George Washington owned land in Fayette County, wonder if Wynne's bought any of it???? _[Diary entry: 2 May 1787]_ ([1] http://rotunda.upress.virginia.edu/founders/default.xqy?keys=GEWN-search-1 -9&expandNote=all#match) ... my tract of land in fayette & washington counties: GW advertised for sale his two tracts of land in Pennsylvania: a 2,800acre tract in Washington County and a 1,650acre tract, originallly in Washington County and subsequently in Fayette County ... Now there is a project for the cousins in Fayette do we know where Washington's land was in Fayette??? Cuz Connie Hi, Connie, Washington's land was in the northwestern part of Fayette, centering on what is today Perryopolis where he had a mill and distillery. (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.
