I have become involved in western land speculation. Because of this, I have bought an interest in the Ohio Company. This Company has rights to land in the Ohio River Valley and they are planning to send colonists there to settle the territory. France has become interested in this area as well so that might be problematic.
Today I married the 16-year- old Ann Eilbeck. I adore and love her very much. I plan to have many children with her and stay with her for the rest of my life.
I am now 21 and after studying with tutors and attending an academy in Maryland I can finally take my inheritance. This includes 20,000 acres of land that spread across counties in Virginia and Maryland. Now that I own land, I can begin to make money and make a life for myself.
I am ten years old now. My father has just drowned in the Potomac by our plantation because of a sailing accident. My Uncle is now taking care of me. Uncle John has a huge 1500 book collection. One third of these books are only about law. I'm told that this library is the biggest in the American colonies. I plan to read all of these books and teach myself since uncle John won't let me go to any real school.
Hello loyal Britsh subjects and colonists. Now that I am five I have made the big decision to start a blog of my life. This is just in case I become famous one day and students in History class have to study me one day. Not that it will ever happen, but this will be here just in case.
