George washington parents

George Washington's legacy has been etched in United States History through his accomplishments as a General and President. He is known as the Father of his Country and was eulogized as "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." 

However, when studying History Books, his family is often not mentioned, with the exception of his wife. 

This is due to George Washington not being able to have children.

He would become a stepdad and the overseer of the Mount Vernon estate. He would be remembered as an excellent father, despite often being absent due to his civic duties, and a loving husband. He would be remembered in the names of his step-grandchildren.

His stepson spoke well of Washington in a letter written to him when he said that although it was hard losing his father at a young age, God could not have given him a better guardian.
