The Man Who Would Be King

like you said george washington had no children of his own i do not know if his brother lawerance had ant children or not his wife martha had 2 children pasty was robert e lee grand mother and zaachery tylor was was also a desendent of martha washington and jefferson the davis was too so eather one of there fasmiies would have be come kings or queens

How can a man who had no children have 8,000 descendants living today? I am neither my uncle's desdendant nor my nephew's ancestor. Obviously a genealogist didn't write this piece.

You are all so funny---and retarded! Very entertaining--thanks!

Well, well, well. Now we know where to start w/reparations. Mr. George made alot of money on the backs of Africans, as did alot of Caucasians in his day. As a matter of fact, the US made billions on the free slave labor trade, but won't entertain reparations. No, I am not looking for a handout. I am a blessed young man well able to take care of himself, thank God, and if I was hungry, I wouldn't have to tell any of youall. But at least flood some of that money into to inner city schools where alot of African American kids don't have adequate programs and falling buildings. At least make it an environment conducive to them becoming successful as well, would be the least they could do. I know, I know, sending billions of dollars to Iraq is more important. But for who is what would blow your socks off.

I'm a little confuesd as to why female descendents are skipped over? At one point the article mentions that if a man only had a daughter, the crown would jump to another side of the family. I know in most countries women cannot inherit the crown but in England they can. It seems most likely that we (Americans) would be more inclined to follow the English rules of succession.

Interesting article,well written.

Megan Smolenyak's research does not talk about a direct line of descent from George Washington, who had no children. Instead, her research focused on determining the closest auxiliary lines, such as the descendants of George Washington's brother. She found four close lines, and Paul Emery Washington, improbably, descends from two of them.

How many more posts will there be that say George Washington had no children?

This is to the patriotic american, please remember to tell your son about the genocide that had been committed in this country against people of a yellow or brown skin tone. You may even want to discuss lynchings and other autrocities that have been committed against your very own citizens, just a couple decades ago. Some of us need to wake up and realize that this is not ab out being conservative or liberal, brown, white, or olive, it is about being american. We are all in this together. No one is superior to anyone, read the declaration of independence or even your constitution.

So I'm confused. George Washington had no issue although his wife did. They were his step-children and wouldn't be eligible to inherit a monarchy. So this article is quite pointless...
