George Washington Bush (1779 –April 5, 1863) was an American pioneer and one of the first multiracial (Irish and African-American〔) non-Amerindian settlers in what would later become the U.S. state of Washington.〔 ==Early life==
George Washington Bush was born in Pennsylvania around 1779. An only child, he was raised as a Quaker and educated in Philadelphia.〔Tumwater Research Center. (“History and Background of Pioneer Bush Family” ), ‘’Olympia News’’, 1945-07-06, Retrieved on 2008-07-13.〕 Bush’s father Matthew was born in India, but was of African descent. Matthew Bush worked for a wealthy English merchant named Stevenson for most of his life. At Stevenson’s home in Philadelphia, Matthew Bush met his wife, an Irish maid who also worked for Stevenson, and they married in 1778. Pennsylvania did not repeal its anti-miscegenation law until 1780, suggesting that Matthew Bush was either not considered black, or he was married under the care of Germantown Friends Meeting in violation of the law. George's parents served Stevenson until his death. Stevenson had no other family and so left the Bushes a substantial fortune.〔
