Brief Biography of George Washington Life began for Washington on February 22, 1732 on his father’s plantation on Pope 's Creek in Westmoreland County, Virginia, as the son of Augustine Washington and his second wife, Mary Ball. It wouldn’t be until 1752, when Washington’s half-brother, Lawrence Washington, died that George Washington would inherit Mount Vernon. And it was only after his marriage to the wealthy widow Martha Dandridge Custis that he was able to rise to the highest echelons of Virginia’s planter society. Although there is much that is unknown about Washington’s childhood, some events and influences stand out.

Washington was not formally educated past the approximate age of 15. At age 17 he became a surveyor on the Virginia frontier. In 1753 France and Great Britain were vying for sovereignty of a vast area known as the Ohio Territory. In late autumn of that year, Washington volunteered, along with his guide, Christopher Gist, to undertake a dangerous mission to deliver an ultimatum from Virginia’s Governor Dinwiddie, demanding that the French abandon the region. On Washington’s return trip to Virginia, he narrowly escaped death after falling from a raft into the Allegheny River’s icy water.
