Wash is an old pet form of Washington, so look for the same person under Washington as well.
Wash is a short form of Washington, which was used as a man's given name. Because Wash is also an ordinary word, an index search on it can bring up odd results, so search for the full name too.
Do not take Wash and Washington for two different people too quickly. Compare ages, places and the names of relatives to confirm that both names belong to one man.
