Actually, Washington never had wooden teeth.  He had dentures made out of ivory and human teeth.  And he probably never chopped down the cherry tree, the writer who wrote his biography had to fill in stuff for his childhood because there was so little information about it.

Assuming you’re talking about the big “W” George Washington, being born in 1732 he would be roughly 274 years old.  If you’re talking about Washington D.C. established in 1791, it’s 215 years old; if you’re talking about Booker T. Washington born in 1856, he would have been 150 years old this past April 5th.  If you’re talking about old man Washington who lives up the road, I think he’s about 66 year old. \n\nIf your Washington isn’t one of these, please be more specific.

If you can give more clues it might be helpful - any particular historical event or time period??  Right now I am drawing a blank on all of them - I will check back to see if you can add any info.

George Washington was the oldest child from his father's second marriage. Washington had two older half-brothers: Lawrence and Augustine, Jr. "Austin" and four younger siblings: Betty, Samuel, John Augustine "Jack", and Charles. Washington's parents Augustine Washington "Gus" (1693–April 12, 1743) and Mary Ball Washington (1708–August 25, 1789) were of British descent. Gus Washington was a slave-owning planter in Virginia who later tried his hand in iron-mining ventures.\n\nBob Higgins\nWorldwide Sawdust\nhttp://sawdust.eponym.com/blog\nhttp://www.myleftwing.com/frontPage.do

Welll, this site offers info about this battle, as well as an eyewitness account by an officer on George Washington's staff.  Scroll halfway down the page for the eyewitness account.\n\nhttp://theamericanrevolution.org/battles/bat_tren.asp\n\nAlso, the following site describes the lives of the soldiers and cites entries in their personal diaries about their conditions and view of the war:\n\nhttp://www.americanrevolution.org/soldier10.html

I was a tradition since George Washington only served two terms and refused to run for a third.  Franklin Delano Rosevelt, however, was elected to four terms but died before completing his fourth.  This led people to adopt the 22nd amendment.

Well, obviously it is not from 1789. In Denver? At that time, the US Constitution had only been signed for about a year, the Department of the Treasury was formed by Act of Congress that year. So you have a coin that commemerates the founding of the Treasury and shows the Treasury Dept bldg in Washington DC. There should be a date showing the striking date and a valuation somewhere on the coin. Good luck in finding out more about it. I would suggest looking at some numismatistic sites on google.

George Washington said something similar to that in his Farewell Address.  Just Google "George Washington Farewell Address" and you should find it.

I would probably try googling that or going to ask.com. (not to steer you away from this website!)\nAlso, I am an avid user of the library for everything like that. A library's reference section would probably have lots of info.\nOr, look into Thomas Jefferson information.. he played a big part in Virginia history and anywhere you see his name you'll probably find links to other historical facts about Virginia.

Actually, this is not George Washington. He was the first under the current constitution. However, there were 7 before him under the Articles of Confederation (they had the title: President of the United States in Congress Assembled). The first was John Hanson from November 5, 1781 until November 3, 1782. Under the articles, these guys had very little power, so we don't hear much about them.
