Sarah Ann Fortune, daughter of Joseph Fortune and Mary Reynolds, was born on 16 Jul 1776 in Henry County, Virginia, USA. She died before 1850 in Warren County, Missouri, USA.
Sarah Ann Fortune is a direct descendant of Col. William Ball and Hannah Atherold Ball, great grandparents of George Washington, first President of our country.
Col. & Mrs. William Ball's son Joseph Ball married Mary Montague.
Their daughter, Mary Ball, was George Washington's mother. Sarah Ann Fortune descends from Hannah Ball, daughter of Col. & Mrs. William Ball. Hannah and Joseph Ball were siblings. Hannah Ball married David Fox.
The second marriage of Augustine Washington to Mary Ball (born November 1708 and died 25 August 1789) produced six children. Thus, George Washington had five siblings.
Augustine Washington and Mary Ball were the parents of:
- George Washington (born 11 February 1731/2 and died 14 December 1799)
- Betty Washington (born 20 June 1733 and died 31 March 1797)
- Samuel Washington (born 16 November 1734 and died 26 September 1781)
- John Augustine Washington (born 13 January 1735/6 and died 17 February 1787)
- Charles Washington (born 2 May 1738 and died 16 September 1799)
- Mildred Washington (born 21 June 1739 and died 23 October 1740)
PATRIOTIC ORGANIZATIONS
Although George Washington had no children of his own, those individuals who can trace their lineage to Washington family members are eligible to apply for membership in The National Society of the Washington Family Descendants. Members gather once a year for fellowship and a weekend focused on activities to gain a better understanding of the family heritage.
