re: #268 Higgs Boson’s Mate

Apparently he was too busy sleeping at every wide spot in the road in colonial America.

Washington actually had solid connections with that general area in his younger days. Did surveying and was part of some land purchases in that area of what was then still the Virginia colony.*

* - Viriginia at one time I believe claiming the whole swath of land west of their current enclave and thus including Kentucky and chunks of what became a number of states. Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia all had a number of border disputes going. The Mason-Dixon Line settling one of them. (And also you get that odd Delaware circular boundary from that stuff as well.)
