasty of the FitzGeralds , or Geraldines .He was the son of Maurice FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Desmond and brother too Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd Earl of Desmond.
Gerald was made Lord Chief Justice of Ireland in 1367. In 1370, he was imprisoned by Brian O'Brien of Thomond . While in prison, Gerald wrote poetry in the Irish language , most famously the poem "Mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh" ("Speak not ill of womenkind"). Indeed, Gerald was instrumental in replacing French with Irish as the preferred language of the Hiberno-Norman aristocracy, and typified the cliché among later Irish historians that the Geraldines were "more Irish than the Irish themselves."
In local legend, Gerald was romantically linked with the goddess Áine , a legend which drew upon a pre-existing local Celtic legend about liaisons between Áine and the King of Munster , Ailill Aulom , but updated it with themes drawn from the Francophone courtly love poetry of Continental Europe, in particular the motif of the man who falls in love with a swan maiden.
After his disappearance in 1398, another legend grew up that Gerald sleeps in a cave beside (or under) Lough Gur , and will someday awaken and ride forth on a silver-shod steed to rule again in Desmond (or, alternatively, "save Ireland").
Noted events in his life were:

CROWN PLEAS HELD BEFORE THE LORD KING EDWARD THE THIRD SINCE THE CONQUEST IN HIS FULL PARLIAMENT AT WESTMINSTER ON MONDAY NEXT AFTER THE FEAST OF ST CATHERINE THE VIRGIN, IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF THE SAME KING EDWARD [26 November 1330].
Against Thomas of Berkeley. Gloucester, Worcester.
Thomas of Berkeley, knight, came before the lord king in his full aforesaid parliament, and spoke of this, that since the Lord Edward late king of England, the father of the present lord king, was lately delivered into the safekeeping of Thomas and of a certain John Maltravers to be kept in the castle of Thomas at Berkeley in the county of Gloucester, and was murdered and killed in the same castle in the keeping of Thomas and John, he wishes to acquit himself of the death of the same king, and says that he was never an accomplice, a helper or a procurer in his death, nor did he ever know of his death until this present parliament. And of this he is ready to acquit himself, as the king's court will consider. And on this it was asked of him, that since he is lord of the aforesaid castle, and the same lord king was delivered into the keeping of Thomas and John to be kept safely, and they received and accepted the keeping of the king, how can he excuse himself, but that he should be answerable for the death of the king. And the aforesaid Thomas says that it is true that he is lord of the aforesaid castle, and that he together with John Maltravers received the keeping of the king to be kept safely, as is said above. But he says that at the time when it is said the lord king was murdered and killed, he was detained with such and so great an illness outside the aforesaid castle at Bradley that he remembers nothing of this. And thereupon it was said to him, that since he knew that he together with the said John had the keeping of the lord king, as is said above, and he placed his keepers and officials under him to carry out the keeping for him, if he can excuse himself through any illness, but that he ought to answer in this regard. And the aforesaid Thomas says that he placed under him such keepers and officials in the aforesaid castle in order to carry out the keeping, whom he considered as if himself, who, together with the aforesaid John Maltravers, then had the keeping of the king. Whereupon he says that concerning the death of the lord king he is not guilty of helping, approving or procuring his death. [col. b] And on this, for good or ill, he puts himself on the country. Therefore the jurors came thereupon before the lord king in his parliament at Westminster on the octave of St Hilary next following [20 January 1331] etc. On which day the aforesaid Thomas came before the lord king in his full parliament and the jurors similarly, namely, John Darcy, John of Wisham, William Trussel, Roger of Swynnerton, Constantine de Mortimer, John de St Philibert, Richard de Rivers, Peter Husee, John of Brington, Richard de la Rivere, Roger Dabenhale and Richard de Crouperes, all knights, who say on their oath that the aforesaid Thomas of Berkeley is not guilty of the death of the aforesaid lord King Edward, the father of the present lord king; nor of approving, helping or procuring the same death: and they said that at the time of the death of the same Lord King Edward, the father of the present king, he was outside his aforesaid castle at Bradley with such a grave illness that he despaired of his life. Therefore the same Thomas is quit thereof. And the jurors having been asked if the same Thomas ever withdrew himself on the aforesaid occasion, replied no. And because the aforesaid Thomas placed keepers and officials under him, namely Thomas de Gurney and William Ogle [Ockley], to carry out the keeping of the lord king, by whom the same lord king was murdered and killed, a day was given to him before the present lord king in his next parliament to hear his judgment etc. And meanwhile the aforesaid Thomas of Berkeley is committed to Ralph de Neville, steward of the lord king's household, etc.

Research Notes: About 1280 Richard of Charlton had land in Aston, (fn. 71) and Sir John Charlton (d. 1374) held a messuage and a virgate of Shrewsbury abbey. His widow Joan (d. 1397) held it in dower (fn. 72) and their son John (d. 1401) succeeded her. (fn. 73) The estate seems to have descended thereafter with Charlton (in Wrockwardine) (fn. 74) until 1588, when Edward Grey sold Charlton and his Aston estate (by then regarded as appurtenant to Charlton) to Francis Newport. (fn. 75) From 1598 it descended with the estate that Newport inherited from his mother. (fn. 76) A 16th-century claim by the Vernons to the former Charlton estate (fn. 77) seems to have been dropped in 1611. (fn. 78)
