George also had a half brother named Lawrence. He had two wonderful, caring parents, his mother Mary Ball and his father Augustine "Gus" Washington.

Washington led one hundred men to Yorktown to try, and hopefully, to defeat the British, who were under the commands of General Cornwallis. This battle was fought for Bunker Hill, but fought on Breed's Hill. He spent a few months training the "rag-tag" team, which was made up of untrained colonists.
