yes born 2/22 in virginia. Was the first born son of Augustine's 2nd marriage. His mother was Mary Ball of Epping Forest of North East London..so this makes him of English ancestory in my book.

.although he was of virginia he worked along side British Major General Braddock (commander in chief of the British forces of all North America)who was from England. Washington was one of his aids from the Colonies. After Washingtons defeat at fort necessity,pa he took his british troops back to Williamsburg while the French that defeted them at the fort enjoyed the British retreat and used this point to attack the Indians....During this battle is when Braddock was wounded and burried a mile from the Now Fort Necessity on Braddocks trail as is known...

So ok he was from Virginia but worked for and along side the British back in those days..was even an aid to the most powerfull british commander.....and like stated...mother was from North London, England......guess this makes him .......french???
and he did impose the first tax on the citizens in order to gather money to carry out his goals as our 1st Pres of this great America...
