THE WASHINGTONS AND THEIR COLONIAL HOMES IN WEST VIRGINIA. BY MYNNA THRUSTON George Washington was sixteen and wanted to go to sea. His half-brother, Lawrence, with whom he wa~ staying, thought it might be a good way for him to sef~ the world. His trunk was already aboard the vessel that lay in the river beyond the lawn at Mount 'l ernon. A ·mess·age arrived from his Mother at Ferry Farm be­ lo·w Fredericksburg, which changed his plans. She had written to her half-brother in England, Joseph Ball, telling him of the plan for young George. His U·ncle was strongly against it. "They might treat the boy like a dog if he went to sea before the mast, better ap­ prentice him to a tinker." So the little trunk was brought ashore, and he settled do-\vn to his studies at Mount Vernon, supervised by his brother, Lawrence, who took great interest in them.
