Historical Context

I hope I'm not posting too much.
I saw something here the other day, and wanted to comment but hadn't introduced myself yet.
Now I can't find it.
Basically the post or discussion was about President George Washington likely liking Native People.
I did a deep dive years ago about early founding figures, and whatnot. It is a fact that George Washington's Secretary was John Stagg Jr, who was descended from Stegge IIRC, John Jr had gone to England to get an education and also clean up his pedigree. English being British ;), probably wouldn't let him keep his fathers name since it was and actual English sir name. So Stagg was conceived. He was in fact very native, all the women in his family in America were native.
Which brings me to George Washington, George is a sir name, so that makes him an American "bastid" meaning he was also of mixed ancestry without a doubt.
;)
Know this, no puritans would have used anything other than proper Christian names. And not something they chose out of a book.
In those days, names meant something "not defined" but as title.
I haven't dug into Washington, I'd bet it's a native place name.
Be careful, because I've found where Europeans- native "slaves" brought back names to Europe.
I hope this is helpful

I really miss my Facebook groups of native humor, you can always tell real natives online for their love of deep dark humor and not a single panty gets sand in it. I just refuse to be subjected to algorithm manipulation.
I checked in to my wikibush website yesterday and lo and behold a huge discussion about so many Georgia Washington's apparently. ;)
Not related but on the same website, people keep trying to attach their families to mine, noobes lol.
Then they hit a red brick wall, and quit.
Grandma took what she learned from a certain religious group about certificates and went absolutely hogwild back in the day. She wasn't no farmer after all, unless farming papers is a thing, oh she's laughing her ass off at that joke.

Quote; U.S. capital, founded 1791, named for President George Washington (1732-1799); the family name is from a town in northeastern England, from Old English, literally "estate of a man named Wassa." The U.S. state was named when it was formed as a territory in 1853 (admitted to the union 1889). Related: Washingtonian /quote.

I've been using this lovely website for a decade, they do have some colonizer jesus bias, so be very careful "Warner Bros- cartoon accent lol.
Case in point, the location they mention is wrong, it's in southern England lol.
Is it me that I'd expect the learned folks at the site to not make such grievous errors on literally literary content on their own website lol?
See my above comments how names were changed to reflect history and traditions across the pond.
