john washington was the first washington to arrive in virginia in 1656. and his idea was to simply load up his ship with tobacco, and sail back to england and sell it there. he had no intention of remaining in virginia. we owe the whole future history of our country to the fact his ship sank. he was ready to go. he was going to go back home and the poor guy's ship sank. he displayed among the first attributes of the washington's and there were many of them. adaptability, flexibility. he complains a lot, too. the washington's are complainers. he complains about who is going to pay for the loss. he is very adaptable and decides well, this is the reality. i have lost my ship. i am going to make my fortune here. the next thing he does that is very characteristic of the washington's is he marries very well. before i go on, i would like to talk about good marriages in the washington family. i would like to emphasize the fact this was not a matter of the washington men looking around saying where is a good place for a wife because women were waiting to be swept
