Wow, thanks Jane! In a message dated 9/28/2010 9:40:55 P.M.

(I have other ancestors who had land adjacent to Geo's. there and family lore says they knew him when he visited Bath which is present day Berkeley Springs, WV.) One of the interesting things about Geo. Washington is that he had "slaves" working on that Fayette land; however, most of those "slaves" were actually indentured white servants.
