William Washington

William Augustine Washington (February 28, 1752 to March 6, 1810), was an officer of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, who held a final rank of brigadier general in the newly created United States after the war. Primarily known as a commander of light dragoons, Washington led mounted troops in a number of notable battles in the Carolinas during the campaigns of 1780 and 1781.
== Before the war ==
Born in Stafford County, Virginia, William was the second son of Bailey Washington and Catherine (née Storke) Washington (primary source evidence, including correspondence between George Washington and William, establishes the fact that George and William were second cousins). Washington was raised with a Southern planter upbringing and believed in the values of being a gentleman. He was tutored by a Reverend Mr. Stuart, a clergyman from Virginia. Washington learned the Greek language and studied several areas of theology for a potential career in the church. Instead of a career in the ministry, he took up arms against the British government during the Revolutionary War. William and his elder brother, Henry, are said to have drawn straws to see who would get to join the Continental Army and who would stay home and manage the family plantations. William won.
