This hair relic remained in the family until offered for sale by Christie's..."". The Washington lock descended in the family of nephew George Steptoe Washington to his great granddaughter Martha Washington of Philadelphia great-great-grandniece of President George Washington. Both locks are accompanied by full provenance.
