George Washington

According to the MyHeritage book report related to our family tree, one of the persons whom we are indirectly related to via Augustine Washington Jr is George Washington. Augustine was George's half-brother and Ann Lee (Aylett)'s brother-in-law.

Ann Lee nee Aylett (b. about 1738 in Stratford, Westmoreland, Virginia/d. 12 Dec. 1768 in Westmoreland co., VA) was the wife of Richard Henry Lee. Richard Henry was a nephew of  William Fitzhugh II's wife. William was our 1st cousin seven times removed.

Very indirect and distant relation indeed. But still a relation.
