George Washington was born on February 22, 1732 to Mary Ball Washington and Augustine Washington. In 1734, his family moved a house near the Potomac River,  which would later be known as Mount Vernon. In 1738, his family moved yet again to Frederick, Virginia. At age 11, he inherited 10 slaves from his father, which George would use for farming. At age 16, he copied down 110 rules for behavior.

George Washington fought in the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War.  

In The French And Indian War, George Washington was commander and leader for all of Virginia's troops. Also in the French and Indian War, four horses were shot and killed from underneath him.

In The Revolutionary War, George Washington led the Continental Army, and led the Virginia militia. In Valley Forge, there is a fable that George Washington went off into the woods and prayed to God to help his troops.

George Washington died on December 14th, 1799,  around 10 or 11 pm, of a throat infection. He was naturally afraid of being buried alive, so he asked the people around him not to bury him until three days after he died.  On December 18th, 1799, George Washington was laid in his casket and his funeral was held.
