I NEED HELP THIS DUE IN 30 MINUTES ILL GIVE YOU THE BRAINLIEST!!! George Washington was born on February 22, 1732, in an old-fashioned Virginia farmhouse near the Potomac River, on what was known as Bridge's Creek Plantation. The house had four rooms on the ground floor, with an attic of long sloping roofs and an enormous brick chimney at each end. George's father was a wealthy planter, owning land in four counties, more than 5,000 acres in all. Some of his lands were on the banks of the Rappahannock River, near which he had invested in iron-mines. To this plantation, the family removed when George was seven-years-old, the new home being nearly opposite Fredericksburg, then a small village. Here, he was sent to a small school and taught by a man named Hobby, a sexton1 of the church and tenant of George's father. It was a simple sort of training the boy received from such a schoolmaster. He learned a little reading and a little writing and that was about all.
