Interesting article, however, anyone with a small knowledge of history would know that Oliver Cromwell turned down the position of monarch when offered the Crown of England after the civil war. So the premise that George Washington was the only man in history to do this is incorrect. But this makes two that I know of. Anyone aware of any others???

If George Washington had been made monarch, this Texas family might be American royalty today.

I beleive a King should only be appointed by deeds of a great leader by it's people. Kingship should not be passed down it these great traits are non existing in bloodline by observation. Kings should only be appointed by it's peers for positively changing the moral landscape of it's civilization. King is a King appointed by it's people but can a King be a Divine King appointed by GOD? YES!!! A Divine King is different from a Monarch King because Divine Kings "Jesus Christ" only comes along by GOD'S necessary demands. A Divine King is defined by Divine Powers....NoelAnthonyHaughey

George Washington may be the Father of Our Country, but that was the only thing he fathered. You see, George was unable to father children because of the smallpox and tuberculosis he had as a child. Thus, George Washington has no descendents because he fathered no children of his own. So, any myth of royalty proposed by this article is, well, crap.

FactCheck.Org is owned by the Annenberg group of Chicago! Talk about a conflict of interest! And Obama has been telling people on the trail to check out the site to verify his opponents claims. Funny, every time that he endorsed something, it turns out to be a part of his spin machine! Like he raised objections in the primaries when Indiana required photo I.D. to vote. He Protested that It took away people's right to vote! I
knew then and there that he was up to no good! America, wake up from the MASS HYPNOSIS!

I'm not quite sure how you and Megan Smolenyak of Ancestry.com figure that George Washington has 8,000 living descendants. Many 7th graders can tell you that George Washington had NO children. When he married Martha Custis, a widow, she had two children, John and Martha CUSTIS. There were no offspring of George and Martha Washington, therefore anyone sirnamed Washington is not and cannot be a descendant of George Washington. Helen Ratzlow Batavia, Illinois

About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
'A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.'
'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.'
'From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.'
'The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years'
'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to complacency;
6. from complacency to apathy;
7. from apathy to dependence;
8. from dependence back into bondage'
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...' Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the 'governmental dependency' phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message. If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

Actually this article is completely false. For this to occur would be highly unlikely if Washington was crowned King instead of President. Sure this fellow may be a descendant of Washington, but he is the decendant thanks to Washington and MANY members up the family tree. The course of America would have been much different and the Washington family created with respect to time would have been different as well. I highly doubt Washington's grand-children would have married the same people if they were kings as if the were regular ordinary people. Course of time changes everything. This man would have not existed. Gene-pool would have been very different. Think about it.

Well first wmseven it seems to me you don't know anything about this country's history...maybe you need to do a little more studying. this country was founded on religion and morals and so much more. here is just some of the truth behind what America was founded on...April 10, 1606 ??? The Charter for the Virginia Colony read in part:
???To the glory of His divine Majesty, in propagating of the Christian religion to such people as yet live in ignorance of the true knowledge and worship of God.???
March 4, 1629 ??? The first Charter of Massachusetts read in part:
???For the directing, ruling, and disposeing of all other Matters and Thinges, whereby our said People may be soe religiously, peaceablie, and civilly governed, as their good life and orderlie Conversacon, maie wynn and incite the Natives of the Country to the Knowledg and Obedience of the onlie true God and Savior of Mankinde, and the Christian Fayth, which in our Royall Intencon, and The Adventurers free profession, is the principall Ende of the Plantacion..???
At least 50 out of the 55 men who framed the Constitution of the United States were professing Christians. (M.E. Bradford, A Worthy Company, Plymouth Rock Foundation., 1982).
Eleven of the first 13 States required faith in Jesus Christ and the Bible as qualification for holding public office.
The Constitution of each of the 50 States acknowledges and calls upon the Providence of God for the blessings of freedom.
I hope you from now on think before opening that mouth of yours jackass...-

One thing about this article confuses me. How can Paul and his family be "direct" descendants of George Washington when, as the article clearly states, Washington was childless. I'm not an expert on geneology but it seems logical that if one has no children, one would have no descendants. They are direct descendants of George's brother Samuel, not George himself.
The whole point is really ludicrous when one considers that the whole point of the revolutionary for most of the colonists was to get out from under the heel of a monarchy. The idea was probably floated by some "nobles" who suddenly realized that without a monarchy, they were just the same as everyone else. thank goodness Washington had the sense to refuse them.-

