GROUNDED SHIP
DETERMINED FATE
OF WASHINGTON
George Washington might
have lived and died on the
wrong side of the Atlantic if an
English ship had not gone a
ground in the Potomac River
in the 1650’s.
' Serving as mate on the ship,
reports World Book Enclclope
dia, was John Washington,
great-grandfather of George. By
the unit, un.- J,
Tie had decided to marry and
settle in Virginia.
Washington had little money
when he arrived in America.
But within 20 years he owned
more than 5.000 acres of land,
•including the land that later
became Mount Vernon.
The ancestral home of the
Washingtons in England was
Sul grave Manor, in Northamp
-lonshire. In 1914 the British
government bought the house
'to celebrate 100 years of peace
between Britain and the United
States.
