Back in 1984, CBS produced a 4-part mini-series on the life of George Washington. 2 years later, they brought back a lot of the original cast to do a 2-part follow-on about Washington's presidency. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoVCFt0HN9wIt's up on Youtube now. KYHillChick and I just finished watching it. It has the shamanic seal of approval.

Got a great great (however many greats) grandfather that was a buddy of his. Later in life he was one of Washington's pallbearers and afterwards was buried beside Washington, presumably with Martha on the other side.

Godogs57: Your kin probably knew my kin-- Shreves. They certainly knew KYHillChick's kin, the Balls. Washington's mom was a Ball. I forget which Ball it was that took off through the Cumberland Gap, but he left owing George 20 pounds. George forgave him in his will.
GTOM: George is played by Barry Bostwick. Patty Duke plays Martha.

Lots of cemeteries around there with my family last name. And here i sit in arizona.

Here's more info on the series: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086720/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_148Yes, THAT Barry Bostwick. You may remember him from Rocky Horror Picture Show: . . . of course that was 10 years before this mini-series was made.

From what I understand, the Balls came through the Gap, said "F--- this sh--!" and settled a couple of miles on the other side and didn't budge for 70 years.

I seem to recall another Barry Bostwick presidential role in something along the lines of "Franklin Delano Roosevelt, American Badass", but I may be imagining that. (Hitler and Mussolini were werewolves IIRC.) Slightly different concept from the GW pic.

Hey, thanks for this, episodes one and two playing in the background helped a long and tedious paperwork/documentation session go by

Bob!! I thought for sure you would be one of le dastardly Francois 'iding en le weeds avec les indiens hostiles a Fort Nécessité. Then again, I was also looking for you among the rücksichtslose Hessische söldner in episode two. If I was there would dress up like that for the moustache alone.

I am a descendant of William Ball IV. His brother Joseph Ball was George Washington's great grandfather. Or you could say I am a descendant of William Ball the III, who was George's great great grandfather. William IV and Joseph were the ones to come to America. William came to Jamestown in 1650. I believe that Joseph was already here when William came.