Dear Sara Sota and all other Pagan worshippers of all deities, this is the twenty-first century and peace will only come from a respect and embracing of each others common humanity. Once the divisive attitudes of all world religions are dead then we can move forward into the non-dogmatic enlightenment Christ spoke of two thousand years ago.
Organized religion reflects the possessive and acquisitive traits which invite wars and separation instead of evolved, harmonious society. Masses are easily influenced by imaginative, aggressive leaders, be it pastor, priest, or president. Jesus' halo did not manifest from citing scripture against others ... nor from pews, picket lines or rubberized yoga mats. Such enlightenment arises from long, sweat-filled years of solo practice, meditation, and the surrender of self for the benefit of all beings in all realms. The great tenets of religion are livable only by a devoted few, though many of us profess or even preach belief in them. The definition of a belief is "limitation." Therein lies the Great Itch. Who was it that taught us to limit the love, light, and teachings of our Great Masters? The limitless kingdom of ???god??? is found far, far beyond paltry human capacity for -- and addiction to -- belief. To behave as humbly or to love as unconditionally as Christ, Buddha, or any Enlightened Master pivots upon tolerance and forgiveness.
Personally, I could care less if someone wants to love and marry a pink elephant. Great! More Love the Higher we all vibrate. Perhaps like the decaying, crucified trees within a forest, we should cut down our old, dead beliefs.
PS . . . Buddhism is not a religion and Buddha is not a god and Buddhists don???t claim otherwise. Buddha was a teacher and his students still live by the word as opposed to Christians who put their teacher through the process of deification and created a religion. Christians, as the self appointed guardians of morality, now march goosestep with all extremists in the quest to reinvent history and the world in their own twisted image. -

George Washington didn't have children of his own, he and martha raised her son and daughter and their grandchildren. So in that light we just don't know who would have taken the thrown when he died. But he didn't choose the Monarchy so I see no reason to announce that the Washington(Custis line declaring the could have been kings. That is kind of like " If the dog didn't stop to ____ he would have caught the rabbit."

This country is strong because the legacy from the founder fathers, this country works better than anyogher in the world becasue its design. It was designed using democracy as a foundation. There are a lot of things many americans have forgotten and that is why sometimes the system seems to struggle but as Thomas Jefferson said (I don't remember exactly his words but this is his message): those abnormalities are part of democracy to keep it going and evolving.

Alexandra, where is moral compass coming from if it does not come from God, and if you cannot see the difference between Iran and the USA and its leaders and the wonderful "sensible" country you live in then I think you are not sure what you are saying really, just mimicing and complaining about nonsense while in the midst of the most free society the world has ever known. And Christians have a right to their belifs without having the liberal mindset that all things are potentially true when in fact that cannot be logically sound. we look back on life and history see the mistakes and learn what works, but we have groups of people which I would say are the majority that think freedom is destroy your "self" for the sake of rights , despite who they hurt, despite if it keeps anyone safe, and all in the name of some righteous card drawn up out of some moral cosmic dust that has no origin from God at all. Humanism is what causes much of the dissent in America and almost desroyed Europe totally, that battle is still going on , just watch as Chrisitianity becomes less in Europe and Islam becomes more and gets more traction. You will see why Americans that resist too much power have a different God than that of Islam and Hindu and Buddhism and all the false gods of the world.

The only reason George Washington became the president was because he was very popular among the public and at the time, the president was more of a publicity agent for the rest of the government. If a monarch had been chosen, it probably would have been someone who had a bigger role in shaping the government, like Madison or Hamilton.

For all you uneducated Americans out there , in 1797 George Washington stated at the Treaty of Tripoli "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion" and the Constitution forms a secular document, and nowhere does it appeal to God, Christianity, Jesus, or any supreme being, Thomas Jefferson made an interpretation of the 1st Amendment to his January 1st, 1802 letter to the Committee of the Danbury Baptist Association calling it a "wall of separation between church and State." Madison had also written that "Strongly guarded. . . is the separation between religion and government in the Constitution of the United States." There existed little controversy about this interpretation from our Founding Fathers.
.And by the way moron, it is spelled forefathers not "four" fathers as you stated.-

