Wills of George Washington and His Immediate AncestorsWorthington Chauncey Ford Historical Print. Club, 1891 - 210 halaman I have obtained copies of the wills of the immediate ancestors of George Washington, and print them with certain others, as matters of personal as well as historical interest. The wills of John, the immigrant, and of George Washington, are taken from the originals; the others are from certified copies, made by the custodians of the originals. I have followed the Mss. closely, adding a few notes, in which I have received great assistance from Rev. Horace Edwin Hayden, of Wilkesbarre, Pa. -- the author. |
