    Early life and education


    George Washington was born in Westmoreland Country on February 22.1732, the first son of Augustine Washington and his second wife Mary Ball Washington . Moving to Ferry Farm in Stafford Country at age 6, George was educated in the home by his father and older brother. In his youth, Washington worked as a surveyor (a person who determines the boundaries and area of tracts of lands), and acquired what would become invaluable knowledge of the terrain around his native Colony of Virginia.

    Career
    Washington embarked upon a career as a planter, which historians defined as those who held 20 or more slaves. In 1748 he was invited to help survey Lord Fairfaxs lands west of the Blue Ridge. In 1749, he was appointed to his first public office, surveyor of newly created Culpeper country. After his brother Lawrence died in 1752, George inherited part of his estate and took over some of Lawrences duties as adjutant of the colony. Washington was appointed a distinct adjutant general in the Virginia militia in 1752, which appointed him Major Washington at age of 20.