"Smarter than us??????? Whom do you mean? Just because someone is rich, or well-educated, it doesn't mean they are "smart"! (The Unibomber, rememver, went to college!) Beibg intelligent is only ONE goveening factor in being a leader. The MOST IMPORTANT thing in being a leader in a Democracy, is, I think, using that intelligence to HELP OTHERS! Many evil men, (and women), were intellgent....AND SELFISH! BELIEVING in the Founding Father's phrase, "All Men Are Created Equal", is MORE important than super-intelligence, I think!
There is even a REAL story oif a simple French farmboy, who, a few decades ago, was tested for intelligence....and found to be a genuis!
What about Abraham Lincoln....who only had a fourth-grade education? And Leonardo Da Vinci was an illegimate child! (That's why his last name -- da Vinci -- was of a town, not of a father!) And -- a few centuries later -- another young boy was told by his teachers he would amount to nothing. This boy's name was ALBERT EINSTEIN!
THE MOST IMPORTANT STORY FOR OUR 'LEADERS' TO REMEMBER IS THIS: One day in the 1930s, WILL ROGERS said he wanted to go down to Washington DC, TO SEE HOW OUR HIRED HELP IS GETTING ON. "Elected" officials must realize this. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE, OR LESS, THAN THE ' HIRED HELP ' of us, their FELLOW citizens!!!!!!!!!
Yes, to be a Leader, one needs intelligence. But

Paul Emory Washingto would make an exemplaey President.....and King! He knows about the problems of "ordinary" people, and yet has leadership abilities!
That said, it must also be noted that MOST of our US presidents are RELATED! And related TO THE ENGLISH ROYAL FAMILY.....JUST AS GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS! This is an ASTOUNDING fact... but it is the TRUTH! Probably they are not all DIRECT descendants of President George Washington, as Paul Washington is....but they are close enough! In fact, RONALD REGAN, (the most closely related of our recent Preidents), was SO closely related to the English Royal Family, that Queen Elizabeth II inviteed him, (and ONLY him), to visit her at Buckingham Palace!
It's all decided at secret meetings. THE BILDERBERG GROUP, and meetings of the BOHEMIAN GROVE, (usually held in California!). THEY decide who will be President,, and who will be King. It's my guess that they were SO scared at the close call, (ALMOST making Al Gore the President,), that they've decided that the Democratic Candidate this time iwll be a Blac Man. (No matter how good a President Obama would be, the majority of the p0eople in this country are NOT ready for a Black Man to be President.) More's the pity....with John McCaine as President, (and---shudder---Sarah Palin as VP.....she makes John McCaine look like a liberal democrat!), more and more and more o our freedoms will be taken away!

America IS a monarchy, disguised as a republic, and called a democracy. If only Paul Washington was the king! The secret royalty of America has been the Rockefellers since 1908. They solely control the value and amount of money printed. There is nothing federal about the Federal Reserve System; it is a privately owned institution, like a company, by the Rockefeller family. There is no standard of the wealth of the dollar- only a few select people on a board deciding how much they should inflate the thing. (Pres. Bush Sr's father was on this board.) Every dollar is loaned to the government on interest, who then loans it to the public on interest, so it can never really be paid back. The Federal Income Tax is an attempt for the government to aquire the money to pay the interest... and every cent of it goes to the Rockefeller pockets. So, who rules the United States of America? Not any president, my friends!

For all you uneducated Americans out there , in 1797 George Washington stated at the Treaty of Tripoli "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion" and the Constitution forms a secular document, and nowhere does it appeal to God, Christianity, Jesus, or any supreme being, Thomas Jefferson made an interpretation of the 1st Amendment to his January 1st, 1802 letter to the Committee of the Danbury Baptist Association calling it a "wall of separation between church and State." Madison had also written that "Strongly guarded. . . is the separation between religion and government in the Constitution of the United States." There existed little controversy about this interpretation from our Founding Fathers.
Oh by the way, the phrase "one nation under God" or "In god we trust" was only added to the American lexicon in the 1950's as a way of telling the Sovet Union we were "god fearing" Americans and they were "Godless" communists. The connection to any God has nothing to do with the founding of this great country.
And by the way moron, it is spelled forefathers not "four" fathers as you stated.

