It is the product of much research. Even so, I don't guarantee its accuracy. This far back I don't think 100% certainty is possible.
The history of the Bottrill family goes back to before the Norman Conquest. The Boterel family can now be found in Australia, America,Canada, and many counties in England - Yorkshire, Northamptonshire, Shropshire and London. The history of the family can be followed in a series of historical novels, the first being 'The king's toads'.

BARDOLPH TO GEORGE WASHINGTON
Apologies for the format - it wasn't easy to put this on at all.

GEORGE WASHINGTON’S Scottish origin?
GEORGE WASHINGTON’S Scottish origin?
What is the evidence for a Scottish origin for George
Washington? Various sites claim that
William de Wessington (possibly known previously as William de Hertburn) was
the son of Earl Gospatrick of Dunbar or Sir Patrick of the Hirsel. I can find no sound evidence for this.
The book at Sunderland City Council I mentioned is ‘Johnson
Margot: The Washington family in Britain’, published in 20th century.
I must caution again against literal reliance on previous authorities, who are
often quoted as gospel. Do your own
research!
Her tree shown below (my apologies for the poor quality), fails
to mark any direct connection between William de Hertburn and Gospatrick. William
did marry Margaret of Huntingdon, countess of Richmond and Duchess of Brittany,
and has in fact only been included as her husband.
