Tell about George Washington ?

Augustine moved the family up the Potomac River to another Washington family home, Little Hunting Creek Plantation, (later renamed Mount Vernon) in 1735 and then moved again in 1738 to Ferry Farm on the Rappahannock River, opposite Fredericksburg, Virginia, where George Washington spent much of his youth.

NO ONE WILL EVER RANK HIGHER THAN HIM IN THE U.S. MILITARY.

HE MADE A PRETTY HEFTY SALARY.

Little is known about George Washington's childhood, which fostered many of the fables later biographers manufactured to fill in the gap.

Among these are the stories that Washington threw a silver dollar across the Potomac and after chopping down his father's prize cherry tree, he openly confessed to the crime.

EVEN SO, HE HAD SOME CASH FLOW PROBLEMS.

It is known that from age seven to fifteen, George was home schooled and studied with the local church sexton and later a schoolmaster in practical math, geography, Latin and the English classics

HE WAS ONE OF THE SICKLIEST PRESIDENTS IN U.S. HISTORY.

But much of the knowledge he would use the rest of his life was through his acquaintance with backwoodsmen and the plantation foreman.

HE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE DIED AS A RESULT OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE.

By his early teens, he had mastered growing tobacco, stock raising and surveying

HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN INFERTILE.

George Washington’s father died when he was 11 and he became the ward of his half-brother, Lawrence, who gave him a good upbringing.

WASHINGTON'S BODY WAS ALMOST BURIED IN THE CAPITOL.

Lawrence had inherited the family's Little Hunting Creek Plantation and married Anne Fairfax, the daughter of Colonel William Fairfax, patriarch of the well to do Fairfax family

HE WAS NOT VERY RELIGIOUS.

Under her tutorage, George was schooled in the finer aspects of colonial culture.

HE NEVER CHOPPED DOWN THAT CHERRY TREE.

HE WAS AN INVETERATE LETTER-WRITER.

In 1748, when he was 16, George traveled with a surveying party plotting land in Virginia’s western territory. The following year, aided by Lord Fairfax, Washington received an appointment as official surveyor of Culpeper County.

For two years he was very busy surveying the land in Culpeper, Frederick and Augusta counties. The experience made him resourceful and toughened his body and mind.

. BEFORE BECOMING THE FATHER OF THE NATION, HE WAS A MASTER SURVEYOR.

It also piqued his interest in western land holdings, an interest that endured throughout his life with speculative land purchases and a belief that the future of the nation lay in colonizing the West.

BEFORE FIGHTING THE BRITISH, HE FOUGHT FOR THE BRITISH.

HE WAS A DOG LOVER.
