George Washington's cobbler?
Posted by: D. Lape (ID *****1689)	Date: December 24, 2005 at 05:11:03

Oral tradition in my grandmother's line, says that one of my great grandmother's ancestors was a cobbler (boot or shoe maker) to George Washington.

Grandmother's Claypool line is as close as I can get to this family story. Anyone hear of such a family member?

I understand that Elizabeth Claypool & John Osborn bought land from the Fairfax family, a close connection to GW.

Thanks,
Deb