America IS a monarchy, disguised as a republic, and falsely called a democracy. If only Paul Washington was the king! The royal family of the U.S. had been the Rockefellers since 1908. They solely control the worth and amount of our money printed, which has no standard of wealth, except what a panel votes on. There is nothing federal about the Federal Reserve System- it is privately owned, like a company, by the Rockefeller family. They loan every dollar to the government on interest, and the government loans it to the people. Obviously, that interest can never really be paid. Our federal income tax is an attemp to pay off that interest. All that money goes directly to the Rockefeller pockets. Who really rules the United States of America? Not any president, my friends!

Alot of good yet slightly off topic discussion spurred by this article. I have to say that the article itself is pretty trivial, but the responses have ranged from enlightening (regards to the elitism comment posted by NelsonRA) to infuriating (servant 43's ridiculously zealotic comment about religion in government... where it has no place). Clearly I am bias and I know that this person and his/her idiotic and irrelevant comment are not representative of all those who share in similar beliefs, but this kind of blind rhetoric is ridiculous. I think that in these discussions we find the central issues that have been plaguing America lately and even more so with the electoral campaigns in full swing. One section of another post hit the nail on the head... American leadership in any form, official or unofficial (behind the scenes), has become its own world. A world of individuals entrenched in wealth, corporate board rooms and connections to power that they have the power to do relatively anything in itself is potentially dangerous. Having these people so cut off from the lives of the "average" people is far far worse. If you ask me, religion, entertainment, consumerism are all methods of manipulation (or are being used as such) that serve the interests of the elite. If you look around you you might notice that people are getting dumber. Sure alot more of us can read... badly at that, but look at people's goals, their interests. I do not think it is normal for young children to be brainwashed by radical fundamentist evangelical groups (that are just as bad as any islamic fundamentalists), I don't think it is normal for millions to suffer crippling financial situations because a couple executives made millions if not billions of the sub prime mortgage crisis and I sure as heck don't think it is normal to see 4000 celebrity magazines on a shelf and of the 6 news magazines not one of them is reporting any of the downright scandalous actions of the Wealthy and the Powerful.
Recap: You're a tool, I'm a tool... we are all tools to those making the real decisions. They are only ever going to make decisions for themselves and in the meantime 3 quarters of the population are worried about Angelina and Brad, going out to the club, or aggressively spreading their religion to the detriment of diversity and general courtesy. The world is becoming a sad place and we are all to blame. If you do nothing else at all. Read, get informed and vote!!!-

WOW!! The world is full of brain washed Christians in the same way some have been brainwashed by the the Taliban. Religious extremists who embrace a deity over their own humanity and the rights and freedoms of their fellow human beings is disturbing. Our forefathers fought and died to bring about a seperation of church and state and penned a sacred document to insure that religious fanatics never again oppressed a nation. Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Jerry Falwell and other Christian fanatics would have it otherwise. Christian post these messages because they think by testifiying they are nearning a "Get out of Hell free" card. Be afraid. Very afraid.

But yet you dont see them bringing up there color or the way there people where treated. there's more things to talk about than dragging the past up over something not important.

I fully agree with Servant43- Jesus Christ is our only KIng- which if you really check into history- this is what our founding fathers believed also. George refused the monarchy offered him because of this as well as his belief in liberty. As for the comments on the cost of research, it says right there in the article that the company Ancestry.com had one of their own employees did it and the company did it as part of their advertising campaign. Also, it is true that Edward VIII did refuse the monarchy for himself for the reason of love,but he did not refuse it entirely, his brother became king and the monarchy continued. George Washington didn't refuse for just himself, but for his entire family and his new country. He is the only one to ever do that, all other revolutional leaders in history became emporers, dictators, or monarchs; they chose power and money over ideals. Bottom line is this article was for fun and interest- if you want to be upset , then be upset about where our country is headed, the people of our country have been apathetic for far too long and our country is falling into the pattern of other countries that made some attempt of liberty and failed. We need to be active in our government and VOTE!!

