Washington, William Lanier, 1865-1933
Washington, William Lanier (1865-1933): William Lanier Washington, a descendant of George Washington’s older half-brother Augustine, sold off Washington relics and memorabilia at auctions in the early 1900s. While most of the early sales were of authentic relics, William Lanier later sold fake relics with Washington family crests attached to them in partnership with noted Washingtoniana collector Henry Woodhouse.
