It was at about this time-six months earlier,
to be exact-that Betty Washington married
Col Fielding Lewis, a widower and owner OF
Kenmore, which at that time was called Mill
bank" not being given the name of Kenmore
until Col. Lewis, bankrupted by work for the
Revolution for which he was never paid, was
forced to sell the estate, and 1t passed on and
into the hands of the Gordons who named 1t
for Kenmore In Scotland. Betty was not Of
the type that Is called beautiful, but she was
unusually vivacious lacking her brothers dig
nifty, and was tall and graceful She bore a
striking resemblance to George, resembling him
50 much that when he became a general it was
trick of hers to throw a military cape over
her shoulder, place cooked hat upon her
head and come into Kenmore parior posing as
washington, much to the amusement Of her
guests. She was only II when she married,
and Col. Lewis was many years her elder, but
they appear to have been very happy at their
beautiful Kenmore estate. They were married
in old st. Georges Church. and a great recep-

bltlouS and fearless. The Colony needed men
OF his type, and before he was 81 he was
offered a commission, which he accented
Shortly after he reached 81, on February 30
there was a February 80 then-he appeared at
Fredericksburg and, according to the court rec
ords, produced a commission before the JUS
uces. The men before whom the almost un-
known youth took the oath Of Office were
Rlchard Tut, Benjamin Grymes John Thorn
Ton ana William Hunter, Gentlemen" and the
entry reads thus.
AT court held on the 3Oth day of Febru-