Today King George II sits upon the throne... The Congress and President have become nearly hereditary by default, as wealth and elitism become the essential crown of royalty today.
The Bush's, Roosevelt's, Clinton's...Gore's, Brown's(Ca.), etc all have passed on their heritage to their progeny. We now see an increasing centralization of wealth and power in the hands of a few families in America. The result is an ever increasing elitism in our social order, and a return to a form of fuedal state.
Fuedal lords appear on the horizon as royalty by another name... looms ever ready to take the reigns of governance over... America. Let us be vigilant and every ready too participate in our democracy. Party politic's feeds the flames of the elite, who control the political process... establishing the princes of the kingdom.
It would do us all good too remember the age old adage, 'for evil to prevail good men need only to do nothing'. It is past time that the average American reassert their enfluence in politics; afirming the heritage of our forefathers... liberty and justice for all... to our progeny. Be forewarned if one is unwilling to participate in nothing, he will certainly receive nothing or worse in return.
Register vote and more importantly participate in the political process... engage the party leadership, attend meetings of local and regional parties and government. Make your voice herd clearly and assert your God given voice for good in government. Do as George Washington did, pledge your life, liberty and fortune to good governance; for without personal sacrifice and participation one shall surely find their liberty taken from them... too, serve others.

Wow! People sure get upset over the little things. I think the research was neat- just something fun to do. As for the comment about the research; it says right in the article that the company Ancestry.com did it with one of their own employees; nothing was done by the government. It is true that Edward VIII turned down the throne for love, so yes George Washington was not the ONLY one to refuse to be monarch, but he is the ONLY leader to win a revolution and chose not to be king or dictator. Bottom line- relax people- it was just done for fun and interest. As a hobby genealogist, I found it quite interesting to see especially since he had no children. Paul isn't thinking "Oh, I wish things had been different so I could be king!" It was clear he knew it was just for fun. Always remember, the People of the USA are ultimately the government of the US and we wouldn't stand for it (normally). If you want to be upset; be really upset with all the citizens of our great country who are too apathetic to vote or work for the better of our country. We are quickly falling into the pattern of other countries that failed and were destroyed.

(Matthew chapter 5 verse 3 shows us the "Kingdom of Heaven" as well as chapter 6 verse 10 "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven") I encourage anyone wanting help making Jesus King over your life so you too may recieve his blessings to read his book The Bible. Only there can you discover the real truth that has existed for over 10 thousand years. Wisdom yearns for proof of its beliefs, while a fool is happier without truth. The truth is that no human could ever ge a good king. We are too easily corrupted by power and greed and fear to make truely great kings. Jesus was a man for sure but he was also God.

The only comment I have is: I hope our tax dollars did not pay for this research. We could save millions of dollars if just one of the brilliant persons we elect would just take the budget page of grants on research projects that are just so stupid. There are so many movements about so many things, why has no one said scratch off all the grants for research and lets start fresh. Who really wants to know how long a fly lives, has sex, etc. Or so many of the other listed research projects are given grants that people do a months work on and get $100,000 to turn in one white paper on it. Then the Ear Marks per State Officials. The Bridge to No where in Alaska, millions of dollars and no one except Sarah P. stopped it. Look into Ear Marks folks and we could have our nation back on track. And foolishly sprent research grants. Yes it is time to look over what we crab about folks. If you do not like the way our election officials can give themselves raises, can retire after 1 term and live on 100% or their salary for the rest of their lives -DO SOMETHING - DO SOMETHING NOW. Who could teach us how to do it - Ralph Nader. No I am not a Nader person but I can recognize a man who if we asked would do everything he could to show us how.

Sally returned to that child molester TJ because her children were there, and after years of TJ begging her to return. It is documented that she had lovers in France where she and TJ daughter lived a lavish lifestyle. But a mother's yearning for her children brought her back. And TJ(Tom Jefferson) manipulated that maternal calling for his own personal sexual predatory practices. If the colours were reversed and Thomas Jefferson was a black man and Sally was white the tales would be different. Think about it!

The notion of George Washington as king is so ridiculous and far fetched that it sounds like something that a bunch of stoners came up with while sitting around the table late at night. Furthermore, as a poitical science major, I am certain that there was never any chance that our country was going to be a monarchy. People were frustrated after the Revolutionary War, undoubtedly, but we fought the war as a revolt against tyranny.
It is no wonder that people don't know enough about our history. Be more responsible in your reporting....You idiots.-

I am curious...how can you be a "direct" descendant of Washington if he had no children? Adoption cannot replace the actual bloodline, and Martha's children, both of whom were adopted by Washington, were not of his bloodline. If he is of Washington's bloodline, nowhere in the article does it say that a DNA was done to prove he was of the bloodline; and if he is of the bloodline, he would have come from one of Washington's siblings...NOT Washington himself. This is very sloppy journalism.
