A Virginian in Yankeeland
by Benjamin Evans Dean
Category: Owego Region (N.Y.)

He's not a Yankee. He's a Virginian." Early in Hitler's war, Kentucky soldiers dub Owego's author-to-be. Going by jus sanguinis (the right blood), they thus help name this decades-later book. It fills a big gap in Americana by detailing the experience of one line of George Washington's descendants. He had a son--Israel Dean. The author is Israel's great-great-grandson, thus a George Washington VI. The inside story is presented by a descendant who is a party in interest. Important events: A Washington "Spoiler" Party is slipped int a 1914 Congressional election to the detriment of an unaware George Washington IV. A freak recount is used to take away a county-level treasureship victory from an unaware George Washington V. A Sneak Bill issued to eliminate the villager's power to elect a member of the county board when an unaware George Washington V is holding the elective office authorized by state charter. These books are useful to the research needs of Congress, historians, scholars, librarians, sociologists, lawyers, and students of poliltical motivations based on secret genealogy. The paper writing purporting to be George Washington's will has no witnesses. By virtue of he laws of descent and distribution actual title to George Washington's vast estates passed to his son Israel Dean (Washington), then to Israel's two sons and five daughters. They never got their due. Third parties exploited George Washington's vast estates. The exploiters--political occultists--working through operatives and cut-outs tracked down and played psychological tricks on the Israel Dean descendants. But such dirty tricks left tracks. These books detail some of them.
