One of the original Washington
houses is standing about 100 yards
from the Corson cottage. Only the
weather boarding has been renewed.
1t is frame shanty, and the story
goes that 1t was used as an office OF
the estate when the Washingtons lived
there.
OF the 200 acres surrounding the
house two are in garden and orchard,
Is in oak timber and the remainder in
farming land, planted this year In
wheat and corn. When Corson bought
the land it was deeply SCARED with
Burnside's earthworks, there being 13
gun pits near where the house stands.
These pits have been obliterated, with
the exception of one, which has been
lett as relic.
Fredericksburg has grown south
ward till part of the city is directly
across from the Washington home
site. The steamboat landing on the
city side is within easy pistol shot OF
the Washington house. When the
wind blows from the northeast the
whistle of steamboats, on the Potomac
river, Is miles away, may be heard.
To the north of the Washington
house, but still on land that was the
Washington farm, is Chatham, one OF
the noble places of Virginia. During
the union operations against Marye's
Heights, Chatham was Burnside's
headquarters.
Across the river at the upper end
of Fredericksburg is the great house

ter Elizabeth became the wife of Maj,
Fielding Lewis of Fredericksburg, a
revolutionary officer of distinction. He
built Kenmore in 1749. One of their
sons was intimately associated with
George Washington and became the
husband of Nellie Custis, granddaugh-
ter of the wife of George Washington
and adopted daughter of Washington
The mother of Washington was
buried at romantic spot in the Ken.
more grounds. Soon after the death
of Mrs. Washington her widowed
daughter Betty moved from Kenmore
to live with her daughter, Mrs. Carter,
in Lancaster county. There she died
in 1877 and her children sold Kenmore.
The purchasers laid out their family
burial ground close to the grave Of
Mary Washington, and inclosed their
lot with a high brick wall, leaving
the Washington grave outside. Mary
Washington's grave was long neglect
ed. Various efforts to erect monu-
ment failed, until in the early '90s a
Fredericksburg auctioneer offered the
land on which the grave was for sale.
This aroused indignation, money was
subscribed and May 10, 1894, the pres
ent classic shaft that marks the grave
of Mary, Mother of Washington" was
dedicated.

house IN which Washington was born

Augustin Washington, nephew Of
George Washington and son of George
Washington's elder half-brother Au-

Washington, dwells there today.
Fredericksburg by the Rappahan-
mock was the boyhood home of George
Washington. There he attended school
to Mr.. Hobby, and there the apochry-
phal cherry tree incident was laid;
there he subdued the wild colt,
and there he threw silver dollar, or
other object, across the Rappahannock
river The colt incident Is believable
and the pitching story Is plausible.
1t was at Fredericksburg that Wash
ington was initiated into Masonry. 1t
was there that he took final leave of
his mother before assuming the Office
of president In New York, and 1t was
there that Mrs. Washington, success
