In an address to "the Mayor and Commonalty of the Corporation of Fredericksburg In 1700 he thanked them for the "honorable mention which Is made of my revered mother, by whose maternal hand (early deprived of a Father) I was led to manhood. When she died In 1789 and congress passed resolutions of sympathy, his reply contained this trlb- cte to her: "I attribute all of my success In life to the moral. Intellectual and physical education which I received from my mother. Even though that statement Is closely akin to Lincoln's famous tribute to his mother, "God bless my mother. All that I am or hope to be I owe to her, It Is doubtful If there was the warmth of feeling In Washington's words that there were In Lincolns. For the truth of the n matter Is that there was never the close attachment between George Washington abd Mary Ball Washington that there was between Abraham Lincoln and Nancy Hunks Lincoln, or even between the Great Emancipator and his stepmother, Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln. Left motherless at the age of thirteen, Mary Ball was married to Augustine Washington at twenty-twand gave the name of George to her first-borIn honor of her guardian and girlhood benefactor, Maj. George Eskridge. That she was a stern parent seems to be the unanimous verdict of all of the early Washington biographers. Of her, Lawrence Washington of Chotauk, once said: "I was often there with George his playmate, schoolmate and young man's companion. Of the mother I was ten times more afraid than 1 ever was of my own parents. She awed me In the midst of her kindness, for she was Indeed truly kind. I have often been present with her sons, proper tall fellows, too. and we were all as mute as mice ; and even now, when time has whitened my locks, and lam the grandparent of a second generation, I could not behold that remarkable woman without feelings It Is Impossible to describe.
