Presidents Page 1. George Washington: born on February 22, 1732 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. His father died when George was 11. The tale of George cutting down the cherry tree was created by Parson Weems. It is not true. George liked to explore caves. When he was 20, he inherited Mount Vernon. That made him on of the largest land holders in Virginia. George Washington married Martha Dandridge Curtis. He was 26 and she was 27. She was a widow and had two children. Washington owned slaves. He freed his slaves in his will when he died.
