Through the death of his half-brother. whom
he accompanied to Barbados in the West Indies
in search of health Washington became master
of Mount Vernon. On his return journey he called

Morristown became Washngton's headquarters in
1776, both Morris and his wife being fugitive

been materially changed had Mary Phlipse be-
come the wife of George Washington.
In the spring of 1850 Washington met his fate.
