Lawrence Washington, elder half-brother of George Washington, was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Following education in England, he served in the War of Jenkins' Ear as a captain in the Virginia Foot Regiments under Admiral Edmund Vernon. He then returned to Virginia to oversee Little Hunting Creek, the Fairfax estate that he would inherit after the death of his father in 1743. That same year Washington married Anne Fairfax (1728–1761).
