George Washington's ancestral home was Sulgrave Manor, in Sulgrave, Northamptonshire. He had no connection with the town of Washington. Grutness...wha? 12:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Looks like both where home of George Washington (or at least his family).

Incorrect. As shown by link above.
Also to say that he had no connection with Washington, Tyne & Wear, is just pure stupidity considering it's historic fact.
Yeah, I've already mentioned that on Grutness' talk page, he was just mistaken that's all. hedpeguyuk 1 July 11:00 (UTC)
Why would this article have a little comment noting Washington Town in England as 'the original'. Unlike a lot of American cities which were indeed named for English towns, Washington, D.C. was named for a person not a town. --71.163.118.20 (talk) 07:31, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
