WASFILNGTON'S MANY ACRES

George Washington's marriage with the widow Custis brought him 900 acres of land mostly lying about the city of Williamsburg and a considerable property within that city
 Williamsburg important place in those days; the royal governors used to hold their vice-regal courts there and the planta tions round about were fiourishing and vau able. The Mount Vernon estate, added to that inherited and purchased by Washington amounted to more than 5000 acres. From his father he inherited about 300 acres near Fred erieksburg and some property in that city He earned by surveying for Lord Fairfax $50 acres of forest land in Frederick county. This last was sold by the Washington heirs only few years ago. As military bounty for his services in the French and Indian war he se-

cured 15,000 acres in western lands and increased the amount later, partly by purchase, to more than 30,000 acres.
 In his letters to his secretary, Tobias Lear, Washington speaks of his lands Tying on the Ohio be- tween the mouths of the Great and Little Kanawha rivers" amounting to 9,159 acres, and of land on the Great Kanawha amounting to 23,000 and more acres. These apparently were the lands he obtained by patent for his services in the French and h. dian war and added to by pur- chase. It has been claimed that part of this land comprises the site of Cincinnati.
 At one time Washington owned jointly with George Clinton 5000 acres of land in the Mohawk val ley, but most of this was sold be- fore he died. He owned city lots and houses in various towns and in his letters to Lear often speaks of his lands in western Pennsylvania in Washington and Lafayette counties. These amounted to near ly 5000 acres.
 When he died Washington DOS sessed, including the land brought him by his wife and the Mount vernon estate, more than 74,00O acres. And this did not include his city property. He was indeed a landlord on large scale. Be, sides the lands he held personally Washington was partner in vari. ous land companies, though none of these appear to have survived the revolution.

Unfortunately, Harewood in later years fell into decay, but recently several pro- jects have been inaugurated look ing to it's complete restoration and the return of it's historic furnish ings.
 As vivid reminder of the glo- ries of bygone days the best archi- tectural memento of our first pres. ident is found in another Wash ington home-Claymount. situated some two miles from Harewood This structure is in a perfect state of preservation and vividly sugges- tive in furnishings as well as ar chitecture, of colonial days. The estate at Claymount once belonged to George Washington and the present mansion, erected by Bush rod Washington, a son of the gen erals nephew, although not built until 1920, was constructed in ac- eordance with plans drawn by George Washington himself. The descendants of Bushrod Washing ton occupied Claymount for more than half century, but about ten years ago the historic estate passed into the possession of Frank R. Stockton, the well-known novelist. who resided there until his death.
 The manor house at Claymount consists of a central building of brick with two commodious wings and, on each side, a separate two story building connected with the long rectangular building by a

About a dozen miles from Clay mount and just over the Virginia line stands Audley, another of the h1stor- ic homes of the Washingtons. The house was built by member of the Washington family, but was later transferred to Lawrence Lewis, who married Nelly Custis, the adopted daughter and favorite of Gen Wash- ipgton. At Fredericksburg, Va.' stands Kenmore, famous as the nome of Betty Washington Lewis, the only sister of George Washington. The house was built to gratify the amb1- ton of Betty" Washington to have the most magnificent residence in the Old Dominion and the interior deco rations were executed during the rev olutionary war by a British soldier a prisoner on parole.
