George Steptoe Washington (August 17, 1771 - January 10, 1809) was a planter, militia officer and nephew of the first President of the United States George Washington. ==Early life== George Steptoe Washington was born August 17, 1771 at Harewood, his father's plantation in Berkeley County, Virginia (now Jefferson County in West Virginia) the fourth of seven children (but the eldest surviving son) born to Samuel Washington and his fourth wife, Anne Steptoe. George Steptoe Washington was named for his uncle, President George Washington, while his middle name came from that of his mother's family. George had four brothers and two sisters (as well as several half-brothers and sisters): *# Ferdinand Washington (July 15, 1767-February 1788) *# Frederick Augustus Washington (June 4, 1768 – April 23, 1769) *# Lucinda Washington (November 29, 1769 – November 3, 1770) *#George Steptoe Washington *# Lawrence Augustine Washington (April 11, 1774 – February 15, 1824) *# Harriet Washington (August 2, 1776 – January 3, 1822) *# Thomas Washington (1778–1838) After his father's death, he, along with brother Lawrence Augustine and sister Harriot, went to live with their uncle George Washington for a time. The future president paid for him and his brother to be educated at Georgetown academy, where according to historian Ron Chernow, "they were wild and uncontrollable and a constant trial to Washington". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Steptoe Washington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
