The Royal Lineage of the Lewis and Washington Families

The Lewis family of Warner Hall rose to prominence through the marriage of Elizabeth Warner and John Lewis, inheriting Warner Hall from the Warner line founded by Augustine Warner Sr..

From this union came Fielding Lewis, who married Betty Washington, sister of George Washington, linking the Lewises to America’s founding family. Another Warner branch connects directly to the British Crown, making both the Lewis and Washington families distant kin to Queen Elizabeth II and the House of Windsor (FamousKin chart).

Thus, the Lewises stand at the center of a unique royal legacy—binding together America’s first president and Britain’s modern monarchy.
